Here are some high-level aspects of the Leo-Taurus relationship:
The Leo zodiac sign is represented by the lion. The lion symbolizes courage, majesty, pride, protection, and wisdom. As a fire sign, Leo is also associated with the sun, warmth, and light.
Ancient civilizations, including the Mesopotamians, East Asians, and others, noticed a “lion” shape in the night sky. Inspired by what the animal symbolized, they gave the constellation a name that was associated with lions in their mother tongues.1
The Leo symbol, or glyph, represents a lion with a long mane or tail.
The Taurus zodiac sign is represented a bull. So, the Taurus glyph, or symbol, is depicted at a circle, representing the bull’s head, with a semi-circle, or two horns on top.
Why is the sign of Taurus associated with a bull? Because bulls are considered to be virile and powerful, they are associated with fertility and creating new life. The period of Taurus falls within the peak of spring, from April 20 – May 20, when the Earth is in a period of renewal and growth.
The ancient Greeks had a myth about a bull that they saw in the sky, which came to be called the Taurus constellation. (Taurus is the Greek word for bull.)
According to the story, there was once a beautiful Phoenician princess named Europa. (If her name sounds familiar, the continent of Europe is named after her.) Zeus, the king of gods, was smitten with her, so he disguised himself as a white bull. He then joined a herd of cattle owned by Europa’s father.
While Europa was gathering flowers, she saw the white bull, and finding it beautiful, approached it. Realizing that it was gentle, she climbed on its back. The bull rode away with her, even crossing the sea, and brought her to the island of Crete. There, he revealed his full identity and made Europa the queen of Crete. Once Zeus took his godly form again, he re-created his shape as a while bull out of stars in the sky. And this became the Taurus constellation.2
Good communication is essential for every healthy relationship. So, how well do Taurus and Leo communicate? Leo is an expressive, outgoing sign who likes to get their point across. Taurus, on the other hand, may be softspoken. However when they feel strongly about a point, it can be nearly impossible to change their mind.
Both Taurus and Leo are fixed signs, so they can become “fixated” on their own opinions and a little stubborn. The key for these two signs to have productive conversations will be to show each other respect by being good listeners and ensuring they don’t compete to dominate the conversation. In addition, it will be important that each tries to understand the other’s viewpoint.
Because of their element (earth), Taurus is naturally down to Earth. You don’t have to beat around the bush with a Taurus; you can tell it to them straight. In fact, they’ll appreciate it because Tauruses are also direct in their communication style.
Because of their sensitive nature, Taurus has a knack for knowing whether someone is telling the truth or not. So fib to a Taurus at your own peril!
Furthermore, Taurus is a sensual sign, so they appreciate getting together face to face particularly for important conversations vs. leaving voicemails and sending endless text messages.
Leos are natural communicators who want to express themselves. They will do this verbally as well as with their body language and even artistic expression.
Leos are direct, confident, and enthusiastic about what they want to express. Not to mention, because of their lion-like charm, they can be quite persuasive, winning people over to their way of thinking. Leo likes to make their point, and most often they do so in a way that makes others want to listen.
A downside to the way Leo communicates is that they may dominate the conversation without realizing it. They can also become heated and opinionated, especially if they feel they’re not being heard or given enough attention. In a disagreement, Leo can’t stand it if the other party walks away.
The challenge with Taurus-Leo compatibility when it comes to communication is each could become too hard-headed about their views causing the other to shut down and not want to listen to what the other is saying. Both can benefit immensely by listening and then repeating back what they think they heard the other say. For example, they could say, “It sounds like you said x, y, z. Did I understand that correctly?”
Both Leo and Taurus love to enjoy the finer things in life. They are both connoisseurs of luxury and comfort. Furthermore, they appreciate each other’s taste. Because of this shared value, when Taurus and Leo come together, they have great odds for creating a beautiful shared lifestyle.
Taurus believes in working hard and playing hard, which enables them to be one of the best providers in the zodiac. They know how to make money and spend it well, which Leo appreciates. When Taurus is successful in any endeavor they choose, Leo will be the first to sing their praises.
Where the two signs diverge a bit is that Taurus values security whereas Leo is more of a risk-taker. Taurus can also be a bit of homebody, while Leo likes to be out and about. However, these differences can also balance each other out. Taurus can provide a comfy den, which helps Leo to thrive. And Leo can inspire Taurus to get out and explore what the world beyond home has to offer.
