When Aries and Taurus come
together, the partnership is a natural union of Love, represented by Taurus, and
Passion, represented by Aries. This relationship is all about balance. If you
can give an Aries action, excitement and a fresh start, they you have a better
chance of getting their love and affection. If you can give a Taurus security,
beauty, nature and pleasure you have a better chance of getting their love and
affection.
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 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. When you're
involved with a Taurus, you're involved with a sensualist, a nature lover, an
indulger and a money lover. At heart, Aries is more of the self-starter. Taurus
has more of the power of persistence. Taurus may need for Aries to cool it from
time to time.
Mighty Mars in the Ram meets gentle Venus in the Bull. You seem to have much in
common, great determination, point-blank honesty and an appetite for life and
life's pleasures. However, clear differences will soon emerge. The Ram's
determination initiates and gets things done, but the Bull will take the bull's
own time to do things, stubbornly resisting any effort to push the pace.
Essentially, if Aries wants to be happy, Aries needs to be first and best.
Somehow, some way, Aries need to find a competitive outlet. On the other hand,
Taurus needs to be assured that everything's O.K., safe and secure. Once that's
taken care of Taurus is ready for gracious living. That is to say, Taurus needs
some good food, antique furniture and passionate sex. Taurus likes to touch nice
things, own nice things, wear nice things, eat nice things and have nice things.
For Taurus touch or the physical world is real and gives comfort. In fact, "I
Have" is something of a philosophy for Taurus.
The Ram is possessive and can be jealous with a loved one, as is the Bull. But
while you need to be the centre of your loved one's attention, you also love
freedom and independence. The Bull however wants to make you part of the fabric
of his or her security. Your Taurus lover can be happy at home with simple
routines and the comfort of daily life while you are a trail-blazer and long to
be off chasing the stars! Taurus loves to save, conserve and play safe, as you
would expect from an Earth Sign. The differences in your aspirations will need
examination otherwise the risks with love, with life and with spending that
appeal so much to you will become a source of frustration for your pet Bull.
Aries is here to start something new, to go where no one else has gone and to do
what no one else has done. The stars dare Aries to be a pioneer, a champion and
a doer. Sexually, Aries has got some naturally hot stuff. It is important that
Taurus acquire some mastery over the physical, practical and earthly world.
Then, also, Taurus must learn to let go. Taurus will only find security by
acquiring a sense of self that is separate from possessions. Aries the Ram is a
Fire Sign and Taurus the Bull is an Earth Sign. When Fire meets Earth, the
flames may scorch the surface only to discover the bedrock underneath! Conflict
can easily result. If you push your bullish partner, you will encounter a force
stronger than you over the long course, for persistence is rarely your strength.
Stop and re-examine the situation for, while the Bull is a placid creature
compared with the vigorous and volatile Ram, you will see few displays of
fireworks on this planet like the Bull who has been pushed too far and lost it.
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. 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.
In the bedroom, the Ram and the Bull are creatures of passion and fond of carnal
delight. However, after the first flush of romance the Bull will favour
prolonged enjoyment, whereas the Ram's fierceness can be a matter of the moment.
Learn how to please your more sensual partner, or pay the price. Overall, this
is a tricky match that will take learning and adjustment by both of you. Fire
and Earth that work well together can conquer the world with their joint
determination, both courageous and practical. But, if the mix doesn't gel, then
you'll leave yourselves with nowhere to turn, horns locked in a struggle over
differences that will not go away. This relationship involves a test of
patience.
