I am Taurus, My Lover is Pisces

I am Taurus, My Lover is Pisces

The Fish is a perfect match for the Bull for so many reasons! Your lover is poetic, sensitive, spiritual, self-sacrificing and ethereal. Your Pisces will bring you to films, concerts, art exhibits, and other creative cultural activities. You, on the other hand, can teach your Pisces about wines, take them to finer restaurants than they would ever go to on their own, and help them set up a solid savings account. You will have so much fun doing things together, but you can also look forward to having a very deep and beautiful bond of intimacy, and a rich, mature relationship.

You will soon realize that Pisces don't have a realistic bone in their bodies. But since you have enough practicality for two, this should pose no problem. Your lover is accommodating and maybe even thrilled to let you take the lead (Pisces is not into power-plays). Pisces don't have big egos, so your lover will blend his or her personality easily and effortlessly with yours. Pisces will not lean on you, for they are fairly self-sufficient with their many interests and projects. When Pisces fall in love, they do so with their hearts, bodies and souls -- and at near-religious intensity. If you ask for fidelity, your Pisces will gladly swear it to you.

Pisces is not a materialistic sign and will frown on the focus you put on money. Still, your ability to pull down a good salary will help them further their creative efforts (Neptune-ruled natives are almost always creative types), and your Pisces will be very grateful for your help. Only if you become a little selfish with money will you hear Pisces ask you to make a contribution to a charity or other worthy cause to share your good fortune. In truth, Pisces wish there was no money in the world because they simply prefer not to think about it. Money management takes so much effort; they would rather meditate on more important things. When Pisces lend money to a friend they never expect to see it back; Pisces give without ever expecting a return, even if this remains unspoken. This could be one quality you will never understand in your lover. You may feel your Pisces gives too much of themselves to others -- spiritually, emotionally, financially -- and that others take advantage of this. Your Pisces is probably aware of this, but feels that others' needs take precedence over his or her own. Neptune natives have learned the rewards of self-sacrifice. Somehow, Fish create such a good aura around themselves that the Universe protects them and provides the resources they need. All this is a mystery not only to you, but to Pisces as well. Your lover will benefit, however, from much of your good financial advice.

Nowhere is the strong magnetic bond between the earth-bound Bull and the water-bourne Fish more evident than when you make love. Your Pisces has the ability to transcend your physical surroundings and transport you both far away from the everyday world. Time slips away as two souls meet in this spiritual realm. You will find exquisite tenderness and true affection as pure and real as anything your imagination could conjure up. This is a love that endures. It is not an overstatement to say that making love with your Pisces will take your breath away and allow you to see your relationship -- and the world -- in a whole new light. With your Pisces, all will be possible -- your beloved knows no limitations, for whatever the spirit can imagine, it can also realize. You are a master builder of tangible reality -- how could either of you ever find a more suitable soul mate?

A parting word of advice, Taurus: Don't be too practical with your Pisces when in one of his or her dreamy states. Instead of saying, "Do we have to eat by this candlelight? I can't see my food!" go with the mood and be a good sport. There is such a thing as being too practical. If you flatten your Pisces by saying he or she is just being silly, one day your lover may swim away, leaving no forwarding address. Pisces can't bear confrontation, so they simply vanish into thin air once they've made up their minds that all is lost. You will have lost your special lover for good. Cherish your Pisces, for he or she will love you back in a way you never knew and may never fully understand.

I am Taurus, My Lover is Aquarius

I am Taurus, My Lover is Aquarius

It is easy to see the attraction here, but "Can it last?" is the important question. Your Aquarius lover has alluring, mysterious charm. He or she is distant, cool, analytical, intellectual, and seems maddeningly preoccupied. You will respect the Aquarius mind and mastery over his or her profession. Often called geniuses, Aquarias grasp highly technical subjects with ease, and keep their focus firmly on tomorrow. Aquarius' role is to break down established structures and replace what has been swept away with something better. As a Taurus, you aren't like this -- your focus is on the here and now, with the added role of preserving what was created yesterday. Aquarius have their inherent rebellious streak: They must challenge the status quo, something which might not sit right with you. You like social approval -- something they couldn't care less about.

In personality, you are warm and sharing, and although Aquarius are too, they have a very different way of showing affection. After a while, you are likely to notice that your lover holds himself or herself at a slight distance. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus the planet of individuality. The distance you are sensing is their fear of getting too close, for it could mean the loss of self. This terrifies your sweetheart, and you need to take this concern seriously, even though it is something you can't relate to. Being ruled by Venus the planet of love and affection, Taurus find fear of closeness an alien concept; however, developing his or her identity is a true lifelong quest to an Aquarius. Your possessiveness and occasional bouts of jealousy could turn your lover off. If this pairing is going to work, you have to accept what your Aquarius is capable of giving you. Whether this will ever be enough for you is the question. You need a lot of closeness.

