                         He came back, and there was a greedy look in his
                         eyes now which ought to have alarmed her, but did not.

Unless they met in high school, and were married shortly thereafter (which does happen rather frequently with these two Sun Signs, since they're both always in such a hurry), an Aries man may ?ercely resent his Gemini girl’s past love life, which could have been, by normal standards, somewhat extéhsive. It’s almost sure to include, if not a couple of ex-husbands, at thevery least, half a dozen broken engagements or a few ?ickering old ?ames All Ceminis should be wary of early marriage, unless they were born when the Moon or Ascendent was in Capricorn, Virgo, Cancer or Taurus. It's not that she's ?ckle or promiscuous, but this girl may run through a long list of pitchers while she’s playing the field, before she ?nds one who can bat her average. Yes, I know that batters don’t pitch, and pitchers don't bat, ordinarily-—but any man who can't do at least two things equally well, preferably more, and also preferably both at once, is likely to strike out with
her. Of course, we know that could never happen to an Aries man, since he can do everything and anything better than anyonelelse, at any time, so  suppose it's iust an academic discussion, but it wouldn’t hurt for him to remember it anyway. All her life this woman has thought it was the house at the top of the hill that had golden windows. She keeps climbing all the way up there, only to look below, from the summit, and discover the house at the bottom of the hill is the one with golden windows, after all. So she slides back down, and re discovers that the house at the bottom has only ordinary windows, as she first had thought, thenlooks up to see the golden windows shining once more at the top of the hill, decides she’s been wrong, and trudges back up the hill again to another disappointment. Why are those golden windows so elusive ? It can be spiritually exhausting, all that climbing up, and sliding back down, and climbing back up, until she learns that the re?ection of the Sun is only an illusion—not real at all—and relative, depending upon the time of day and
one's location at any given moment. ' There may be times when a Gemini girl thinks an old love was really the
one with golden possibilities, but before she ?nds out that this, too, is an illusion, she will have lost the Aries man, whether she left him standing alone at the top or at the bottom of the hill. A Ram will never sympathize with his woman's nostalgia over yesterday’s romances, even though he may go out under a toadstool, and light a candle to an old ?ame every spring, on Groundhog Day, himself. Remember the Aries self-centeredness. He can do it She can't. Why ? Because he knows his nostalgia is innocent and will never lead anywhere. He's not so sure about hers. (Aries hidden insecurity.) Their relationship may. have a few other pitfalls along with it’s undeni- able delights—like a possible lack of will power and stability. Rams possess
simply oodles of drive and energy, but sticking to things they start is not one of their strong points. Since a man subconsciously depends on his woman to supply what he lacks, he may be leaning on a feather in the breeze when he leans on a Gemini girl. Will power and dependability are not her major talents either (unless her Moon or Ascendent, as just mentioned, happens to be in Cancer, or in an Earth eSign—and naturally, the same is true of him). Consequently, these two (these three or four) can send up a lot of ?ares thatkeep sputtering out, as each one indulges the other’s weaknesses of procrasti- nation and quick boredom. This is one man who probably won't insist that his Gemini woman stay home to sweep the hearth, wearing a calico apron and watering the vegetable garden He’ll probably realize he can use her versatile viewpoints and
original thinking in his business life or career, so it's common to find this couple working together, after marriage, as well as before They usually make a crackerjack team. He knows exactly what he wants—-and she has plenty of ideas about how to help him get it. Besides, he can watch her more closely if she's with him all day. It eliminates his worry about the milk man, the cleaner, the grocer, and the handsome chap who runs the elevator in their apartment building Her Mercurial proclivity for harmless (usually) ?irting
adds plenty of fuel to the ?res of Aries jealousy, and anything that might keep such Mars sparks under control is desirable A survey to determine how many Aries men eventually suggest that their wives work as their secretaries, or full partners, might prove astrologically interesting On the other hand. these lovers often meet on the job The same kinds of occupation and career interest them both. so it’s only natural that they may bump into each other in some creative field or profession that offers excitement and challenge You'll never see an Aries man and a Gemini woman. however long they/ve been married. sitting at a restaurant table reading the paper, or staring at the other customers in silence. ignoring each other the way so many couples unfortunately do after the first flush of romance has become a little softer Aries and Gemini will always have something to say to each other-—-sometimes too much Conversation. ID any case. is not likely to lag between them Most of the time. their verbal communication will consist of stimulating and scintillating exchanges. but when she touches a raw nerve in his sensitive Mars ego with her talent for hitting the satirical mark, it could turn into a verbal contest that could leave some pretty deep wounds. Happily however, these two are inclined to forgive and forget injuries as quickly as they tend to in?ict them. - Strangely, this love relationship is sometimes harder on others than it is on the man and woman themselves. The more sincerely and deeply they’r in love, the more likely it is that their friends, neighbors or relatives, at some time, however rarely, will suffer from this Air-Fanning-F ire romance. Now and then, av Gemini woman will imagine all sorts of things about people that are, quite simply, untrue. She’ll convince herself that a particular dialogue took place with another person, and report it to her Aries lover or husband, in words that haven’t the slightest connection with reality, or with the words that were actually spoken. (Her Mercury imagination, you see, fills in the dull or uninteresting gaps with more creative phraseology.) Loving her as intensely as only a Ram can love, he could take furious offense at these slightly exaggerated insults to his lady fair, and direct his Mars anger, full force, toward the shocked person he's been falsely led“ to believe has treated her so shabbily. (Aries men are ?ercely loyal to their friends and relatives, and especially to their mates.) Later, her honest Twin will trouble her conscience by softly, yet insistently, reminding her that things didn't quite occur as she colorfully described them to her Ram. If she then levels with him, he should control his Mars fireworks of outrage, and appreciate her attempt to separate reality from imagination, with tenderness. For the Gemini woman is made of fragile material. She's not, like him, protected on her journey through Life by the ?erce warrior Mars-—only by the unpredictable magician Mercury, who often hides from her, just when a girl most needs her ruling planet’s wisdom. Her heart contains so many different chords of haunting music. She’s a symphony of memories, made of loveliness and light, ugliness and shadow, making the more direct Aries man who loves her sometimes wonder, “Who is she--this intimate and familiar stranger ? Who is she . . . and what is she ?” Who is she . . . ? Whichever Twin leads the way, at any given moment. What is she? She’s the bunch of marigolds in a sky blue bowl, on her teacher's desk, in the third grade . . . . . the circus parade she once watched, when the clown threw a pretzel to her, and she caught it joyfully . . . . . she’: hayrides and hurricanes .-....her ?rst pair of black patent leather Mary janes, a summer storm in the woods, at scout camp, that made the pine trees smell as fragrant as hyacinths . . . . . a ?eld of purple heather she sat in once,
for hours, that transported her all the way to Scotland, where she was the Lady of the Lake . .. . . and also the lonely Evangeline . . . . . the small, lost bird she fed, until it was strong enough to ?y, when she was five. These things are what she is. All this. And so, while the Gemini girl-woman must exercise a certain amount of
discipline over her imagination, if she expects to achieve harmony with the straightforward, honest Ram she loves, she must be careful not to restrict it entirely, because it's the quality that makes her seem so exquisitely feminine to him. Children, too, possess vivid imaginations, and he thinks of her, this man, more often than she knows, as a little girl who needs his loving protection. Except, of course, when she shatters his image of her helplessness by beating him at mental musical chairs, King’s X, tic-tac-toe, and so forth. Some Gemini females can be, when they choose, intellectual terrors, their speech as sharp as a knife, their mental acumen nothing less than brilliant—- which isn't the most soothing balm for a male Ram’s masculine self~
con?dence. But then; there’s also the bunch of marigolds in the sky blue bowl V ' As for him, he's made, not just from the rough-hewn robes of raw courage, tied with the crimson cord of bravado—-his Ram’s horns curl around the memories of his Lancelot clays, the time he first swam, in water way over his head, when he couldn—’t swim-—-but he did ——his broken top, his broken dreams and the nightmares with no shape or form, from a buried, now forgotten childhood fear. . . the Christmas when Santa forgot the puppy on his list the sky rockets, Roman fountains and spit—devils he ignited, when he was nine, on Independence Day the ?rst time he ever saw a horse, and smelled the intoxicating odors of a barn. the way he felt when he ?rst knew how holy a silent night could be, sleeping alone, beneath countless glittering stars that sang to him a remembered melody no one else could hear. They are so many things, this man—this woman. Mostly, they are the sometimes inhabitants of a land, a kingdom they discovered by themselves, where everything is beautiful. , but lonely. . needing other eyes to see it too. for only thus may it be recognized as real. They  each visit on another's private worlds, but if the mutual invitation so wistfully extended, unspoken is rejected . . . . then each may retreat into his or her kingdom, more and more often, leaving the other regretfully behind. These lovers should never permit such a retreat to occur, because the stars and planets have designed their make-believe lands so very much alike, they’re sure to be happier when they dance through each other’s dreams, then when one stands forlornly before the N0 Trespassing sign of the other. Sexually, this man and woman will believe themselves to be ideall mated, in the beginning. The Ram dreams of arriving in the garden of love on a ?ying carpet of adventure, straight out of the Arabian Nights (or the Age of Chivalry, either one), and the Gemini female will play her role in  dream-drama to perfection. She'll not only go along with the game, but she’ll think up enough new twists to keep him fascinated far beyond the honey-
moon. No one can make an ordinary bed seem as much like Sultan’s harem as a Gemini woman, which is richly satisfying to an Aries man, who wants his mate to be the epitome of Woman. With her, he'll never know who awaits him at night in the privacy of the boudoir. It could be Cleopatra, George Sand, Mata Hari, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Lady Hamilton or Fanny Brice. For a while it will excite him, until he starts to look around in the closet and under the pillows for “the sensuous woman." _ His own sexual expression is direct and intense. Hers is somewhat more elusive and complicated. True, he enjoys approaching their lovemaking on a path of imaginative romance, but he expects to quench his thirst in a stream of pure, honest passion, when he arrives at his destination. There’s often an air of the intangible in her attitude toward physical love, to the extent that he may accuse her of being somewhere else during their intimate moments, and she could resent his masculine intrusion into what, to her, is always a sacred
place —her mind. This man needs daydreams in association with sexual union, but there’s a time and place for them, and to him, the last act of their love drama is not the proper place. He believes, like George M. Cohan, that the ?nale of anything (if it expects to receive an encore) should include a stirring version of "The
Stars and Stripes Forever.” Listening to Ram Andre Previn’s full orchestral recording of Holst's The Planets, on cassette or stereo, may help her sense his romantic pace. The section titled “Mars” will deliver the message profound- ly, up to and including the violent percussion emphasis at the very close of that passage, that symbolizes the rhythms of his ruling planet with startling lucidity. It’s an Aries sex education—and like everything else in the world, it's more beautifully learned with a musical background. He may sometimes feel she's searching for something that never existed, and fail to realize that with a shade more gentleness from him, she might be able to transmute her vivid imaginings into equally lovely realities. Gemini images ?ash a true picture of what could be-if they’re tenderly allowed to take form and shape. It's her dual consciousness that may distort the communication. But love can keep those Mercury circuits free of negative vibrations. Love can do anything-—literally, anything. This eternally youthful man and woman could hear the same music
together, and follow the same distant drummer, for many happy years. if she understands that his jealousies and petulant angers stem from his Aries emotional vulnerabilities... .and if he respects her love affair with her
other Twin Self. It may sometimes lead her into places she runs to more swiftly than he can follow, but she'll return, refreshed, and ready to race with him toward new horizons. He's so bright and brave, so friendly, open and enthusiastic. She's so utterly feminine, charming, versatile and spontaneous. If only they don't try to change each other, they can remain boy and girl forever. And children are the luckiest people in the Universe.

