♉︎♌︎ Taurus and Leo compatibility

How well do Taurus and Leo go together? By tradition: full of tension.

Here two people meet who are equally determined but tick differently. Tradition calls this a connection with a lot of energy and quite a few quarrels. If you can bear the tension, you grow through it.

What helps: Clear agreements, and arguments about the matter, never about the person.

What connects them

Both are faithful, and both enjoy the lovely things in life.

Where it rubs

Leo wants to be admired, Taurus prefers to show its love quietly, and neither likes to give way.

Element and way

Fire meets earth: one wants to get going, the other wants to know where to. Fire brings enthusiasm, earth brings permanence. It goes well when fire does not take earth's patience for sluggishness and earth does not take fire's drive for recklessness.

Taurus is a fixed sign, Leo a fixed one. Both belong to the fixed signs: they hold on to what they have. That makes the connection faithful and steady. It gets difficult when both stand their ground, because neither likes to give way.

The two in love

In love, Taurus is faithful and sensual. It needs reliability, time and small pleasures.

In love, Leo is generous and warm-hearted. It needs admiration and someone who shares its joy.

The planets of the two

The planet of Taurus is Venus. Venus stands for love, beauty and balance. It brings tenderness to a relationship and a feel for getting on well together.

The planet of Leo is the Sun. The Sun stands for warmth and self-expression. It brings warm-heartedness to a relationship and the wish to be seen.

Venus is currently in Scorpio, until 24 October. For Taurus, it touches the area of partner and the people opposite. For Leo, it touches the area of home and family. Venus has been retrograde since 3 October and stays so until 14 November. During this time, tradition advises clearing up old matters between two people rather than sealing new ones. On 14 May 2027, Venus enters Taurus. Mars is currently in Leo, until 25 November. As long as Mars is in one of the two signs, tradition says that sign has more drive, and passion and quarrels are closer at hand.

Read by decans

Tradition divides every sign into three decans of about ten days. Each decan has a sub-sign of the same element, and the couple then reads like the two sub-signs. If you know the birthdays, here is the finer reading. Under each decan are its approximate days and its sub-sign. The dates are for 2026 and shift by about a day from year to year.