There will be more serious challenges, too. Because both of you are fixedsigns, neither of you is likely to make a concerted effort to resolve conflicts that crop up. Both of you learned early in life that you can win arguments by employing your steely resolve. This inevitably leads to an impasse. If one or both of you has compatible earthor waterplanets in your individual charts there could be flexibility on at least on one side. Let's hope so! Otherwise, you both are going to have to try very hard to abandon your stubbornness.

In bed, your Aquarius lover is exciting and inventive, but he or she may find you a little conservative or emotionally clingy. To an Aquarius, making love is just one more interesting thing to do, while sex is a far bigger deal to you. Aquarius are certainly capable of true love, but their need for a no-strings-attached relationship may seem just too loose and impetuous for you. You have no desire to date others (your beloved may not either), but you will promise fidelity. Yet your Aquarius won't commit simply on principle (at least in the early stages). The whole idea of belonging to someone can make an Aquarius squirm.

A parting word: We are only studying Sun signs here. If your Aquarius has lots of Capricorn planets in his or her horoscope (which is possible since Venus, the Moon Mercuryand even Marscould be close to the Sun at any given time), you will find this relationship far easier than I have described. Something drew you two together, so have a look at your full horoscopes to get the entire picture.

I am Taurus, My Lover is Capricorn

I am Taurus, My Lover is Capricorn

Can a Goat and a Bull find happiness? You bet! This relationship should hit the very top of the charts! Both of you are earthsigns, which means you understand one another intuitively.

First and foremost, your Capricorn lover inspires you. The Goat will never be content to graze in the valley. Capricorns' ambition leads them to trek right up to the top of the mountain, and only at the top does the Goat feel peace. This is where he or she is meant to be. Capricorns are very hard workers, determined to succeed and willing to undergo considerable hardships to get to the top. Like Taurus, they are excellent at finances, reliable, steadfast and true. Both of you need social approval, and neither of you is likely to become a radical insurgent and embarrass the other. Life together will be unusually harmonious.

Capricorns have a fabulous sense of humor, perhaps because Saturn the planet of seriousness, rules this sign. It has been said the funniest jokes always hit a sensitive chord. Saturn makes Capricorns earnest, but also makes this sign able to poke some fun at themselves too, to offer a little perspective. You can afford to lighten up a little, Taurus, so your Goat will be good for you.

Despite their humorous side, Capricorns often expect sorrow to follow happiness, particularly in love. Again, this is Saturn speaking. You will have to reassure your lover that you have no hidden agenda and that your love will endure. Don't be afraid: If ever there was someone who could fulfill that promise, it is you, Taurus. If your Capricorn has been disappointed in the past, he or she is not likely to forget the episode easily. Saturn makes memories die hard. You will find that your lover will carefully protect himself or herself so it won't happen again. Your tender reassurance will be needed and appreciated. Your Capricorn will love your pure heart, your stable sensibility, and even your somewhat possessive streak, viewing it as a good thing because it suggests sureness of purpose. Thus, know you can dispel your beloved's fear of abandonment or hurt.

Many Capricorns are talented with drawing or art, and as a Taurus, you particularly love music and art. Capricorn's Sun falls in your 5th house which not only rules love, but creativity as well. Communication should be very, very good between you and your Capricorn, and you will have long discussions on such topics as religion, education, parenting, and all sorts of actual or hypothetical issues. You will talk easily about your dreams and goals, and because your Sun signs are so harmonious, you will understand one another beautifully.

When it comes time to make love, you'll seduce your Capricorn with a combination of sensuality and spiritual love. Taurus are known to be great lovers due to their amazing sensitivity to touch, although all five senses get used masterfully by you. Your Goat may feel a little less talented at lovemaking than you, but soon you will succeed in bringing out the natural passion hidden beneath your Capricorn's reserved exterior. You will have to distract your Goat from daily cares, for Saturn's presence always surrounds Capricorn. Your lover will be grateful to you if you take the lead, for unwinding is hard for a Capricorn to do. But once aroused, you will find your Capricorn as equally ardent and zealous as you.

