Taurus with Sagittarius
This is an attraction of radically different natures. It can blow extremely hot and extremely cold without either of you quite understanding what triggers the change.
Taurus is an earth sign, affectionate and possessive, with a love of security and a deep appreciation of sensual pleasures and material beauty. Sagittarius is a fire sign, restless and intellectually curious, with a love of change and a deep appreciation of the fact that it's more fun to travel than to arrive. You could be a wonderfully creative balance to each other, because Taurus' stability can provide a wonderful base for Sagittarius' unfocused volatility. Whereas Sagittarius' broad-minded vision can provide a wonderful stimulus for Taurus' tendency to resist change.
But you need to be careful not to polarise. Nothing makes Taurus as wildly irritated as Sagittarius' favourite declaration, "But we have such a boring life!" And nothing makes Sagittarius as wildly irritated as Taurus' favourite declaration, "But we can't afford it!"
Try to avoid attempting to change each other. As long as you can both respect each other's very different world-views, you have an enormous amount to give each other.

You are a Taurus
Ferdinand the Bull, in the famous children's story, is a loveable creature and a perfect Taurean. He amuses himself by smelling the flowers, listening to the birdsong, and enjoying the summer breezes. He's easily contented, at home in his pasture. Then one day he sits on a flower, and on the flower is a bee...You can work out the rest. The story of many Taurean lives runs along these lines. There's lots of contentment, and you can appreciate the beauty in life more than any other sign. But there's always that damned bee.
A few words encapsulate your fundamental nature: peaceful, serene, pleasure-loving, calm, thorough, stable, sensible. The famous Taurean patience isn't built on discipline; it's the patience of nature, of the Earth itself. There's no doubt that you like your security in tangible, unchanging forms - like gold bullion, or valuable antique furniture, or a really superb Ferrari.
Wealth of a non-corporeal kind (like dreams, self-understanding, and other invisible commodities) is not really wealth to a Taurus. Security is what you can trust, and what you can trust is what's physically real and doesn't change.
Taureans are realists. You aren't ambitious in the usual sense of the word, and you're happy to remain the unseen power behind the throne -provided it gives you pleasure and earns good money. You know that you can't eat laurels, and fame can't fix a leaky roof. The problem with all this reality is that you may miss what's not visible to the earthy eye.
You value simplicity, consistency and basic facts, but much of life -including the mysterious depths of love - is neither simple nor consistent. Taureans are often frightened by what they can't see or hold in the palms of their strong, capable hands. You're an undeniably sensuous creature, not only in the sexual realm, but in anything that pleases the senses.
Taureans often have real creative talent at painting, design or music, and you've got the patience and common sense to make the best of your gifts. Life in an artist's garret may not appeal, but then, you don't mythologise yourself and are pretty shrewd about assessing just how big or little your talent is and how you can best achieve satisfaction without sacrificing comfort. You're wise enough to know that there are no free lunches, and that it's enough to do what you do well. Aspirations to save the world or write the great novel of the century aren't your style.
You aren't interested in anything cheap, and that includes your choice of mate. Quality counts. Although you have a sentimental, gentle, romantic streak, you'll still want to check a prospective partner's references. Sometimes you're so entranced by physical beauty or material success that you miss what lies underneath. Sad to say, many Taureans are hopelessly ensnared by appearances. Yet what you value you cherish, and you'll hang on with both tough fists.
Taureans stand by their loved ones. You may not always understand their motives, but you'll remain loyal regardless. All that steadiness can sometimes lead to complacency. That's where the bee comes in. It seems to be a necessary part of Taurus' life pattern. Without the occasional sting, you can remain charming but childlike. Life can seem terribly simple to you, stark black and white with no shades of grey in between.
The bee (which usually takes the form of a disappointment in love, or a big financial crisis) awakens your capacity for tolerance and wisdom. It's a lovely combination, once achieved. Then you can fathom the deepest realities of life and can also empathise and remain open to the realms of the imagination and the heart. And that's the greatest form of wealth there is.
The Sagittarius partner
Sagittarians can exhibit a certain reluctance when it comes to things like marital vows. Since this sign's great love is for future possibilities, they'll quite naturally balk when they're asked to give up all those possibilities for one reality for the rest of their life. "'Til death do us part" is a phrase which resonates powerfully because of the word "death", which is what absolute commitment may seem like to the ever-questing Centaur. This is especially true of the Centaur who's already been burned in the days when his youthful ideals were untarnished.
Deep in every Sagittarian soul is a wanderer. That doesn't mean Sagittarius is incapable of a lasting bond. That endless quest for meaning can be lived within the Sagittarian's own soul, and not necessarily through a series of idealised loves. But even with this more philosophical kind of Sagittarian, it's not a good idea to play the jealous, suspicious lover. It won't help at all, and it may drive your Sagittarian straight into more open, less clinging arms. Sagittarians can be deeply responsible, but they don't like being reminded by other people of their responsibilities. If you can't offer love with light, generous hands, then find yourself a needier, more homebound sign.
