Aries and Taurus in love
In love there's an attraction to what's different: Fire brings passion and adventure, Earth constancy. The challenge is rhythm — one wants it now, the other wants it certain.
In friendship and work
In friendship and work they divide things up well: one opens the way and the other sustains it to the end.
Why they get along this way
Element — Drive and pragmatism. Fire pushes Earth to take risks; Earth helps Fire make things concrete. If they don't respect each other's timing, one feels held back and the other rushed.
Rhythm. Aries is cardinal — inicia — and Taurus is fixed — sostiene. Different rhythms: what one doesn't do, the other can.
Polarity. Aries is Yang and Taurus is Yin: one goes outward and the other inward, and that balances them or pulls them apart.
Rulers. Aries is ruled by Mars (action and desire); Taurus, by Venus (affection and pleasure).
What each one brings
Aries: initiative and leadership, courage and energy and enthusiasm.
Taurus: determination, patience and loyalty.
Where they can clash
Aries: impatience, impulsiveness and a tendency toward confrontation.
Taurus: stubbornness, resistance to change and materialism.
How to look after the bond
Give yourselves time to get to know each other: what seems incompatible at first is often exactly what the other has to teach.