Before long, one of you will pop the question. Because you both are commitment-oriented (you both were born grown-up), I doubt this will result in disappointment. This match is an amazing blend, so go for your Capricorn lover with pure heart and strong resolve. Making music together on any level -- intellectually, physically, spiritually -- should be easy, and soon you'll know this is The One for you.

I am Taurus, My Lover is Sagittarius

I am Taurus, My Lover is Sagittarius

Fell for a Sagittarius? Don't expect this union to be all sweetness and light. You've got work to do and the question is whether or not your natural inertia will permit you to dig in and do it.

Your lover is ruled by Jupiter the planet of bountiful luck. You will discover your lover brims with optimism. In contrast, you are always preparing for a rainy day; you will be the staunch realist and the practical part of this twosome. Your lover could come to view you as dark and gloomy, and in turn, you may think your Sagittarius is a tad too willing to live life on the edge. As a fixedsign, you aren't likely to change your point of view, but since your partner is a mutablesign -- and therefore more adaptable -- he or she will probably curtail his or her spending to accommodate your need for a secure lifestyle. There is one area which will call for your understanding: Sagittarius need to travel occasionally and indulge their interest in study. Even though you won't always be able to fathom why this is so critically important, you will be likely to oblige your lover in this regard. Luckily, Taurus usually make good incomes. One of you is going to have to fully or partially front Sagittarius' expenses.

You are more commitment-minded, which is going to cause initial problems. You will be ready to exchange rings and vows sooner than your Sagittarius, for this is the sign of the bachelor (male or female). Individuality and freedom of movement are priorities to Sagittarius. Understand that your lover needs freedom to develop his or her full potential, not to two-time you or to be promiscuous. You, on the other hand, are very possessive, so be prepared for your Sagittarius to rebel against any demands you make. Press too hard with "to have and to hold" and Sagittarius will be out the door and running for the airport.

Your ways of expressing yourselves are different, too. You have always seen yourself as a basically rational and truthful person. But if you feel your opinion is going to offend someone, Venus your ruler, will make you think twice about blurting your thoughts out harshly. You believe some things are better left unsaid. However, Sagittarius almost never agree with this line of thinking, so you may often find yourself on the receiving end of a blunt remark that will take days to recover from. When you bring your feelings to your Sagittarius' attention, he or she will be amazed to learn that this comment hurt you so much. Sagittarius are blind to their harsh honesty. Just ask your lover's friends who had to develop the ego-armor to protect themselves. Because this person is your lover, you are more vulnerable and easily hurt, so beware. Sagittarius won't mend his or her ways (he or she doesn't even know what the problem is), so it may come down to figuring out just how many comments you can take in a given period, before you'll give up. This could be the single most difficult aspect about the Sagittarius personality for you to accept.

In matters of business and finance, you both groove on the same frequency. Working together on a business venture could be fun and profitable. Sagittarius lights up your house of joint resources and money gained, and you light up Sagittarius' house of daily work and service. The two of you are just made to work together on something! Sagittarius' intelligent, influential friends could provide the key you need to start this project, so don't hesitate to ask your beloved for help!

Sexually, your lover's firesign could spark the flaming love affair you've dreamt of. Sagittarius crave more than just a purely physical experience, but as an earth sign you are passionate and sensual but not particularly spiritual or romantic. Your earthiness prevents you from getting carried away, which is exactly what your Sagittarius wants. The lack of this extra depth of feeling will have your intellectual lover pondering what's up, but he or she may never really figure it out. You will be wondering why your sweetheart is scrutinizing your relationship so closely. If this should come up, realize that you should try to be a bit more romantic and sentimental.

There may be other planets in your individual horoscopes that make this union work, but on the surface, you can see there will be obstacles. Still, your lover will make you feel less set in your ways, and will bring zest and a sense of discovery to your all-too-routine lifestyle. You will make many new friends and see much more of the world. In turn, you will give your Sagittarius a solid foundation, with wise advice and far greater security. If you both want to give this a try, you have many rewards in store.

I am Taurus, My Lover is Scorpio

I am Taurus, My Lover is Scorpio

What a potent combination! You both have strong wills, opinions, determination and drive. Neither of you feels casual about anything! When you first met your Scorpio beloved you may have felt this person was more fascinating than anyone you'd ever met. Perhaps you noticed that he or she had qualities you wish you had, too. You are on the money, for you and Scorpio are born at opposite ends of the zodiac, and have some extreme differences -- and quite a few similarities, too.

