Astrological compatibility
Taurus and Aquarius
♉ Taurus (Earth, Fixed) · ♒ Aquarius (Air, Fixed)
Taurus and Aquarius form a square, the aspect of friction: they share a modality but not an element, so both want the same thing in different ways. There's spark and there's clash; it works if they choose it.

Apr 20 – May 20 · ruled by Venus
Stability, sensuality and patient building.

Taurus and Aquarius in love
In love, Air brings ideas and lightness and Earth brings calm and presence. It works when Air follows through on what it says and Earth opens up to the new.
In friendship and work
In friendship and work, both sustain and don't let up: total loyalty, but if they disagree neither gives in.
Why they get along this way
Element — Ideas and facts. Air thinks in possibilities and Earth in what can be sustained. Air gives Earth perspective and Earth gives shape to Air's ideas — or they lose patience with each other.
Rhythm. Both are fixed: both sustain. They understand each other's way of moving, but neither makes up for what the other lacks.
Polarity. Taurus is Yin and Aquarius is Yang: one goes outward and the other inward, and that balances them or pulls them apart.
Rulers. Taurus is ruled by Venus (affection and pleasure); Aquarius, by Uranus and Saturn (freedom and change; structure and time).
What each one brings
Taurus: determination, patience and loyalty.
Aquarius: innovation, originality and humanitarianism.
Where they can clash
Taurus: stubbornness, resistance to change and materialism.
Aquarius: emotional detachment, rebelliousness and unpredictability.
How to look after the bond
Pick your fights and agree beforehand on who decides what. Used well, the tension of the square is an engine; used badly, it wears you down.
