If Taurus/Sagittarius was a Sci Fi movie they’d be cast as two very different species from two very different planets. It doesn’t mean the relationship won’t work – think Spock and Captain Kirk – it’s just that they must learn to appreciate each other’s talents.
On one hand, you’ve got Sagittarius – a worldly traveler who’s willing to sleep by the side of the road and on the other – Taurus – a five-star hotel dweller with a meticulously planned itinerary. Lots of work is needed around the arts of compromise and mutual respect. Set phasers to stun and hope for the best!
Decoding Taurus and Sagittarius friendships…
More likely to be acquaintances rather than best friends – they tend to slip in and out of each other’s lives knowing that familiarity breeds contempt. When Sagittarius needs someone reliable to help with moving house or doing their taxes Taurus is called upon and when the Bull craves comedy and storytelling they seek out the Archer. “I really like them but I couldn’t live that way” is a common refrain from both signs.
Sporting tragics they get together to either play or watch – although Taurus is more team sports with a ball and Sagittarius – athletics with an injection of speed. It’s the mental toughness and strategic planning that really fires their brains and friendship – these guys truly are sideline experts.
Taurus/Sagittarius often remain on the periphery of a friendship group for a lifetime – conscious of not treading on each other’s toes but enjoying annual grand slam catchups and major events such as weddings, 21sts and high school reunions.
First signs of attraction & compatibility…
For Sagittarius, it might start as a one-night stand – they’ll know full well that anything permanent is out of the questions and if Taurus is having a moment of weakness or suitably inebriated – anything could happen. Maybe that’s how they start to get under each other’s skin – as casual partners.
Taurus likes the feeling of doing something that’s a bit naughty and Sagittarius sees a challenge in cracking that gruff exterior. Sag makes Taurus laugh – God knows they need to do it more often – and Taurus possesses challenging opinions for the philosophical Archer to consider.
The Taurus and Sagittarius in relationships…
Sometimes friends aren’t sure if this relationship exists because the couple in question spend so much time apart and attend more events solo than together. Often Sagittarius has a job that requires them to be in another state or country – think Sailor, Athlete or Pilot whilst Taurus keeps the home fires burning and works locally.
Taurus in particular needs to be very secure about the relationship as Sagittarius does have an “out of sight, out of mind” mentality – the Archer should work on giving lots of reassurance and impulse control. When the pairing works well Sagittarius loves returning to “home” with Taurus and makes their time together extra special with lavish gifts and red-hot dates.
Taurus is a fixed sign – they know what they like and don’t want to step out of that familiar comfort zone. Sagittarius is mutable – constantly changeable and willing to learn through failure. In a relationship Taurus must allow the Archer to crash and burn and Sagittarius needs to respect the Bulls’ natural resistance to change.
Where they may encounter turbulence…
Taurus stubbornness drives Sag to distraction – at times they feel like it’s just too much effort to achieve the smallest of compromises. That’s when they become bored and restless, throw their arms in the air and get on the next train out of town.
Sagittarius is the zodiac king of comedy and uses humor in just about every situation known to mankind – during sex, stress, happiness and occasional sadness. Taurus finds this superficial and flippant – especially when they are trying to discuss a serious matter – that’s when the Bull shuts down and thinks “Well what’s the use…”
When Taurus and Sagittarius fall in love…
Taurus is ruled by the earth element, meaning it’s all about order and security – and building a relationship from the ground up – then air sign, Sagittarius comes along – blows hot and cold – and totally disrupt the Bulls timeline.
Fire sign Taurus often becomes anxious when dating the Archer – it’s like that second bottle of wine – they know they shouldn’t go there but God it feels good. Alternatively, in the early stages Sag is happier than usual – and for a normally blissed out sign this level of joy can be a bit much to bear – especially to friends who just can’t see how the relationship is going to work.
Taurus and Sagittarius sexual compatibility…
Here’s where they actually click – sex is the glue that makes the relationship work. Sagittarius keeps things light and joyful in the bedroom – they may also throw in a few ancient maneuvers learnt when living with a forgotten Amazon tribe.
Taurus craves intimacy but likes Sags playfulness which diminishes performance anxiety and allows a good time to be had by all. The ancient maneuvers need to be introduced incrementally – but a relaxed Taurus is always more open to change and risk taking.
Taurus and Sagittarius marriage compatibility…
Taurus is Captain of this ship – Sag won’t have any idea about the boundaries, rules and conventions of Marriage. The Bull proposes and if the Archer- in a moment of craziness accepts this couple needs to discuss everything – children, work, living arrangements, holidays, money – absolutely everything so there are no surprises later on.
Sagittarius isn’t keen on children but if Taurus is prepared to be the primary parent and homemaker then a compromise can be struck. Where Sag has a career or interests that satisfy their compulsive wanderlust time spent at home is quality – sprinkled with laughter, storytelling and lots of physical activities. Taurus must remember to count Sag as an extra child!