ARIES woman GEMINI Man

                          ARIES woman GEMINI  Man      

                                      “You w0n’t forget me . .. will you, before springtime
                                                   comes?"
                                                        Of coarse Peter promised; and then he ?ew away.
                               
There are Aries women and Gemini men who hold hands lightly and skip down the street together like children. There are other Aries women and Gemini men who have sarcastic, furious verbal clonnybrooks from the time they awake until they go to bed —- and they both talk in their sleep too. Often. the emotional blending of Mars and Mercury in a love experience produces a strange alchemy of haunting tenderness, punctuated by sharp hurt, making the relationship capable of both triumph and disaster. It may be because
Gemini, unlike the other two Air Signs, verbalizes both his admiration and his contempt so clearly and unmistakably. Or perhaps it’s because Aries, unlike the other two Fire Signs, is consumed by the passion of the moment‘, whether it's~love or hate, never thinking about tomorrow's possible regrets. This 3-11 Sun Sign Pattern is quite distinctive in its in?uence over two people linked together through its friendly, and very communicative, vibra- tions. There's no doubt they'll quarrel occasionally, even frequently; yet their more tempestuous arguments will contain the seed of spring, and fresh promises for the future. Their misunderstandings are extremely verbal, and often quite loud, but somehow, not too serious. It's almost as though they're both aware of the potential of a truce in the midst of the battle. These two might accurately say of themselves

some people love with restraint
as if they were someday to hate
but we hated gently, carefully
as if we were someday to love. . .

