The turtle (Venus in Taurus) and the hare (Mars in Aries) meet in an unlikely match that may seem odd to some. Venus in Taurus is all about “slow and steady wins the race” when it comes to love and romance, while Mars in Aries is more the “wham, bam, thank you ma’am” type. Put the two together, and they may not see eye to eye. With a bit of dedication and effort though, these two can share many pleasurable interludes together.
