Leo Man & Taurus Woman Compatibility: Perfect Match?

Men born under the Leo sign are natural leaders. They are passionate, decisive and determined. Leo women have similar personalities, yet are slower moving and cautious.

This couple can easily frustrate each other before they long before they learn how to work together as a couple. Both are possessive, jealous and headstrong.

They are too similar in some ways and don’t have enough common ground in other ways. A Leo man will become frustrated by a Taurus woman’s inflexibility. She will find him overbearing.

Friendship

A Taurus and Leo friendship can work if these two are work friends or distant acquaintances. If they try to be best friends or close personal friends, their shared stubbornness and sensitivity to criticism and insecurities can undermine the relationship quickly.

Taurus compatibility is best with men who are compassionate and nurturing or understanding and sensitive. While a Leo man may seem to be understanding, the reality is he tends to focus on the world as he sees it. He doesn’t easily empathize with others if he hasn’t had a specific experience himself.

This tendency to refer to his own experiences rather than listening intently to the experiences and feelings of others will feel insulting and dismissive to a Taurus woman. She won’t be silent about her hurt feelings for long, though she may go quiet at first.

When her anger bubbles to the surface, it may take a Leo man by surprise. He will become defensive and numerous arguments will ensue. When a Leo and Taurus fight, both go into complete self-defense mode. Neither is likely to think about the feelings or needs of the other.

If a Leo man and Taurus woman are friends at work, they can interest and intrigue each other. As long as they both are clearly on the same team, this pair can help inspire each other. If they see the other as competition in any way, this will be a rocky friendship as they will never trust each other.

At best, a Leo man and Taurus woman can tolerate each other. They can learn that they are too different to really form a solid friendship. They may be highly attracted to each other, but their styles of communication and personalities continue to clash.

Those born under the Leo zodiac sign can be determined and attracted to drama. Taurus is determined as well, but prefers to operate behind the scenes and out of the limelight. Taurus finds Leo’s level of constant drama and attention seeking to be exhausting.

A Leo man and Taurus woman who are committed to making a friendship work will need to set aside their egos to some extent. If they both insist on seeing everything as personal, this will harm the relationship in the long run. Yet if they can both focus on their shared interests, the friendship can work.

Is your Leo man not communicating with you? Here's the trick to reel your Leo back in.

Relationship

A Taurus woman and Leo man compatibility is very challenging. If this couple truly feels they were meant to be together, they may use their stubbornness and determination to try to make the relationship work. They can be persistent in trying to hold on to the relationship no matter how rocky it becomes.

A Taurus woman can be patient and may not want to let go if she feels she was meant to be with her Leo love interest. A Leo man can take pride in his ability to find the best in his Taurus love interest, even if their differences complicate things.

Their love life may be a steadily evolving on and off relationship. They may break up and make up several times over. When the relationship is stormy, a Leo man will air his grievances loudly and publicly. A Taurus woman finds this mortifying and although she doesn’t like to bring her private life into the public sphere, once a Leo man breaks a boundary, she will fight back.

This couple may resort to insults, betrayal and deception in order to get even with each other. Yet if they are trying to work on their relationship, they may have a great time together when tempers are calm. Both may genuinely want to improve the relationship.

A Leo man is passionate and can be easily triggered to anger because he takes everything personally. A Taurus woman has a thicker skin however she will not tolerate being insulted or invalidated and will stoop to his level to retaliate.

A Leo man and Taurus woman’s communication style differs. Both are honest and direct, however a Leo man speaks passionately and flamboyantly. A Taurus woman’s communication style is more objective and to the point. She may see him as overbearing and he may see her as detached and uncaring.

Marriage

A Taurus and Leo argument while dating is nothing compared to the drama this couple can stir up when married. A Leo man and Taurus woman in marriage will clash over how money is spent, they may disagree over household rules and boundaries.

A Leo man has a zest for life and often throws caution to the wind as he wants to enjoy the finest things in life. He doesn’t care about budgeting or debt. Yet these things are very important to the security of a Taurus woman.

A Taurus woman will feel unsettled if her Leo partner is going to town with the credit cards or booking expensive vacations. Ironically, she enjoys material luxuries as much as a Leo man. She may enjoy classy dates and expensive gifts, but if their shared savings aren’t well stocked, she will become anxious.

Yet at some point, she becomes conscious of the tab that is being run through the roof. When she brings this to the attention of a Leo man, he will become defensive. They may continually blame each other if finances are rocky, as their priorities when it comes to handling money is different.

If this couple can agree to leave each to manage different aspects of the household, family and marriage, this marriage can work. This couple can be successful if they don’t overstep each other’s boundaries and if they respect each other’s unique strengths and leadership skills.

Once this couple is married, no matter how challenging the marriage is they will usually not want to seek separation or divorce. They are both stubborn and willful and may insist that they can work things out if they just keep trying. Eventually, they may learn each other’s styles and motivations well enough to be successful.

It takes great compromise for this couple to have a successful marriage. Compromise is not something that comes easily to either a Leo man or Taurus woman. Yet if they have the right motivation and willingness to learn from each other, they can make the relationship work.

This magic will make your Leo man want a relationship with you.

In Bed

A Taurus and Leo in bed can excite each other as both are sensual. They are highly attracted to each other and for all the difficulties in their romantic relationship, this couple can heighten the passions in the bedroom.

Great sex alone may not be enough to hold this relationship together. However, a Leo man and Taurus woman who are friends with benefits can enjoy a satisfying sexual relationship. Each can be sensual, attentive and romantic but if they don’t have true romantic feelings, both need to make the boundaries clear.

If a Taurus woman starts to fall in love with a Leo man, or vice versa, but their love is not shared, heartbreak and disappointment can ensue. A Taurus woman may wait patiently for a Leo man to have a change of heart but a Leo man can enjoy the sexual relationship without wanting more.

Yet if both a Taurus woman and Leo man are on the same page regarding their expectations, they can have an exciting and fulfilling sexual bond. A Taurus woman is earthy and sensual and takes her time in intimate encounters.

A Leo man may be more energetic and robust, but he will be just as attentive because like a Taurus woman, a Leo man loves to pamper his partner in bed. Both love luxurious experiences in bed and can enjoy pampering with wine, gourmet foods and satin sheets.

A Leo man is more adventurous in bed than a Taurus woman. Yet a Taurus woman is likely to ground a Leo man. He may be enthusiastic about her style but if their intimate encounters become too predictable or routine, he may start to lose interest.

Both a Taurus woman and Leo man can be possessive and jealous. Even if they are in a strictly sexual relationship, both will have to channel this energy productively so that they don’t end up squabbling and undermining the sexual chemistry and cohesion in the relationship.
