Taurus and Sagittarius compatibility

Taurus and Sagittarius are five signs apart on the wheel, a quincunx of about 150°: earth and fire, one fixed and one mutable. Astrology reads the angle between two Sun signs as the first measure of a pair, and the rest of the two charts as the rest of the story.

This year the Sun is in Taurus from 20 April to 21 May and in Sagittarius from 22 November to 21 December. 6 famous couples in StarMap's dataset are a Taurus and a Sagittarius, where chance would give about 8.2: Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill and Kaley Cuoco and Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson among them. Among the 537 couples with both Sun signs certain, that makes this the 45th most common pairing of the 78. A Sun sign is one placement of ten, and the two whole charts say far more than the two signs.

Each sign has its own page: Taurus and Sagittarius, with its dates to the minute, its traits and the famous people born under it.

What astrology reads for Taurus and Sagittarius

Five signs apart is the quincunx, the angle the tradition reads as adjustment. The two signs share neither element nor modality and sit too far apart to be opposites, so there is no obvious ground in common and no obvious contest either. Astrologers describe these pairs as two people who keep finding that a word means something slightly different to each of them.

The reading is of a relationship that is made rather than found. Nothing comes free, and what the two people share has usually been built deliberately, from an interest in how differently the other one sees things. The tradition reads this angle as the one that most rewards curiosity and most punishes assumption, and leaves it to the rest of the two charts to say which the pair is better at.

Earth with fire

A fire sign with an earth sign is read as spark and ground: one wants to start, the other wants to make it last. The tradition reads the pairing as productive when each respects what the other supplies, the fire sign bringing the impulse and the earth sign the follow-through, and wearing when each reads the other as either reckless or dull. Astrologers call it the pairing that most needs to agree on pace.

Fixed with mutable

One sign is fixed and one is mutable, a keeper with an adapter. In the tradition the fixed sign gives the relationship its shape and the mutable sign its give; the strain is read as each mistaking the other's nature for a choice, the fixed sign taking flexibility for drift and the mutable sign taking steadiness for refusal.

These are readings of the Sun signs alone, written for reflection and entertainment. They describe tendencies the tradition assigns to an angle, not two people, and they do not say whether a pair lasts.

Taurus in love, Sagittarius in love

Taurus

In love, Taurus is slow to begin and slow to end. Affection shows in presence rather than declarations: cooking, turning up, remembering. The sign wants a settled life with someone and is unsettled by games and sudden changes. Its lesson is that holding on tightly is not the same as holding well.

Sagittarius

In love, Sagittarius wants a companion for the road more than a keeper of the house. Freedom matters, so does laughter, and a partner who tries to pin it down usually ends up watching it go. Its lesson is that commitment can be an adventure rather than the end of one.

494 famous people have the Sun in Taurus for certain and 449 in Sagittarius: every Taurus Sun and every Sagittarius Sun, each with a birth chart.

Famous Taurus and Sagittarius couples

Of the 537 spouse and partner pairs in StarMap’s dataset whose Sun signs are both certain, 6 are Taurus and Sagittarius. From the share of each sign among every couple’s members, chance alone would give about 8.2, a ratio of 0.73, which makes this the 45th most common pairing of the 78. Their sky match, from the angles between the two charts, averages 58 out of 100 against 67 for every couple counted. With about seven couples a cell, a ratio between a half and double is what chance produces; the counts describe the dataset, not the signs.

All famous couples, each scored from both birth charts.

Both signs in one chart

The two signs also meet inside one chart, when the Sun is in one and the Moon in the other. Astrologers read a Sun and Moon five signs apart the way they read the two Suns above, as a quincunx between how a person is seen and how they feel.

Only people whose Sun and Moon signs do not depend on an unknown birth time are counted. The Moon in Sagittarius and the Moon in Taurus have pages of their own.

Questions people ask

Are Taurus and Sagittarius compatible?

By Sun sign alone, astrology reads Taurus and Sagittarius as a quincunx, five signs apart: earth and fire, fixed with mutable. That is a reading of one placement of ten and not a verdict on two people. In StarMap's dataset of famous couples, 6 are Taurus and Sagittarius, against about 8.2 that chance would give, a ratio of 0.73. The angles between two whole charts, Moon to Moon and Venus to Mars among them, say more than the Sun signs can; the comparison is free on StarMap.

How many famous couples are Taurus and Sagittarius?

6 of the 537 couples in StarMap's dataset with both Sun signs certain, Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill and Kaley Cuoco and Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson among them. Chance alone would give about 8.2, which makes it the 45th most common pairing of the 78. Their sky match, from the angles between the two charts, averages 58 out of 100 against 67 for every couple counted.

Who has the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Sagittarius?

26 people in StarMap's dataset have the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Sagittarius, Adele, Al Pacino and Iker Casillas among them. 19 people in StarMap's dataset have the Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Taurus, Jim Morrison, Christina Aguilera and Christopher Plummer among them. The Moon's sign depends on the day and often on the hour of birth, so only people whose Moon sign is certain are counted.

Sun signs are computed from the Sun’s position with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris, in the tropical zodiac. Birth data and relationship data come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, from Astro-Databank with their Rodden rating. A couple is counted only when the Sun was in one sign for the whole of each birth date. Readings describe what the tradition assigns to an angle, for entertainment and self-reflection; StarMap predicts nothing. Compare two whole charts.
