Are you sure you are Taurus and Leo?
Sun-sign dates shift by a day or two from year to year, so the ranges printed on most sites — including the conventional Apr 20 – May 20 in the summary above — are a rounded average, not the real boundary. Taurus season has begun on 2 different calendar days since 1930, and the Sun last actually entered Taurus on the conventional date in 2023. If either birthday falls near a boundary, check the exact year below — and if it is the boundary day itself, the free birth chart settles it to the minute.

Both are Fixed signs, so they approach change at the same speed and can deadlock instead of one leading. On the elements: Earth + Fire — contrasting elements with different core needs; harmony comes through effort. Taurus is ruled by Venus and Leo by the Sun, which is where their instincts about safety and risk diverge. Their lowest score is 55%, so that is the area to work on deliberately.
Their friendship score (60%) is at or above their love score (55%), which usually means the bond outlasts the initial spark — these two tend to do better as it settles. Opposite polarity (one Yang, one Yin) — the classic active/receptive attraction. Sun signs describe roughly a twelfth of a chart, though — Moon, Venus and Mars placements decide far more of how a real relationship runs.
