Taurus is devoted and extremely focused about their life interests. They are committed to their goals, the intensity of which is worthy of awe and praise. They give it their all or nothing at all. There is a certainty about their mode of operation which makes them likeable to the Leo native who abhors indecisive characters.

As the Taurus Zodiac sign represents the earth element and the Leo the element of fire, they are quite compatible in that sense and the earth provides a base for the fire to burn bright. A patient Taurus is much better placed to keep a Leo’s need for attention in check.
The practical nature of the Taurus man or woman ensures the ambitious Leo is able to walk the talk, i.e. turn their promises and dreams into concrete reality. A Leo male or female appreciates the sense of commitment and sincerity that Taureans showcase which makes their friendship solid if not eternal.
Taurus and Leo differences
The pride of a Lion is a personality trait the Taurus native dislikes. What irritates a Taurus person is a Leo native’s desperate need to beat their own drums. To the former, a Leo seeks attention like no other. They look for the company of those who could pamper and praise them for every little thing that they do.
Leos cannot appreciate those who fail to express their gratitude or make them feel at the top of the world. This constant longing for admirers can put them in a fierce battle of ego with the Taurus natives. Taurus is quite self-focused, relatively demanding lesser accolades or fame as compared to a Leo or perhaps not at all. Leo's self-esteem is so high that when it forgets the value of humility, he is sure to trigger a Taurus native. Leo men or women could turn vindictive when they fail or their hopes crushed by those they trust.
Taurus men and women are smart but they like to maintain a low key nature. They would gracefully handle a situation as long as they do not feel threatened or their knowledge is challenged. Where the Taurus may lack is their inability to reciprocate equally to the grandiose gestures of the Leo friend. While Taurus will take time to come to a conclusion only after he has weighed the pros and cons; the fiery, quick-tempered Leo may never give someone a second chance once betrayed.
Taurus may seem distant and reserved. That's because they like to test the waters before they dive in. However, Leo is friendlier and loves the company of people as long as they don't threaten his might or prized possessions.
The best way to mitigate conflict is to keep a communication channel open. There is definitely some compromise to be made in this friendship as well just like those between any other zodiac signs. If they leave their differences aside and look at a situation impartially and accept their mistakes, they could build a mighty empire together.
