Aquarius can steer the relationship forward, which Taurus needs. While Taurus is loyal to a fault, they’re also cautious, slow-moving, and even lazy at times when it comes to relationships. Because of this, Taurus needs a partner who can step up and keep things moving—and this is where the more fast-paced Aquarius can excel.
- Taurus will appreciate Aquarius’s ability to progress the relationship, as well as Aquarius’s directness. Taurus hates jumping through hoops for a relationship, and thankfully, Aquarius won’t make them.
While Taurus instinctively shies away from change to the point that they can become stagnant, they’re a smart sign who appreciates learning new things—and Aquarius can show Taurus a whole new world. Aquarius’s sharp mind and plentiful knowledge will impress Taurus, and their curiosity will motivate Taurus to get outside their comfort zone.

Aquarius is a visionary, and Taurus will admire their humanistic ideals. While Taurus is more materialistic than Aquarius, they can appreciate Aquarius’s desire to help the whole world (and not just their immediate social circle). As a helpful and compassionate sign, Taurus will be inspired by Aquarius’s lofty goals, and lend their help in accomplishing them. ^{[2]

1
Both signs are fixed, and therefore known for their stubbornness. Fixed zodiac signs are the most driven of the zodiac—once they commit to something, they see it through to the end. Unfortunately, fixed signs are also stubborn! Taurus is thick-skinned and set in their ways, while intellectual Aquarius can be a know-it-all.
- Compromise is the key to making their relationship work. These signs can share a loving relationship if they learn to respect one another’s perspective and hear each other out before passing judgment.
2
When they work together, they’re a force to be reckoned with. Aquarius is the creative dreamer of the pair, while Taurus is the hard worker. With Aquarius offering up outside-the-box ideas and Taurus using their practical planning skills to see those ideas through, there’s nothing they can’t achieve together.
- They also work well as a long-term pair if Taurus handles the day-to-day matters and Aquarius focuses on the big picture.
- Taurus loves to support their partner in practical ways, so they’ll be all too willing to help Aquarius make their dreams come true.
3
These signs must be honest about their relationship expectations. Aquarius needs a ton of space and freedom, making Taurus jealous. Aquarius’s unpredictability will also bother Taurus, who craves a stable relationship. This can make trust difficult for the pair to maintain.
- However, these signs can find common ground when Taurus learns to forgive and stop controlling Aquarius, and Aquarius makes an effort to connect and empathize with Taurus.
4
Aquarius likes to blend friendship and romance, and so does Taurus. Friendship is highly important to both signs, and they typically develop romantic feelings for someone they’re already comfortable around. As such, both signs will immediately understand the other—and their friendship can lead to a vibrant, passionate relationship.
- When an Aquarius is crushing on a Taurus (or vice versa), leaning into the friendship can help seal the deal. Tauruses want to be with someone they’re already comfortable around, and the same goes for Aquarius!
5
Taurus and Aquarius can keep one another balanced. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, pleasure, and passion. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of change and progress. ^{[3]

- Their values and attitudes are very different—Aquarius is detached and analytical, while Taurus is down-to-earth and materialistic.
