When Aries and Taurus Come Together

When Aries and Taurus come together, the partnership is a natural union of Love, represented by Taurus, and Passion, represented by Aries. This relationship represents balance. Aries wants to jump into the relationship, and Taurus wants to go more slowly. An Aries-Taurus partnership can be a great learning experience for both Signs. Taurus can help rein in some of Aries more over-the-top impulses, and Aries can help Taurus be more spontaneous and adventurous.

Taurus is sensual, patient, and gentle. Aries is attracted to the Taurus sensuality, and Taurus can be Aries' rock, forever stable and loyal. From Aries, Taurus can gain a willingness to take the risks in life that lead to true happiness. Taurus is more reserved and practical, while Aries is impulsive and assertive. These Signs are a good balance for each other -- both can teach each other. Sometimes Aries might try to push Taurus into making hasty decisions, but the Bull can usually calm Aries and convince them to slow down a bit. Aries brings excitement to the relationship, while Taurus brings security and romance. When Aries wants instant gratification, Taurus can show the importance of deliberate consideration.

Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars, and Taurus is ruled by the Planet Venus. The two Signs coming together form the basic foundation of relationships -- love and passion. Venus and Mars go well together. The symbols are universally recognized as masculine and feminine, so this relationship is a good balance of masculine and feminine energy.

Aries is a Fire Sign and Taurus is an Earth Sign. Aries wants to take charge of their own destiny, while Taurus needs to be assured of security and stability. Sometimes Taurus can be possessive, which can chafe on independent Aries. When Taurus understands that the relationship is strong, they will be more accepting of the Aries need for freedom; Aries needs to reassure Taurus that they are loved and important. Aries is a Cardinal Sign, and Taurus is a Fixed Sign. In this relationship, Aries is not going to get their own way no matter how hard they try. Taurus is a Fixed Sign that won’t budge so Aries needs to understand this trait in Taurus. Both Signs want to be the leader in the relationship, so once again compromise is important. Instead of feeling confined, Aries can learn to have better judgment and to think things through before acting; Taurus can learn to be more spontaneous and discover greater excitement in life.

The best aspect of the Aries-Taurus relationship is the passionate nature of the partnership. This is an excellent balance of energy between masculine and feminine, impulsive and deliberate. Their contrasting personalities and ability to learn from one another make theirs a mutually giving relationship.
