A Taurus man and an Aries woman face an uphill battle in romance. They could wind up being that super supportive couple where one takes the lead, and the other is the wind beneath their wings. Or they might wind up realizing somewhere along the line that they can't stand to be around one another.
The Taurus Man
Taurus, the fixed earth sign of the zodiac, is governed by feminine Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and money. This indicates that a Taurus man is romantic, sensual, and attached to everything beautiful, aesthetic, and pleasing in life. He's a lover of nature, music, and the creative arts, as well as a calm, reliable, and determined individual who has a desire for financial security, material comfort, and marriage.
He's a stability-loving homebody who's attentive, loving, fiercely loyal, and protective of those he loves.
- He shows his love by doing romantic and thoughtful things.

- He doesn't get upset easily, but if angered, he does have a temper.

- Negatively, a Taurus man can be possessive, overprotective, stubborn, and uncompromising.
The Aries Woman
The cardinal fire sign of the zodiac, Aries is ruled by masculine Mars, the planet of passion, desire, and the drive for sex. This indicates an Aries woman is an action-oriented, independent lady who loves adventure and is always on the go. An Aries woman is an interesting and exciting romantic partner.

Taurus Man & Aries Woman Attraction Compatibility
The differences between a Taurus man and an Aries woman are a source of fascination for both. This initial interest is enough to spark a romance that will either be a brief but torrid affair or a lifelong challenge.
Their Differences Can Ignite a Spark
A Taurus man is attracted to an Aries woman's high energy, independence, and playful character. An Aries woman is drawn to a Taurus man's strong, stable, trustworthy character. The romantic nature of a Taurus man, and the fun, enthusiastic nature of an Aries woman can spark a romance.
They Can Have Surprising Love Chemistry
An Aries woman in love is a flirt, risk-taker, and fighter. A Taurus man in love is a cautious and steadfast nester. She's quick to fall in love and feels alive when pressing forward against the resistance of a Taurus man, who is cautious and takes his sweet time when it comes to love and romance. An Aries woman initiates and plants the seeds of romantic passion, while a Taurus man tends the garden, brings it to fruition, and makes the romance bloom. But if they do fall in love, they'll need to put some effort into constantly seeding and caring for the garden if they want to sustain its beauty.
They Can Be Sexually Compatible
A Taurus man and an Aries woman may have their share of other problems, but sex isn't usually one of them. As a matter of fact, most of the issues that arise can be settled in the bedroom. An Aries woman and a Taurus man are usually quite sexually compatible. The Taurus man loves the way an Aries woman takes the lead in the bedroom, and his passionate nature allows him to follow her spontaneous lead. Their different roles can make their lovemaking both enduring and satisfying.
There's Potential for an Ardent and Creative Relationship
An Aries and Taurus in love are very passionate about each other and can look forward to a thrilling, ardent, and creative romance that can last a season or a lifetime, especially if love is the fertilizer. But it also helps if they have a shared sense of values, shared creative projects, and a grounded vision, as well as the ability to communicate.
If They Both Have Mercury in the Right Place, This Could Be a Great Match
Mercury, the planet of communication, is the planet closest to the Sun. This means that many Taurus individuals have Mercury in Aries, and many Aries individuals have Mercury in Taurus. If an Aries has Mercury in Taurus or a Taurus has Mercury in Aries, it greatly enhances their ability to communicate, to listen patiently, and to understand the other.
Taurus Man & Aries Woman Problems
All those positives sound good, but it takes a mature Aries woman and Taurus man to allow their love to grow and mature. In less mature couples, their inherent personality traits and proclivities can make a long-term relationship highly challenging.
They're Passionate in Different Ways
An Aries woman is impulsive but passionate. She finds things she's fascinated with and dives into them full force, but her head can quickly be turned by something new that she'll immerse herself in just as quickly. A Taurus man, OTOH, has lifelong interests that he takes a deep dive into and follows for years (or forever). Her quickly changing passions can make her seem flighty to him, and his slow-moving passions can feel pretty dull to her.
Their Focus Is Different
An Aries woman focuses on the here and now. She loves the thrill of the chase and craves adventure that will help her feel alive in the moment. A steady Taurus man is more focused on the past and future. His comfort zone is in the routines that have always served him, the things he's always known, and those that will continue to bring comfort in the future. This can make the Taurus man feel stodgy to an Aries woman, and he could see her as being a little too impulsive for his liking.
She Charges in While He Takes His Time
Sure, an Aries woman's take-charge energy could help pull a Taurus man out of his comfort zone, but he's going to fight hard as he goes. He likes what's familiar and doesn't really have any need or desire to explore new stuff. Her thirst for novelty can make him deeply uncomfortable, and his love of familiarity doesn't interest her much.
They Process Emotions at Different Speeds
The Taurus man is emotionally steady. He does feel things, but he's slow to arrive at those feelings. On the plus side, that means it takes him a while to get all riled up about something (but when he does, watch out). On the negative side, the slowness of his emotional processing could drive an Aries woman mad.
Why? Because she processes her emotions lightning-quick. She also has a temper, and it flares immediately (and often) but fades just as quickly. So she'll work up a head of steam and be over it while her Taurus partner will still be in the midst of his slow stew, and his anger is going to last a long time. When they can't overcome their differences, she'll start to be even more emotionally reactive (and even aggressive), and he'll become passive-aggressive.
She Could Lose Interest Before He Even Falls in Love
This is a true challenge with an Aries woman and a Taurus man. She falls in love a lot, and she does it super quickly. And then something newer and shinier comes along... and she's off and running in a different direction before her Taurus man has even worked up a good head of steam. Then he's left mooning after her, but she's long gone. This doesn't fare well in many Taurus male and Aries female relationships.
Commitment Goes a Long Way in a Taurus-Aries Relationship
If both Aries and Taurus are committed to making their relationship work, an enduring romance is possible. Although this is not necessarily a match made in heaven, both signs tend to be tenacious, loyal, and passionate towards those they choose to partner with. These three traits alone could help this pair make it through the tough times and teach them to appreciate one another if they can overcome their initial differences.
