Taurus and Leo can be a tough match to master – but once you’ve got it cracked, you’ll have an excellent partnership.
Leos like to be dominant and lead, and also like to be the centre of attention. Leos enjoy providing vision and motivation, but may lack staying power and attention to detail.
Those born under the sign of Taurus, on the other hand, are very focused on practicality and detail. They are far more placid and calm than Leos, and like to be steady and deliberate.
Potential problems in this relationship centre around the Leo flashiness and arrogance set against the deliberation and the stubbornness of their Taurus partner. Leos can enjoy showing off and may be tempted to bully their beloved into going along with their plans, particularly if Taurus is taking a while to settle on a particular course. Taurus will have very little truck for this, and although they may be dazzled by Leo at first, will have a fairly small tolerance level for a Leo they think is trying to boss them around. There may be a bit of a power struggle in this relationship from the off.
To get around things, Leo will need to remember that their natural inclination towards drama and being the lead will have to be toned down. Taurus like to talk things through rationally and slowly to find the best solution to a problem, and this is generally the best way to go.
However, Taurus will also need to consider whether or not decisions really need to be made in this way – sometimes, Taurus will have to drop their natural resistance to a sudden change of plan or new project, and just live for the moment. Leos often do have very good ideas and visions, after all, and will reasonably become frustrated if everything they suggest needs to be pontificated about at great length.
Money could be a problem. Leos enjoy conspicuous consumption more than Taurus, who may be more interested in saving for a rainy day. The best bet is for Taurus to sometimes go along with that dinner out at the new restaurant with the great reviews. But if money becomes an issue and Taurus becomes uncomfortable with Leo’s unfettered spending, then Taurus will need to sit down and agree a budget, one that perhaps includes some money set aside for ‘impulse’ buys.
If this partnership works, it can work very well indeed. By working together and utilising both the Leo vision and the practicality of the Taurus, this couple will achieve a great deal together. However, both will need to communicate and reign in some of their more negative personality traits in order to found a lasting relationship.
