Aries Man & Taurus Woman Compatibility: Perfect Match?

The best match for an Aries man is a woman who is confident and independent. So why wouldn’t a Taurus woman be his ideal partner? Their priorities and lifestyles don’t match.

An Aries man is athletic, outgoing, decisive, impulsive, and passionate. A Taurus woman is subdued, patient, slow-moving, and cautious. His frenetic energy is dizzying to a Taurus woman.

After very little time together, it becomes clear they have almost no common ground. Besides, each may insist on always having their way all the time.

Friendship

The average Aries male’s traits make it difficult to even maintain a friendship with a Taurus woman.

If this pair becomes friends, it is usually in a work situation or because they have mutual friends. The more distant their relationship is, the easier it will be for them to ignore their many differences.

When trying to make plans, he will jump into action immediately and will decide on what they should do based on what he wants.

A Taurus woman will tolerate this once or twice. In time, she’ll get irritated with his tendency of speaking and acting on her behalf without really taking the time to get to know her.

He will find her reaction insulting, as he genuinely thinks he’s being benevolent by micromanaging her life. Even if this pair agrees on a common plan, he will show up early or on time and she will run late.

He’ll feel disrespected if she doesn’t immediately embrace his ideas or opinions. Often, she just wants to do her own research and make her own decisions. He will interpret this as a personal rejection.

Ironically, both tend to act tough but can be highly sensitive. They may constantly miscommunicate because neither is great at speaking their mind.

Instead, they both have a habit of expecting the other to read their minds. They both assume everyone else thinks as they do and neither sees a need to explain themselves to the other.

This can lead to many arguments, misunderstandings and disagreements. An Aries man will go on the defensive quickly.

A Taurus woman will let her anger simmer, but she will eventually lash out in self-defense. Both are territorial and may not fully trust each other’s motives.

He is competitive and naturally thinks others should either help him succeed. If they don’t, he assumes they are sabotaging him.

She may promote his ideas or care about his success, but she has her own dreams and is too independent to drop everything and cater to him.

They are more likely to fight constantly than they are to take the energy to sustain a solid friendship.

On rare occasions when they are able to work through their differences, they can be loyal to each other.

Relationship

If this pair tries to date, it can turn disastrous early on. The only reason they may continue a romantic relationship is out of pure stubbornness.

Most of the time, this pair will trigger each other’s jealousy and insecurities.

In addition to being equally stubborn, both are also jealous by nature. If he is more attracted to her at first, he may continually pursue her in ways he thinks are romantic.

A Taurus woman is likely to see such pursuit as controlling and invasive, rather than flattering.

If she is falling in love with him, a Taurus woman will move slowly and strategically to try to win him over. Yet she’ll also start to resent his inconsistent attention.

He may be focused on her one day and then quiet for several days. She will automatically become suspicious.

If she demands to know what he’s doing or who he’s talking to, an Aries man will become defensive.

Both may end up accusing other of cheating or not being invested in the relationship. This pair can be insecure. They don’t know how to read each other’s signals.

Aries compatibility with Taurus is also challenging because this pair fundamentally wants different things. He wants excitement, a change of scenery, and adventure.

He also wants to move quickly and spontaneously. She wants security. She believes in nurturing a slow and steady relationship that gets better with age like wine.

He sees her patience as procrastination. In his worldview, if you want something, you go after it immediately and obsessively.

A Taurus woman doesn’t operate this way and so he will assume she is not interested when she is just being cautious. She won’t trust him because he is careless and impulsive.

This pair may enjoy each other’s company in a very casual dating relationship. She may be intrigued by his stories of adventure and bravery.

He will admire her beauty and charming, earthy personality. They may also enjoy going to classy places and exclusive parties together as each enjoys markers of status.

Yet any more serious relationship will be difficult for these two. Her practicality impresses him at first, but in time it comes to feel like a constant obstacle to his whimsical nature.

Her cautious personality seems to him to be cynical. Aries men are optimists and a Taurus woman’s caring nature will feel like a downer to him.

Aries compatibility with Taurus is based on whether each partner can make extreme adjustments to compromise. Yet neither of these signs is prone to compromise.

One of the most common Aries traits is the belief that their individual views and ambitions are more important than anything else, even relationships.

Taurus and Aries horoscope signs will aggravate each other more than they will empower each other. Even if their intentions are good, there are too many differences for this couple to make the relationship last.

They may walk on eggshells to try to impress each other, but neither partner will want to hide their true nature for long.

Marriage

A Taurus woman is far from an Aries man’s best compatibility match. Yet sometimes, miracles happen and an unlikely couple will find enough common ground to get married.

By the time an Aries man and Taurus woman have tied the knot, chances are good they’ve worked through any illusions about the relationship.

They will know full well all the ways they are mismatched as a couple, yet will likely have found ways to work through these differences to some degree.

Their marriage may be stormy but it will typically be honest and loyal. Neither will put on pretenses in a relationship. An Aries man may tolerate a Taurus woman’s slow pace because her candid nature is a fair trade-off.

A Taurus woman may come to understand an Aries man’s erratic bursts of energy and obsessions. She doesn’t share his chaotic cycles, but if they are married, she knows how to deal with his intense nature without it changing her cautious pace.

Though a Taurus spouse is typically low on an Aries man’s compatibility chart, if this pair takes the time to figure out how to communicate better, they can make a marriage work.

It will take effort, but Taurus women don’t mind persevering and working hard if they believe their efforts will be worthwhile in the long run.

Aries men can enjoy a good challenge. If he views the relationship succeeding as proof that he’s beat the odds, he will also be more likely to actively work through the problems in the marriage, rather than getting defensive when she tries to change him.

In Bed

The Aries sign is one of the more robust when it comes to sexual appetite.

He will almost always be in the mood for sex but also gets bored easily. He needs a change of routines. Yet a Taurus woman is slow to change. She finds comfort in routines, even in bed.

She is also not as adventurous as he is when it comes to intimacy. He may initially intend to introduce her to new techniques only to find out she is resistant to expand her repertoire.

If their connection is strong in other ways, the lack of sexual chemistry will not destroy the relationship.

Yet the deck is stacked against this pair from the beginning. Add their sexual incompatibility to the mix and it can be a recipe for disaster.

An Aries man’s personality can be domineering, and in bed, he may be turned on by power games. A Taurus woman is likely to be turned off by his kinky fetishes.

If she has her own fantasies and fetishes, they are usually more sensual and practical. Yet he moves too quickly to satisfy her needs. He’s always in a hurry and his passion can lead him to seem too intense for a Taurus woman.

Can Aries and Taurus be sexually compatible in any situation? Theoretically, it is possible but would be quite rare.

If he learns to slow down and indulge her desire to be pampered, she may feel more secure with him.

She could also eventually become more open-minded and adventurous but will only experiment when she is ready to do so.
