Aries and Taurus compatibility

Taurus
Apr 20 – May 20
Aries and Taurus are one sign apart (30°, a semi-sextile)
Neighbors with different styles
Aries pushes forward while Taurus plants its feet. The attraction is physical and real; the friction comes from pace, so Aries must slow down and Taurus must try something new.
Why: the angle between Aries and Taurus
Aries and Taurus are one sign apart (30°, a semi-sextile). Neighboring signs differ in element, modality and polarity. Each sign is traditionally seen as a reaction to the one before it, so you can learn a lot from each other, but your instincts rarely line up on their own.

Where it works and where it rubs
Elements. Fire wants to move now; Earth wants to plan and keep. You can achieve a great deal together if speed and caution are seen as strengths rather than criticism.
Modalities. A Cardinal sign starts things and a Fixed sign sustains them: a good division of labor if neither tries to control the other.
Polarity. One active (Fire or Air) and one receptive (Earth or Water) sign: your basic energies complement rather than mirror each other.
How each of you loves

♉︎ Taurus
Taurus loves slowly and steadily, showing affection through touch, food and time.

Go beyond Sun signs
Two Aries–Taurus couples can be completely different, because compatibility depends on the whole chart: how your Moons, Venus and Mars connect, and your Ascendants if you know your birth times. Compare your full charts