Your autumn-born lover is mysterious and deeply emotional, far more so than you. A watersign, Scorpios blend well with your earthelement, but Scorpios will be far more interested in learning about you than letting you peek inside their heads and hearts. Scorpios feel that to share this information is like giving pieces of themselves away. Before they do that, they have to feel safe. Scorpios always hold their cards close to their vests. Even after you've known your Scorpio for years, you will find that he or she periodically withdraws to mull things over.

Scorpio rules the hidden realms under the surface of life, so they have the ability to get to the very bottom of things and discover what secrets lay buried. You may not see it, but Scorpios are almost always bubbling with emotion under the their placid exteriors. This sign also rules obsession. Try as they will to control their feelings (keeping emotion in check is crucial to Scorpios), they won't fully be able to do so. Your steady, calm demeanor will give solid grounding to them as they weather their fluctuating emotions, and this is certainly a big part of your attraction. However, because Scorpios don't like to discuss their feelings freely, and Taurus are not given to examining feelings frequently, powerful resentments could build up and be swept under the rug. Be mindful of that danger, and try to keep the air clear.

Scorpios are intuitive: They pick up hunches about things that turn out to be dead right nine times out of ten, but they often have no idea why they know what they know. Don't demand a practical or logical explanation -- you won't be able to get one. They are indeed blessed with some psychic ability.

Both of you are fixedsigns, with heaps of determination and single-minded focus. Neither of you will become distracted from the goals you've set. This also means that neither of you is very flexible or good at compromising, which can lead to dead-lock. This kind of stand-off interrupts the flow between you, so be mindful of conflicts and ask yourself if there is a way to compromise.

When it comes to handling finances, Scorpios really excel. Their sign rules the natural 8th houseof joint resources. Your sign rules another financial house, the 2nd houseof personal wealth. Thus, you both are security-oriented, although Taurus are more into buying things while Scorpios are more interested in making investments. Your lover also won't want to spend a lot of money on expensive dinners and other luxuries - Scorpios' tastes are less complex and more straightforward.

When it comes to negotiations, Scorpios know their stuff. They are masters of persuasion because they don't spend time addressing points that don't matter to the other side; instead, they go straight to the heart of the matter. This includes negotiating with you, on matters big or small, but don't be intimidated. Your Scorpio will make so much sense that he or she will earn your respect. Soon, you will find yourself asking his or her advice on how you can best handle the negotiations in your own life.

Both of you are reserved and not especially outgoing. Neither of you likes the dating scene and having to continually tell your life story to strangers. You are both highly possessive lovers too, but you won't find it causes conflicts. Scorpios expect total and complete fidelity and so do you. When you mate, you know it will be for life.

Taurus, in bed you are a powerhouse of energy and sexual mastery. Your Scorpio will expect an incredible depth of feeling from you, something you may or may not be able to give. Because they are a watersign, Scorpios will always have a deeper, wider emotional spectrum than you. Scorpios bring love to a level of spirituality, something a feet-on-the-ground Taurus may have trouble relating to initially. You may have to dismantle some of your practical sensibilities and develop a more romantic frame of mind. Still, your Scorpio will be enraptured by your erotic style, and during long hours lolling in bed will enjoy your careful attention to their every need. Your obvious desire and honest affection for your beloved will thrill them down to their toes (Scorpios always sense truth), and this will create a lasting bond. You will never know such passion. It could be the start of a powerful nuclear reaction of love, the kind you always hoped for!

Your Scorpio will either be the best thing that ever happened to you, or the worst. Whether you complement or compete with one another is yet to be seen. Opposite signs on the astrologic wheel have that potential. If you develop some flexibility and sharpen your emotional sensitivity, things should go very well. This is not easy and some have said linking a Taurus with a Scorpio can be hard if not impossible. Give this relationship all you've got -- the rewards are too good to miss.

I am Taurus, My Lover is Libra

I am Taurus, My Lover is Libra

If you love a Libra, by now you know Libras love to talk. Libras debate all kinds of subjects on every possible level. You have a strong, rational mind, but you don't see why you should have to discuss everything your Libra brings up. You've had a long day perhaps, or you'd like to read the paper quietly in your favorite chair. Libra is an airsign, though, and looks upon conversation as entertainment. Libras' avid mind needs fresh food for thought. Libras can be indecisive, but that is because they are seeing both sides of the issue at hand. When they ask you to give your point of view, they are looking to you for points they haven't yet considered; Libras are driven to find the fair answer, and they carefully analyze all aspects of every issue. What you think is indecision is actually their scales trying to achieve perfect balance. You won't be able to escape being drawn into these conversations, so you might as well dive in.

