When Taurus and Libra come together in a love affair, it can be the unification of two halves of a whole.
These two signs are considered to be karmically linked. Both are looking for security in a relationship and share a love of art, poetry and culture. This relationship may start slowly as, on the surface, they may have few interests in common. However, once they understand each other, they may learn that they have much more in common than first appeared.
Taurus and Libra have such a love of the arts. They enjoy fine dining and theater, collecting art and music. Pleasure - physical, aesthetic - is at a premium for these two signs. They both love courting and being courted, courtship is a necessary part of any romantic relationship for them and, as they both have this need, they fit well together. Taurus appreciates Libra's charm, diplomatic Libra is able to smooth things over and keep the peace. Libra appreciates the luxuries that sensual Taurus provides. They also have a lot to teach each other: Libra can help Taurus see the different sides of a situation, and Taurus can help Libra overcome her notorious indecisiveness.
Both Taurus and Libra are ruled by the Planet Venus (Love and Money). These partners share a love of beauty, luxury, love and romance. Libra, in particular, is interested in balance, both partners have charming personalities and desire harmony in their personal relationships. The influence of Venus can also create problems. These two signs can both tend towards laziness and snobbery, the Taurean based on possessions and the Libran based on intellect.
Taurus is an earth sign and Libra is an air sign. Taurus spends its life relying on its innate practicality, while Libra depends on intellectual exploration. Taurus asks: "How will this help me achieve my goals in life?" Libra, on the other hand, focuses on intellectual stimuli, whether practical or not. Conflicts can arise in this relationship if Taurus seems too possessive or Libra seems too flirtatious and social. Sometimes they simply don't understand where the other is coming from. If they want the relationship to last, they must learn to accept that their views of the world are different in tone and focus.
Taurus is a fixed sign and Libra is a cardinal sign. In general, in this relationship, Libra initiates and Taurus continues. A Fixed Sign won't give in, and Libra needs to understand Taurus' stubborn tendency. With some gentle persuasion, anything is possible - and there is no Sign more gifted in soft, subtle persuasion and charm than Libra. On the other hand, Libra's indecisiveness can irritate Taurus. As long as Taurus mitigates the tendency to declare that their way is the only acceptable way to do or see something, Libra can accept Taurus' decisions.
What is the best aspect of the Taurus-Libra relationship? Their shared love of pleasure, beauty and culture. Aesthetics are an integral part of both partners, and their similar tastes and loves make for a relationship of great romance and harmony.
