Libra moon and Taurus Moon a surprisingly good match?

[Arianna]

Normally people think that air and earth aren’t very compatible however I feel that Taurus’s get along very well with air signs as long as there is either air or fire in the moon and ascendent placements in someone’s chart. Along these lines I’ve been thinking lately that particularly a Libra moon and a Taurus moon might be a better match than one would think.

Correct me if I’m wrong but;

Those with Libra moons desire Harmony, stability and are generally very fair and kind. They are society oriented and care about interactions with groups of people. Libra moons like other air moons maintain their distance despite being involved in other people lives due to their tendency towards objectivity and away from emotionality.

Taurus moons are also quite sociable but unlike the Libra moons often find themselves deeply embedded into close knit friend groups. I think that being that both are inclined to be somewhat of socialites,although in different aspects, give them a yin and yang dynamic. Depending on other areas in ones chart this may be good for avoiding jealousy or competition.

A libra moon like a Taurus moon deeply cares about material comfort for different reasons than a Libra being that Taurus simply love well made goods and desire the stability and comfort that wealth brings. However in a long term partnership they could both strive towards attaining wealth and luxury. Having this shared goal of luxury and a wide circle of friends could be vary harmonious.

Obviously the Libra moon might leave the Taurus moon feeling neglected as libras can be a little more selfish but I also think that Libra moons like to shower those they care about in gifts which the Taurus moon would appreciate.

Ideally to balance things out I could see alternating air earth and fire placements being beneficial.

For example

(Aquarius Sun + Taurus Moon + Aries asendent)

With

(Aries Sun + Libra Moon + Taurus asendent)

Sorry if this was really specific I have just been trying to become a better astrologer by looking at Birth charts from a more wholistic approach rather than breaking it down by the compatibility of each individual component of someone’s chart.

I see where you are coming from and I think this relates to the planetary friendships of the signs. People seldom consider how the signs planetary ruler is the prime reasoning behind their symbolism and the other descriptors alter or specify how they’ll act. Both Taurus and Libra are Venusian signs and thus have a base similarity in that their primary function is about partnerships, the arts and ones capacity for enjoyment. What differentiates them is their modality and element, but they still both are desiring for happiness, fulfillment, enjoyment, etc. So they should get along at a basic level.

Imo, I’m more of the belief that the air & earth elements get along better in terms of friendship and family as opposed to the opposing elements. Similarly, fire & water. It all comes down to the planetary rulers. Notice how for both Taurus & Libra, both a Mercury and Saturn sign rules a trine and are also friends to Venus. Thus, despite being square, averse or quincux, there is an underlying friendship or understanding between signs like Taurus and Gemini, Libra and Capricorn or even Aquarius and Virgo as an example since the rulers get along at a fundamental level. We can even use planetary friendships to assess dignities like Venus in Gemini being a good dignity because it’s in a friend’s sign that can facilitated interaction and thus relationships; however, there are exceptions to the rule like Venus in Virgo being debilitated or Mars in Cancer.

I’m a Taurus moon dealing with Libra moon, he could honestly go choke on a lego!

It’s a common belief that our interactions with people have to do with personality traits and behaviors. That’s somewhat true, but it’s not what astrology teaches. Astrological relationships are about people’s energy, which comes across even when they’re doing almost nothing. Have you ever been irritated by someone who wasn’t doing anything? Or felt a connection with someone for no reason? That’s energy without any behavior.

Another reason to ignore behavior traits is you can change those. If I know you are compatible with Geminis, I could mimic Gemini traits and if I’m a good actor, I could do it well enough to convince you that’s my personality. But I wouldn’t actually have real Gemini energy, so it wouldn’t work. That’s because I have adopted the behavior, but that does give me Gemini energy.

When we’re talking about synastry, we’re talking about two energies. What you are describing is two patterns of behavior, which is different. Libra and Taurus might behave in similar ways, but that doesn’t change the fact that they have very different energy.

In the example of a Libra giving gifts to the Taurus—sure, they would probably appreciate the gifts. But that gesture will never really be able to make the Taurus feel truly understood, because the energy isn’t right.

I’m in a long-term relationship as Taurus Moon with Libra Moon! I think that we understand each other but it’s true that the longer we are together, the more I feel kinda different energy, as someone said in the comments. However, our other two big aspects are fiery and they balance it, I guess?

I think you’re looking at the surface level traits of the signs as opposed to their relationship – while inconjunctions are considered a relatively minor aspect, I have found that they’re very significant in relationships, and Libra and Taurus are inconjunct signs. The closer you get to an actual inconjunction, the more these energies will be fundamentally different to each other – and with your moon signs, this can be pretty damning, as your emotional needs are simply fundamentally different and cannot be reconciled to one another.

For a personal example, I had my Virgo Mercury and Scorpio Mars inconjunct my ex’s Aries Mercury – despite our moons being conjunct and it being one of the closest relationships I’d formed, we had the worst communication I have *ever* experienced. We would try to explain ourselves to each other and it would do nothing except make us more upset and frustrated; our ability to communicate was just fundamentally not there, and I would go as far as to say those aspects sunk the relationship as a whole. And you’re looking at a similar dynamic here, except with emotions, which are in my opinion much more fundamental to relationships than communication. Libra is a free flowing natural romantic, while Taurus is stubborn and very domestic – are they both romantics? Yes. But in very, very different fashions. My guess is that Libra would seem vain and shallow to Taurus, while Taurus might seem unaffectionate and dense to Libra.

But as others have said, them both being Venus ruled may make for a better understanding, especially if there’s supporting aspects – but I don’t think it’s an inherently good pairing.

Thats funny you listed my exact 3, aquarius sun, taurus moon and Aries rising lol.

[Miss_Anne_]

Couples with signs who share similar rulers are actually VERY common around me. Virgo-Gemini, Taurus-Libra, Aries-Scorpio & so on…

But as someone said they do better as family members & friends than lovers. But sometimes even that where some other planets & aspects are harmonious

[Morganite06]

I am a Pisces Sun, Aries Rising, Libra Moon who dated a Cancer Sun, Cancer Rising, Taurus Moon for a long time. We were good friends as a couple but sometimes I did feel as if he was too stiff for my airy emotions. But the water in our chart helped sometimes.

[bunnyamelie]

I’m a Gemini sun, Taurus moon and Cancer rising.

My partner is a Scorpio sun, Libra moon, and Leo rising.

We’ve been dating for 2 years, and I agree (biased ik lol) that it’s a good match. Also lots of my friends are also libra moon.

[air-anaretic]

I have a Taurus Moon and my OH of almost 17 years has a Libra Moon. However, my Taurus Moon is conjunct his Taurus Sun and his Libra Moon trines my Aquarius Sun. In addition, I have Leo rising and he has an Aries Venus whilst he has Capricorn rising and I have a Capricorn Mars.