At first you may feel that you can get your way by being a little pushy, since Libras seem so affable, diplomatic and charming. You can't imagine why your lover would put up a fuss at letting you have what you want anyway. Think again. Libras are determined, opinionated, and not passive about anything. Libras will inevitably win every little point and gradually work their way up to the bigger stuff after they have learned your style. Your Taurus inertia and resistance to debate is something Libras will seductively use against you. So there you stand: unsure how or why it happened, but your Libra has charmed you again, and you've lost -- hook, line and sinker. Now, this isn't really so terrible, because you are kind of enjoying the process. Your Libra will discover that if you ever get REALLY upset, you will react so powerfully that your Libra could be temporarily frightened off. But you can be sure your Libra will be back later, all smiles and fully aware that yes, he or she did push you a tad too hard. You simply can't stay mad at this charming creature.

Your Libra is much more social than you are, and will want to be out and about for what you consider to be inordinate amounts of time. You are a homebody, Taurus, and don't particularly want to be friends with as many people as Libras seem to be friends with. When Libras aren't out, they are on the phone. Libras need interaction with others like they need oxygen, so you might be forced to find some middle ground if you want to spend time with your lover. Libras love to entertain, though, so here's your compromise: Have everyone come to your place. You can be home where you like it and few signs entertain with the flair and grace of a Libra.

In bed, Libras are lively and lyrical. Libras will always bring poetry and expression to lovemaking, while you will emphasize the physical side of love. You have much to teach one another in those regards and the lessons will be as sweet as honey. Your joint rulership by Venusshould create a lovely blending of souls. Furthermore, you won't have to worry about your lover's fidelity. Libra is the natural sign of marriage, so they are happiest when paired with another. Libras do not want to be dating all their lives, and you don't either.

As you see, this relationship has a few challenges but can be deeply satisfying. The eventual success of this match depends on how badly you want this relationship to last. If you do, there is nothing beyond the ability of a Taurus to attain. Just be a little more flexible, Bull.

I am Taurus, My Lover is Virgo

I am Taurus, My Lover is Virgo

This is a heavenly mix, so if you are attracted to a Virgo, grab this lover and hold on tight! Both of you are earthsigns, indicating you want many of the same things: a productive life, money in the bank, and time to spend on intellectual and cultural activities.

Virgos are the worriers and Taurus are the experts at soothing, so you are a perfect match. The reason for Virgos' constant worrying stems from their sense of responsibility. They are afraid of letting someone down, like their boss, kids, friends or you, by not accomplishing what they promised. You are steadfast and true-blue too, but you rarely worry about anything, so you find your Virgo's concerns lovable, and may even offer to pitch in and help. You two keep your heads out of the clouds, so you will probably agree on most of the big decisions you'll make together. Peace and harmony is your number one goal Taurus, and you'll get it with your Virgo lover. Best of all, Virgo will give you the complete fidelity you crave, for they have integrity all the way down to their toes, and want a one-and-only, too.

You will be stimulated by Virgos' razor-sharp mind and sound reason. Virgos' rulership by nimble Mercuryhas its rewards. Virgos are super-organized and always happy to help out. Words and ideas flow easily for Virgos, and they make superb teachers and communicators. Should you find yourself in a crisis, your Virgo can come up with many battle plans. Since Virgo is a mutablesign, and you're a fixedone, you will find your beloved infinitely more flexible and adaptable than you are. You will be amazed at your Virgo's resourcefulness. You have substantial gifts with which to influence your Virgo in return, not the least of which is your focus on your chosen path in life. This shows your strength of purpose, patience and determination. Your Virgo is restless and needs instant gratification, but your soothing presence will help him or her cope more realistically with life's vicissitudes.

So, what kind of energy do you generate when the lights go out? Since you are such a masterful lover, your Virgo will be responsive and warm, and fulfill your fantasies of what love is all about. But bear in mind that Virgos are often a little reserved at first. Use that Taurus patience. Sometimes love can get predictable, but since Virgo sread so much, your lover is sure to come back with a new idea he or she would be willing to try. Virgos are also great communicators, and in lovemaking that is a big plus.

When the planets and signs are arrayed this well in a love match, the lovers can speak in code or with just a look to each other, and all will be understood. Your Virgo's Sun sign lights up your 5th houseof true love, so you see, it couldn't get any better than this!

