You Guys Confuse Me

No offense.

My own mother is a Taurus, and we get along sometimes but she is mostly impossible to deal with. I try to limit the contact I have in order to avoid any flareups. She can be very emotional and also extremely stubborn. Very frustrating.

One of my good friends is a Taurus guy, and he's a smart guy, mostly funny and fun to be around...but he can also be a huge a**. It can be extremely grating...he loves to argue, will start arguments for no reason, and will frequently try to embarrass people in public...not cool. He can be pretty cool sometimes, but a lot of times it seems his arrogance gets in the way.

Finally, one of my best friends is a Taurus woman. She's honestly one of the people I could tell anything to, and we get along very well. However, I feel frustrated because she makes lots of bad decisions in her own life and doesn't seem to learn from her mistakes. It's hard to watch this happen over and over again. I try to help, and she always listens and appreciates advice, but then never seems to follow through on it. I wish there was something I could say to help her out.

Taurus people are definitely some of the more striking I've ever met, I can pick them out of a crowd, especially the women. I seem to have a magnet on my back that attracts earth-sign people, so maybe that's part of it. I'm a Sag guy btw. Just think it's interesting to look at how different people can act.

"Every Sag (including the extroverted and the introverted ones) is at heart a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed optimist, who inwardly believes that everything will come out in the wash, then cries great, dramatic tears when it doesn't — which serves him (or her) right for expecting too much out of Life, as far as Taurus is concerned."

LMAO....Too funny!

Taurus are risk takers....but it's more methodical, cautionary, detailed, and less impulsive.

And yes, when things don't turn out as planned, we take it in stride, learn from the lesson, take full responsibility, and get right back on the horse silently....

No dramatic displays from us.

Now get back to work and 'quitchurbitchin' son.

I always thought that Bulls had a calming effect on those 'fiery, impulsive archers.' 😉

I didn't write that RainDancer, hence the quote.

The whole article is a pretty good read: http://horoscopespot.net/taurus-sagittarius-compatibility/

But yeah, Taurus and Sag are inconjunct. It can be an interesting clash of energies, not necessarily bad. I'm chill with Sag suns. Kinda neutral. They make for good casual company to me.

^ ah, yes. My impulsive behavior eludes even I, forgive me 😛

And this is why Taurus and Sag clash, lol! No probs. 🙂

@Tavrine, I'm actually not too sure, mother seems to be Aries moon from what I can find although not sure 100% . The male friend seems to be Leo, the female friend is Gemini, nailed that one. These are all approximate, as I'm not sure what time of day they were born or exactly where but I'm pretty sure they're right.

The male friend and I either get along really well or not at all...although there always seems to be this barrier between us. I know when it comes down to it, he would never do anything to hurt me, but he can be a huge pain in the ass. We've had a few fights and usually just forget about it after. Feels awkward but neither of us likes to talk about serious things with each other.

My mother seems crazy sometimes...same type of relationship honestly, either getting along fairly well or fighting intensely. Not too much in between. Also somewhat of a barrier there although mostly of my doing if I'm honest.

Female friend has been there for many years now, we've had 3 really huge falling-outs (is that proper grammar) since we met, but each time we become friends again. 2 of them were due to romantic feelings being misinterpreted (or more, if I'm honest, her inability to deal with her feelings for me). However, we're fine now and I think we've finally figured out what this relationship should be.

Mother is 50, male friend is 23, female friend is 25. I'm in the middle.

I think Sag and Taurus can get along great so long as the Taurus person can learn to take criticism and be a little more adaptable. Also as a Sag I guess joking around sometimes isn't acceptable to some Taurus people. They don't like to be embarrassed or made fun of, even though some like to do that to other people. This is just my experience so far.

LOL, if there's a need for change on someone's part for a relationship to work betw. a Sag and Taurus, its not going to be the Taurus (sign least capable of change) over the Sag (sign most capable of change IMO).

^Perhaps...but usually when we "change" it's more like personal growth...however we never really stop being who we are (which is many things, admittedly). I think you just have to find ones who happen to be set in a way that aligns with you...then it works great. I'd say my female friend is like that, we're like the same person honestly. It's strange almost.

I think Sags have an extremely adaptable identity....They can pretty much become whoever they want to, which is dictated largely by whatever they think others want them to be - whatever will earn them respect/recognition.

Sags can be "anybody you want them to be", that's true. Read that often. However (as hard as it may be to believe haha) deep down inside of us there is a person with a set of interests, beliefs, and values...and if we can't be that person at least some of the time and have to pretend to be something else full-time, it's basically suicide.

@Curiousram That's exactly it, haha. Just arguments out of nowhere. It's quite astonishing. My male friend is like that too, if you can think of a topic that exists he will think of a way to disagree with you about it. In a rare moment of self-examination he admitted that he does this on purpose because he likes to argue. I don't have a problem with that, as a Sag I like to argue too, but you better be willing to admit your motives. I usually do it because I have a deeply held opinion that I've come to through much studying on the subject...some people just do it to be assholes haha.