There’s very little restraint in the love between Aries and Gemini. When the Ram and the Twins fall in love with each other, neither will waste time wondering if the end of the affair, or the marriage, will be blissfully happy or achingly sad. The initial attraction between them, the magnetic pull of their carefree natures, causes both of them to reach out toward each other trustingly, with no worry about a far-off ending. If _it should eventually occur, in whatever form—separation, divorce or death—the memories of love as naive, exciting and as full of blind faith as a child's heart on Christmas Eve, will soften the edges of the recollection of any sorrow or hurt they've mutually suffered. That’s the beauty of the 3-11 vibration, in which genuine friendship forms the foundation for the empathy, from the very first hello. jealously can be a large troublemaker. The typical Aries girl is as jealous as it’s possible for a woman to be, without turning solid green,_and she's seldom able to recognize it rationally. It doesn’t stem from a possessive nature but from the Arian symbolic Infant’s terrible fear of rejection (which would mean literal death to an infant) and need for constant reassurance that it (she) is cherished. The undue Aries concern over losing love to another is more understandable when it's viewed in the light of these subconscious feelings of infantile helplessness and total dependency upon continued and uninterrupted affection. It's a feeling that’s always present, just beneath the bright Mars bravado of independence and self-sufficiency . . . . . which is not real in any sense, only make believe . . . . a kind of protection against further vulnerability. The typical Gemini man is not excessively jealous (barring some Venus- Mars af?iction in his birth chart, or an Aries Moon or Ascendent). And this is
where most of the difficulties may lie. Because, you see, she secretly would like him to be. The least he can do is pretend he is. Whether she consciously realizes it or not, the girl Ram rather enjoys arousing the jealous instinct in her man. It reaffirms her importance to him, a matter that can’t be reaffirmed too often for any Aries. The Gemini male may oblige her, by granting her wish, if she steps out of line too obviously. But most of the time he’ll be too busy changing his clothes, his moods, his ideas, his dreams and his disposition
to pause long enough to stop, look and listen to any innocent ?irtations she's Haunting at him in the hope of warming up his cool, detached and airy approach to life-and to her. Conversely, he won't have to ?aunt any flirtations in front of her to bring on a bright green explosion. Saying good morning too intimately to Apple Annie at the corner newspaper stand will suffice. Considering his love of freedom and his phobia concerning emotional shackles that curb his natural gregarious activities, a little of that will go a long way with a Gemini
man. Although she must learn to somehow either control or hide her jealous fears (if she doesn’t want to lose him), he must also learn to sympathize with her motivation for such behavior—-an inner fear that she lacks enough femininity to keep him faithful (if he doesn’t want to lose her). There has been so much propaganda over the years about the slinky, sexually seductive, feather~brained, soft and sweet type of bunny-kitten “every man yearns for," you can't blame the Aries woman for developing a neurosis about her quick mind. her direct approach to love and her lack of sneaky female guile-- especially since she was born under the in?uence of a masculine Sun Sign She has courage and initiative, she s energetic and ambitious—all allegedly masculine traits. Men believe they have the market cornered on those qualities, Haven’t you been reading the Women s Liberation pam- phlets ? (The Aries woman may very well be the leader of the ERA group in her community.) What’s a girl Ram supposed to do to be considered feminine--read Marabel What’s-Her-Name's book, The Total Woman, and total herself by lust sitting around murmuring “You're wonderful, darling,“ and never do anything on her own ? That's ]l.lSt about the size of it, according to Marabel and all the male chauvinists. Skimpy, isn t it 7’ Oh. I suppose she could do other things to retain her femininity, like
wash. iron, cook, diaper babies, shop for clothes, gossip, iron, wash, cook. have babies—am I repeating myself 9 Sorry, I was beginning to get bored. As an Aries myself, I’ve never understood why a girl must be labeled "pushy" lust because she knows her own mind. If most men prefer a Stepford Wives type robot to a real woman, that's their hang—up. Aries females, along with their Sagittarius and Leo sisters, sometimes rival the “male chauvinist pigs’ by being rather blatant “female chauvinist sows” themselves. Such feminine gender animals do exist. Now, why did I write that ? I’ve given the quiok—witted Gemini men a new verbal weapon. My apologies to Ms. Steinem, whom I greatly admire. but it is true, Gloria, and you know it. Please don’t be offended, because I'm one too. That isfl believe anything they can do, we can do equally——and some things better No need to list the latter. We all know what they are Oh, you don't P Well, for heavens sake-— patiently and tenderly providing a gentle garden for babes to grow in for nine months, being able to bear pain at a higher threshold than men, possessing the common sense and esoteric logic to know that war never solved anything, and being able to sense danger and evil, long before they appear, are just a few of our superiorities over the masculine essence. We're also more sensitive, intuitive and psychic, certainly more compassionate—yet far more realistic than men. But not quite sentimental. ( You didn’t know that men are secretly sentimental ? So much so that they've taught women to see the poetry and beauty in Life too.) It's all right for the female chauvinist sows to be aware of their own areas of both equality and superiority regarding the masculine sex, but they should also recognize the areas of a man's equality and superiority regarding woman- hood, That's what makes true femininity and true masculinity. With her innocent faith in miracles, it's destined that the Aries woman someday discover a man who's looking for a real woman, and he could be
Gemini. This man may have two heads, and twin desires, but he also possesses a driving need to be able to play mental chess with the woman he loves. Not for Gemini the serene siren who gazes up to him in silent,
palpitating passion, because it's easier than trying to match wits with him. He de?nitely falls in love with his mind ?rst His heart follows after. then his physical desire. Romance usually proceeds in 3ust about that priority order with the Twins. As for the Aries woman, the order is only slightly changed. She falls in love first with her heart, her mind follows quickly after—and, ?nally. her physical desire, The initial patterns are switched. but that's not as important as the fact that they both end up on the same frequency, in its proper place—last. after mental and emotional affinity has been established. [Us an amazingly successful formula. Because\he’ll appreciate the constant mental challenge of the Aries girl (Aries rules the head, Gemini the mind, among other things), she'll eventually learn to trust him to love her for what she is. Then she may show him what she s allowed no other male to discover -that she can be genuinely sweet and tender. with a man who proves he's her superior in some ways, while making it clear at the same time that he also admires her for her own qualities. which are equal to his, some being likewise superior. It's a complicated juggling act,
but Gemini man can pull it off. if anyone can. His natural charm and glibness (some people call it blarney) can keep her Mars vanity and ego appeased —and he can certainly handle any kind of verbal debate she cares to start She may start quite a few She may have difficulty in adjusting to his typical Gemini habit of lateness. She's often a little lax in that area herself. but Rams have a rather sel?sh way of being outraged when they’re forced to swallow their own medicine. Gemini man was once three hours late for an appointment with me.
Anticipating his excuses (one of the bene?ts of being an astrologer) I wrote a little verse about him while I was waiting.
                           I'm sorry I kept you waiting p ,
                           look, don't cry it was only an hour or two
                           couldn't you ?nd something to do? ‘
                               I would have, if I had been you. "
When he ?nally arrived, he read it, and exclaimed, “Oh, wow! How did you know exactly what I was going to say P" The Aries girl who s in love with this two-headed twin wonder of dual desires and actions should carefully study the difference between the word "gregarious" the word "unfaith- ful l that there is a difference. She should also study the meaning of the two words "freedom" "love," and comprehend that. to a Gemini,
these two words are synonyms It will help to cut down on the arguments. As for their physical compatibility, he's one of the few men who's capable of creating the illusionary quality this woman must associate with sex. She idealizes the sexual expression of love into a colorful, layered fabric, woven from every book she's ever read, every movie she's ever cried over and every shining hope she's ever held deep inside her heart. She’s convinced that bells should literally ring at the moment the two of them become one. With him, she may actually hear them, because his imagination can supply all the fantasies she needs to ful?ll her romantic Cinderella dreams. This sort of empathy is what causes them to. initially fall in love, sometimes at first sight (neither Sun Sign is noted for slow action). But later, it may take more than fantasies to keep her love burning brightly, when his Gemini detachment fails to satisfy her total concept of sexual expression, which is not purely imaginary. She also needs the tangible. She may begin to feel there's always a tiny part of himself he holds back, even during their intimacy, and she could be right. She holds nothing back, with the Aries instinct to give completely of herself. The Mars inclination toward direct action is seldom diluted in the giving of passion‘-—or in the exchange of it. He may fail to arouse in her such natural (for Rams) physical impulses, with his airy approach to lovemaking. Then she might feel that faerie stories ar empty, when there’s no ?re to set them ablaze, and become bored —or, much worse, frigid. It's a delicate area of adjustment, and the relationship will have a better chance for success if the Moon and/or Ascendent of his birth chart is in a Fire
