Taurus in love: Taurus loves with steadfast devotion and a sensual, affectionate touch. They build relationships to last and want a stable, trustworthy partner — but their loyalty can tip into possessiveness.
Earth signs measure love in reliability, which suits the other earth signs and the water signs, and tends to read fire as noise. As a fixed sign it holds its ground, so the classic clash is with the other fixed signs, none of which move first.
The tradition usually names Virgo (4th), Capricorn (3rd), Cancer (1st), Pisces (2nd) as Taurus's classic matches and Leo (11th), Aquarius (12th) as the difficult ones. On our scale, which scores element, modality and opposition rather than reputation, the two mostly agree, which is what you would expect when the tradition and the arithmetic are both reading the same elements.
Best match on our scale is Cancer at 92/100; the pairing that asks the most of both people is Aquarius at 38/100. A low score is a translation problem, not a verdict: plenty of the hardest pairings on this list are also the ones people describe as the most alive.

How to read these scores
Element, modality and opposition, weighed the way the elements and modalities page explains. What a Sun-sign score cannot see is a birth chart, so treat it as the opening read and run the synastry calculator with both charts for the real thing.
Taurus's element-mates are Virgo and Capricorn, and their hubs are the natural next read. The whole grid is on the zodiac compatibility page.
