Taurus Compatibility: How Taur the Bull Gets On With Every Star Sign

We asked Taur the Bull, the Taurus Astrominal (20 April – 20 May), how he gets on with the other signs. He said he’d think about it. Three weeks later he sent this, along with a list of snacks he’d eaten while thinking.

Pick a sign above to jump straight to it.

Aries

Taur + Arri

Arri charges at me most mornings. I don’t move. Eventually he gets tired and sits down next to me, and I share my crisps. That’s friendship.

Verdict: I’m his wall. He’s my alarm clock.

Arri the Rhino, the Aries Astrominal

Taurus

Taur + Taur

Two bulls on one sofa. Nobody has moved since 2019. The remote is somewhere underneath us. We’ve made peace with that.

Verdict: perfectly happy. Possibly fossilised.

Taur the Bull, the Taurus Astrominal

Gemini

Taur + Gem & Eye

They change their minds eleven times before lunch. I’ve changed mine twice in my whole life, and one of those was about mustard.

Verdict: exhausting, but they always bring good gossip.

Gem & Eye, the Gemini Astrominal

Cancer

Taur + Canny

Canny cooks. I eat. Canny cooks more. I eat more. Nobody has ever been so happy in a kitchen.

Verdict: the cosiest pairing in the zodiac.

Canny the Crab, the Cancer Astrominal

Leo

Taur + Leo

Leo wants the spotlight. I want the armchair. As long as the spotlight isn’t pointing at my armchair, we get on fine.

Verdict: a peaceful truce, with occasional roaring.

Leo the Lion, the Leo Astrominal

Virgo

Taur + Virgo

Virgo organised my snack cupboard by colour, size and date. I’ve never been able to find anything so quickly. I nearly cried.

Verdict: earth sign heaven. Very tidy heaven.

Virgo the Shy Sheep, the Virgo Astrominal

Libra

Taur + Libby

We both love nice things. Libby loves a beautiful cushion. I love sitting on a beautiful cushion. We go shopping together and come home with forty cushions.

Verdict: gorgeous house, no room to sit.

Libby the Flamingo, the Libra Astrominal

Scorpio

Taur + Score

Score and I are opposite signs, and we both dig our heels in. One staring contest lasted four days. We called it a draw because the biscuits ran out.

Verdict: stubborn meets stubborn, and somehow it’s lovely.

Score, the Scorpio Astrominal

Sagittarius

Taur + Sagg

Sagg asks, “Fancy climbing a waterfall in the rain?” I say, “No.” Sagg goes anyway and sends me photos. I look at them from the sofa. Everyone wins.

Verdict: works best by postcard.

Sagg the Zebra, the Sagittarius Astrominal

Capricorn

Taur + Cap

Cap does the hard work. I keep everything calm. Together we could run a whole farm, and we nearly have.

Verdict: steady, sensible and slightly boring to everyone else. We love it.

Cap the Goat, the Capricorn Astrominal

Aquarius

Taur + Aqua

Aqua wants to change everything. I want to change nothing. She once replaced my armchair with a “smart chair”. I sat on it until it gave up and became a normal chair.

Verdict: I won. Quietly.

Aqua the Pelican, the Aquarius Astrominal

Pisces

Taur + Pike

Pike daydreams. I daynap. We spend whole afternoons doing nothing together, and it’s brilliant.

Verdict: the calmest friendship in the universe.

Pike the Fish, the Pisces Astrominal

Taur’s sign-off: Getting on with a Taurus is simple. Be kind, be on time with the snacks, and never, ever sit in our chair. Do that and we’ll be the most loyal friend you’ve ever had.