Sign. Otherwise, he may not be able to teach her what she’s so enormously capable of learning, after her initial inhibitions have been overcome by his idealistic preliminaries. The Gemini Prince can kiss the Aries Princess awake. but she may fall back asleep again if total passion is lacking, without ever really knowing why. Then Aries Fire can turn into Aries lce, which is a s waste, considering the warmth she can so generously give when the complete potential of her fiery nature is encouraged to develop. During one of their games of mental chess, when he's behaving in an impossible manner, she might try saying “I realize that you believe you understood what I just said, but I’m not sure you caught what it was I didn't intend to imply, for fear you might misunderstand what I believed you thought.” H it confuses him, she can say: "Good. Now you know what it's like to talk to yourself —~or rather, to yourselves. Both of you." She might also leave this book around near him, open to this chapter, to remind him of‘ how dull his life would be now if she hadn’t streaked across his heart. But she should curb her impulse to hand him the book directly. and order him to read it immediately. Cinderella would never do that

It was not really Saturday night, at least it may have been, for they had long lost count of the days; but always if they wanted to do anything special . they said this was Saturday night, and then they did it. back to the Indians—blackouts, muggers, creaky subways, uncol- lected garbage, and all. Of course, both of them being idealists, they would pfobably realize what a rotten deal the Indians got in the beginning, and end up giving them back New York for a few strands of love beads and 'a peace button, along with all the other rights the white man stole from his red brother—if they could swing it. Because both Aries and Gemini love causes, and share the same talent for creative, persistent salesmanship, they can perform fantastic feats of ingenu- ity together. They also share a casual attitude toward accumulating great power or money, which may be why they are seldom as successful as they should be, considering all the emotional (Aries) andmental (Gemini) energy  rking as a team, this combination of Sun Signs could sell Manhattan they pour into anything that interests them——for the moment, that is. Nothing holds the interest of either of these Sun Signs for longer than 0 moment. Well, sometimes maybe two or three moments. Since Aries bubbles with naive impetuosity, and Gemini is determined to attain complete independence by breaking every bond of the spirit, maturity of thought seldom supports their mutual endeavors. One might say that the combined qualities of this 3-11 Sun Sign Pattern association present a picture of optimisim, punctuated with brief splashes (usually, very brief) of sensitivity and hidden insecurities. When Aries and Gemini blend their natures as neighbors, friends, business associates, relatives, lovers or mates, it doubles up their individual drives for freedom against all who would con?ne them in a morass of convention and caution. Separately or together, they look young, act young--and therefore, quite naturally, often behave like children. Now, children can be endearing, guileless and lovable. They can also be unintentionally sel?sh, irrational and thoughtless. So it is with any association between this 3-11 in?uenced team. Preferably both of them, but at least one of the two, must eventually grow up, or most of their time together will be spent playing around in a sand pile, with a couple of brightly painted buckets, and large shovels for the you-know-what they're both so good at handing
each other and the rest of the world. -Basically, both Aries and Gemini are honest—the Rams especially so-
but these two can fool themselves until they forget where honesty ends and self-deception begins. It’s their innocence, or ignorance, whichever, of their own individual natures. In other words, they're both as expert at selling themselves as they are at selling the general public. If the product being sold isn't genuine, the Gemini will usually be the first of the two of them to suspect it, with Mercury's sharp, analytical mind, although Gemini is capable of outsmarting himself (or herself), by continuing to imagine it still may be what he-she originally believed it was. As for Aries, it's extremely difficult for this Sun Sign to tell the difference between what glitters so enticingly— and real gold. Such discrimination is learned by the Ram only after repeated, heartbreaking disillusion and disappointment. I’ve been referring to the “two of them. " Actually, perhaps I should say the “three of them,” because, although Aries is clearly one person, indivisible,
“with liberty and justice for all," every Gemini is distinctly two people, the person he-she really is ,.and the person she-he would like to be. The Twins. you know. Add the Mars ego of the Ram — almost a separate entity in itself—and it can get pretty crowded, with all those auras mixing, attracting and repelling, blending and clashing, by turns. It's not a bad idea for these two Sun Sign people, essentially compatible as they are, to stand apart at intervals and take a fresh look at each other from a distance. It clears away some of the smog that's bound to accumulate between them. Aries pushes ahead instinctively, convinced of the sincerity of cause, as well as the eventual victory, with little or no time out to reflect on the pros and cons of any given situation or problem. Conversely, Gemini weighs. sorts and ?gures out all possible maneuvers and conclusions with the cool, casual detachment and logic so typical of all three Air Signs (Aquarius and Libra being the other two). Yet for all Gemini's mental gymnastics, practicality may be missing. Gemini can quickly deduce what might go wrong but often decides to outwit destiny or fate, and even himself (or herself) by clever Mercurial strategy. There are other differences of approach between these two. ' _ Aries, in?uenced by a Cardinal Sign, will insist on being at the head of things, leading, challenging, always initiating and inspiring, with enthusiasm and daring. The Ram will accept just about any idea, sound or unsound, that appeals to and arouses the emotions—to which the ego can relate in a personal way. Mutable Gemini prefers to relate in an impersonal manner. and will accept ideas that appeal to the mental deductive process, communi- cating through the logic and cleverness of Mercury reason, while the true self
remains in the background, watching—unsuspected by those who are being hypnotized with the Gemini charm. Aries enjoys riding the lead elephant and waving to the crowd, but the Twins have no burning desire to be the glory-spangled hero or heroine. Gemini would rather delegate all the confining duties and obligations of leadership to others, remaining free of responsibility, free to try on new ideas for size. , . . , to explore new people, places and things. The Geminian analysis is less intense than that of Aries, since everything is calmly checked through the computer of the mind for possible flaws-—or potential. Although the Gemini approach is essentially mental, the Twins sympathize with the Ram's emotional approach, even while remaining detached from such over- involvernent himself (or herself). Mercury-ruled men and women understand the Mars reckless impulses. Nevertheless, they realize that their own best
course is to avoid becoming emotionally entangled, whenever possible. Close human associations that threaten to smother, long-term employ- ment without either change or challenge-anything that nails down their dreams or clips Mercury's wings, Geminis distrust, for fear their very spirits will be con?ned. The Air Sign of Gemini strives to soar above the ?ames that rage around the Fire Sign of Aries. By remaining aloof and slightly out of reach, Gemini more often manages to achieve the kind of freedom Aries also seeks but doesn’t always find. Of course, too much mental and emotional freedom can create its own confusions, and when the Twins get caught in the webs of their own mental convolutions, the very directness of the Ram can sometimes help to untangle the knots. Fortunately,‘ the typical Aries person not only senses the duality of
Gemini but is usually willing to give it room to be. That’s why this association is frequently beneficial to the Geminian, because understanding -—or the lack of understanding—concerning his (or her) dreams has a great deal to do with whether they come true, simply grow rusty, or become only will-0'-the~wisps. Gemini eternally chases but never catches. A Gemini will dream from the time he-she is a tiny tot, until past the century mark. To most people, Mercury's curiosity and experimental urges seem like a patchwork of erratic,
changing attention spans, but the Ram seems to recognize that all these myriad interests are only Gemini's attempt to integrate the many-sided, fascinating-to-Aries, Mercurial personality. An Aries person is less likely to resent the Gemini's ?itting from subject to subject, in the search for all the answers, while shooting forth a continual ?ow of imagination and static energy. Interrupting a Mercury Bird when he she is verbally expressing is like trying to catch a ?re?y, and oddly, the Rams (who are rather experts at interrupting themselves) comprehend this. These two continually interrupt each other, with a mutual lack of resentment, a
most jolly thing about their association. If there's a negative aspect between the Sun and Moon or Ascendent in their birth charts, Aries may accuse Gemini of too much woolgathering and not enough concrete action, and will try to box Gemini into direct answers. Then the satirical tongue of Cemini may wound the Ram '5 easily bruised ego, and there will be a fiery battle, with sparks ?ying everywhere, as Gemini's airy attitude fans the ?ames of Mars anger. Still, the winds will change, after a while, even after the stormiest scenes . . and bitterness is seldom allowed by either of them to linger. As with all S-11 vibrational patterns, Aries and Gemini are basically good friends, and most always remain that way, in addition to being able to verbally communicate their differences of opinion to such an extent that they clear the air for a resumption of harmony. The Mercurial mind of Gemini, no matter how cleverly it's occasionally disguised behind a mask of calm and charm, resembles a top. Always spinning. Aries will happily jump on for the ride, and probably enjoy the dizzy pace. As long as the Ram doesn’t try to chain Gemini's free spirit with too many questions and demands, it will work out rather smoothly between these two. (These four, counting the Ram, the Twins, and the Mars ego.) Aries and Gemini can build sand castles from the colorful ethers of their combined thought images tall enough to reach all the way to the stars. But the foundation must be sound and stable, or they’ll topple to the ground. If they build strongly in the beginning, the end could be really out of sight —all
rainbows, butter?ies and leprechauns. Patience is the secret key ti) the other side of the fence, where the grass always looks greener and fresher to both Aries and Gemini, the eternal young ones, who search for Shangri-la, the Emerald City of Oz, Wonderland and the Fountain of Youth. Together, they have a better chance of ?nding all these places than most people. . . or than they would have if they each searched alone.

