Taurus Friendship Compatibility

Taurus Friendship Style

"Friends forever" is a cliche probably dreamed up by a Taurus. When it comes to friendship, once you're in with a Bull, you're in for life. Bulls aren't just loyal, they're also fun, with a witty streak that always keeps you laughing. They don't take friendship lightly, and remember birthdays, anniversaries, and other key events, often with a card or gifts. But it can be tough to get into a Taurus' inner circle. For one, they can be suspicious of outsiders, and may assume that someone has an agenda. Be honest with Taurus-they hate lies (even "you look amazing" white lies) and are suspicious of people who flatter them too much. Be real-disagreeing (respectfully!) with a Taurus and prompting a debate can go a long way toward becoming BFFs.

Best Friend Match for Taurus: Pisces

Emotional Pisces can help Taurus tap into their own emotional depths, while also being a no-BS support, shoulder to cry on, and friend to share adventures. Like Taurus, Pisces knows that an afternoon spent at home can be just as fulfilling as a Saturday jammed full of activity, and Pisces can help tame Taurus' notoriously stubborn streak. When the Bull and the Fish are out together, the you're a formidable combination: People are drawn to just how secure you both are in yourselves and you're both secure that together, you can make anything fun -- even laundry.

How to Make Friends with a Taurus

Be persistent. Taureans can be set in their ways, so deviating from their schedule can take some mental gymnastics. They may say no to your first offer to hit up a yoga class or grab a coffee, but if you like them, the second (or third) text will be a charm.

How to Stay Friends with a Taurus

Pay attention. Taureans value friendship and may feel snubbed if you space on life details that matter to them. Calendar reminders of birthdays and big events are key to keeping the Taurus in your life happy.

3 Reasons Why Taureans Make Great Friends

  1. Unflappable Taurus will help manage any crisis. Whether it's a breakup or a family shakeup, the Bull is there for you, making sure your fridge is full and your Netflix queue is orderly, leaving you to concentrate on the task at hand.
  2. Even if you've messed up, Taurus won't leave your side. And this sign is above drama. If there's any gossip swirling around you, trust that Taurus is keeping out of the fray.
  3. A Taurus is all about details. Don't be surprised if your Taurean friend remembers your dog's birthday-and provides a card and candles.
