LIBRA AND TAURUS LOVE COMPATIBILITY


HOW COMPATIBLE ARE LIBRA AND TAURUS IN A LOVE RELATIONSHIP?

Because Libra and Taurus belong to conflicting Elements (Earth and Air) they might not be considered a particularly good love match. But since they’re both ruled by Venus (the planet of love and beauty), they actually have far more in common, and thus a higher level of love compatibility, than one might think.

LIBRA-TAURUS COMPATIBILITY OVERVIEW

As far as love compatibility is concerned, some people see this as one of the more challenging Star Sign combinations, with one sign – Libra – belonging to the element of Air and the other – Taurus – belonging to the conflicting element of Earth. In reality though, it’s not necessarily as difficult as it might initially appear!

True, a fundamentally different approach to life – highly practical and self-contained in the case of Taurus – much more intellectual and people-oriented in the case of Libra – can give rise to some disagreements. Libra's constant weighing and balancing can be a source of irritation to the strong and silent Bull who never has a problem in making its mind up; in turn, Libra's compulsive need to talk things through can be frustrated by Taurus's uncommunicativeness.

But Libra and Taurus also have quite a lot in common. Both being ruled by Venus, they're linked by their shared love of beauty, harmony and creature comforts. In each other's company they have the ability to enjoy life to the full: from Taurus, Libra can learn to get in touch with its earthier, more sensual side, while Libra can teach Taurus to look beyond the physical and appreciate things from a loftier perspective.

LIBRA-TAURUS EMOTIONAL COMPATIBILITY

There’s an innate gentleness and softness about Libra and Taurus which makes for a sweet and harmonious emotional interaction. Due to their joint rulership by Venus, the planet of love, both signs are very affectionate by nature and both hate any kind of discord or unpleasantness, preferring to put up with just about anything rather than risk an ugly confrontation. As a result serious emotional issues may be covered up because Libra is too polite and Taurus too placid and stoical to broach them.

More honesty on the part of Libra and more emotional responsiveness on the part of Taurus will help to avoid minor differences building into something more major. In general, however, Taurus and Libra enjoy a high level of emotional compatibility.

LIBRA-TAURUS SEXUAL COMPATIBILITY

Sexually, Libra and Taurus are often particularly well matched, both being into the giving and receiving of pleasure and both being intensely romantic.

Okay, so Libra's indecisiveness can be a bit unsettling for Taurus, who is always looking for maximum security. In turn, Taurus's fixity and possessiveness can sometimes be a bit of an issue for Libra who likes to retain its social freedom. But given the strong feeling of affection between these two signs, these things are unlikely to be a problem, sexually speaking.


LIBRA-TAURUS MENTAL COMPATIBILITY

Because both these two detest arguments, they focus on cultivating a harmonious and peaceful way of communicating with each other. The fact that they’re also both good at keeping emotions out of discussions means they’re able to express themselves clearly and without confusion.

There is one important difference, however, between these two Star Signs’ mental styles, in that while Libra loves talking about concepts and theories, Taurus is much happier when discussing practical issues and strictly tangible things.

In order to expand its breadth of understanding and arrive at well balanced decisions, it’s important to Libra to be able to constantly bounce their thoughts off their Significant Other. Unfortunately Taurus isn’t a great deal of help in this respect. Intellectual debates hold no interest for the Bull, who considers too much thinking to be positively unhealthy and a poor substitute for just getting on with the nitty gritty of life!


LIBRA-TAURUS COMPATIBILITY CHALLENGES

The only real compatibility challenge in a Libra-Taurus relationship is that Taurus could, at the end of the day, be a little too earthy and prosaic for sophisticated Libra.

Earth Sign Taurus is basically a ‘do-er’ who likes getting on with practical things and isn’t particularly interested in company or conversation. Air Sign Libra is highly cultured, can be a bit work-shy, and loves talking to friends for hours and hours. Despite these contrasts, Libra and Taurus are amazingly tolerant of one another and if Libra thinks up the ideas and Taurus puts them into action, they can work well together as a team.
