- Taurus and Leo are fundamentally different signs: Taurus is practical and slow-paced, while Leo is outgoing and craves excitement. This difference in personalities can lead to conflict.
- Common areas of disagreement include pace of life, need for attention, financial priorities, and expression of love. Taurus wants stability and security, while Leo enjoys extravagance and grand gestures.
- I suggest compromise as a solution. Both signs need to be willing to meet each other halfway. Taurus can add some spontaneity, and Leo can slow down sometimes.
- Communication is key. Understanding each other’s love languages and financial goals is crucial to a successful relationship. Leos and Taurus also need to avoid personal attacks during arguments.
Taurus – Leo Compatibility is interesting.
It never fails in over two decades of talking to couples and individuals, when I come across a Taurus/Leo pair fireworks will ensure.
While both strong and passionate signs, often struggle to get along due to their fundamentally different natures and approaches to life.
- Taurus is an earth sign, known for being grounded, practical, and valuing stability and security. They know what they want, when they want it, and how they want it. They are sensual and enjoy the finer things in life, often preferring a slower pace and familiar routines. Taurus will take the same route to work everyday for 30 years, without fail.
- Leo is a fire sign, known for their charismatic, outgoing, and attention-loving personalities. Leos are your stereotypical extroverts. They thrive on excitement, spontaneity, and being in the spotlight. Leos will take the scenic route to work, drop the top and crank up the sound on the car stereo.
5 Reasons Taurus & Leo Struggle to Get Along
- Different paces: Taurus find Leo’s constant need for excitement and change overwhelming. This will lead to the inevitable break or time out to re-charge their mental batteries. On the other hand, Leo sees Taurus as too slow, stubborn, and resistant to new experiences. Leo wants to go out with mutual friends on a Friday night, while Taurus wants to Netflix and chill.
- Need for attention: Leo’s love of being the center of attention can clash with Taurus’s more reserved nature and desire for a peaceful environment. Taurus do not want to need to be the life of the party. On the contrary, you can find Taurus at the bar watching Leo on the dance floor. This will work for a little while, but it will inevitably lead to conflict in the long run.
- Conflicting values: Taurus values practicality and security, while Leo tends to be more extravagant and impulsive, leading to disagreements about finances and priorities. This is big one in my counseling sessions and if this list of 5 was in order, this would be at the top of the list. Taurus tends to be more financially conservative. Leos on the other hand tend to have a “YOLO” mindset when it comes to saving money.
- Stubbornness: Both signs are known for their strong wills and unwillingness to compromise, making it difficult to resolve conflicts and find common ground. This leads to the eventual break up or visit to see me. Taurus and Leos are two of the more stubborn signs. And when they dig their heels in, especially Taurus, it takes a jackhammer to get them loose. This may be ok in business (at times) but never a good sign in relationships.
- Expression of affection: Taurus shows love through acts of service and physical touch. My oldest daughter is a Taurus and I can tell you, when a Taurus is in love with you there will be no double about it. They are fiercely loyal to a fault and expect the same in a partner. Leos, on the other hand, express love through grand gestures and verbal affirmations. My wife is a Leo and we’ve been married over 25 years. And she still says, “I love you” after every phone call. Even when I’m just up the street at the grocery store. But in a Taurus/Leo relationship these different love languages can lead to misunderstandings and both parties feeling like their needs in the relationship are not being met.
Taurus and Leo Compatibility Solutions
Meet Each other in the Middle
As you guys know I focus on Positive Psychology, so lets get to how to make these seeming incompatible signs…compatible for you personally.
If you are in a Taurus/Leo relationship find a common speed and stick to it. What do I mean by that?
If you are Taurus, speed up your life a little bit so you can stay in the life of your Leo partner.
If you are a Leo, you need to slow yourself down a bit. You are going too fast and that’s not the natural speed of a Taurus.
Take some time to talk about what you want to do. Taurus is a planner and Leo needs this type of energy in their hectic lifestyle.
So come up with a compromise you both can handle.
For example, instead of going out every weekend, Leo, slow it down to 2 or 3 weekends in a month.
And instead of staying home every weekend, Taurus, agree to accompany your Leo partner a couple weekends out of the month.
Compromise, written down and put on a schedule will benefit both of you.
Taurus needs to give Leo the attention they crave
Next Taurus, you have to understand that Leo needs his/her attention from more than just you. Leos are not caged birds.
They need to fly free to be truly happy. But again, there’s always a happy median.
And that middle ground is that Taurus needs to make sure that Leo knows that home is the safe space.
Keep it full of positive energy so that Leo knows when they leave for a bit, they always have a welcoming place to return to.
That will stifle any wandering eyes you fear. Also, understand each other’s love language.
It’s ok to speak your partner’s love language, even if that language is different from your own.
That means, Taurus, tell Leo how you feel so they don’t feel the need to look for it elsewhere.
Money Matters
Now for finances. Make sure you are on the same page when it comes to finances. That is true of every couple, not just Taurus and Leo.
But especially for Taurus and Leo, you need to make a budget and calendar so you remain on the same page.
Taurus loves predictability and Leo can use that grounded nature to their own advantage.
In order to grow together, well into the future, you need to be equally yoked in your finances.
So in this, it’s Leo that needs to come back down to earth a bit and allow Taurus to take the lead.
Stop Hitting Below the Belt
When you argue, don’t make it personal. The biggest problem I see with Taurus – Leo relationships is that they love to hit below the belt.
The issue is those are the hardest to recover from.
If you throw someone’s failure or family troubles in their face, they may forgive but they won’t forget.
And unfortunately Taurus and Leo are the kings and queens of forgiving and not forgetting. So don’t go there in the first place.
Talk out your problems in a mature fashion. Communicate and actively listen to each other.
This will keep the argument from getting over heated and difficult to recover from.
