Aries and Taurus compatibility

How your signs connect

Neighbours (30°). Neighbouring signs have little in common on paper, so this pairing is about learning. Each of you is what the other is not, which can be refreshing or puzzling.

Fire and earth

Fire brings excitement and earth brings staying power. Fire can find earth too slow and earth can find fire reckless, but each has what the other lacks: fire gets earth moving, earth gives fire something solid to stand on.

Pace and temperament

One starts things (cardinal) and one keeps them going (fixed): a good team when the starter respects the keeper's pace.

Aries and Taurus in love

Aries brings spark, courage and the push to actually start; Taurus brings calm, comfort and a promise that holds. In love Aries chases. They fall fast, say it out loud and want a partner who can keep up, push back and still laugh about it afterwards. In love Taurus is slow to start and very hard to lose. Expect devotion, physical affection and dinners that are planned weeks ahead.

Friendship and work

Watch out for

Aries: impatience, a quick temper, losing interest once the chase is over. Taurus: stubbornness, resisting change, holding on too long. Most fights between Aries and Taurus come from these, so laugh about them early.
