Here's What Happens When a Libra Dates a Taurus

When we’re talking about astrological compatibility, there are a few factors we look at. Two major ones are the signs’ elements and the aspect between them, which is determined by the angle the two signs make with each other. But there’s another, less common way of looking at compatibility, and that’s where Libra and Taurus really shine: Their ruling planet.

See, each zodiac sign has a ruling planet, and Libra and Taurus share one. Both Libra and Taurus are ruled by Venus, the ~planet of love~. This means that even though their elements (air and earth) don’t typically mesh well, they have some major similarities and a compatible POV on love. Let’s talk more:

Libra and Taurus: Personality Traits

Libra and Taurus have a few key differences. As an air sign, Libra is more outgoing and sociable than Taurus, who leans more introverted and is definitely a homebody. Libra also tends to flit from interest to interest, hobby to hobby, friend group to friend group, job to job, etc. For Taurus’s part, once they decide they like someone or something, they’re locked in for life.

However, these two share an important trait: Their love for luxury, beauty, and romance. These two Venus-ruled signs value ~the finer things in life~, like a good meal, a beautiful painting, high fashion, and gorgeous people. They’re also both emotionally intelligent and great at reading others.

Libra and Taurus: Friendship Compatibility

Their shared love of luxury can make for a rewarding friendship full of museum visits, fine dining, weekend getaways, and fashion tips. However, there is one thing to mention in a Libra/Taurus friendship—it’s not necessarily a huge problem, but it can be kinda awkward. See, Taurus tends to have a few super-close friends, while Libra has a wide circle of acquaintances. In a Libra/Taurus friendship, Taurus might think they and Libra are BFFs, while Libra sees Taurus as one of the 250 people on their Instagram Close Friends list.

Libra and Taurus: Sexual Compatibility

Venus is the planet of not only romantic love, but also ~pleasure~. So it should be no surprise that Libra and Taurus are both amazing in bed—individually but especially together! Both Taurus and Libra could spend all day in bed together, languorously exploring each other’s bodies with breaks for chats, snacks, and maybe an episode of TV. (Also, they both have *excellent* sex playlists.)

Libra and Taurus: Relationship Compatibility

Their shared values and interests can help this couple go a long way, but there are a few potential pain points. First, Taurus is infamously stubborn, and Libra is a notorious people-pleaser. This means that a Libra/Taurus relationship runs the risk of Taurus steamrolling Libra’s opinions and Libra masking what they really think in order to please Taurus. In order to avoid this, Libra will have to speak up and Taurus will have to compromise. Less seriously, Taurus and Libra also have different social needs. Taurus values their alone time, while Libra thrives when they’re surrounded by others. However, this can easily be solved by Taurus staying home occasionally while Libra goes out to mingle with friends—and filling Taurus in on all the drama afterwards.

Libra and Taurus: Marriage Compatibility

Venus, planet of love, shines bright on this pair! If they can work out the potential issues I mentioned above, they can have a long and rewarding marriage in which each supports the other. Just look at famous Libra/Taurus couple Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian for an example!