In an Aries-Taurus romance or marriage, when the woman is the Taurus and the man is the Aries, the relationship has a slight edge for success over its chances when the sexes are reversed. That's not a guarantee either way, of course, it’s just what I said—a slight edge. The qualities of passivity, steadfastness, and quiescent receptivity (Taurus) are more natural when exercised through the female. The qualities of aggression, independence and forceful action (Aries) are more natural when exercised through the male- never mind Women’s Liberation, which is right and good and timely and necessary, and all that, but the passage of ERA is never going to forcefully (or any other way) alter Mother Nature's basic tenets. At the very least. the con?icts may be somewhat fewer in number, when she’s the Taurean and he’s the Ram, in this 2-12 vibration. Still, it’s the intensity of the con?icts, not the quantity of them, that damages any relationship, so these two ought not to become heady with optimism. It depends.- Mostly on the Moon and Ascendent positions of each of them. A Taurus woman, unless the fourth house of her horoscope is severely a?licted, is a born homemaker. (Thank goodness somebody enjoys it l ) Even if she has adverse aspects in her birth chart which tend to tempt her into spending a few years as a playgirl type (a most rare occurrence), her basic
desire, nevertheless, is to create a comfortable home, ?lled with fine furnish- ings, good food, babies and music~—with the beds all nicely made, the corners clean, the laundry folded and put away and all the bills paid. Throw in a ?ower garden in the back yard, and an extra powder room, well stocked with bubble bath. She's not unreasonably jealous, without good cause; she's patient and she seldom nags. She’s normally a warm, gracious hostess for her husband's business friends—arid a pretty good listener. Now, since an Aries male requires a constant and dependable sounding board while he discusses his favorite topic—hirnself—-since he frequently brings people home to sell them a new project or idea he's dreamed up—and since he's a little careless with the budget, because he never learned to spell the word “thrift” in grammar school —-you can see how a Taurus woman em provide him with a perfect base of operations Normally. Anes men like
sports, and the typical Taurus female loves nature. So if the sport he happens to favor is camping out, or hiking in the woods, add another plus on the potential success side of their relationship. Otherwise, there might be some Saturday-afternoon-football tension
The trouble starts in areas they may never anticipate during the mating season She may prefer living in the country or the suburbs, and most Aries men can’t exist for long, without the excitement and action of the city There may be some who can, but they're few and far between, and even they like to ?ash around in the bright lights on weekends. Camping and hiking aside, he’s not a farm boy at heart. If he has a Taurus Moon Sign or Ascendent. he may plant a few potatoes or milk a few cows, but essentially, for him, the pull of the sod will never replace grabbing a taxi to catch a miracle. Sparks may also ?y in thearea of mutual funds, because their attitude toward money is not necessarily mutual He wants a new car; she wants a new freezer. Things like that. His favorite man at the bank is the one in the Loan Department. ‘Her favorite man at the bank is the one in the Savings Department. You know how bankers like to push their own thing, so these two outsiders don't help matters any by pulling the Bull and the Ram apart However, when he spends money on jewelry for her, or on furniture for the house, she may be more loose about it. Taurus females usually appreciate ?ne jewels and luxurious decor in the home, but they’ll expect these things to be practical, made to last for a few hundred years before they need to be replaced. Despite her general tranquility, she may lose her cool if he burns holes in her new couch or spills grape juice on her carpet (before marriage, you can substitute her new skirt or her carefully clutched pocketbook for the couch and carpet). It's hard for him to figure why she gets so upset over such small  incidents. To Aries, crying over spilled milk (or grape juice) is a huge waste of time. If something is lost, broken or damaged, there's always more where it came from. Taurus has a few doubts about that. Fortunately, most of their disagreements can be smoothed over by reconciliations at bedtime since the physical relationship between them can be snugly satisfying. The Aries male is certainly not unhappy about the Taurus woman's capacity for sensual, erotic feeling, but he may be somewhat frustrated by her lack of mystical creativity when it comes to making love. She welcomes sex as a practical and enjoyable activity that brings a total grati?cation of the senses and the added bonus of producing some bouncing bambinos. She may, therefore, fail to comprehend why sex should be like a wild dream that transports two souls to the top of a mountain in Tibet, like a comet streaking across the night sky—or a miracle connected with throwing three coins into the Fountain of Trevi, in Rome. To her, sex is sex. Love is love. What does any of it have to do with tossing a few Lincolns into some dirty, green water—or with comets, for that matter? This woman has a funny bone about sex, since Taurus humor isn't restricted to any one facet of Life. It’s broad. If the Aries man should happen to step on a tack as he's running passionately toward the bed on their honeymoon, she'll crack up laughing. His reaction P It may postpone the honeymoon a few days——or nights--until his Martian male ego has recovered.
Still, although she may remain mysti?ed by his romantic idealism during their entire association together, it needn't necessarily cause complete sexual incompatibility. There are deep emotional wells in her, and it’s possible that her ultra-feminine response to the Ram's strong, direct love urges, plus her obvious pleasure with his masculine charisma, may eventually make him wonder why he thought he had to go climbing mountains in search of happiness anyway. It's possible. Not certain, but possible. (Aries is reluctant
to accept substitutes for miracles.) A word of warning: Just because the Taurus girl doesn't pick up every
nuance of the Aries sexuality, this should not be interpreted to mean that she’s not sentimental or romantic. She is. Oh, she most certainly isl If she's ignored on February 14th, or if he forgets to remember the day they ?rst met (first made love together, ?rst decided to get married, got married or whatever, in whichever order), the inconsiderate, thoughtless Ram who neglected to honor these historic occasions will never hear the‘ end of it. This woman has a memory like an elephant for personal injury and emotional hurt. Some of the astrological descriptions of the Taurus female make her seem like a contented cow in a pasture, and that’s pretty insulting. So what if she isn't overtly ?ashy, the center of attention at every gathering ? Her quiet beauty is like a still pool, ?lled with fragrant lilies, deep in a piney forest.‘ Taurus magnetism pulls powerfully on a man’s heartstrings, because it promises such peace and rich adventure, especially on a Ram's restless heartstrings. The Aries male soon discovers that this feminine creature, who is so calm and composed (the way he’d secretly like to be himself), can fill his spirit with fresh ?owers, ?ll his house with the music of love and companion~ ship, besides being an uncommonly good cook. In addition, she can fill his heart with lots of laughs, and a loyal devotion that can outlast forever. She also knows how to accumulate and save money. No cow could pull off all that. This girl can well afford to leave the false lashes (which look like spiders’, legs) to the less-female types than she. She's all warm woman, and she doesn't need the masquerade of arti?cial glamour to prove it. What she may need to do, however, is to climb out of her earthy rut, now and “then. A lady Taurean can seem pretty cold and heartless to the friendly, direct and open-hearted Aries man when she's made up her mind about something, and slammed the door in the face of any further discussion. If he shouts at her that she's stubborn at such times, it will do about as much good as when she tells him, ?rmly, that he’s sel?sh and spoiled. In a word—- none. Who, her—stubborn? Who, him—sel?sh and spoiled ? It wouldn't be wise for either of them to hold his or her breath until the other admits such character de?ciencies.
Lots of affection, plenty of ambition, honesty and the guarantee of ?nancial security are the four ways to her heart. An Aries man can supply the ?rst three with no difficulty, but he may have to make some adjustments in his general life-style to meet her expectations of the last item. Aries incomes do tend to often ?uctuate, and that can make this lady very nervous. Normally, of course, she's not nervous-only when her emotional or ?nancial security is threatened. At most other times, she exudes a placid mystique that can be deliciously ‘relaxing, in particular, to a Ram. It can also be a substantial aid in recharging the batteries of this man's dynamic Mars energies when he's run down from his various mental, emotional or physical excesses. (An Aries man will jog till he drops.) Admittedly, when she goes into'one of her very rare rages, her placid mystique can change into anger of volcanic proportions, without much of a warning. But it happens so seldom, it’s one of"the least likely causes for trouble in their relationship--unless the Ram is foolish enough to insist on trying to win these infrequent, but dangerous, encounters. It will never happen. Retreat is the expedient strategy. Co ?ght an earthquake. -

