Taurus belongs to the element of Earth and moves through life in the Fixed mode, ruled by Venus. Sagittarius belongs to the element of Fire and moves in the Mutable mode, ruled by Jupiter.
Fire wants to move fast; earth wants to move surely. This is the most common source of friction in fire–earth pairings, and it is also where the growth lives. One partner teaches momentum, the other teaches patience.
The fixed partner holds the frame; the mutable partner fills it with colour. A balanced rhythm — but the fixed partner should try not to read the mutable partner's flexibility as indifference.
One sign is active, the other receptive — the classic complementary polarity that most astrological literature treats as a natural fit. One of you leads the outward motion, the other holds the inner world.
