Aries and Taurus Compatibility
Aries and Taurus compatibility: a fast starter and a calm stayer who learn each other's pace.
Aries is a fire sign, Taurus an earth sign. Aries is cardinal, Taurus fixed. Neighbouring signs in the zodiac (30°). Ruling planets: Mars (Aries), Venus (Taurus).
Aries and Taurus sit next to each other in the zodiac, so they form a semisextile. A fire sign meets an earth sign: one wants to act now, the other wants to think first. Mars rules Aries, Venus rules Taurus. Aries hurries, Taurus enjoys and refuses to be hurried. At first they have little in common, but the difference sparks curiosity. Each sees in the other what they lack.
Love and relationship
In love, Aries is drawn to Taurus's calm and Taurus to Aries's courage. Aries starts things, Taurus stays. In daily life Aries wants adventure, Taurus a cosy evening at home. Aries needs to feel admired, Taurus needs security and touch. If Aries learns to slow down and Taurus sometimes gives way, balance appears. Otherwise one waits while the other fidgets with impatience.
Friendship
As friends, Aries pulls Taurus out of the house and Taurus teaches Aries to pause. They go hiking and out to eat together, though they choose the place and pace for different reasons. The friendship holds because they do not compete on the same field. Aries values Taurus's loyalty, Taurus values Aries's directness. Shared interests are few at first, so plans must be made on purpose. In time they become a reliable pair.
Work and money
At work, Aries suits the starter role and Taurus the finisher role. Aries launches the project, Taurus carries it through. With money Aries is impulsive and Taurus careful, so they argue over spending. Decisions are slow, because Taurus wants to calculate and Aries wants to decide now. Deadlines help: Aries gets speed, Taurus gets a clear frame. Once roles are agreed, they work well, though not always fast.
Where it rubs
Quarrels usually start with pace. Aries says Taurus drags things out, Taurus answers that Aries does not listen. Aries rushes ahead and forgets agreements. Taurus stubbornly holds its view and goes quiet for a week. Money and decorating the home are the sore spots. Fixed Taurus does not give way and cardinal Aries cannot stand waiting. So a small squabble lasts longer than either wants.
Advice
Agree in advance how fast a decision has to be made. Say clearly what you need, and ask the other the same. If you are Aries, give Taurus one day to think before big decisions. If you are Taurus, make a quick choice now and then without long calculating, and see what happens. Plan one adventure and one calm evening each week, so each gets their own.
