The dynamic
How Aries and Taurus get on
Aries and Taurus are next to each other in the zodiac, 30° apart. Astrologers call this a semi-sextile. Aries is a fire sign and Taurus is an earth sign, so your temperaments are different. Each of you is good at something the other finds hard. On some days this feels like help, and on other days it feels like criticism.
Love · Steady
In love
Love grows slowly here. It feels familiar and a little awkward at first, and then surprisingly close. In a relationship, Aries looks for honesty, some challenge and the chance to lead. Taurus looks for stability, physical affection and actions rather than promises.
Friendship · Steady
As friends
As friends, Aries is the one who suggests the plan and makes it happen. Taurus is the one who cooks the good dinner and remembers everything. You see each other’s weak points clearly. That is useful if you speak kindly.
Work · Flow
At work
At work, Aries gets results by acting first and correcting mistakes later. Taurus gets results by working slowly and finishing properly. Aries is a cardinal sign, so it likes to start projects. Taurus is a fixed sign, so it likes to keep them going. Problems come when Aries wants to change direction and Taurus does not.
Making it work
Three things to try
- Ask before you give advice. Help can feel like criticism to the other person.
- Watch for impatience from Aries and stubbornness from Taurus.