I am Taurus, My Lover is Leo

I am Taurus, My Lover is Leo

In many ways the two of you are very similar. You both adore the finer things in life, like dining out, attending cultural activities and interesting parties, and having a beautiful home. Each of you likes that the other is possessive and loyal, for neither of you could tolerate a third party in the background, even in the earliest stages of dating. Yet your needs are quite different: You crave a strong sense of security and frequent displays of affection, whereas your Leo needs attention, applause, and above all, respect. Leo will adore your compliments, and look for a steady supply from you, even if you've been together for years. Your praise helps to reassure Leo that he or she is still number one. Taurus, you aren't always aware you need to do this, which might lead your Leo to wonder if you've fallen out of love! Keep an eye out for this possible miscommunication.

You will adore your Leo's creativity. Many Leos work in the arts, especially in theatre and other performance arts, television, or in advertising as art directors or as graphic designers. You have the know-how to build a successful business enterprise: Taurus are often called in when a fledging business needs a leader who can guide it from the early stages into a more mature stage of expansion. Taurus expect obstacles in life and have the patience to work through them, while Leos are surprised when they hit an obstacle. Use your talent for long term success to make this relationship work. Your expectations are realistic and you have exceptional patience. As a long distance runner (not a sprinter), you feel anything worth doing is worth doing well -- the very reason you are not likely to walk away from this relationship after you've hit the first speed bump.

Both of you love material objects, though for slightly different reasons: You love rewarding your senses, while your lover wants outward evidence of success. Your Leo's elegant style has them craving the high life, but you may be concerned about how much this could ultimately cost. Their champagne taste could get tough to support over time. (This is true no matter who is the provider, since, once married, money tends to come out of the same pot.) Taurus says, "Show me the money!" and then promptly banks it. Taurus would rather have money in the bank than on their backs. Leo understands this intellectually, but not emotionally, and will never be completely comfortable with living on a strict budget. The allocation of funds is definitely something to talk about if you two start to get serious.

But there is a bigger concern: You both are fixed in your opinions and are not likely to bend, which could lead to serious gridlock when you disagree. In every relationship, someone has to offer an olive branch! Ideally, it won't be the same person all the time. Consider this the next time you find yourself locked in conflict with your Leo. Know that Leos like to take credit for everything around them, due to their ability to see the big picture. This comes so naturally to them that they don't even realize they're doing it. While this could make you see red, you might also just be inclined to allow your lover this pleasure, simply to keep the peace (Venusruled Taurus likes life harmonious). Realize that your lover is ruled by the Sun center of our solar system, which is why Leos can get so egocentric. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love, so you are the more likely partner to find a diplomatic solution. If your Leo lover means a lot to you, look at what options are presented and make suggestions. In many ways, the future of this relationship will depend on your willingness to bring the two of you together, rather than allow Leo's egotism to tear you apart.

It takes a lot to ruffle you, but when you get to the end of your rope -- watch out! Neither the Bull nor the Lion are known to be quiet-tempered animals! Your Sun signs are not in harmonious angle to one another, suggesting that when tempers flare, they'll generate scorching heat. The next time firesign Leo and earthsign Taurus try to stare each other down, consider which element is likely to overpower the other. Yours will, Taurus, for you could bury your lover in your earthy sensibilities. You could dump a ton of practicality over Leo's dreams but in so doing you can shut off all Leo's light. Winning should not be the goal, remaining close should. It may be too easy for you to take away his or her spirit, and you may find that although you've won the battle you've lost the war. Don't push your Lion too hard.

Passion will not be lacking when the Lion and the Bull team up in bed! Both of you like to take your time and create lively, lustful lovemaking. Under the sheets you will notice Leo's desire for adoration, so be prepared to lavish time on him or her. It will be time well spent! Leo is very warmhearted and generous -- something you will always appreciate. Leo will cherish you always, in his or her own dramatic and flamboyant style. That is the best reason to stay with Leo, in fact -- it's so much fun! Life would be so boring without your Leo lover.

I am Taurus, My Lover is Cancer

I am Taurus, My Lover is Cancer

You've found a soul mate. You and Cancer want the same things: family, home, stability, security, and a nice nest egg. Both of you are sensual, and Cancer's innate ESP will sense your every wish before you can even open your mouth. Your lover will baby you so you will get the hint and baby them back -- something Cancers love. How can this relationship fail? It should be cuddly, close and cozy warm during your private time together.

As a Taurus, you probably keep your Cancer lover supplied with herbs from the garden and flowers for the dining table. Your Cancer shows love best by cooking and you are happy to accept such tasty offerings. You both love to eat and whip up amazing dishes together, so you can start your seduction process in the kitchen and later head to the bedroom.

