When Aries and Taurus come together in a love affair, the
partnership is a natural union of Love, represented by Taurus, and
Passion, represented by Aries. This relationship is all about balance.
Aries wants to jump right in and get into it, while Taurus prefers to
go
much more slowly. This can create a problem; Taurus loves to be wooed
and romanced -- two concepts that are basically foreign to
straightforward, brash, totally unsubtle Aries. An Aries-Taurus
partnership can be a great learning experience for both Signs. Taurus
can help Aries rein in some of the more foolish, impractical impulses,
and Aries can help Taurus be more spontaneous and adventurous.
Taurus is sensual, patient and gentle. Aries is attracted to
these qualities; Aries sees Taurus as their rock, totally stable and
loyal forever. Taurus sees Aries as possessing that quality they want
more of -- knowing when and how to grab on to life's opportunities.
These Signs are a good balance for each other. Aries might sometimes
play games with Taurus, playing off that Bullish laziness, or try to
push Taurus into making hasty decisions, but the Bull can usually
convince the Ram 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 just how sexy and sensual slow,
deliberate movement can be.
Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars
(passion), and Taurus is ruled by the Planet Venus (love). Venus and
Mars go well together; they represent the two necessary halves of the
same relationship coin. The symbols are universally recognized as
masculine and feminine, so this relationship is a good balance of these
energies.
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 independent Aries won't tolerate. If Aries can assure Taurus
that
the relationship is strong and that Aries isn't going anywhere, Taurus
can be as flexible and tolerant of independence as Aries needs them to
be.
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 -- so it's a much better idea not to try at all. Taurus is a
Fixed Sign that won't budge; Aries will get much further with finesse
and charm (Taurus is a real sucker for both) than with argument, since
Taurus never loses a debate. Both Signs want to be the leader in the
relationship, so compromise is essential.
What's the best
aspect
of the Aries-Taurus relationship? 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 and
satisfying relationship.
