While Sagittarius thrives on variety,
travel, socializing, and exploring, Taurus is often content to plug away
at the same thing day after day, until it nearly drives Sagittarius
crazy! In some ways, you are the "odd couple" with opposite
traits. Although it is nice to think that your opposite natures can
complement each other, the truth is that you may also need to do many
things separately in order to be happy with each other, because
Sagittarius is likely to become bored by Taurus' routine and Taurus is
likely to feel very distracted and unsettled from Sagittarius'
wide-ranging interests. If you can appreciate and understand each other,
you can help add balance to your lives.
You have very different, and often
conflicting, emotional needs and yearnings. Sagittarius is expansive,
craves adventure, and wants to be where the energy and action is.
Sagittarius' curiosity and quest for growth, knowledge, or new
experiences creates a strong urge for travel or changes in residence.
Taurus, on the other hand, is very attached to the familiar, and prefers
a steady routine, domestic peace and stability. Taurus is very slow and
resistant to changes in home life or personal relationships, and may
feel threatened by Sagittarius' restlessness.
Also, Sagittarius is an idealist with
great hopes and plans for the future, while Taurus lives primarily in
the present and is more involved with immediate, tangible concerns.
Sagittarius may feel that Taurus doesn't understand or appreciate
Sagittarius' dreams, and that Taurus stifles Sagittarius' enthusiasm
with an insistence on realism and practicality.
Taurus may feel that Sagittarius lives in
an unreal world, ignores the facts at hand, and leaves Taurus to take
care of the work and business of day to day life.
However, you both have an essentially
generous, live-and-let-live attitude which may enable you to overlook
the differences between you.
This is a relationship that is sparked by
an irresistible sexual attraction and romantic desire. Your passion and
desire for one another will always remain alive.
This is likely to be a stormy and fiery
relationship. The romantic attraction between you is very strong, but
your feelings are often not in tune with each other. One of you
(typically Sagittarius but sometimes Taurus) may feel sexually aroused
by the other and consequently be too aggressive in approach, while the
other person feels great love and affection, but is not feeling as
sexually attracted. Jealousy and possessiveness are also likely.
Feelings can swing back and forth and you may not realize how much you
love each other until you are away from each other.
Full sexual expression may be difficult
at times. Avoid questioning your overall performance, you may kill
spontaneity between the both of you. Power struggles, emotional or
sexual manipulation and disruptive jealousy may also be an ongoing
problem.
Throughout your relationship, there will
be unusual events, sudden turnabouts, unexpected intrusions, and
surprises, which may prevent you from following through on some of your
joint plans or settling into a steady, reliable pattern with one
another. There may be a disjointed, unnerving sense of uncertainty, but
if you are both fairly adaptable and open, you may be able to ride
through the ups and downs. A sense of humor will be a requirement!
If one of you becomes restless, it is
important to be absolutely truthful and up-front about the changes you
want to make, rather than becoming unreliable and acting out
erratically. You may find to your surprise that the other person is
restless too, and willing to try something radically different.
You won't be able to avoid change in this
relationship; how you deal with it will determine the success of your
togetherness.
A need for solitude and withdrawal, for
removing yourselves from the clamor of day to day duties and
responsibilities, will be an important aspect of your relationship. You
may wish to take very quiet times by yourselves, or even separately from
time to time. If you resist this need, eventually one or both of you
will simply feel lonely even in one another's company.
