Aries and Taurus Compatibility
Aries and Taurus compatibility: Aries and Taurus pair the zodiac's sprinter with its marathon runner: Aries brings drive and daring, Taurus brings patience and comfort, and the match works when each learns the other's pace. In Vedic matching, where the sign is the Moon sign, Aries and Taurus take 3 of the 12 points two Moon signs decide: Bhakoot 0 of 7 (the 2-12 axis) and Graha Maitri 3 of 5.
Aries is drawn to Taurus's calm, sensual steadiness; Taurus enjoys Aries's boldness and the sense that something is always about to happen. Physical chemistry is often strong: Mars rules Aries and Venus rules Taurus, the two planets of desire in Western lore. Taurus offers a home base Aries rarely builds alone.
Aries loves by acting first: direct, competitive, quick to spark and quick to move on from a quarrel.
Taurus loves by staying: steady, sensual and loyal, slow to commit and slower still to let go.
Aries wants it now; Taurus wants it right, or not at all. Aries reads Taurus as stubborn and slow, and Taurus finds Aries reckless with money and plans. Arguments stall when Taurus digs in and Aries pushes harder.
Give Taurus time to decide and Aries room to move. Big purchases and moves go better on Taurus's timetable, adventures and new starts on Aries's. Neither should mistake the other's pace for indifference.
| Koota | Aries and Taurus |
|---|---|
| Moon signs | Aries (Mesha) and Taurus (Vrishabha) |
| Rashi lords | Mars and Venus |
| Bhakoot (of 7) | 0 — 2-12 axis (dosha) |
| Graha Maitri (of 5) | 3 |
| The two together (of 12) | 3 |
The Moon signs are 2nd and 12th from each other (Dwirdwadash): Bhakoot gives 0. Tradition links this axis to money and daily expenses.
Aries is ruled by Mars and Taurus by Venus. Mars counts Venus neutral, and Venus counts Mars neutral: Graha Maitri gives 3 of 5.
Bhakoot and Graha Maitri are the two kootas the Moon signs settle on their own and that read the same whichever partner is counted first. Varna and Vashya also read the signs but depend on who is the groom; Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi need both birth stars.

Fire and earth: speed against patience; earth can ground fire or smother it.
Cardinal and fixed: one starts and the other sustains, useful if neither tries to run the other.
Neighbouring signs (a semi-sextile): different elements side by side, each holding what the other lacks.
Sun-sign compatibility describes two signs, not two people: read it as the tradition's tendencies, and match two real charts with kundli matching.
Here they part. Western astrology treats neighbouring signs as a mild, minor link, while Vedic matching calls the same 2-12 spacing a Bhakoot dosha and scores it 0.
A Vedic sign is the Moon's sign in the sidereal zodiac; a Western sign is usually the Sun's, in the tropical zodiac. Your two signs are often different, so check which reading is about you.
Two signs are a starting point. Your own match reads both full birth charts — all 36 Guna Milan points, Manglik dosha and the 7th houses — so a Aries and a Taurus can score anywhere.
- Kundli matching by birth details: the full 36-point Guna Milan
- Compatibility by date of birth: Moon signs, nakshatras and the koota scores
- Matching by name, when birth times are not known
- Find your rashi: your Moon sign from your birth details
Aries and Taurus Compatibility: Questions
Are Aries and Taurus compatible?
Aries and Taurus pair the zodiac's sprinter with its marathon runner: Aries brings drive and daring, Taurus brings patience and comfort, and the match works when each learns the other's pace. In Vedic matching, where the sign is the Moon sign, Aries and Taurus take 3 of the 12 points two Moon signs decide: Bhakoot 0 of 7 (the 2-12 axis) and Graha Maitri 3 of 5. A couple's own match needs both birth charts.
Is there Bhakoot dosha between Aries and Taurus?
Yes. The Moon signs are 2nd and 12th from each other (Dwirdwadash): Bhakoot gives 0. Tradition links this axis to money and daily expenses.
What is the Aries and Taurus compatibility percentage?
No single percentage is honest for two signs. Of the 36 Guna Milan points, the two Moon signs alone decide 12, and Aries and Taurus take 3 of them. The other 24 depend on the two birth stars and, for 3 of them, on which partner is the groom, so kundli matching gives your own score.
Is my Western zodiac sign the same as my rashi?
Often not. A Western sign is usually the Sun's sign in the tropical zodiac; a rashi is the Moon's sign in the sidereal zodiac, and Vedic matching reads the rashi. The rashi calculator finds yours from your date, time and place of birth.
