Aries and Taurus Compatibility
Aries and Taurus bring fire and earth together. Below is how each sign loves, where you click and clash, what you are like in bed and day to day, and how you get on as friends and at work.
How Aries loves
Aries falls fast and says so, loves the chase and the first spark. In a relationship, Aries needs honesty, energy and a partner who can keep up, and shows love in its own warm, direct way.
How Taurus loves
Taurus takes time to commit but means it completely once they do. In a relationship, Taurus needs steadiness, touch, comfort and promises that are kept, and shows love in its own steady, practical way.
Where you click
Fire wants to leap and earth wants to check the ground first. The difference can be frustrating or very useful: fire brings courage and earth brings follow-through. The work is respecting each other's pace.
Neighbouring signs are different in almost every way, which can mean growth if you are both curious about the other. At your best, Aries is brave, loyal and the first to fight for the relationship and Taurus is devoted, sensual and calm in a crisis. Where those strengths meet is where this match clicks.
Where you clash
Aries can bring impatience and a quick temper when they feel held back, and Taurus can bring stubbornness and a slow response to change. On a bad day, those two habits set each other off.
Fire can feel held back and earth can feel rushed. Agree on a timetable before a big decision.
In bed and in daily life
Fire signs show desire openly: affection is playful, warm and spontaneous, and they like to feel wanted. Earth signs are physical and patient: touch, comfort and time matter more to them than grand gestures. The more you learn about the other's way of wanting, the better it gets.
Day to day, fire wants to say yes to everything and earth wants a plan. Split the roles: fire picks the adventure and earth makes it happen.
Friendship and work
As friends, you balance each other: fire gets earth out of the house and earth keeps fire out of trouble.
At work, fire starts and earth finishes. Respect each other's pace and you can achieve a great deal.
