Taurus women are a unique offering among all of the zodiac women. More than almost any of the other signs, Taurus women tend to be steady, stoic, and nearly masculine – at least from an emotional standpoint. They’re secure and easy to get along with, though their predisposition to anger is their one biggest weakness.
The Taurus Woman
Taurus women are much like the bull they represent. As a general rule, they’re reliable, dependable, and admirable. However, their temper tends to turn on a dime when they’re too annoyed. This can be a hazard to anyone with a sensitivity to anger and harsh feelings.
Taurus women are relatively easy to get along with. They’re generally quite laid back, and while they don’t have a temper, for most female Taurus, it stays under wraps most of the time. Taurus usually do well with most of the signs, but some signs just tend to push their buttons too much and bring out their worst side.
A Taurus woman craves stability. As her earth sign suggests, she likes balance and strength. She wants to set down roots and start a family; she loves to have other people, especially that family, depending on her physique.
However, there are several things that she expects to gain in return for that. A Taurus woman wants to be romanced and treasured. If the other person doesn’t want to treat her that way, she won’t be receptive to their advances. A Taurus woman isn’t necessarily hard to woo, but she’s very aware of what she wants, too.
While a Taurus woman has a few drawbacks that should not be overlooked, they have a lot to bring to the table, too. As long as their mate is careful to avoid their triggers and work around their more angry habits, both parties will be able to enjoy the stability that a Taurus woman can offer.
Taurus-Taurus Compatibility
Taurus with Taurus is one of the most compatible setups for a Taurus woman. Taurus both offer and crave stability, so they can be of mutual help to each other. They’re both traditional, secure, and dependable, and both Taurus’ are loyal to a fault. They make excellent pairs for each other.
However, as is always the case when you put two of the same sign together, they tend to exacerbate each others’ problems, too. If one Taurus gets on the other’s nerves, they’re less likely to resolve their anger and more likely to escalate it.
That being said, though, a Taurus-Taurus relationship has a lot of things that can go for it. The main problem for the two to overcome is to make sure they keep each others’ emotions in mind. Taurus isn’t great at dealing with emotions, especially anger, but as long as they make a special effort to keep them in mind, they can make it work (and work well, at that).
The dependability of a Taurus is one of their best traits. As such, a Taurus-Taurus relationship is one of the most likely to stand the test of time, even if they have some difficulties in their way.
The problem with a Taurus-Taurus relationship is that both Taurus have incredibly strong wills. If they disagree over an issue, it’ll be a while until one of them capitulates, and they can come to an agreeable conclusion. As before, the problem is making sure that both Taurus can eventually reach a mutually agreed-upon conclusion, which may require some compromise. Compromise is not Taurus’ strong suit!
Taurus-Virgo Compatibility
Another excellent combination for a Taurus woman is a Virgo man. Virgos tend to be somewhat reserved, but they are a mutable Earth element to Taurus’ fixed Earth element. This automatically makes Virgo much more flexible than Taurus.
While Virgo is often considered a feminine sign, in actuality, this makes it an excellent pairing with a Taurus woman. Because Taurus women tend to be fairly masculine, the slightly feminine Virgo makes a worthy counterpart to that.
However, as with anything of this nature, whether a Virgo male is a good match for a given Taurus female depends on the one in question. Since the feminine nature of a Virgo can clash with someone of the male gender, it depends on how “in-tune” they are with their sign.
However, as a general rule, Virgos provide an excellent counterbalance to Taurus’ masculinity. Virgos are generally a bit more unsure of themselves than Taurus, who tend to be very confident. However, Virgos are more in touch with their emotions (though not by much), and they’re excellent for calming down the female Taurus when she gets too caught up in her anger.
Taurus-Scorpio Compatibility
If you know anything about horoscopes, you know that Scorpios tend to be challenging to get along with. They can be jealous, possessive, and non-demonstrative with their emotions. They’re not always good with communication, either. However, Scorpios have an undeniable allure and sexiness to them that few can deny.
Despite their bad rap, Scorpio men have several redeeming qualities, too. For one, Scorpio’s active and emotional mind is counterbalanced nicely by Taurus’ quiet, contemplative, matter-of-fact one. Additionally, while Scorpio can sometimes be on the jealous side, Taurus is generally even-keeled enough to talk it out and set some boundaries instead of fighting about it.
As long as the Taurus female is willing to deal with some of Scorpio’s more negative traits (which they usually are), things can go incredibly well between these two. It’s all about balancing out the other party’s more negative traits.
Taurus tends to be calm and agreeable, for the most part, but they don’t like to have to take control and lead unless they need to. This goes incredibly well with Scorpio’s intensity and innate desire to lead.
One of the foremost benefits of Scorpio and Taurus’ relationship is their mutual need for independence. Taurus needs her own order and space in order to be happy, and Scorpio needs the time and space to pursue his own activities and desires, as well.
