Taurus with Aries

Start with the two perspectives

From the Taurus side, the profile emphasizes patience, loyalty and a feel for the tangible. The Aries profile adds initiative, courage and directness. Start by asking where those descriptions match the way each person actually likes to communicate and make plans.

Elements and everyday connection

Taurus belongs to Earth, associated with routines and tangible commitments. Aries belongs to Fire, associated with initiative and enthusiasm. Compare what each person means by support. One may want a conversation while the other starts making a plan.

Pace and shared plans

The fixed mode of Taurus emphasizes sustaining an effort and protecting continuity. The cardinal mode of Aries emphasizes beginning a task and setting a direction. Decide how you will start, maintain and revise a shared plan.

A conversation to try

On the Taurus side, notice staying with a familiar arrangement after it has stopped working. On the Aries side, notice rushing a decision or turning every disagreement into a contest. Discuss one recent example without assigning the other person a motive.

Ask what would make the next conversation easier. Use a specific request and give the other person time to answer.
