Astrological compatibility
Taurus and Leo
♉ Taurus (Earth, Fixed) · ♌ Leo (Fire, Fixed)
Taurus and Leo form a square, the aspect of friction: they share a modality but not an element, so both want the same thing in different ways. There's spark and there's clash; it works if they choose it.

Taurus and Leo in love
In love there's an attraction to what's different: Fire brings passion and adventure, Earth constancy. The challenge is rhythm — one wants it now, the other wants it certain.
In friendship and work
In friendship and work, both sustain and don't let up: total loyalty, but if they disagree neither gives in.
Why they get along this way
Element — Drive and pragmatism. Fire pushes Earth to take risks; Earth helps Fire make things concrete. If they don't respect each other's timing, one feels held back and the other rushed.
Rhythm. Both are fixed: both sustain. They understand each other's way of moving, but neither makes up for what the other lacks.
Polarity. Taurus is Yin and Leo is Yang: one goes outward and the other inward, and that balances them or pulls them apart.
Rulers. Taurus is ruled by Venus (affection and pleasure); Leo, by Sun (identity and radiance).
What each one brings
Taurus: determination, patience and loyalty.
Leo: creativity, natural leadership and generosity.
Where they can clash
Taurus: stubbornness, resistance to change and materialism.
Leo: perceived arrogance, a need for attention and pride.
How to look after the bond
Pick your fights and agree beforehand on who decides what. Used well, the tension of the square is an engine; used badly, it wears you down.
