Advice for Harmony
For this pairing to thrive in 2016's energy, compromise was key. Sagittarius needed to practice consistency and appreciate the comforts Taurus provides. Taurus benefited from occasionally stepping out of their comfort zone and giving Sagittarius space to explore. Finding a shared project or adventure that satisfied both the need for excitement and security was the ideal path forward.
Fire & Earth Dynamic
This is a classic elemental interaction. Fire (Sagittarius) can warm and inspire Earth (Taurus), making it more fertile and active. Conversely, Earth can provide fuel for Fire, but it can also smother it if it becomes too restrictive. In 2016, the challenge was to find the right balance where both elements supported rather than stifled each other.
