What a combination. It’s love and passion. But the secret is the speed of the relationship. There’s the passionate and impatient Aries rearing to go alongside the loving but conservative Taurus who prefers a gradual development of the romance. Taurus resists change and needs to be wooed.

The beauty of this mix is that both can learn from the other. Aries can learn to be less flighty and more responsible and Taurus can loosen up and learn to grab life by the scruff of the neck. It’s a heady mix of excitement and reliability, of passion and love.

One tip is for Aries to assure Taurus that Aries will not stray. Once the reliable Taurus is sure of the fidelity of Aries, Taurus can start to loosen up and move more willingly into the romance. But remember that Taurus is a rock solid stickler for their point of view and Aries will never win a slanging match. Much better to use charm and finesse.

These signs make for a difficult match and any relationship can end abruptly. The secret is to make concessions, to bend to the other’s needs and wishes. If they get the balance right, it’s a wonderful pairing.

‘Patience is a virtue’ has never been more true in making an Aries and Taurus partnership work and work well
