I love seeing photos of Elizabeth Taylor and MikeTodd together but yes, unfortunately, we (and they), did not get to see it past the honeymoon stage. I don’t think they would have settled into a real life routine - the majority of their relationship was spent on a tour to promote Todd’s ‘Around the World in 80 Day’s.’ Elizabeth Taylor’s presence would have been a big attraction to help promote that tour, which was shrewd of Todd to utilise his new found love like that - he was a showman/con artist type and Elizabeth Taylor had immense value, but I do also believe there was definitely genuine love there too.
Below is a link to their synastry chart. Looking at it, it doesn’t speak of anything behind what we already saw - with Venus-Jupiter and Sun-Jupiter connections and Venus conjunct Mars - there was a lot of love, fun, glamour and sex appeal, but nothing beyond that. I doubt very much it would have lasted beyond the honeymoon stage. His Saturn is in her 5th house which is a nice indication of being Father to one of her children though.
Elizabeth Taylor was still a child within herself during this relationship and Todd was the more dominant of the two - he spoke a lot more in interviews and ET was happy to take a back seat.
Compare this to her relationship with Richard Burton - she was the one in the driver’s seat, even though RB was a strong and powerful personality himself.
I think ET’s relationship with Mike Todd served its purpose of him bringing out the fire in her and she grew a lot with him, thanks to the power of love but, inevitably, as she grew further into a woman, the balance of power would have shifted and she would not have been happy taking a backseat forever.
The above is just conjecture, and fate played its hand and separated them and ET ended up growing as a person by Todd dying so early in their relationship. By the time she met RB, she was a woman in control.
Both Todd and Burton were volatile character’s and were both the real loves of ET’s life. Her father was an alcoholic with violent tendencies who knocked ET about a bit and she was attracted to violent men who would knock her about a bit too - there are numerous stories of this happening with Todd and Burton and she complained to her husband Eddie Fisher that he was not aggressive enough - he was soon replaced by Richard Burton.
In an archetypal sense, ET was a Queen, and she needed a King to knock her down a peg or two to keep her interest from waning.
Todd helped her to become a Queen and helped carve her image as that of a diva who loved diamond’s, but this would have led eventually to her wanting more power in their relationship and then it would have became even more volatile as the power balance shifted.
By the time she met RB - she was a woman and a queen.
