Beauty and the Beast — this is the perfect Libra--Taurus couple. Belle, the Beauty, of
course, is the Libra — she just wants love and romance, and can't stand being alone.
And only a Libra — well, no, I take that back. There are a few other signs that would
go to great lengths to kiss an ugly dude like the Beast who would keep her in finery. But
Libra, that's definitely right up this sign's alley. Libras love living in luxury; they
want all the pretty frills, not to mention constant companionship. So, even though Libras
are very much into aesthetics — how things look, and people too — they want to be beautiful,
and they want to be surrounded by other gorgeous people — Belle was able to look past the
Beast's looks because of how he treated her, and what he could promise her. I mean, let's
face it — he was filthy rich, and Belle must have loved that about him. Ugly or not,
rich dudes are usually Taureans. That's the sign of money — Taurus just has a way of
attracting riches, and this sign loves treating its lover to any and all types of indulgence.
Whatever his sweetheart wants, the Beast wants to give her, you know what I mean? Beyond
all that, both Taurus and Libra are ruled by the planet Venus, which is all about romance,
beauty, pleasure — and there you have it. These two really understand each other on
this level, so they can get seriously indulgent together. Now, that's all well and good in
a fairytale, but in the real world, two luxury-loving signs together — well, it can still work
out well. Taurus has a serious stubborn streak, but Libra's number-one priority is partnership,
harmony, so Libra will do what it takes to pacify Taurus when that temper gets stirred
up. But these two signs are quincunx — one of the hard aspects in Astrology, and the
one that comes with a lot of karma — which isn't necessarily a good thing. The thing
is, when two signs are quincunx, they just don't have much in common. There can be a
lot of tension here because they just don't get each other. And karmically speaking, they've
come together because they have something big to work out together. So that's a lot
of heaviness for a relationship to carry, you know? I don't know, this pairing definitely
has certain things going for it — the pleasure-loving, indulgent aspects of it — but I've seen
some Taurus--Libra couples fail pretty spectacularly, too. Because in the end, they just didn't
have enough of a connection to make it last.
