The 5 Signs That Are the Worst Match for Taurus

From a strictly astrological perspective, there are a few signs that are the worst match for Taurus. Fixed, earthy, and ruled by Venus, Tauruses are steadfast, stubborn, and sensual. But which signs of the zodiac might struggle the most to understand and communicate with Taurus, the second zodiac sign represented by a bull?

Today, we’ll answer this very question. It’s important to keep in mind that every astrological match has potential, especially when you consider the entirety of your birth chart and important compatibility placements, like your Venus sign. But some zodiac signs may simply rub Taurus the wrong way, and vice versa! 

Before we discuss why certain signs don’t often match well with Taurus, let’s go over the basics of this sign’s personality first! 

All About Taurus, the Bull of the Zodiac

As the second sign of the zodiac, Tauruses represent the second astrological house known as the house of control and possessions. This placement lends Taurus both self-possession as well as the occasionally controlling instinct. Financial security and other physical objects are also themes found within this house. Every Taurus is aware of things that have monetary value, their own self-control, and more because of this connection.

These themes pair well with Taurus’s placement as an earth sign. Rooted in reality, earth signs are practical, no-nonsense individuals inspired by reality. Tauruses are also fixed, a modality placement known for reliable, dedicated characteristics. While Tauruses can be set in their ways and stubborn because of this, the patience and reliability of this zodiac sign are unmatched!

Venus is the final important aspect of Taurus to consider. Ruling Libra as well as the bull of the zodiac, Venus lends Taurus sensual, romantic, and creative traits. The average Taurus enjoys experiencing the world with all of their senses, using their work ethic and understanding of finances to indulge in a lavish, elegant lifestyle!

The 5 Signs That Are the Worst Match for Taurus

While relationship dynamics outside of astrology should always be considered, you may be wondering which zodiac signs need to work the hardest to be compatible with Taurus. Here are some signs often cited as the worst astrological matches for the zodiac’s bull!

1. Sagittarius

While a deeply rooted respect may keep Taurus and Sagittarius intrigued about one another, these two signs can struggle to see eye to eye. Fixed earth meets mutable fire in this pair, the definition of opposites attract. However, both Taurus and Sagittarius value and seek different things out of life, and on fundamental, often unchangeable, levels.

Sagittarians are connected to Jupiter and the ninth house, things that represent expansion, philosophical inclinations, and adventure. This fire sign is adaptable and energetic, constantly seeking new, exciting opportunities. Tauruses may appreciate this about Sagittarians, but this fixed earth sign needs stability from their romantic partner. These two signs will often cross wires in terms of their basic needs, communication, stubbornness, and freedom! 

2. Aquarius

While stability is something Aquarius can offer Taurus, this fixed air sign is often just as stubborn as the bull. Ruled by both Saturn and Uranus and connected to the eleventh house of friendship, Aquarians are incredibly unique zodiac signs. Their respect for tradition and pragmaticism will draw Taurus to Aquarius, but the innovative water bearer of the zodiac will struggle should Taurus try to control them.

Fixed sign matches often argue over themes of control. While cerebral conversations and museum dates will spark a connection between Taurus and Aquarius, these two signs may not last forever. Aquarians are sociable and may not offer Taurus the clear boundaries this earth sign needs. And Tauruses may prefer routine, daily affairs over Aquarius’s preference for spontaneity!

3. Aries

Taurus may find the average Aries attractive, given their placements within the zodiac. Signs that are side by side tend to be curious about one another, and this can certainly be said about the first and second signs of the zodiac. But cardinal fire and fixed earth can struggle to get along, especially when we consider the shared stubbornness of both Aries and Taurus.

Taurus and Aries may find compromise difficult, especially surrounding their mutual need for independence. Both of these signs don’t enjoy being told what to do, so much so that it could spell the end of their romance should either Taurus or Aries attempt to influence the other!

4. Scorpio

In astrology, oppositional zodiac signs tend to align well with their foundational needs and motivations in life. However, they take very different paths to achieve their goals and desires, something that can certainly be said about Taurus and Scorpio. Earth and water pairings are mutually beneficial, but the shared modality of Scorpio and Taurus can prove difficult.

Ruled by Mars and Pluto, Scorpios are intense, passionate individuals who will appreciate the sensual stability of Taurus. But both of these zodiac signs represent control in different ways. Scorpio and Taurus will need to compromise more than the average astrological pair, something that could prove difficult for these tenacious signs!

5. Libra

Taurus and Libra may begin their match peacefully, as this is one of Libra’s favorite words. Plus, these zodiac signs are both ruled by Venus. This helps Taurus and Libra find things in common as well as prioritize similar themes of indulgence, the arts, and more in their partnership. But is this enough for Taurus and Libra to stay together?

Ultimately, Libra and Taurus tend to make better friends. Astrologically speaking, these zodiac signs may have very different communication styles given their earth-air placements. Tauruses may also want more stability and promise from Libra, something this judicious air sign won’t readily offer without a great deal of debate!
