Taurus and Capricorn are really lovely together. Both are earth signs. Taurus is fixed and Capricorn is cardinal. That’s the basic technique for looking at synastry. Earth signs trine and tend to harmonize. Earth signs love reliability and Taurus and Capricorn love to rely on one another. Both Taurus and Capricorn are skeptical as hell and both are sensual.

Let’s go a little deeper. Besides just the earth trine, why is it that Capricorn is so specifically horny for Taurus?

I actually call Capricorn Capri-horny for a reason. Whenever you study Capricorn as a zodiac sign, you have to keep in mind that it is the sign of the winter solstice. That means that resources are scarce during Capricorn season. That’s why Capricorn is associated with teamwork and saving what you have. But Taurus? Taurus is the sign of the lushest part of spring.

Capricorn is an extremely, extremely horny sign. It’s a sign that expresses itself through lack and lack is just another name for desire. Capricorn is associated with The Devil in the tarot, a card about addiction, and who does Capricorn pursue the hardest? Taurus.

And yes, Tauruses are beautiful. All Tauruses have a little something going for them in terms of sexual appeal. They are people who seem like they have something that you want. They smile when they know something you want to know, they moan when they taste something you want to taste, and they chill because they’re not worried about what they lack. That’s the impression that Taurus tends to give other people and Capricorns find Taurus irresistible. Taurus gives you the impression that they know how to give you pleasure.

To Capricorn, Taurus is unbearably sexy. There’s just something about those Tauruses that Capricorns can’t keep away from.

Taurus also likes Capricorn. The earth trine goes both ways. But there’s something else happening between Taurus and Capricorn that needs further explanation: Taurus is ruled by Venus while Capricorn is ruled by Saturn.

In astrology, Venus is the nocturnal benefic while Saturn is the diurnal malefic. These two planets have a special relationship because they tend to intensify one another whenever they come into contact. Think about it this way. Saturn is like bondage and restriction. Venus is pleasure. What happens to your sense of pleasure when someone puts a blindfold on you or ties you up?

Capricorn is emotionally, spiritually, and physically attracted to Taurus but what does Taurus feel in return? Taurus feels that Capricorn is familiar because of the earth trine for sure but Venus does not feel the same about Saturn that Saturn feels for Venus. Taurus feels provocative about Capricorn. They like to instigate. They like to tease and taunt.

Sometimes, you ask a Taurus about their Capricorn lover and their mouths are full of complaints. Taurus gets very prickly around Capricorns but that’s not an expression of dislike. It’s a flirtation tactic.

Why do Tauruses complain about their Capricorn lovers to turn them on?

First of all, Saturnians enjoy this. They like a little teasing because it makes them feel spicy. Taurus, as a Venusian, knows this and plays along. That’s the first reason. The second reason is because Venus wants to be pursued but Saturn is a still planet. Capricorns desire Taurus immensely but they do not always pursue what they want. In fact, Capricorn is the zodiac sign that very often refuses to pursue or even admit to what they want most at the moment.

When Capricorn really wants someone, when they really, really want someone, they wait. They will stay close by, not making a single move, and just wait.

Usually, Taurus knows when someone likes them. This is Venus we’re talking about. They can sense it and, the thing is, Taurus understands people who wait because Taurus also likes to wait. They like to take things super slow because they don’t like pressure.

Encountering someone else who likes to wait makes Taurus feel like they can play. That’s why Taurus becomes provocative and daring around a Capricorn. They want to make Capricorn laugh. They want to prove to Capricorn that they have a wild side.

Taurus loves pleasure and Capricorn loves denial. Taurus loves patience and Capricorn loves dedication. Taurus worships at the altar of satisfaction and Capricorn worships at the altar of desire.

So, Taurus and Capricorn relationships are slow but intense. They are heated and spicy. They’re hot relationships but they happen so slowly that the heat has nowhere to go except to linger. This isn’t the only time a Venus and Saturn duo trines—Libra and Aquarius also have this slow but exciting quality.

I focused a bit more on romantic, erotic love in this article than I usually do. Taurus and Capricorn are drawn to each other but what it means to turn someone on doesn’t have to be only romantic. You have to keep in mind that friends also turn each other on. Getting turned on isn’t just physical. It can be intellectual, spiritual, or emotional. Even your enemies can turn you on because your enemies can arouse fierce emotions out of you.

Not all Taurus and Capricorn relationships will be romantic but they will usually be arousing. With friendship, you might say that Taurus and Capricorn inspire one another. You might say that they inspire deep emotions in each other.

These two signs will wait for each other. I think that’s enough said. I think that waiting is such a primal part of love. You’ll wait for a friend if you really love them. You’ll wait for a lover but it will feel unbearable. Both Taurus and Capricorn are willing to wait for each other. They both expect the other to wait for them. That’s brutally romantic even if that’s not the nature of your relationship.