Having enough money means a lot to you both, although Taurus will spend for more luxuries than will Cancer. Cancer will buy a wonderful coat and wear it for a decade. Taurus will buy insurance, stocks and bonds, and then spend the rest on a stereo or a new car. Cancer will buy enough food to supply a small bomb shelter and bank the rest of the money in a conservative, safe, savings account. If your Cancer lover needs something special, he or she will wait for a sale or get it wholesale. You, on the other hand, are enjoy shopping retail in fine boutiques. If Cancers need more money, they'll cut back on expenses. If you need more money, you'll march out and find a better job, an additional job, or a new investment strategy that generates more income. This difference in money style doesn't matter in the end, for the result is the same -- a bigger bank account. Unlike Leos or Capricorns who need money to earn respect, you and Cancer just need it to have a happier life.

In bed, thanks to your earthy erotic style and Cancer's deeply emotional approach to love, you have a passionate, nurturing union of two souls. Taurus like to take their time seducing their sweethearts, which is just fine with a Cancer. Since you only get better with time, Taurus, and hit your sexual peak later in life, you and your lover have a lot to look forward to! Cancer will want little love notes now and then or at least some candles around the bedroom. Can you oblige by being more romantic? Try! When you make love you are both as tender as can be and so genuine in your expression of feelings. What more could either of you ask?

I am Taurus, My Lover is Gemini

I am Taurus, My Lover is Gemini

Each sign in the wheel of the zodiac makes up for what the one before it lacks. Gemini is right after Taurus, so in the cosmic consciousness, Gemini know that dreams are broken and opportunities are lost when you play it safe or take too long to decide. Gemini won't let this happen. Perhaps they don't always look before they leap, but Gemini are determined to press forward and take chances along the way.

Your Gemini lover is sharp, witty, clever, articulate, highly versatile and adaptable. Gemini excel in communications-oriented fields, such as publishing, sales, public relations, human resources and the travel industry. You are more private, Taurus, and like to manage risk and think things out prudently and sensibly. Taurus need to put down roots, preferably in a house in the country where there is lots of greenery to enjoy. Your Gemini could live out of a suitcase as long as he or she has a phone (wireless of course), fax, and a laptop to cuddle up with at night. Living in the city, where all the action is, would probably be Gemini's preference (although their nerves are calmer in more bucolic settings).

Gemini are brainy folk who thrive on knowledge and information. Generally they need few creature comforts or material objects to make them happy. Gemini feel material objects and possessions weigh them down, and for them, this is true. However, Taurus, you need to be surrounded by beauty and comfort to fully enjoy life. Taurus find it hard to understand how Gemini could snooze on the couch (of all places) for only a couple hours' sleep and then pop up again at 3:00 AM and race back to their computer to tap out yet another story/proposal/project outline. Phew! Gemini can be hard to keep up with. Your nimble lover heats up like mercury in a thermometer when the pace picks up around them. Gemini find it hard to understand why Taurus need so much sleep and why it takes Taurus so long to see the "obvious" solutions to problems. Taurus have lots of patience but Gemini have none at all, so there is another gulf you two will have to bridge.

In bed, Gemini are good at mirroring moods, but sometimes they are too devoted to the "quickie." Bulls might not understand what's going on and take it all too personally. "Have I become a mere object to you?" you ask, which couldn't be further from the point. Your Gemini will have no idea what you are talking about. Gemini aren't as emotional or erotic as you, nor do they take the words "to have and to hold" as literally as you. In fact, declaring undying love and getting married is scary for Gemini. It just seems so FINAL. Gemini could come around to the idea eventually, but probably not as soon as you would like. Sex is exciting to Gemini, just like lots of other things. Sex is not the be-all and end-all it is to you. Gemini need variety, while you like to stick to your time-tested winning ways. You enter life from different doors, so try to find a place of mutual benefit to meet up in the hallway of life.

You relate to the physical aspects of the world through things you can touch, but your lover is more idea and concept oriented. Even politically, you are likely to find yourself on the conservative end of the spectrum with your lover a die-hard liberal. If you get into a tiff, you'll be at a disadvantage, for Gemini are brilliantly eloquent and can run rings around you verbally in no time flat. You may not be able to instantly defend your challenged position -- you might never know what hit you. Your self-esteem could take a plunge, and if your lover doesn't apologize, your hurt feelings could linger for a long time. Realize that Gemini often mean no malice, so if your lover doesn't immediately make up with you, let him or her know how you feel. Communication is always the best way to deal with a Gemini.

