You are both lovers of peace and harmony,
and avoid conflict and tension as much as possible. There is a cordial,
soft quality to your relationship that makes it very pleasant, and these
qualities draw many friends and acquaintances to you as well. Beneath
the smooth facade, however, you do have your differences! Very often
Libra is more socially oriented and communicative, while Taurus is too
busy with interests, hobbies, or work and is not willing to join Libra
in conversation, social activity, or entertainment. Taurus needs to be
less inflexible at times. Also, aesthetics are very important to both of
you, and you probably disagree on matters of style from time to time.
Harmony, pleasantness, and peace in your
home life and personal relationships is so important to both of you that
you'll ignore or cover up the conflicts and differences that exist
between you. Both of you are very uncomfortable expressing anger and
afraid of creating upheaval. As the song goes, "you'd do anything
to avoid a fight"! Of course, Libra's innate diplomacy and
courtesy, and Taurus' slowness to take offence go a long way toward
keeping your relationship smooth, but there are times when you need to
look plainly at the problems, or you are bound to experience
dissatisfactions at times. For instance, one area that might be a
problem is that Libra enjoys and needs a lot more verbal communication
than Taurus is inclined to, and Libra may feel unhappy or neglected
unless there is a running conversation going on. Also, Taurus is more
prosaic and once a relationship is comfortably established, may take it
for granted, whereas Libra wants romantic gestures and a certain style
or elegance in order to stay interested in the relationship.
Taurus tastes are simpler, and Libra has
more of an interest in art, literature, theatre, culture, etc. than
Taurus does.
These problems certainly do not need to
become major ones, but you should acknowledge your differences and
confront your problems when they arise.
Although there is a great deal of
fascination, curiosity, and attraction between you, there is also a lack
of stability and peace. You react to each other very impulsively. Your
feelings for each other blow hot and cold. It may seem like you are
either making love or arguing with each other, going from one extreme to
another. This relationship could easily turn into a love/hate
relationship, where you simultaneously feel irresistibly drawn to each
other, but you also irritate each other and make each other feel very
uncomfortable. To make this relationship work, you both must be very
flexible, tolerant of shortcomings in each other, adaptable to the
constant changes and upsets, and enjoy excitement, novelty, and
surprises. In this relationship there is never a dull moment!
The physical and sexual attraction
between you is strong, but the tendency to frustrate each other and
rouse each other's wrath is equally strong. Although the attraction
between you is powerful, you should think carefully before making a
long-term commitment, because the tendency to argue and nag each other
is an undesirable side to this relationship that both of you will need
to content with. The sexual aspect of your relationship has an almost
aggressive quality to it. Try not to be too pushy or demanding with each
other, as this quickly precipitates arguments and hostile feelings.
At times, sex may be an off and on
phenomenon. Intense one minute, boring the next. Libra loves new
excitement and change. Taurus prefers stamina and stability, the old
routine. Libra hates possessiveness.
Romantic illusions and fantasies, erotic
imagination and dreams of perfect Love all play a crucial role in your
relationship. To avoid being severely disappointed and disillusioned, it
would be good to recognize from the start that your partner is not a
Goddess or God, is not meant to rescue or save you from your problems,
and is, in fact, a lot less perfect than you believe! More likely
possibilities, such as pretending to be something that you are not, or
trying to rescue your partner from his or her own predicaments, can be
equally trouble-producing. Either or both of you are apt to feel you
were seduced or lured into the relationship under false pretences, but
probably you simply fooled yourselves!
If you are willing to accept the less
than beautiful and ideal aspect of one another, an authentic
relationship based on compassion as well as eroticism can evolve. If you
can't do this, the more tragic implications of the phrase "love is
blind" will certainly become clear to you both in time.
