Sun-sign compatibility · Earth + Fire
♉︎ Taurus + ♌︎ Leo compatibility
Earth meets Fire: slow forge. वृषभ + सिंह
What works
Fire wants to move; earth wants to finish. Frustrating at first, formidable once each learns the other's tempo.
Taurus brings steadiness, senses, persistence; Leo brings expression, warmth, visibility. At their best, the pair turns those different instincts into a division of labor rather than a contest over whose style is correct.
Where friction appears
The signs sit ninety degrees apart, a whole-sign square associated with productive friction. This pairing works when both stop trying to win. Both are fixed signs, so both want to hold ground: expect standoffs that outlast the original argument.
As a fixed sign, Taurus protects continuity and resists being rushed; as a fixed sign, Leo protects continuity and resists being rushed. The repair is concrete: give Taurus reliability, useful effort and evidence over promises, while giving Leo directness, momentum and room to act.

Communication and durability
Taurus's ruler, Venus, emphasizes relating and value; Leo's ruler, Sun, emphasizes identity and vitality. The pairing lasts when neither person treats a different pacing or emotional language as a lack of commitment.