It has been said that Taurus should learn to think when they are busy feeling and learn to feel when they are busy thinking. Taurus never seem to be able to combine the two, which is what derails their relationships with Gemini. When things go wrong, Taurus clings to his or her position fiercely, which can only widen the gulf between Taurus and Gemini. Gemini will wonder why Taurus is so obstinate. Taurus will wonder why Gemini refuses to agree, even if just out of love. Of course, love isn't the issue, but Taurus may feel that it ultimately is. If your Gemini lover ever discovers that the way to your heart is through physical affection rather than reason and logic, you may have a chance to survive as a couple.

This is going to be a tough relationship -- if it works you two will share many wonderful gifts and talents. If you love your Gemini and your Gemini loves you, you have already begun the process of sharing your greatest attributes successfully.

I am Taurus, My Lover is Taurus

I am Taurus, My Lover is Taurus

Talk about a solid combo! Taurus are highly possessive and mate for life, so there are no worries about infidelity here. You value reliability in a mate, so this sure sounds like you've got someone you really respect.

Taurus adore having private time to display their affections, and since you (both) are highly sensual, tactile and erotic, you can expect fantastic chemistry physically -- now and forever! Taurus is ruled by Venus so you both love the sweeter, softer side of life: elegant dining, fine wine, music, flowers, art, cultural activities to attend, as well as all kinds of exquisite creature comforts at home. Venus-ruled people need beauty as much as oxygen to survive, and luckily your sweetie agrees. You may work in the fine or graphic arts, real estate, insurance or finance. All of these professions would use your talents well. You are a practical, polite, tolerant, and sensible pair who prize stability, so you are likely to agree on your values and priorities together with ease. Still, at times your life can be predictable and a tad too safe and steady.

Taurus can be so suspicious of change, it isn't always a good thing. You two need a little passion and risk to stir you up, but neither of you is likely to be the one to make it happen. You both are a bit stubborn, so if you don't agree, you reach an impasse. Without getting used to taking risks, facing a crisis together will be especially hard. You see, unlike airsign natives, neither of you has the psychological ability to turn on a dime and rapidly think up resourceful options. Taurus like to have time to think things through thoroughly, and sometimes that just isn't possible!

Still, your lover adores that he or she can always count on you. You would never dream of letting this person down, or anyone else in your life for that matter. You do things with thoroughness and concentration because you want to feel proud of your effort, and this is true whether it is a project or a relationship. Because you go slowly, you have the ability to fix errors and small flaws in anything you turn your attention to.

You have found someone who understands you, Taurus, so give this relationship a chance, but also give your lover a little kick so you'll both remember to keep things interesting.

I am Taurus, My Lover is Aries

I am Taurus, My Lover is Aries

You and Aries couldn't be more different. But this may be the very reason you are drawn together! Your Aries lover is full of fire, light, energy and enthusiasm, bright ideas and fresh starts. You, on the other hand, prefer to be safe and sound. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is your motto. Yet your beloved Aries will never be content to leave well enough alone. Noisy, rambunctious, and always testing their physical strength and resolute willpower, Aries usually win. Don't even try to tell Aries what to do, for they don't take advice too readily. Aries rules the life force, with me-first intensity, but at times Aries' impetuousness can led them into trouble.

That's where you come in, Taurus. You are the anchor in Aries all too frenetic life -- you're the steady rock in the Aries storm. They thrive on crisis, but at times it can get too much, even for them! Your soothing voice, your tender touch makes everything all better again. Be aware that Aries' role is to initiate, and Taurus' is to react and preserve. So you might become increasingly stubborn if your Aries is constantly goading you to do, do, do! Passive resistance only gets Aries mad, so your Bull's horns may lock with your Ram's more frequently than you'd like. Don't let this happen too often or you'll derail the relationship.

Sexually, you have very different physical rhythms. Your style of lovemaking is slow as melted chocolate, and just as sensual. For you, slowly is the very best way to savor one another. Aries, on the other hand, is a bundle of energy and quite a little firecracker in bed -- quick, hot, and right to the point. This can be frustrating when you want to linger, though, and you will both have to be sensitive to one another if you are to succeed under the covers. You are so erotic, lusty, and sensuous that your chances of winning your Aries over are good -- so be confident! Few can resist falling under the spell of Taurus.

Your lover will bring you lots of excitement and show you how not to play life so close to the vest. Aries have courage to spare and you admire this enormously. Taurus, you know how to build things and make them last, so you each have a great deal to give one another. If you love your Aries, try to make it work -- and don't be too stubborn!
