Love Matches - - Taurus and Leo

A Battle of Wills

By Molly Hall, About.com

Fixed Earth and Fixed Fire

Even though there's a hard square here, creating a giant red flag, the many Leo-Taurus couples prove that some prefer the path of most resistance. When first dating, Leo enjoys being the prize possession of the Bull, who shows love with trinkets and advice. Both are uninhibited pleasure-seekers, making sex the glue, and the catharsis for relationship frustrations. High-spirited Leo helps Taurus cast off its cloak of reserve, and indulge in the moment. Taurus prods Leo to put their wildest dreams into tangible reality.

Further into the relationship, they'll discover that what doesn't kill their bond, makes it stronger. Here you have two notoriously stubborn types, and there are showdowns throughout this relationship. Tensions flare with Leo gets haughty and Taurus pretends not to care. When Leo feels consistently dissed, like their needs don't matter, it can become a fundamental problem. Taurus finds Leo demanding, and taxing on their mellow nature. Here's a couple that may argue all the time, but still end up side-by-side in rockers on the porch. It doesn't always work, but friction can be a refining force in relationships, too. It's love with an edge, and that keeps them wedged in for life.

Famous Couples: Bianca Jagger (Taurus) and Mick Jagger (Leo); Laurence Fishburne (Leo) and Gina Torres (Taurus)
