Taurus and Aquarius Compatibility
Taurus and Aquarius are a square, three signs apart, an earth sign and an air sign. In general they tend to bring ideas and practicality together.
How Taurus and Aquarius fit together
You are three signs apart, which is called a square. You share a style of acting, since you are the same mode, but your elements pull in different directions. The result is friction and attraction in the same place, which keeps things lively and sometimes tense.
Earth and air meet in the middle between thought and matter. Earth tends to be practical and air tends to be curious, so they can seem to be speaking from different rooms until they find what they share.
Both are fixed signs, which means both are loyal, persistent and slow to change their minds. That gives the relationship staying power, and it can also mean a standoff when neither will move.
Taurus in love
Taurus loves slowly and for keeps. Affection shows in steady presence, touch, good food and doing what it said it would, and once it has chosen someone it tends to stay.
Aquarius in love
Aquarius loves as a friend first. It is drawn to originality and independence, shows affection through ideas, loyalty and shared causes, and needs a relationship with room in it.
What each brings, and what each needs
Taurus brings loyalty, calm and a talent for making life comfortable, and needs patience, consistency, and time to trust before anything speeds up. The hardest parts tend to be change that arrives suddenly, and saying out loud what it wants.
Aquarius brings originality, loyalty to its principles and a genuine respect for who you are, and needs freedom, intellectual company, and acceptance of its quirks. The hardest parts tend to be staying present for heavy emotion, and letting someone get very close.
Making it work
Treat the friction as information. When you disagree, ask what each of you is really protecting. A square tends to grow the people in it, and it rewards honesty over politeness.
