Aries and Taurus Compatibility

An Aries woman and a Taurus man make worthy allies and every bit as worthy rivals! She's forever testing her Taurus to see how much he can take, and he's one of the few signs in the zodiac who can simply ignore her attempts to lock horns over every little thing.

Love and Dating

No man tames a headstrong Aries woman quite like a Taurus. Where he can give ground, he does; where he can't, he delivers a "No!" so firm that she instantly loses any desire to push. And this couple has one more undeniable advantage: Taurus knows how to savor the very traits in an Aries woman that drive other men up the wall, namely her hot temper, her cockiness and her fearlessness. He knows that in the heat of the moment the woman he loves can hurt not only him but herself, yet he forgives her a great deal.

Sexual Compatibility

In bed, an Aries woman and a Taurus man are highly compatible, since both love sensual pleasure, but on their first dates they need a little time to get used to each other's habits. Her idea of passion is a fierce onslaught: she dreams of a lover who hauls her off to the bedroom with the enthusiasm of a predator. Taurus, on the other hand, votes for slow, unhurried intimacy and would rather start the evening with her doing a striptease for him or with a relaxing erotic massage. Bliss comes easily to these two. All they have to do is learn to talk openly about what they want.

Relationships and Family

How do you spot a Taurus man and an Aries woman in a crowd? Easy! From the outside, it usually looks as if she's the one running the show. Taurus is a gentleman who lets the lady go first and makes no attempt to rein in his energetic partner's natural get-up-and-go, which gives a misleading picture of the balance of power between them. But look a little closer and you'll see that things aren't quite what they seem. The secret is that next to her rugged Taurus, the Aries woman positively blossoms, feeling his support and strength, and he delights in watching her bloom without trying to outshine her.

Once they share a life, an Aries woman and a Taurus man want many of the same things: both are ready to work hard for the family's sake, and both put the children's needs first. Early on, Taurus is sometimes the one more focused on home while his fiery partner thinks more about her career, but only until the little ones arrive.

The Aries woman is happy to accept her Taurus's care but isn't nearly as eager to give it back, and that sometimes leaves him with grievances: he wants just as much affection and attention in return. On top of that, she can sometimes push him too hard. For her part, the Aries woman isn't always thrilled that her husband is so set in his ways and so short on ambition.

And then there's the fact that these two live at different speeds: she's always on the move, while he takes his time. That leads to everyday skirmishes. The Aries woman can get bored with her Taurus man, and he complains every so often that he never gets any peace. To keep the tension down, they need an occasional break from each other: she should get together with her girlfriends, and he should have a hobby that truly absorbs him.

A Taurus woman with an Aries man is a fearless tiger tamer stepping into the ring with a dangerous beast. True, other signs of the zodiac sometimes think twice before getting involved with an explosive Aries. But the Taurus woman has a stoic calm that lets her focus on the very best in this man: she admires his sincerity, his courage, and his energy.

Love and Dating

From the very start of their romance, the Taurus woman and Aries man are moving at different speeds. He wants all of her, right now; she needs time to really get to know him. Hot-headed as he is, he may give up the chase quickly, or he may spook her with some over-the-top stunt, like serenading her under her window or painting a declaration of love on the sidewalk outside her building.

That kind of romance can backfire with a sensible Taurus woman: she's liable to block him on every device she owns. This practical girl would take help around the house over a million roses any day. What a Taurus woman wants most in a man is reliability, so to win her heart, an Aries has to spend a long time proving he's serious.

Sexual Compatibility

In bed, the Taurus woman and Aries man run into the same problem they have everywhere else in the relationship. She's forever reining in her overeager Aries, so much so that they could hang a motto over the bed: "Hold on a second!" Still, their sex life usually finds its rhythm over time. Both partners love the pleasures of the flesh, and both know how to make each other feel good.

Relationships and Family

If you ever spot a couple in a crowd, a flashy, talkative man and a composed woman keeping a slightly anxious eye on how her partner is behaving, always ready to soften his sharp remarks or back up his points with arguments of her own, chances are you're looking at an Aries man and a Taurus woman. Even when she disapproves of what her man is doing, a Taurus won't show her disagreement in public, so to the outside world the Aries–Taurus couple presents a united front.

In day-to-day life together, the Taurus woman and Aries man are highly compatible. An Aries man can become the rock a Taurus woman has been looking for. She gives her ambitious husband a secure home base, and he's willing to work tirelessly for the good of the family.

Of course, living with a self-centered Aries who's used to making everything about himself isn't easy, so the couple runs on something like a loyalty-points program: his wife says nothing for a long time, the points quietly pile up, and then one day Aries gets to cash them in for a spectacular chewing-out! A shake-up like this usually does the couple nothing but good. Afterward they live in perfect harmony for a long stretch, proving an obvious truth: for all their differences, the Taurus woman and Aries man make a strong and very happy couple.
