Wild thing, you make my heart sing, you make everything groovy.
This is quite a delightful partnership; there are many gifts to unwrap when these two star signs come together. However, it’s not always the smoothest sensation, as a relationship between two fixed signs — especially Leo and Taurus, with very strong, well-defined personalities — can hit its rocky phases. Yet, there’s a lot of grit and determination to see it through to a successful conclusion.
With Taurus and Leo, we have two fixed astrology signs, which brings a double dose of commitment, loyalty, and determination. In fact, loyalty is a keyword here, because it is a priority for both signs.
What we also have here is Taurus ruled by Venus and Leo ruled by the Sun, both of these have a very affectionate, loving side to their personality, and therefore, the relationship has an ample dose of romance. They will want to charm and please each other.
Now, since they are both very focused, once they develop an attraction, they should get quite a lot of attention from each other. This relationship can be enhanced where either has a Gemini Moon or rising, or perhaps an Aquarius placement as well.
This relationship, I would say, has an 80% chance of success. In many cases, they can be soulmates, and the relationship can be deeply satisfying at an emotional level.
Romantic Compatibility Between Leo and Taurus
Here we have two creative, vibrant signs. Taurus and Leo both have an appetite for life and for good living. They enjoy things that are both expensive and more practical, as they appreciate the abundance of the universe.
Together, they can actually be very prosperous and may be successful in creating the home of their dreams, as well as supporting each other in career — and this keeps both of them highly engaged in the relationship.
For both of them, gifting and affection are powerful love languages. Communication’s not necessarily the be-all and end-all; what is so important in the romance between them is finding an emotional home with each other.
In terms of how they make each other feel, they help each other to feel secure, accepted, and nourished. Leo is certainly generous with their attention, and they can be a very good cheerleader and supporter — that makes Taurus feel very loved. Taurus are great at showing their affection, being charming, and spoiling Leo, which they love.
Taurus certainly enjoy romance, and they like to be creative romantically — that appeals to Leo, who likes things to be a little bit larger than life. They’ll rarely disappoint each other, and they also tend to be a couple who enjoy being seen together and socialising.
Sexual Compatibility
For Leo to be sexually aroused, their imagination has to be stimulated. Leo becomes passionate when they are able to achieve escapism and find almost a spiritual transcendence through sex.
What Taurus craves from sex is an escape from the struggles of life and help processing or making sense of things. So, because they both have a powerful need to escape via sex, this opens the door to them being very creative sexually.
What these two love together is having sex in unusual places, and they quite enjoy going away — on a holiday or road trip — as that tends to get the sexual juices pumping. They can be less likely to feel sexually aroused in a family situation or when they are in a routine.
So, the key for sexual attraction between these two zodiac signs is knowing how to shake things up, get away from everything they know, and do something that gets the adrenaline pumping and the imagination flowing. This usually involves incorporating some novelty or going somewhere brand new.
One of the faults of this couple is that they can get stuck in a routine, which does create security and happiness, but good sex is all about getting out of that routine and feeling that spark come alive in them once more.
Friendship Between Leo and Taurus
The friendship and communication factor between Leo and Taurus is firm. Initially, they gravitate towards each other; they naturally appreciate each other’s personality, and they find the relationship very affirming.
However, over time, they can begin to get jealous of each other and a little bit competitive. Both of these star signs have a possessive streak, and they also have double standards — they tend not to like it when either pays too much attention to other people or other activities, but it cuts both ways.
In order to maintain a powerful friendship, they need to be tolerant of each other’s space and freedom. Leo tends to want a bit more space than Taurus, but what’s good for the goose is good for the gander — once Leo wants space, Taurus wants it for themselves too.
Thus they have to be careful that they don’t both start swimming in a different direction or making too much of small issues. They often don’t communicate as well as they should, because of a lot of stubbornness and because both have knee-jerk reactions to things — and this can hamper the friendship.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
Both the Sun and Venus enjoy love and find relationships an important part of life. Being fixed signs, this pair will want to make a marriage work.
Taurus, with the Earth element, has sensuality, continuity, and the ability to deal with practical problems that keeps the relationship on track. Leo, being a fire sign, is more motivated and ambitious, and that can ensure that, as a couple, they achieve a lot together.
Leo brings a lot of confidence into the relationship, this also helps Taurus thrive. Taurus helps bolster Leo, because Leo is actually very sensitive and can sometimes be a little bit touchy, but Taurus tends to handle that very well.
There’s certainly long-term potential in this match, but as mentioned, things can get rocky, and that’s because both signs can be arrogant and both are very slow to change their minds. In arguments, neither wants to back down or admit they’re wrong, and sometimes both are making the same mistake but still refuse to acknowledge it.
This relationship is better when they are both more humble, have a little humility, and are able to step back and understand what’s important, what’s not, and let go of arrogance or pride.
Strengths and Challenges
The strengths of this relationship are a deep commitment to making the relationship work and a powerful emotional bond that helps both feel secure.
Their love languages are very similar, and this should be a match where romance never dies. There’s always something they are creating within their romantic and sexual life to keep the desire alive and the relationship interesting.
They’re both in it for the long haul and are likely to share similar values when it comes to family life and how to approach life in general. The fire of Leo helps motivate and push Taurus along a little bit, while the earthy sensuality of Taurus ensures that the Leo lion always has its ego stroked and can purr with satisfaction.
On the negative side, these signs don’t communicate very well because the ego tends to get involved — it becomes about winning the argument rather than solving the problem. They can double down on past mistakes, either together or separately, and this can undermine the relationship.
They don’t always listen properly to each other or fully acknowledge each other’s point of view. Sometimes, they make assumptions, which can also be unhelpful in helping the relationship progress. Leo can be a little touchy, and that’s when they start to assume the worst, which can lead Taurus to feel frustrated and lose their temper — leading to a downward spiral.
They can both be jealous and possessive, and they both need to acknowledge that while the relationship remains central and important, it’s also vital that they have other outlets in their lives. If either of these are very insecure, the jealousy and possessive streak can be enough to ruin the relationship.
Final Verdict
I would give this relationship an 80% chance of survival, because despite the problems, there’s an underlying zest and spice that keeps the relationship interesting, and there’s enough there to make them both live to fight another day.
They both have powerful personalities and can be a little egocentric; therefore, it’s undoubted that there will be times when they lock horns, disagree, and the relationship can go through a phase that is a little bit exhausting and contentious.
At the end of the day, they both have a reasonable side and will want to make amends. Sure, there are quite a few hurt feelings in this relationship, but both of them are thick-skinned enough to get over it.
They have to remember that escapism fuels their sexual life. One of the pitfalls of this cosmic match is that they can become too rooted, stagnant, and semi-satisfied. They have to remember to keep the relationship vibrant by always taking chances.
Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
Second and also first decan Taurus match well with Leo. First and then third decan Leo match best with Taurus.