Taurus and Cancer
Taurus and Cancer is another incredibly successful mix of zodiac signs, and it’s easy to tell why: Cancer, a cardinal water element, is an excellent counter to the fixed nature of Taurus’ Earth element. Where Taurus is inflexible, low-key, and reliable, Cancer is sensitive, spritely, and emotional.
As a general rule, a Cancer male goes excellently with a Taurus female for the same reasons as Virgo up above. The masculine nature of Taurus helps temper overly-feminine actions, while the sensitive nature of Cancer helps the male understand Taurus’ suppressed emotions.
Both Cancer and Taurus can be sensual and loving, but they help balance out what the other tends to lack. Cancer, on the one hand, tends to be romantic and emotional. Taurus, on the other hand, isn’t nearly as sensitive but has a stronger affinity with sexual actions. Together, the two signs work together to create a romantic yet still exciting relationship.
Matching With a Taurus Woman
As far as compatibility goes, Taurus is a somewhat unique case. They’re incredibly laid-back, confident, and secure in themselves, so they tend to balance out more of the extremes in many of the other signs. As such, Taurus doesn’t have very many truly bad matches when it comes to the star signs. However, when they find someone that they really just don’t get along with, it’ll be clear for everyone to see!
As such, Taurus women (and men, too) need to be careful with which partners they pick. It’s great to be flexible, of course, but when that flexibility is leading to a compromise on what you truly want, it can become an issue. This is less of a problem with women, but many Taurus are so laid back that they’ll get together with a partner only to discover later that you’re not as good a match as you thought.
As it happens, Taurus are pretty good at picking out and standing by what they’re looking for, and this is especially true for the female Taurus. It’s important that Taurus women keep a strong will about who they settle down with. It’s just fine to date so that you can figure out what you want, of course, but your instincts to put down roots and settle in will likely manifest in you eventually.
Of course, keep in mind that one person’s compatibility with another isn’t exclusively decided by their sun sign. Many other stars and planets play a role in each unique person’s compatibility, and it’s not always easy to define it by one celestial body. As such, one Taurus woman could, in theory, get along swimmingly with someone of an opposite sign. However, your sun sign compatibility is an excellent place to start!
Some of the other celestial bodies that can have influence over your compatibility include:
- The moon
- Mars
- Venus
- Rising signs
Taurus Woman Difficulties
The hardest part of matching as a Taurus woman will be communication. While Taurus aren’t the worst communicators, and you may or may not have a communicative edge as a female, they’re not the most eager of communicators. Taurus tend to prefer to let things work themselves out without their interference whenever possible.
Unfortunately, this can cause significant difficulties for Taurus, regardless of whether you’re male or female. The Taurus woman’s weakness is letting things build up until her emotions start to come into play. As long as she’s on top of these communication inconsistencies, nothing should become a significant issue; however, letting them build up could intentionally draw her ire and anger.
While Taurus women are easy to get along with, they don’t tend to be especially aware of others’ feelings. While this doesn’t usually cause issues, especially with casual acquaintances, people who are around Taurus for long enough to become friends will quickly figure out that Taurus isn’t all that bothered about what’s going on around them.
While this is typically an excellent quality to have in a friend, it can be a bit more complicated when looking for a life-long mate. A Taurus female either needs to locate someone who can open up to her about their emotions on their own terms, or Taurus needs to learn from some of the more sensitive emotions and start asking about how her partner is doing.
This isn’t a hard quality for the female Taurus to acquire. As a general rule, females are more sensitive to emotion and conflict than males, so the female Taurus has one up on her male counterpart with this. With a bit of practice and concern for her partner, a Taurus can overcome this hurdle in truly short order.
Of course, as we’ve mentioned, the ultimate problem for Taurus to overcome is her hot temper. Like above, Taurus women usually don’t have as many issues with their legendary tempers as Taurus males do, but they still shouldn’t neglect this side of their personality!
Fortunately, capable as Taurus is, this isn’t a difficult thing for her to do, either. Taurus is all about making those around her feel comfortable and happy, so it’s not hard to link the desire to keep her emotions under control to that.
Indeed, Taurus doesn’t have to fix their temper problems in order to build a successful relationship with their chosen sign. This might be an excellent step to take as a male Taurus, but most females should be perfectly fine just by learning to control their tempers.
The Best Match for a Taurus Woman
Surprisingly enough, with a bit of knowledge of her weaknesses, a Taurus female can be a strong, stalwart companion to almost any sign. They have a few signs that are typically a better initial fit than others, of course, but they can make something work with almost any of them.
The key to finding the best possible fit as a Taurus woman, of course, is to wait things out! Don’t jump into relations with people unless you’re absolutely positive they’re a good long-term fit. Of course, taking your time is your strength as a Taurus woman anyway, so you don’t have much to worry about!
