A fish and a bull might not seem like a love match, but Pisces and Taurus actually make a solid pair. They’re quite different—Pisces is a mutable water sign and Taurus is a fixed earth sign—but in ways that complement each other. In fact, water and earth signs mesh well together because they’re what astrologers call “congenial elements.” Let’s talk more about what makes Pisces and Taurus a good match.

Pisces and Taurus: Personality Traits
These are two of the chillest signs of the zodiac. (And the most likely to fit the stoner archetype, too.) These two are happy to kick back, relax, and vibe with each other. However, they do have some differences. Pisces is one of the most imaginative and creative signs of the zodiac; they’re often said to have their heads in the clouds. And while Taurus definitely has a creative side, too, their feet are planted firmly on the ground—they’re one of the most practical signs of the zodiac. They have different approaches to handling conflict, too. Taurus is very decisive and stubborn, while Pisces is… less so. However, as you might guess, these differences complement each other—meaning these two are likely to get along in many different contexts.
Pisces and Taurus: Friendship Compatibility
These two are the type of friends who would love to just hang out on the couch, watch TV, and talk for hours. They’re happiest when they’re relaxed, and tend to prefer low-key hangs. Pisces’ creative side and Taurus’s love of luxury and the arts mean that they might also share a creative hobby—like painting or cooking—or enjoy hangs that inspire their imaginations, like a visit to an art museum or a walk in a beautiful garden. Conflict between this pair is minimal; Taurus might get frustrated by what they see as Pisces’s flakiness, while Pisces might roll their eyes at Taurus’s stubbornness, but Pisces’ go-along-to-get-along nature means that they’ll likely move on easily.
Pisces and Taurus: Sexual Compatibility
These are two of the most romantic signs of the zodiac, and for them, sex is all about emotional bonding and shared pleasure. While this pair might not have the most wild or varied sex life in the zodiac, they’re very happy with their sex lives, thank you very much. Pisces and Taurus are both happy to come back to their favorite positions, kinks, and toys again and again—if it ain’t broken, no need to fix it. When these two get into bed together, you can expect cuddles, erotic massages, and gazing into each other’s eyes.
Pisces and Taurus: Relationship Compatibility
You know how I said these two are some of the most romantic signs of the zodiac? Yeah. Red roses, handwritten love notes, mushy-gushy poetry… the works. These two pull out all the stops when they’re wooing each other early in their relationship, but they don’t let the romance die after they DTR, either. These two know the importance of regular date nights and weekend getaways or staycations. Romance is a priority for them, no matter what else is going on.
Pisces and Taurus: Marriage Compatibility
These two signs are both ready to commit. Once they’ve found the one they love, they’re ready to tie the knot (after they’ve found the perfect floral arrangements, of course). Pisces and Taurus form a sweet and supportive long-term bond. They both value love, trust, and romance, and Taurus’s stability provides a nice balance to Pisces’s whimsical nature.
Pisces and Taurus: Compatibility Summary
Earth signs and water signs go together like a watering can nurturing a beautiful garden. While these two have their differences, they complement each other. Both are romantic, creative, and loyal, which means they’ll make an excellent match in any capacity.
