Scores are calculated from sun-sign astrology alone: the angle between the two signs on the zodiac wheel, their elements and their modalities. A full birth chart includes the Moon, Venus, Mars and the houses, and can shift this picture considerably.
Taurus and Aquarius — the verdict
The square between the wheel's two most immovable signs. Taurus wants the known; Aquarius wants the unprecedented. Both refuse to be moved, so this is less a clash of opinions than a clash of certainties. It can work when each stops trying to convert the other — Aquarius keeps the relationship from ossifying, Taurus keeps it from floating away.
