Between the two of them, Taurus and Leo will never let the romance die.

As a fixed sign, Taurus is persistent and determined.

When faced with a circumstance that demands change, a typical Taurus will fight to the end of his strength to prevent the change, even when it's futile to resist.

As an earth sign, Taurus has a double-dose of this stubborn trait and a refusal to accept change.

Fortunately, Taurus is usually in search of his one true love.

Taurus is motivated by the accumulation of money, but his heart is always focused on true love.

Many people may not realize how obsessed Taurus can become over love, and they often underestimate the Taurean trait of jealousy.

If you know only one Taurean trait, chances are you believe Taurus has a love affair with money.

While in some cases this may be true, chances are it's just a matter of Taurus understanding his relationship with money and getting the things he wants out of life.

Taurus's preoccupation with money is compulsory since this sun sign rules the second house of the zodiac wheel, which is the house of finances.

Along with his appreciation for art, Taurus has a very critical eye.

Try not to take it personally, it's his nature to glimpse that every act is an art form and, like his fellow earth sign Virgo, Taurus has an idea how that act should be performed in order to make it perfect.

Taurus needs to constantly remind himself that he's far from perfect.

Taurus finds validation and comfort in the accumulation of material possessions.

If your Taurus is in a competitive sport or another career that wins him awards, he's sure to have a room dedicated to holding all of his trophies.

Taurus has many redeeming qualities such as loyalty to his mate and being generous with his money and possessions.

Taurus will appreciate Capricorn's attention to detail and down-to-earth approach with the household budget.

Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn are three signs of the zodiac that are earth signs.

Those born under the Virgosection of the zodiac are most compatible with fellow earth signsTaurusand Capricorn, as well as the water signs of Cancer and Scorpio.

Taurus and Scorpio relationships represent one of the more optimistic matches within the zodiac.

Scorpio and Taurus are governed by relatively harmonious elemental energies, so the good news is that the fundamentals are in place for a triumphant relationship.

Moreover, of the earth signs, Taurus' triplicity is of the fixed nature.

This makes Taurus the most grounded of all the earth signs, which is a double power because earth is already the most grounded of the elements.

Taurus' stable condition can be a boon in such a highly mutable world, but naturally, every good point is matched by its negative potential.

The same energy that serves to make Taurus so stable also results in a very immovable personality.

However, Scorpio's triplicity is also fixed like Taurus.

Taurus is typically too stable for depression.

The pragmatic nature of a typical Taurus doesn't see much use for this level of introspection; after all, there is work to be done.

Scorpio, on the other hand, may not relate to Taurus' practicality.

He cannot understand why Taurus doesn't like to really think about things.

Taurus seems almost lazy in his thought processes.

Taurus is stable, and Scorpio needs a firm foundation in order to maintain his spirits.

Taurus thrives on stability, but the introspective nature of a Scorpio serves to bring some excitement into the mix.

Whereas a fire sign would simply exhaust the average Taurus, Scorpio's emotional response to life can provide just enough action to keep the days interesting.

If Taurus or Scorpio rests in several of the major planets such as the sun, moon, Mars and Venus, this can make for a fairly dominant chart.

If you are truly serious about using astrological principles to determine the compatibility rate of Taurus and Scorpio relationships, consult a professional astrologer who is familiar with chart nuances.

Scorpio and Taurus arguments, from an astrological perspective, may be the result of the deeply rooted and immovable nature of both these signs.

Fortunately, Scorpio and Taurus do not represent a difficult match.

In fact, the Scorpio and Taurus combination represents one of the more positive zodiac unions since water and earth signs are generally compatible.

So, when it comes to exploring the issues that provoke Scorpio and Taurus arguments, an understanding of astrological energies and also a wider view of the natal chart process is needed.

However, there is more than just an earth and water match at play in a Scorpio and a Taurus.