ARIES woman.. TAUBFS Man

 ARIES woman..           TAUBFS Man


                 
   “Get your things, Peter," she cried, shaking.
       “No,” he answered. . . . “I am not going with you.”
                    “Yes, Peter.” No


A romantic involvement with a Taurus man is sure to be an educational experience for the Aries female. She thinks immovable objects (him) are simply things to kick aside, leap over or melt with the irresistible force of
Mars heat (hers). Not this one She shoves— he sits. She pushes— he pouts. She demands—he digs in.
Then, look out. The next step could be: she weeps—he walks. Away, that is—~for keeps. But Bulls
 and Rams can do other things together. Like, ifshe smiles—he’ll soften. If she coaxes—he’ll cuddle. If she bear-hugs-he'llbeam. You’ll notice it ’s always she who initiates the first move between them. . of any kind. They may quarrel about money (her extravagance--his economy), or lock horns over the Aries need for excitement, and the Taurus need for peace and quiet. But with some effort at adjusting to each other’s different metabolisms and personal mannerisms, this man and woman can find a rare and very cozy contentment "together. Since she demands, and requires (both), an abnormal amount of free- dom, it's a fortunate thing the Bull is not unduly jealous. He's not jealous, but he is very possessive. The difference between these two qualities can be found in the dictionary—or through living with each other. She’s jealous.
He’s possessive. They should carefully check Webster, and take it from there. Yes, a Taurus man is stubborn, there’s no denying this astrological fact. His sometimes blind, unreasonable bull-headedness can be unpleasantly aroused, if an Aries girl wants him to pick daisies with her when he wants to snooze-—if she subjects him to her friends, when he wants to quietly read- (at other times, he’1l be happy to entertain them all with his marvelous humor)—or if she insists on spending more than he earns, faster than h doesn’t earn it. Yet a well-loved Bull will bear up under a great deal of “sound and fury, signifying nothing” but noise and nonsense, with tranquil aplomb. Normally, helll take it with an unruffled good nature when she
fights with his boss or his relatives, ‘howls with a toothache, loses her engagement ring in the mashed potatoes at a restaurant, and doesn’t realize it until after they've left, the place is closed and the garbage truck has already done its ruthless chop-chop thing. A contented Taurus man will patiently put up with most Aries misguid- ed missiles of enthusiasm unless he's pressed too hard, and too often. Then,
he's likely to erupt into the infrequent but ever latent and smoldering Taurean anger. Rams who have never been exposed to the Bulls anger should not press their luck. And that happens to be a most serious astrological warning, in no way intended to be humorous. I If he's handled gently, with a decent amount of consideration for his own feelings, this man will stick by the girl Ram he loves through the darkest storms, like a steady rock of solid love, covering the miseries of her mistakes with a warm, protective blanket of sheer devotion. It's rather like coming home, all safe and secure, from a long journey through a frightening nightmare of rejection, where no one really cares or understands. He cares, even if he can’t quite understand her temporary emotional traumas. And he'll usually back up his caring with a dependable bank account, and a leakless roof over her head (not to mention a well-stocked refrigerator), to the very best of his steady ability, while he builds slowly and surely for an even more secure, and even luxurious, future.
In the average love affair or marital relationship between the Bull and the Aries woman, she'll provide the ideas and the energy while he provides the stability and security. This applies to both the financial and the sexual aspects of their cooperative venture. Although Taurus men are as practical about love as they are about everything else, they’re also deeply afiectionate, quietly romantic and deeply sentimental. The Aries woman who’s grown into the mistaken impression that her usually undemonstrative Taurus lover or husband doesn't really lov her anymore will never fail to be periodically surprised by receiving an extravagant Valentine, or other card, on some unexpected holiday, which expresses the shy Taurean feelings tenderly and eloquently, in the words of the verse. Still, there could be some problems concerning the physical sharing of
their love, after the first magnetic attraction of Male-Positive and Female- Negative polarity loses its novelty. Sex is, to the Aries woman, a form of release—-mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. It’s the visible manifesta- tion of the Mars Faith and Strength combined, in a powerful urge of self- expression. To her, sexual activity justifies itself as a thrilling fantasy, which could, in some miraculous way, known only to her, make every dream she's ever dreamed come true. Sex is, to the Taurus man, a normal and natural function, for the purpose of achieving two very tangible and sensible results—the satisfaction of sensual and erotic flesh needs—and children.  Afamily. She’s compelled to release the Mars sexual energy, even if it doesn't
result in much of anything, except frustration--and imaginative romancing is absolutely essential to her. He doesn't see the sense in releasing any kind energy unless its purpose is to produce something practical and useful -—and the typical Taurean does not regard daydreams as either essential or produc- tive. Consequently, the girl Ram may gradually and eventually become impatient with her Bull’s desire for frankly sensual and somewhat unimagina- tive lovemaking-—-and he may (at a relatively slower rate of speed) become honestly puzzled by the trip to the stars she feels must be synonymous with passion, in private, wistfully wishing he could take her there but sensing they might get lost, because he’s uncertain of the route . . . and after all, there’s no map to guide him. A harmonious relationship between their mutual Suns,
Moons and Ascenclents will miracle away these differences in their natures, and allow the two of them to achieve a rich fulfillment through their sexual union, as well as in every other facet of their togetherness.
However, with a tense aspect between their natal Luminaries and/or Ascendents, it may be difficult for the Aries female to keep the Bull in her pasture, unless she makes a constant and conscious effort to please him, an unselfish urge that does not come naturally to the typical Arian. It takes mountains of hurt and resentment to make a Taurus man leave a woman he's once loved (or permit her to leave his possessive domain), but once he goes, he is gone. Permanently. A little tenderness today can prevent a lot of tears
tomorrow. Despite the many arguments these two are almost destined to have in the area of both mutual and individual finances, she'll soon learn a touching truth about her Taurus man's attitude toward money, which is so vastly different from her own (assuming they’re both typical of their Sun Signs, and their birth charts don't confuse matters with la variety of planetary positions that create the exceptions that prove the astrological rules). In the beginning, she’ll think he's an outright tightwad, and he'll think she's as improvident and
careless with cash as they make females (he believes they're all made, more or less, in a similar extravagant mold). Gradually, however, his great Bull's heart will be moved, when he slowly comprehends that her carelessness with cash is nearly always motivated by impulsive generosity He'll see that, although she
spends a good deal of money on herself (Aries represents the first astrological house; therefore, all Rams are exceptionally concerned with their physical appearance), she spends even more through her gestures of giving, much in the sense that a child gives, with a feeling of sheer delight in pleasing others and receiving the reward of their happy smiles. He’ll probably relax his attitude somewhat then, regarding his initial disapproval of her wild and carefree spending. In fact, after their relationship has had time to solidify into a permanent pattern, her spontaneous generosity may even cause him to love her more.
At the same time he’s learning to adapt to her financial looseness, even afiectionately, she will be discovering that he’s not such a miser as she first thought him to be. She'll realize that his caution stems from his uncontrolla- ble need to be sure of tomorrow's security, his deep-seated fear of being suddenly thrown out into the street and forced to rely upon the charity of others or the govemment, which would kill his proud spirit of self-sufficiency. And she'll see that, once her stubborn, but kind-hearted, steadfast and loyal Bull knows their future is reasonably insured (not excessively, as is the case with the typical Crab or Goat), he's genuinely generous. Barring an afllicted Moon or Ascendent in Earth or Water elements, he’ll be as tickled as she to give gifts to their friends and families, and lend money to those who need it without pressing them for repayment--as long as his basic nest egg fo tomorrow is left untouched, the amount of which, of course, varies with each individual Bull. , But the typical Taurus male won’t take huge chances with his security. if his Aries woman tries to convince him that they should move into a better apartment or house, and trust a promise someone made to them regarding future paychecks, commissions or bonuses, to make up the differ-
ence in rent or mortgage payments, she's engaged in a futile endeavor. The Bull won't move an inch until he's sure he can handle the extra burden. T Taurus there 's never been a promise since the world began that's been made of anything but talk and thin air--both materials he’s found to unreliable for the purpose of building anything concrete and lasting. Yet. when push comes to shove (an excellent descriptive phrase to use with Taurus) this man will share half of whatever he has with anyone whose real
need he's been made aware of, most especially his family, friends. . . . and the woman he loves. V
There may be times when the Bull’s stubbornness seems like the coldest kind of cruelty to an Aries girl. For example, he may say something unkind to her in public, when she's been frisking too much for his taste and acting up in general, and it will cut her to the quick. She'll try to force him to apologize, openly or at least to admit he didn't mean it (which he didn't. andshe knows it), while he sullenly refuses to grant her the verbal solace and reassurance she's seeking (or, rather, demanding). As she continues first to command, then finally to plead with him to retract his statement, he'll grow even more silent and removed, like a chunk of marble, unseeing, unhearing,unfeeling - apparently. Then she'll impulsively run out, angrily weeping, into the night. He's the coldest, cruelest man she's ever known, and it’s all over between them. He can’t do that to her A few blocks clown the street (maybe twenty or more, depending on the extent of the adrenalin she was generating when she stormed out of the place where she left him)—she sees a coffee shop, and
wanders inside, to sit by herself, crying all over her donuts, and fiercely hating him. ...until their favorite song hits her ears, from the ceiling speakers, reminding her of what she's lost by walking out on him. So. she
pays her check, leaves hastily and ends up standing on a street corner, forlorn and alone, trying to hail a taxi to take her home--sorry, at last-—and now really frightened. It's late, there are no taxis anywhere, and she has to walk home, giving her time to think over a lot of things as she hurries down streets that seem unusually quiet and deserted. But... who is that there in the shadows, leaning calmly against the building across the way, waiting patiently for her ? It’s him. He's still there She feels a surge of happiness as she runs across the street into his safe arms. He didn't go away and leave her after all. lt’s all right again. No, he didn't go away—this time. He'll probably still be there, patiently waiting for her after the next fiery, emotional, farewell scene too. But, someday . . . . . If she's wise, she'll count her blessings before it's too late.

