When it comes to their love lives, Taurus ascendants are not for games or drama. In fact, Renstrom tells mindbodygreen, “Nothing makes a Taurus grow faster than drama,” and while they’re not usually skeptical, they’ll have no problem cutting you off if you intrude on their comfort.

These people also tend to be very attractive, but they don’t know it. (Or if they do Know this, they’re modest about it.) Again, Tauruses have a gentle and comforting nature that makes them feel very safe when they’re around, Renstrom explains.

In terms of how they show love, he notes that the instinct to provide and shelter is very strong in these people. “And they want to be recognized and appreciated for it,” he adds.

Plus, they’ll probably show they care by doing things like cooking for you, buying you concert tickets, covering the tab at dinner, or of course, physically touching you. (That’s their earth energy for you.)

If you want to court them, it definitely won’t hurt if you get together – ruled by Venus means that Taurus loves beautiful things. They’re also culture vultures and will always be ready to check out a new, trendy spot in town, whether it’s a new restaurant or gallery opening.

For most Taurus ascendants, their fifth house of romance will be ruled by Virgo, the sign of service, commitment, and organization. On the other hand, their seventh house of long-term partnerships is ruled by Scorpio, a fixed sign associated with transformation, mystery and emotional depth.

However, they tend to be most compatible with the eastern signs of Scorpio, as well as other earth signs (Virgo, Capricorn, or another eastern Taurus). But to get a complete list of relationship compatibility, be sure to read the synastry table!