Both Leo and Taurus also value family and they are incredibly protective of those they love.
Taurus (along with Libra) is ruled by Venus, the planet of love. Thus, Taurus values emotional connection, pleasure, and art. Leo, as a born romantic, appreciates this in Taurus. Thus, Leo will find it easy to show Taurus how they appreciate them.
Even if Leo and Taurus come from totally different backgrounds, their shared values can create a solid foundation from which to build a happy, mutually beneficial relationship.
Are Leo and Taurus sexually compatible? Absolutely! These two will quite easily be attracted to each other. Plus, they have what it takes to make it for the long-term as both of these signs are very loyal and not afraid of commitment.
As a fire sign, Leo’s passion and energy will stimulate Taurus. And Taurus’ sensual earthiness will bring out Leo’s purr.
Because both are fixed signs, however, it will be important for them to be playful and creative in the bedroom. The risk here is getting too set in their ways and romantic habits over the long-term. Thus, it will be important for them to reignite the spark that initially drew them to each other. Date nights and weekend getaways can be all it takes to heat up Taurus and Leo’s sexual compatibility.
When it comes to Taurus and Leo compatibility for a long-term romantic relationship and even marriage, there’s a great deal of potential especially because both signs are very devoted people who don’t shy away from commitment. However, it’s important that the two share their vision of how they see their relationship in the future and over the long-term to make sure those two visions are aligned.
For example, Taurus may put more value on the couple’s home life and financial security. While Leo may envision them traveling the world or living in a foreign locale. Needless to say views on whether the two will have children and how they envision family life should be discussed early on!
These two signs have all of the ingredients to be loving and devoted parents, but views on raising children and parenting styles may be wide apart. For instance, Leo may be more indulgent and free-wheeling, while Taurus wants to create more structure and discipline.
Even visions on the type of home the two will create together should be discussed early on. For example, Leo may want a home that is grandiose and dramatic, while Taurus may envision something small and cozy.
These tastes even transmit to wedding planning. Again, Leo may want something large with a lot of people, while Taurus may opt for a simple ceremony with the justice of the peace and a few close friends.
Any differences that these two signs have in term of the visions for their long-term romantic future can create challenges. However, they can also serve to balance each other out in a way that is healthy for both of them. Together, Leo and Taurus appreciate many of the same things. This, combined with their chemistry, can be the magic that keeps them happy and together for the long-term. The key will be to be upfront with each other on their hopes and dreams and in keeping the communication lines open.
An important factor in zodiac compatibility is the degree aspect of two signs in relationship to each other, sometimes referred to as the astrological aspect. Here’s how this works: As the Earth orbits the sun in a circular motion, it causes the sun to appear as though it’s moving in a circle around the Earth. In astrology, this circular pattern, or path, is divided into 12 sectors, which are 30 degrees apart. Each sector houses one of the 12 zodiac signs.
Astrologers examine the angles that different signs have to each other to decipher dynamics in the relationship. For example, in the case of Taurus and Leo, the two signs are 90 degrees apart. This is what astrologers call a square.
Many astrologers say that planets, or signs, which are squared have a challenging aspect to each other. It’s as though one is going in one direction and the other is going in a perpendicular direction and both are doomed to intersect and clash. However, we all know that personal relationships are far more complex than to be summed up so simply. Furthermore, two signs coming together from a surprise direction can still turn into something wonderful.
For example, a right angle (or square) occurs at a crossroads. When you come to a crossroads in some aspect of your life, you are faced with a choice. You can keep going in the same direction that you were, or you can decide to take a left of right turn and try something new.
This is how zodiac relationships that are squared can be beneficial to each other. They may push each other to broaden their horizons, try something new, take on new challenges, and grow. After all, tension can be the fuel that drives change and growth.
Thus, when it comes to Leo and Taurus compatibility in long-term relationships and even marriage, as long as the two work on being sensitive to the other’s needs and goals, as well as their fears and insecurities, they can help each realize their full potential while sticking together for the long-term.
As friends, Taurus and Leo can have a lot of fun together. While their friendship may be the type where they compete a little bit and tease each other, it won’t be one that’s short on laughs and good times. In addition, Leo and Taurus will challenge each other, so their friendship has good odds of helping each person grow as they become lifelong friends.
