As friends and colleagues
Aries starts, Taurus finishes.
Where it goes wrong
Impatience against stubbornness.
Over time
How an Aries–Taurus relationship usually unfolds
- At first. Aries is impatient for an answer and Taurus takes its time; once Taurus commits, the attraction is warm and physical.
- Once settled. Taurus builds comfort and Aries keeps things moving; the rhythm works when Aries respects Taurus' slower pace.
- What keeps it working. Agreeing on a pace for big decisions in advance, so speed and caution are not fought out case by case.
Ruling planets
How each ruler fares in the other’s sign
Each ruler lands in detriment in the other’s sign — Mars in Taurus, Venus in Aries. In the classical scheme a planet in detriment works against its own nature, so each partner’s ruling planet sits on unfriendly ground; the two scores add up to −10.
