Neighbouring signs see the world differently, so the attraction takes work to grow.

Aries and Taurus in love

Fire is spontaneous and earth is steady, so the attraction comes from difference – and so do the arguments.

Aries loves with energy and honesty: quick to fall for someone, happiest with a partner who enjoys a challenge and keeps up the pace. Taurus loves slowly and for keeps: loyal, affectionate and fond of comfort, good food and a settled routine together.

As friends

Fire gets earth out of the house; earth helps fire keep its feet on the ground.

At work

A useful mix if fire sets the pace and earth handles the plan. One starts things (cardinal) and one sees them through (fixed): a good division of labour if neither tries to rule.

  • Aries brings: brave, enthusiastic and honest. Taurus brings: reliable, patient and devoted.
