When you picture the grounded Taurus and the spunky Sagittarius, you probably don’t see them as a couple. However, the attraction between these two signs is often undeniable, and this pairing has the potential to last for a long time. Read on to learn more about this couple and how the signs can make it work together.

This article is based on an interview with our astrologer and performance artist, Angel Eyedealism. Check out the full interview here.

Section 1 of 6:

Sagittarius and Taurus Relationship at a Glance

These signs are complete opposites, but this can be a positive thing. When you think of a Sag and a Taurus, a romantic relationship is probably not your first thought. Sag is a feisty fire sign, while Taurus is a serious, docile earth sign.^{[1]

- The attraction between these two signs will be powerful, but also a little confusing. Often, the pairing will wonder what it is exactly that draws them toward each other, and they might not be able to name the actual things they like about their partner.

Section 2 of 6:

Sagittarius and Taurus Sexual Compatibility

Taurus likes to take things slow, while Sag is ready for anything. In the bedroom, these two signs might clash—the grounded earth sign Taurus will want to inject a lot of emotion into the act, while the spunky fire sign Sagittarius treats it like an adventure. With open communication and a little understanding, this pairing can make things work.^{[2]

- Taurus is often described as sensual, not sexual.^{[3]

- Most often, what happens is that the Sagittarius will expand the Taurus’s horizons and introduce them to new things.

Section 3 of 6:

Sagittarius and Taurus Emotional Compatibility

Sag works through emotions quickly, while Taurus likes to sit with them. These signs view emotions completely differently: the Taurus will process their feelings slowly, savoring them until they know where they’re coming from. But the Sag does the opposite: they work through emotions quickly and then never revisit them again.
- Sagittarius tends to shy away from any outward expression of love—getting a love letter or a sweet note from their partner actually makes them less interested, not more.^{[4]

- The key here for the couple is to understand where the other is coming from and respect it, even if they can’t relate to it.

Section 4 of 6:

Sagittarius and Taurus Communication Compatibility

Sagittarius is bold and brash, while Taurus is more soft-spoken. In a conversation, you might find these two getting frustrated with each other—the hyped up Sagittarius will wonder why the studious Taurus is taking so long to answer them. If the two can respect each other’s communication styles, they can learn to chat without getting overwhelmed.
- Taurus may find it hard to keep up with the fast-paced Sag who moves from topic to topic quickly.

Section 5 of 6:

Sagittarius and Taurus Intelligence Compatibility

Both signs love to learn and explore different topics. Intelligence is the one thing this pairing sees eye to eye on—they’ll never run out of things to talk or wonder about. The stoic, well-versed Taurus will have a thing or two to learn from the outspoken, mutable Sagittarius, and vice versa. If these two can avoid taking things personally, they can have lively debates about almost any topic and never get bored.
- Taurus tends to be very goal-oriented, because they love the stability that money provides.^{[5]

- Sometimes, a Taurus and Sagittarius make better friends than lovers, for this reason. They can always chat and have a good time together, as long as there aren’t a ton of deep emotions involved.

Sagittarius and Taurus: Biggest Problems

Taurus craves stability which Sagittarius often struggles to provide. The easygoing, flighty Sag is hard to pin down, which can scare the more traditional Taurus.^{[6]

- The key here is to talk and reassure each other about their commitment to the relationship. If they can both promise to stick by each other no matter what, they can make things work.
2
This pairing tends to be emotionally out of sync. This is the biggest area where the signs will clash. Taurus likes to work through their emotions logically, while the Sag wants to express themselves and then move on. If they can’t come together and reach a compromise, their relationship could ultimately fall apart.
- Although the signs might not understand each other, they can respect each other. If they can both find a way to compromise and give the other person what they need, they can make this relationship work.