                                      The ARES-TAURUS Relationship

                                           Above, where all had been so
still, the
                                              air was rent with shrieks and the clash Vof                                                                                     steel.
              Below, there was dead silence.ecause Rams and Bulls each have tough horns, the determination of
Aries and the stubbornness of Taurus might seem to be identical traitsThey are not, and numerous incidentswill occur between the two ofthem to make the distinction clear.
For example, an Aries parent wants a Taurus child to eat, and empha-sizes it with a Martian command like: “You swallowevery bite of that Wheat Germ and pick up your spoon this second, do you hear me ?" That's
determination.The Taurus child sits quietly, not moving a muscle, gazeslback steadily
and says, “No.” That’s stubbornness. ~An Aries boss wants a Taurean employee to work on his or her day off and states firmly, “I need you on Saturday, and it may take all day, so cancel any other plans you have." That’s determination. ‘The Taurus employee calmly answers, “I'm busy Saturday. Get someone
else. " That's stubbornness.After a few encounters, the difference between the two traits will
become evident. Determination initiates Stubbornness reacts. The first IS a Positive action. The second is Negative re-action. Therefore, in any clash between Aries and Taurus, the Ram starts it and the Bull finishes it. ltls important to remember that. Taurus won’t forget it. Taurus doesn’t forget anything.
Although Aries people get accused of running around burning their bridges behind them, and shooting off sparks in reckless abandon, they have their gentle moments too. Taurus people get accused of alwayspouting and brooding like dull globs of earth, ready to smother Arian enthusiasms in negative silence. But Bulls have their imaginative moments too, when it suits them, and they possess a thoughtful wisdom and wonderfully warm sense of humor behind that pragmatic exterior. Still, the essential differences between
these two Sun Signs must be faced.Rams are inclined to be aggressive, impulsive, bossy, extravagant.
talkative and optimistic They pursue excitement and quick results--and they require a dash of magic to make life interesting. ’Bulls are inclined to be reserved, practical. usually sparing with words and self-sufficient, though somewhat pessimistic. They pursue stability.solitude and sure things—and they require lots of rest and tranquility to make life bearable You can see right away that these people are not the Bobbsey Twins.Their inner motivations, not to mention their outward actions, tend to wander in divergent directions. However, sometimes it's beneficial to knock around with someone who possesses the qualities you lack. Because this is a 2-12 Sun- Sign Pattem association, the Taurean is more apt to be tolerant and sympa- thetic toward the Ram, and the Aries will try to imitate the Bull's placid stability After all, placid stability is more or less synonymous with strength. and Aries people will try ar|ything—even if it's against their natures-to gain more strength. Weakness is a four letter word to both the Ram and the Bull. Although Bulls are equally fond of strength they’re temporarily (until their true ruler, PAN~I-IORUS, ° is “discovered” and named) ruled by Venus. which tempers the whole thing somewhat, so they're not as intense about proving it or flaunting it as the Mars-ruled Arian. Taureans understand the compulsion behind Aries courage and flashing independence, since every Sun Sign carries the seeds or karmic memory of the qualities of the sign immediately preceding it in the zodiac. as with every 2-12 Pattern. But because the Bull has already been there, in an unconscious sense, he's also aware of the pitfalls involved in throwing caution to the four winds. The Taurus goal of financial security, however, can often be obtained through cooperation with the tireless drive and energy of the Mars person, and Taureans instinctively know this, which is one reason why they're attracted to Aries in the first place. As for the Ram. he or she secretly envies the Taurus reserve and sensible outlook, and could profit immensely from being exposed to the Bull’s realistic approach to life. Every Sun Sign unconsciously senses there are lessons to be learned from the sign immediately following or ahead of it in the zodiac, in a 2-12 vibration. This is why Aries feels drawn by the dependability of Taurus, as something tangible to lean on when that Mars rashness brings on a shower of trouble.
If a free flow of give-and-take can be established between the Bull and the Ram, their natures could blend in such a way that each could attain with the other, through their association, what it would be diffieult to realize alone. The danger inherent in the mixing of their Mars-Venus auras is that the Ram, on occasion, ma exasperate the Bull beyond his (or her) great limits of endurance, until the Taurean finally makes up that very stubborn Bull mind, after long deliberation, that it’s no longer worth the effort. Conversely, there’s always the possibility that the Bull may so frequently refuse to catch fire from the Ram's many flaming ideas, sparks of ideals and dreams, that the Aries person will eventually leave in desperation, to avoid depression -- which no Mars-ruled man, woman or child can tolerate for long periods of time, without relief.
The Ram may be puzzled, and frequently frustrated, by the Bull's periodic spells of melancholy and introversion, eventhough it’s relieved by lots of fun and giggles and from time to time may coax the Bull into parties and social activities, which, if it’s not overdone, may help to balance the Taurean’s instinctive “loner instinct"—a trait best not overemphasized. Encouraging the Bull of either ‘sex, or any age, to express the innate Taurus love of form and color in music or art—or suggesting ways to retreat to the fields, woods and hills (all Bulls have an intense, even if buried, love of Nature)——are all ways the Aries person can use to coax Taurus into more placidity and peace The major mistake made by most Arians with a Taurus friend, relative, business associate, lover or mate, is to press the Bull into a decision. It will never work. Never The Bull must decide in his tor her) own time.Demanding, pushing and insisting (the typical Mars strategy, when Aries desires are blocked) will only make Taurus more unwilling to budge, often causing these people to become totally uncommunicative. If Taurus believes that the suggestion is valid and sensible, he (or she) will consider it, and finally say “okay " Until then—and otherwise—no power on Earth can force the situation prematurely. That’s the way it is, and no one, not even a fiery Ram, is going to change it. If the Bull can learn, as they say out West, to ride “loose in the saddle" with the Ram, and not always expect the Aries person to be practical, the association will also be smoother Rams must be allowed to express them- selves through their own Mars pattern. which must contain a certain amount of violent ups and downs. in order to eventually learn that impulsive, rash behavior usually brings regret. The Aries person will undoubtedly benefit from the nearness of a more stable Taurean to lean on when things go wrong—-and he (or she) will accept advice with surprising docility from the Bull, as long as it's tempered with tenderness, and isn't offered so frequently
or dogmatically as to make the Ram feel’ “fenced in." Aries people of all sizes, shapes, ages and sexes must be allowed to forge ahead without undue restriction. or too much negative disapproval. Actually.
silent disapproval disturbs the bright. hopeful Aries spirit even more than spoken disapproval. It seems, somehow, to the direct Ram, more ominous and threatening—and just plain "scary." Remember, Aries is the symbolic newborn Infant, just as Taurus is the symbolic older baby. (See the “The Twelve Mysteries of Love" in the front of this book.) If the Ram's spontaneous enthusiasms are constantly buried beneath a ton of -earthy Taurean “don'ts. " he-she may become a frustrated Sheep-—a Ram whose ego. has been cruelly nipped in the bud of blossoming. The Arian needs to be cautioned against all that brimming-over excitement, now and then, but cautioned lightly, and with much gentleness. Aries discovers the new country, whether it’s geographical --or a mental continent. With the direct penetration of Mars to the core of any situation.
the Ram leads and pioneers both the land—~and innovative ideas. Then the Bull can enter into his or her own natural activity of building, of turning the country or idea Aries has discovered and pioneered, into a thriving com_muni- ty——or a concept that becomes practical and useful. All human relationships—-Life itself ~must have, for Taurus, a clear purpose, and a definite function. Lacking a defined goal of usefulness, in the midst of scattered thoughts, and aimless activities, the Bull becomes confused, and finally withdraws. He (or she) leams only through the senses and through experience, and only by exercising a Fixity of intention can this Fixed Sun Sign remain true to himself —or herself To Taurus, every thing, and every person, has a proper place, and should stay there, serving its purpose, never pretending to be something it's not. Aries behaves and dreams in a straight line, always going forward, ignoring the fact that both ends of that straight line are wide open to the winds of fate, whereas Taurus behaves and dreams in a circle, which encompasses lessons of the past and careful plans for the future, leaving no opening for failure due to irresponsible action.
The Ram can help the Bull break open that circle to let in the light of optimism and new ideas—and the Bull can assist the Ram to bend the direct Mars straight-line of activity and feeling into at least a semicircle shape, to help close out some of the inevitable disappointments that will be met throughout the eventful, Aries roller coaster existence. It’s a strange and lovely thing that music, in any form, will almost always serve to build a bridge of understanding between Aries and Taurus and heal some of the hurt caused by each other’s personality differences, which can be vast. Since the Sun is exalted in Aries, these people frequently feel that victory has been won even before the battle. Every Ram feels an identification with Birth, Spring and the ecstasy of Easter—the resurrection. It's the reason for that soul's existence—the miracle he (or she) possesses to innocently offer other Sun Signs—the way Aries people serve both mankind and their true,
inner self. Aries believes in the triumph of Life over Death, of Faith over Doubt However, behind his (or her) bravado lurks the peculiar emotional insecurity of the Ram (those karmic memory seeds from Pisces, just behind Aries, on the astrological circle) -,—and the attempts of an Earth Sign to hold him (or her) back in any way only result in an increase of this hidden vulnerability. Then, an Aries person will either suddenly and violently shatter all ties with the smothering Taurean—or submit, and fall into a sad neurosis, completely unnatural to the Mars Life Force. For the reason that the combining of Mars determination with Taurus
willfulness creates an immense amount of sheer power, ancient astrologers warned that a blend of the Aries—Taurus qualities, if not carefully balanced, can result in great cruelty. Adolph Hitler’s severely afflicted Taurus Sun and Aries Ascenclent.(plus other negative natal aspects) is the classic example of this warning ignored. It can occur within the birth chart of one individual- or become manifest through an association between a Ram and a Bull, depending always on the planetary positions of both at birth. The tendency
may, of course, be overcome, through enlightenment, and many Rams and Bulls produce an equally powerful alchemy of kindness and beneficence via their association. But there are, unfortunately, for example, some Aries and Taurus people who channel such negativity by becoming “hunters-for-sport." expressing the dark side of Aries courage and Taurus strength in a cruel manner, which causes them to be, instead, if they only comprehended it- cowardly—in the worst sort of way. Shooting a wild animal in cold blood, including deer, rabbits, ducks, pheasants and all our feathered friends in the sky—then carrying the silent corpse through town, as a trophy of macho, IS a pathetic kind of cowardice in its lowest form—not the demonstration of
“manhood” or “womanhood” some believe it to be. If the Sun and Moon in the birth charts of the Ram and the Bull are inharmoniously aspected, in mutual Luminary relation to each,0ther, the danger of cruelty must be guarded against carefully. However, when the natal Sun of the Ham is beneficently aspected to the natal Moon of the Bull (or vice versa) and if their mutual Ascendents are also harmonious, in a triple exchanged aspect, Taurus can help Aries soar to the heights of happiness and serendipity by supporting the Ram's emotional balloon flights of fancy with warm, kindly patience (also by providing a comforting, soft patch of Earth to fall on when the string breaks.) And the Ram can lead Taurus to the higher slopes of the imagination, up where the windswept view of the future is as

huge and grand as the Bull’s own sturdy dreams.
          The End  .  

