Taurus and Libra Compatibility in Love and Relationships
Taurus and Libra share a sense of beauty in love, and decisions divide them. Libra often gives way, and Taurus fails to notice until it has piled up. It looks calm from outside, and stays calm until someone has had enough.
What draws them together
Venus rules them both and it shows: a gallery on a Sunday afternoon, a graceful room, good wine at a nicely laid table. Libra values in Taurus the calm they lack, and Taurus values Libra's charm, which wins over every table. They can get stuck on the third floor of a museum in front of a single painting and stand there for half an hour. Taurus likes the way Libra talks about lovely things so that Taurus then sees them. They look at the world in a similar way, only Libra does it with words and Taurus with their hands.
Love and intimacy
Taurus chooses slowly and takes it seriously, Libra flirts lightly and with pleasure. A Taurus who has decided believes it is settled, while Libra weighs a while longer what might have been. In bed the result is tender and carefully composed: candles, music, good sheets. Taurus needs a clear answer, Libra needs to be sure nobody is looking for a hidden motive. When Taurus grasps that Libra's lightness isn't frivolity, and Libra that Taurus's persistence isn't pressure, a tenderness grows that lasts.
Everyday life and home
The colour of the living-room walls took two months. Libra had five swatches, Taurus knew within a week but kept quiet out of consideration. When Taurus finally spoke, Libra agreed, which unsettled Taurus more than a row would have. That is how the home looks: lovely, matched, and built on answers of "whatever you like". Taurus runs the money, Libra the decor, and both accept it. Eventually the flat could be in a magazine, and Taurus discovers that Libra has never said what they dislike about it.
Where it rubs and how to ease it
Libra says "fine, as you like" and Taurus takes it literally. A week later it turns out Libra wanted otherwise but didn't wish to spoil the mood, and Taurus is baffled, having been given a yes. Libra's mood swings then look like caprice when they are really stored-up concessions. Taurus should ask a second time, "Really?", and Libra get used to saying no at once, even gently. Putting big decisions off by a day, not a week, helps. Sun signs do not say everything: the Moon and Venus in each chart can make Libra's yes come easier or harder.
Taurus man and Libra woman
A Taurus man learns beside a Libra woman that gentleness is not weakness: she gets her way without raising her voice. In him she has support to lean on when her knees shake before a decision. So that she isn't afraid to refuse, he should show her that her disagreement doesn't anger him.
Taurus woman and Libra man
A Taurus woman and a Libra man keep order in the flat and agreements in the diary. She needs her amiable partner to decide something at last. He needs her not to see him as a ditherer but as someone who sees both sides. It helps if she offers him two choices, not ten.
Keeping it alive
- Ask a second time, "Really?", before you take a yes as settled.
- Libra, say no straight away, gently if you like.
- Put big decisions off by a day, not a week.
