♉︎♒︎ Taurus and Aquarius compatibility

How well do Taurus and Aquarius go together? By tradition: full of tension.

Here two people meet who are equally determined but tick differently. Tradition calls this a connection with a lot of energy and quite a few quarrels. If you can bear the tension, you grow through it.

What helps: Clear agreements, and arguments about the matter, never about the person.

What connects them

Both know what they want, and that creates respect.

Where it rubs

Taurus loves the familiar, Aquarius the unusual, and neither likes to budge.

Element and way

Earth and air: earth thinks in things, air in thoughts. Air brings ideas and lightness, earth asks which of them can be put into practice. That works well together, as long as you don't find each other too heavy or too fleeting.

Taurus is a fixed sign, Aquarius a fixed one. Both belong to the fixed signs: they hold on to what they have. That makes the connection faithful and steady. It gets difficult when both stand their ground, because neither likes to give way.

The two in love

In love, Taurus is faithful and sensual. It needs reliability, time and small pleasures.

In love, Aquarius is a friend first. It needs room of its own and someone who likes its quirks.

The planets of the two

The planet of Taurus is Venus. Venus stands for love, beauty and balance. It brings tenderness to a relationship and a feel for getting on well together.

The planet of Aquarius is Uranus, by the old rulership Saturn. Uranus stands for freedom and the unexpected. It brings surprises to a relationship and the wish for room of your own.

Read by decans

Tradition divides every sign into three decans of about ten days. Each decan has a sub-sign of the same element, and the couple then reads like the two sub-signs. If you know the birthdays, here is the finer reading. Under each decan are its approximate days and its sub-sign. The dates are for 2026 and shift by about a day from year to year.

Taurus II 30 Apr – 10 May Virgo	challenging	full of tension	unfamiliar yet close
