Both: Decide What You're Building
This relationship requires explicit vision-sharing early. Are you both willing to grow toward each other? Or are your fixed positions truly immovable? Honest answer first.
Taurus: Aquarius Is Not Abandoning You
Aquarius's independence needs are not personal rejection. Their freedom is what makes them fascinating to you. Possessing them destroys what attracted you.