 ARIES Woman ARIES Man
  
So uproariously gay was the dance, and how they bu?eted
each other on the bed and out of itl It was a pillow
?ght rather than a dance, and when it was ?nished, the
pillows insisted on one bout more . . .
As ?ercely independent, bright and clever as the Aries girl is, the Aries man is
even more so— in his own opinion. And he'll demand recognition of it
eventually, no matter how he fools her, and himself, in the beginning. Fromf
the very first time she pushes through_a_dQ_gr ahead of himLhe’ll feel the faint
stirring of aydesire to teach her that, in any tangle between ski-rl and a boy
Ram, the male of the Sun\Sign will win. He should decide to thus subdue her
early in the game, or say goodbye. There may be a few noisy, tearful
skirmishes before she catches on, but she’ll blossom beautifully when she's
allowed-no, forced—-to become a woman. .
However, demanding that she drop her career or job to take up the full-
time job of waiting on his whims is not the most ideal way to unfold her
womanhood, and establish his manhood. There are other ways. Unless she
willingly sacrifices her “pre-them” occupation to warm his slippers, or join
him in his-personal goals] forgetting her own (which sometimes happens), it’s
best for him to let her stay out there where it’s all happening. It would also be
a wise mutual decision to let it be his income that pays the rent or mortgage,
food and utilities bills. Her money can provide the extra things they'll need
to satisfy the extravagant impulses they both frequently feel. That way, the
male Aries will be solidly entrenched in the image of the masculine side of
the team, and it’s important to get that straight, right at the start
I mean, let it be plainly understood that he is MAN and she is W OMA§J
There will be lots of opportunities to wonder about the division of actual
control in the relationship, and there’s no sense adding to this by a confusion
of sexual male-female roles.
now, dear Aries girl, when you're honest with yourself, would it all have been
quite so magical if the ?ery, courageous Princess had come charging bravely
into the woods on her horse to claim her Prince and rescue him from the
Wicked Witch? The same meditation should be practiced on all the other
faerie tales she still believes in, and dreams of every fortnight or so. Imagine
dainty Cinderella, red-faced, pu?ing and perspiring, as she tried to shove a
glass Hush-Puppy on her Prince’s foot, to see if it ?tted him. Mother Nature
knows what she’s doing. The Aries man—woman relationship will stand a
better chance of success if she permits him to steal her Mars thunder. It
somehow sounds better coming from him—if he doesn't carry it too far.
Besides, since she’s no stranger to toughness herself, she knows very well, if
she'll stop to ponder it, that his tough Aries facade is only a cover for his
quivering Aries idealism, his desperate inner longing to be needed—and
noticed.
All right, so she should notice him as he sits there astride his white horse,
shooting off all that Aries bossiness to disguise his secret fear that no one will
ever love him as much as he knows he needs to be loved (which is
c0nsiderable)—unless he demands it. This man can be very tender and
gentle, for all his brash independence, and he's an expert at pretending he's
not hurt when he's actually been deeply wounded. She knows how that is.
Since they’re both aware of all these Mars secrets about each other, you’d
think they would cool the ?reworks, but it usually takes more than one
painful lesson to teach them the futility of constant ego challenges. Often, the
ultimate lesson is the frightening experience of nearly losing each other, then
realizing at the last minute, before the ultimate and ?nal disaster—like the
old silent ?lms Perils of Pauline serial—that meeting Force with “Force
never works.
If she'll do all her Mars charging at her man's enemies, instead of at him,
he'll adore her for it, and in return he'll give her every bit as much loyalty as
she gives him. That’s certainly a fair trade. But somebody has to start it.
It may seem at first that these two are well mated sexually, since they
both require essentially the same thing.,0f l0ve—that it be the kind of
physical-emotional blending poets write about as the epitome of the soul-
mate theory, which nearly every Arian believes in as absolute romantic
dogma. Whether they use the term "soul-mate" itself or not, Rams never
doubt, when they love, that their union was not only Made In Heaven, but
also made to last throughout a lifetime—and beyond. However, before this
potential peak of harmony becomes a reality, a serious obstacle must be
0vercorne—the instinctive, although almost always unintentional, sel?shness
of this Sun Sign.
Now, everything everybody wants to know about sex (whether he-or
she——has beenafraid to ask or not) is based on either deliberate or non-
deliberate sel?shness, using the partner for self-grati?cation. Not how can I
bring him (or her) more ful?llment, but how can I be more fulfilled‘? Sex-
sex-sex. Doctors David Reuben, Masters and Johnson, Kinsey and Freud,
have all explained it, tested it, researched it, analyzed it, observed it.
photographed it, taped it, listened to it, written about it—-just about every-
thing but demonstrated it in public auditoriums. (Too much competition
from stage, ?lm and magazines.) But most men and women still haven't
received the message.
It might be a good idea for these Mars lovers to buy one of those large
posters, showing a couple walking, blissfully hand-in-hand, toward the
molmtains, the ocean or the comiields, gazing into each oLher's eyes . . with
the inscription at the bottom: LOVE BEGINS WHEN THE NEEDS OF
SOMEONE ELSE BECOME MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR
OWN .and nail it ?rmly near their bed, right next to the tapestry
depicting THE WEDDING OF ROMEO AND ]ULIET, which always
hangs in spirit, if not in actuality, on the wall of every Aries bedroom. Romeo
and Juliet were also soul-mates, you see—but they were unsel?sh. It's not
necessary for the Aries man and woman to end their honeymoon with a
double suicide scene in order to prove unsel?shness. A little thoughtful
consideration on both sides will suffice.
When these traces of infantile sel?shness have been erased by tender-
ness, the sexual sharing of love between these two can be an ecstatic
exchange. With Aries, sex is composed of strange contradictions, barely
comprehended, causing their mating to be an incredible combination of
explosive desire, direct and penetrating, ?ery and uncontrolled... and
haunting fragments of ?owers in the rain, fresh breezes and glittering snow
diamonds. That’s what happens when the powerful thrust of Mars is gentled
by being expressed through the naivete and starry wonder of the symbolic
Aries Infant. It creates a rare and startling blend of abandoned, stormy
emotion—and the peace of a still and silent dawn. At once primitive——and
poetic. The alchemy of equal parts of searing passion and fragile innocence is
v_ery nearly a holy thing. Obviously, then, at its very best, the sexual union
between two Rams can be an experience to cherish Even at its worst, it will
be.....interesting.
What will she do if he ?irts with other girls ? Well, what would he do if
she ?irts with other men ? Same thing. An emotional explosion of the
~ hydrogen bomb magnitude—which is just as foolish and suicidal to love as
the actual hydrogen bomb is to our planet. Each Ram will let the other lmow
immistakably that iron bars on individual freedom will not be tolerated. But
it's a one-sided freedom, since each of them refuses to be strangled by
jealousy, while at the same time displaying intense jealousy of the other. Aries
people do tend to want to have their cake and eat it, and it may take several
noisy, emotional scenes to teach them that they can't have it both ways.

Theylll have to learn that love's not a game to be won, a battle to be fought or
even a prize to be won. It's a gift——t0 be given. Rams will demand a lot of
things from life, and get them. But no one, not even an Aries, can demand
love
He'll make it clear that she should not dare to be jealous of him, but she
had better not even look at another man. She'll make it just as clear that he’s
not to smother her with jealousy, but at the same time, hid better not be
caught glancing with the slightest ?icker of interest at another woman.
You know what that is?‘ It's sel?sh. If you’re an Aries, you may not
have thought about it like that, but think about it. Rams can even become
jealous if they notice a smile on the loved one's face in sleep. Who is he (or
she) dreaming about? And_don't believe that very question hasn't been asked
by lots of Aries couples in the morning. “Well, you must have had pleasant
dreams last night. Were you meeting your old boy friend in your astral
body 7*" And don’t think the answer hasn't been: “It's none of your business
what I dream. Besides, I noticed you weren't so anxious to wake up when I
kissed you Cood Morning just now. Were you lying there, half awake,
practicing mental telepathy with that girl you ?irted with at the supermarket
last week ?”
There are variations of dialogue, but such confrontations are a de?nite
possibility when two Rams have promised to love, honor and cherish—but
never to obey! The solution is for these two to practice their own telepathic
communication, and to reassure each other of their undying devotion
constantly, because the symbolic Infant's subconscious fear of losing love lis
at the bottom of all Aries jealousy, incongruous as it may seem, as it struggles
with the conscious Mars urge for personal independence. If he forgets to call
to say he'll be later for dinner, who better than she should understand his
need to follow a sudden impulse without ?rst holding a committee meeting ?
Should the winds of April call him away from the hearth, she may be
simultaneously called to follow her own skylark cadenza, and when they
return to each other, they can exchange magical tales of the wonders they
nearly touched, the miracles they almost caught. An Aries man who's out
there rushing after some new, exciting goal he just discovered is simply being
true to himself, and the Aries woman who faces the truth must admit she
couldn't really love a man who wasn't true to himself. The new, exciting goal
needn’t be a woman. Not unless it becomes a woman through her unfounded
jealousy If she trusts him completely, she probably won't regret it, became
an Aries man, more so than any other Sun Sign male, will usually live up to
exactly what's expected of him. And that works in reverse too. What's sauce
for the goose is surely sauce for the gander between these lovers.
A couple of years ago I received a letter from an Aries woman married to
an Aries man. They have three children, one Gemini and two Taureans
 Shedescribed so well the happiness that can result from a double 1-1 Sun Sign
vibration (with some effort) that I'm going to quote part of her letter here.
She wrote, in part:
“ . . . .
. . and when I read aloud the last paragraph of the Aries woman
section, in your book Sun Signs, to my also Aries husband—the part that
says, ‘She may be a little impulsive, bossy and independent, but you cant
have everything’—he asked, ‘What else would a man want P’ My Aries
husband understands me, and he'll always be able to hold me, even though I
sometimes threaten to leave him when our Ram's horns clash. It's because. as
your book says-— when I ‘come running into his arms, my world all dark and
dismal’—he holds me close, and comforts me, and would never, never say-——
‘What did you do to deserve it 1”--like that darned Libra man you wrote
about in Sun Signs! I never realized before just how important that 1S to
me.” i
So, you see, an Aries-Aries relationship can work. And the two of them
needn't sacri?ce their Mars courage, initiative or independence. The Aries
woman who wrote that letter ended it with a postscript:
“I have a tremendous urge to tell you to add Ayn Rand to your list of
prominent Aquarians. She ?ts it like a glove. But of course, you know I
wouldn't sign off this letter without at least one suggestion on how to run your
business."
An Aries to the end she was, but a girl Ram who’s learned to admit her
Mars need to take the lead, and can laugh about it, instead of either denying
it or being ashamed of it—has learned an important lesson. You must love
yourself (which requires both honesty and humor) before anyone else can
love you. I'm sorry to say Yve lost that lady Ram's name and address, sincel
typed out the eircerpt from her letter, and if she reads this, I hope she writes
again, so I can answer a vital question she asked.
If the Aries man and his Aries woman each practice the Golden Rule.
and do unto one another as they would have the other do unto them.
assuming their mutual Sun-Moon aspects are not discordant, their relationship
will bring to them both the reward of emotional maturity, plus the best of all
possible gifts—the freedom to be completely themselves with one another.
with no fear of rejection. p
When they quarrel, he may threaten to leave her in the heat of the
moment, but he probably won't. Not for keeps anyway. Once he's loved an
Aries woman, all other girls will seem boring. (Restful, perhaps, by compari-
son, but boring.)
She feels the same way about him when she threatens to leave and
doesn’t mean it. But she should try to remember that he can chop wood, blast
through granite mountains, pilot planes, build houses, govern a city, state or
nation, change tires, practice medicine or law, produce and direct ?lms.
