What they find in each other
On paper there’s not much here. Earth and fire, slow and quick, these two are five signs apart and speak quite differently. What they do share is an unfussy love of life’s pleasures. Taurus likes food and Sagittarius likes a good time, and neither one is an ascetic. They can laugh a great deal together, usually about how differently they’ve approached the same vacation.
Sagittarius gives Taurus a bigger map. A Taurus might never have gone to that country or read that book without someone waving it at them. Taurus gives Sagittarius an address, and for someone who has moved a lot, having a person and a place that hold still can come as a surprise.
Being tied down, being left
Sagittarius says “let’s move to Lisbon” and means it for about a two weeks. Taurus takes it seriously, gets worried, and starts thinking about the mortgage. Taurus says “we’re going to my mother’s on Sunday, like always”, and Sagittarius feels a door closing. Each can read the other’s nature as criticism: you’re boring, you’re unreliable.
Money gets caught in this as well. Sagittarius is generous and optimistic about what the future holds, and Taurus has seen the future and would like to have something put away for it. And Sagittarius’s habit of telling blunt truths can land hard on a Taurus, who won’t reply and won’t forget.
Arranging for both
Treat travel as something Sagittarius can do without Taurus being expected to come along every time, and treat home as something Sagittarius can come back to without being scolded. A trip that Taurus helps plan, with one very good hotel at the end, might suit you both. A savings pot marked “adventures” tends to end a lot of arguments before they start.
Two people who are this different can find they’re close once you look past the Suns, or they can find that they aren’t. Our guide to reading a synastry chart lays out where to start.