Sagittarians, being idealists, are easily bewitched by their romantic fantasies. Any "flings" begun on this basis usually mean very little, and if Sagittarians wander, they usually turn around and come home again. You don't have to be there waiting, but you may need to take the tolerant, long-term view rather than nursing spite. Sagittarians both long for and fear stability, but it's more likely they'll long for it if it isn't strapped to their shoulders like a millstone. They're driven by a vague anxiety about their mortality, and they have difficulty living in a body at all because it reminds them of their mortal limits.
Their visions of love are likely to be so grandiose and mythic that you can never hope to match the vision. You need both confidence and humour to let your Sagittarian partner pursue the unobtainable and get disillusioned by it. Of course there are lots of Sagittarians who are fully willing and able to make a commitment in relationship. But they still don't like being caged, and that means psychological as well as sexual caging.
Learn to join their wild imaginative flights, or else quietly get on with your own life. But never, never nag or demean those dreams. It's tragic to see a Centaur bound and gagged by someone who can't appreciate their freedom-loving spirit. Emotional manipulation and the crushing of their dreams may keep your Sagittarian housebound, but deep down, you will have lost them.
Sagittarians need to believe in something, and they need goals, even if the goals aren't realistic. Reminding a Sagittarius that his dream is silly or childish is the best way of driving him off after a new arrow. But then, if you didn't believe a little in those dreams, you wouldn't be with a Sagittarian anyway, would you?
Sagittarius can be the most generous of souls, both materially and emotionally. They don't like demands, but they can surprise and enchant loved ones with their enthusiasm and magnanimity. They can be self-centred and insensitive, but it's never out of malice or coldness. You have to simply tell them, without ten years of covert resentment brewing beneath the surface, "You forgot that it's my birthday."
Sagittarians believe in democracy, so don't try the "Do it because I say so" routine, because you'll just get laughed at or abandoned. Sagittarius needs and deeply appreciates a friend who can share those wonderful dreams, and who will be there when he lands with a bump (which he inevitably does, sooner or later). That isn't really a great deal to ask, when you think of all the warmth, enthusiasm, generosity, humour and inspiration the Sagittarian partner can offer. After all, what are friends for?

The Sagittarius man
This elusive and fascinating creature can often be spotted by his tendency to gesticulate wildly and tell very funny stories. One of the nicest things about the Sagittarius man is his sense of dramatic irony. He'll often do his travelling and his wandering on a mental rather than a physical level. This is the philosopher of the zodiac, absorbing all forms of knowledge like tasty meals. But the Sagittarius man isn't really an intellectual in the academic sense. He's far too intuitive, and more interested in spotting connections than in dissecting information. And his thinking is speculative rather than pedantic, whether it's focused on philosophy, literature, the arts or the stock market. The life of the mind is much more important to him than what he eats for dinner. In fact, he'll often forget to eat.
The Sagittarius man often attracts a partner who sees this endering absent-mindedness and sets about trying to take care of him. What he doesn't need, repeat, doesn't need, is to be taken care of. Of course he'll tell you he does. He'd live in a pigsty without you, and his clothes would be rumpled and his bills not paid on time. But if you do these things for him, he'll grow to resent it. If you've been lured into the caretaker role, stop playing it at once.
You can't parent him until he grows up. His definition of growing up is different from yours. Most people believe maturity is about taking responsibility in the tangible world. For Sagittarians, maturity is seeing, realising, understanding.
Not that you're to blame for trying. The Centaur is an exciting and dynamic man, whether intellectually or in action, and his fleetness of foot and untamed vision make him terribly appealing, especially to partners who long for a little excitement and inspiration in their lives.
There's no doubt that Sagittarius' adventurous soul is guaranteed not to bore you (unless he's going on about his current philosophical, spiritual or political hobby-horse). But if you can create some adventure and excitement in your own life, you'll enjoy him and his vision much more. Also, you're demonstrating that you're a travelling companion who can have adventures yourself, and not someone who's joined to him at the hip. One of Sagittarius' basic approaches to life is to laugh at it. The world is, after all, a rather silly place. But you have to have a sense of humour yourself, or otherwise you won't understand what he's laughing at, especially when he laughs at you. The Sagittarius man can be a terrible tease, and he's not averse to taking a sly poke at anyone who's too serious or pompous. He doesn't like hypocrisy, and he can be hair-raisingly blunt when it comes to telling you what he thinks of you. He's big-hearted and kind, but not blessed with an overabundance of tact.
Fortunately, this sometimes hurtful side of his nature is balanced by the fact that he can laugh at himself too. His biggest problem in relationship is crossing that dreadful bridge between romantic fantasy and earth-plane reality. For many Centaurs, it's just too big a chasm, and they never succeed in getting to the other side. They often leave a trail of broken love affairs behind them and are still pursuing the dream even when they're clearly long past being able to fully live it. Most Sagittarian men, however, do make peace with earth-plane reality sooner or later, albeit reluctantly.
Beneath the apparently ironic or skittish approach some Sagittarian men display toward commitment, you'll often find a frightened child who's afraid his romantic ideals will be smashed. Don't mistake that "See you some time" approach for a cold heart. The Sagittarian man has a heart of gold, when he's really in love. It's just that his dreams bruise easily. Eventually he learns to humanise his expectations of life and love, and trust and friendship are the guideposts that can help him on his way. He can offer those in abundance himself, and he deserves them in exchange.