Taurus helps Leo to live in the real world and isn’t afraid to set their friend straight if they become too self-involved. And Leo inspires Taurus to get out, experience new things, and meet new people.
Leo may need to learn to listen to Taurus more and take their sage advice. And It will be important for Taurus to acknowledge Leo’s generosity and never to take their friend for granted. Furthermore, Leo should let Taurus take the center stage sometimes, serving as their best audience vs. always being the one in the limelight.
With mutual respect and keeping their friend’s best interests at heart, these two friends can help each other grow and reach their full potential.
Taurus and Leo compatibility in the workplace can equate to a sum that’s greater than its parts. Taurus can balance out Leo’s optimism and bright ideas with their down-to-earth practicality.
Both Taurus and Leo are ambitious signs who are willing to work hard, especially if they’ll be rewarded with the lifestyle they want. When these two rally around shared objectives, they can be an unstoppable team.
Because Taurus is stoic and hardworking, it will be important that Leo never takes those positive qualities for granted. In addition, Leo should be mindful to never take credit for Taurus’ hard work. By the same token, it will be important for Taurus to step up and show the team what they can do, even though their natural instinct may be to work diligently behind the scenes.
Leos are natural leaders who relish expansion and getting ahead. They also take enormous pride in their work. However, they need to be mindful about being domineering in the workplace. In addition, they need to careful about taking on too much risk.
Taurus is a natural manager who enjoys nurturing talent and bringing out the best in their team. Where Taurus may need to challenge themselves is in thinking outside the box and not always sticking to tried and true methods.
Taurus’ aversion to risk with Leo’s attraction to it could create tensions in the workplace, especially because both signs are fixed and may become too set on their own ideas. However, if the two work on being flexible, they can balance each other out in such a way that it helps their organization be successful in ways beyond everyone’s imagination.
Taurus and Leo bring different types of energy into family dynamics. This combination can create a fun and lively family life, or it could create some conflict. So, it’s important that each sign be respectful of the other family member’s feelings, likes, and dislikes. For example, Leo loves to get out, socialize, and have fun in group activities. While for Taurus, home life is paramount. Tensions could occur in situations, for example, when Taurus asks Leo to stay home and help with home projects and Leo has other ideas about how they want to spend the weekend.
When this combination are two parents, Leo may be the “fun” parent while Taurus feels they must be the one who creates structure and routine for the kids. However, what is clear is that both of these signs will adore their children. Though Taurus may be the one who is more consistently present with the kids. Whatever the configuration of the family is, the key is that both parents put the children’s well-being first. As with Taurus-Leo co-workers, when these two signs rally around shared objectives, they can make an unstoppable team.
When it comes to Leo and Taurus compatibility as siblings, the two will have a lot of laughs and a good times together, even having some of the same friends. While sibling rivalry could definitely occur, the two siblings will be incredibly protective of each other. While they might be competitive with each other, they will also bring out the best in each other. And family life will never be dull!
Taurus and Leo are two distinct personalities. However, they can have a really good time together with a lot of laughs and relaxation. Both signs are creative, so activities that spark their imaginations can bring enjoyment and balance to the relationship. In fact, when the two signs set their minds on a joint creative project, it can give them a lot of satisfaction and even entertain their loved ones. In addition, they can enjoy sports and other physical activities together, which will bring a smile to both of their faces.
Here’s a list of activities that Taurus and Leo can enjoy together:
In addition, activities that involve the two signs’ elements – earth and fire – are also sure to be hits. For example, going to light shows or light installation exhibits, excursions to sunny, warm places, or, at the end of the day, relaxing by a fire pit and gazing at the stars.
The two signs can also agree to let the other be the activity director during the high season for their sign. For example, Taurus can make the plans for spring activities, while Leo takes lead on summertime fun.

In summary, Leo and Taurus can have a fun and rewarding relationship. Both signs are creative and loving, and they enjoy getting together with and hosting the people they love. They could face challenges when Leo wants to go out more, travel, and socialize while Taurus wants to focus on home projects and just being home. However, the positives that each sign can bring to the other, and their ability to balance each other out can add up to a healthy relationship that withstands the test of time.
