Would Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Oprah Winfrey make a good couple? While they’re some of the most famous TV personalities on this planet, they’re also the most famous Taurus and Aquarius, respectively. While The Rock and Oprah could certainly hit it off, whether their signs allow them to stay together is another question.
What are Taurus and Aquarius Personality Traits?
A Taurus has the bull symbol for a reason. They’re strong and steady, ambitious and reliable. Sometimes, though, they can be stubborn, digging their heels into conversation and ideology and becoming the person whose mind you can’t change.
When they’re not hard-headed, Taurus’s are down to earth and grounded people. They’re known as the stabilizer of the zodiacs for a reason. A Taurus’ pragmatism and reliability make them great lifelong friends.
Aquarius’s are quite the opposite. Aquarius’s can be just as driven as Taurus’s, with their intellectual curiosity moving them from interest to interest. When Taurus’s remain firm and unchanging in their moods, however, an Aquarius can go through dozens of mood swings a day.
Friendly and inventive, the Aquarius catches themselves hopping between social events to find a new group of friends or a cool new experience. They can sometimes be unpredictable, but they make up for it with the hilarious stories they can tell.
What Are the Easy and Hard Parts of a Taurus and Aquarius Relationship?
The Taurus gets a temper sometimes. The Aquarius keeps a level head in pretty much any situation. Their temperaments balance each other in arguments, as the Aquarius can quickly calm down the Taurus. Conversely, the Taurus’ patient nature allows them to draw out what’s bothering the Aquarius when they give their classic non-communicative “I’m fine.”
Aquarius’s and Taurus’s are also emotionally and financially independent. They’re fine splitting restaurant bills and buying their own drinks at the bar. They won’t need to constantly talk about their emotions or get overly mushy with their partner. Both the Taurus and Aquarius reserve their emotions for the private spheres and prefer to show how they feel, not tell.
Taurus’s like structure and order. They like knowing what they’ve known for a while and don’t like their worlds shaken. Aquarius’s are constantly challenging their worldview by gathering new experiences and talking to different people.
So, when the Taurus becomes stubborn and traditional, the Aquarius might not be able to empathize with where the Taurus is coming from and vice versa. If both remain steadfast in their ways, the relationship will come to a halt.
The Taurus may grow tired with the Aquarius’s unpredictability. While the Taurus may want to keep to a routine, the Aquarius will want to change up their eating and travel habits to get a new experience.
Both the Taurus and Aquarius can wear the other down when it comes to how to spend Friday nights. Such a problem can become the basis for many more unspoken relationship issues piling up on each other.
What Are the Pros and Cons of a Taurus Aquarius Relationship?
One pro is that the Taurus and Aquarius are deeply committed signs. The Taurus’s stable nature lends itself well to monogamy. While the Aquarius is flighty and unpredictably, they like knowing that they have a consistent partner to come back to each night.
Because of their value in commitment, neither a Taurus or an Aquarius is likely to be unfaithful or hurt their partner. They’ll put effort into creating a lasting, enriching relationship. Both prefer to stay away from pointless conflicts and, both try to solve problems as quickly as possible.
Not all can be good, though. Taurus’s gravitate toward material things. They like looking fancy, with flashy gadgets and clothing signifying wealth. As a result, the Taurus may prefer to give or receive gifts as their ultimate form of communicating love.
The Aquarius, though, with their head constantly in the clouds, will reject the Taurus’s materialism. To an Aquarius, a gadget or nice article of clothing is just a thing, and things cannot build memories or edify a person’s character. Vibrant experiences do that, so an Aquarius will prioritize enriching experiences over accumulating material possessions.
The Aquarius will want to be told they’re loved through letters or nice speeches. They’ll want to hold their partner and express physical affection. They’ll want the Taurus to do nice gestures, such as doing the dishes or buying the Aquarius food, to show that the Taurus cares. Buying a gift can’t express what the Aquarius wants to hear.
Through their materialistic and experiential preferences, the Taurus and Aquarius may find themselves slowly isolating themselves from each other. If neither communicates what they want to tell the other — in a way that will prompt the other person to listen — the Aquarius and Taurus relationship can devolve into endless fighting, questioning, and resentment.
How Can a Taurus and Aquarius Communicate?
The Taurus likes keeping things real. They have no time to entertain the Aquarius’s lofty goals or niche interest. The Taurus can also be callous with their words sometimes, so the Taurus can accidentally hurt the Aquarius when the Taurus is in a bad mood.
In turn, the Aquarius can use their detached, aloof exterior to hurt the Taurus too. Aquarius’s have a habit of quickly falling in love with someone, waiting for the other person to get feelings for the Aquarius, then dropping the relationship right as the other person gets emotionally invested. Call it love avoidance or the classic Aquarius personality traits striking again.
Whatever the case is, communication issues between the Taurus and Aquarius could lead to an unhealthy relationship or the relationship stopping before it ever started. Both cases prevent the Aquarius and Taurus from overcoming themselves and accepting the other’s strength and flaws.
For the relationship to last, both the Aquarius and Taurus have to learn how to talk to each other.
The Taurus must learn to bite their tongue and pause before speaking. Once they’ve trained themselves to think before what they say, they’ll avoid hurting the Aquarius’s feelings. The Taurus should also learn to recognize when they’re stubborn and allow themselves to listen to their partner.
The Aquarius should learn to notice when they become distant and why. Are they afraid of getting too emotionally involved in the relationship only to have it hurt them? Are they afraid of vulnerability with their Taurus partner? Once the Aquarius learns that all good relationships involve the risk of getting hurt, the Aquarius can let the relationship flourish.
The Aquarius should also remember that the Taurus is prone to being stuck in their ways and shouldn’t take it personally. With enough dedication, both parties can see eye to eye on a variety of controversial issues.
How do Taurus and Aquarius Connect?
When they first meet, the Aquarius and Taurus will most likely think the other is crazy or boring, depending on what context they meet each other in.
The Aquarius and Taurus will be polite to each other; they’ll engage in small talk at a party or office gathering. But they’ll soon realize they have nothing in common and see life in very different ways. They might seem like they should remain strangers or acquaintances based on how differently they perceive the world.
A Taurus and Aquarius, however, can grow each other in ways neither thought possible. The Aquarius sits at the edge of the Taurus’s comfort zone and vice versa. It takes both of them realizing the potential growth the other can cause to get the romantic or platonic relationship rolling.
An Aquarius can help the Taurus realize that there’s more to life than the plan they conjured up when they were fifteen. Unpredictability (the Aquarius specialty) can make life more interesting and less like a rut.
The Taurus can teach the Aquarius to slow down and stop jumping between wild interest or chasing exotic life experiences. Sometimes the most educational life experiences can happen in the most boring town in Nowhere America. The Aquarius just has to stop and remember that habit has its merits just like the vagabond lifestyle has its merits too.
For a connection to form, the Taurus and Aquarius must first realize that they are incomplete and that the other provides puzzle pieces to fill in the gaps of their personality, worldview, or general life. Once the Taurus realizes the Aquarius is important and vice versa, the relationship connection will naturally follow.
Can a Taurus and Aquarius Last Together?
In a perfect world, Oprah and The Rock can get together. Their differences as an Aquarius and Taurus won’t spoil their relationship, though it will put the other off from the other among first meeting.
Once they realize that the other isn’t so different from them, the Aquarius and Taurus can build their relationship off mutual characteristics like independence and loyalty while consolidating their other personality characteristics.
A Taurus and Aquarius might not seem like the best relationship on the zodiac chart, but, if they get it right, their relationship can be most satisfying. Don’t be afraid to try!
