It may appear to be something of an energy minefield, but there is real potential here—provided the famously disagreeable combination of firstwest and secondwest fulfills its potential for life-changing personal growth, and the precarious firsteast and secondeast match is carefully controlled.

Compatibility overview
It is likely there will never be a dull moment when firstwest and secondwest combine together.

Yet there is also the prospect of great personal growth, which can define the relationship and the individual identities of both signs.

Signs separated by three steps around the Western zodiac wheel form a Square, or hard 90° degree, interval. The energy here is perpendicular and powerful. Hence these two tend to disagree often and hard!
Even minor questions can provoke passionate debate. Leo's element, Fire, is the most dynamic, spirited, and at times tumultuous of all the elements. Taurus' Earth, on the other hand, is defined by its slow-moving, rock-solid dependability. Leo will thus often feel quite claustrophobic, as if Taurus is not letting them burst forth as they were born to do. Taurus, meanwhile, can feel rushed or overborne by Leo's fervent extremes of enthusiasm, generosity, or criticism. The result can be a vicious circle which exacerbates both signs' more challenging traits. Taurus may retreat into stubborn recalcitrance, while Leo loses themselves in arrogance or fury. Because these two signs share the same Fixed modality, focused on tangible results and getting things done, it goes against both of their natures to back down. Compromise could take eons to reach.
On the plus side, the tensions here are by no means always serious. In fact, the energy between Leo and Taurus can give rise to all kinds of playful competition, flirtatiousness, or hilarity. More importantly, certainly in the longer term, this relationship may have profound benefits for both signs' individual identities. Square energy is unparalleled in its ability to reveal what is essential to one's true nature. By exposing what is most important—what can be compromised, and what cannot—the combination of Leo and Taurus yields rewards that may last a lifetime. Some distance or compartmentalization in the relationship may be useful at times, to reduce the toll this powerful energy can take day to day.
If these two are able to harness their contrasting instincts one way or another, then they may achieve incredible outcomes, both separately and together.

Matt Damon (10/8/1970, Libra Dog), Luciana Barroso (7/31/1976, Leo Dragon) : The actor and bartender married in 2005. They have four children together (one from Barroso's previous relationship). In 2018, Barroso described how they met: "Matt’s story is that he saw me across the room and there was a light on me. And I’m like, 'Yeah, it was a nightclub—there were lights everywhere! But he had started getting recognized...so he came and hid behind my bar… [wanting to] just hang out back there and have a drink...So I put him to work with me! I said, 'You know, if you’re going to be back here, you can’t just be standing there!'"
Bridget Moynahan (4/28/1971, Taurus Pig), Tom Brady (8/3/1977, Leo Snake) : The actor/model and NFL legend were together for three years from 2004 to 2006. In February 2007, Moynahan announced that she was three months' pregnant and Brady was the father. Moynahan has spoken about the challenges of that period, saying, "Going through that traumatic time of being heartbroken and then being pregnant turned my whole life upside down and inside out and just knocked the wind out of me." Later, she described: "Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own...My son is surrounded by love and grandparents that go on forever, and it's all good."
Travis Scott (4/30/1991, Taurus Sheep), Kylie Jenner (8/10/1997, Leo Ox) : The rapper and media personality are one of the most high-profile on-again, off-again couples in the world, most recently announcing a separation in January 2023. They share two children and have both expressed confidence in their ability to co-parent through their relationship ups and downs. In 2020 (after the birth of their first child, Stormi), Jenner described: "We’re, like, best friends. We both love [our daughter] Stormi and want what’s best for her. We stay connected and coordinated. I think about [my parents, Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner], in situations with Stormi, what they would do. They were very hands-on with me, and I want the same for Stormi."
Gina Torres (4/25/1969, Taurus Rooster), Laurence Fishburne (7/30/1961, Leo Ox) : The two actors were married from 2002 to 2018 and had a daughter together. Torres described: "There are no bad guys here. Only a love story with a different ending than either one of us had expected. Happily, however, our family remains intact and we will continue to raise our daughter together with love and joy and awe, as well as raise each other up with respect and love and the continued understanding that we're in this together, if not side by side."
Isiah Thomas (4/30/1961, Taurus Ox), Magic Johnson (8/14/1959, Leo Pig) : The relationship between the two basketball legends was reportedly strained even before an on-court fight during the 1988 NBA Finals. In Johnson's 2009 book, When the Game was Ours, he admitted working behind the scenes to keep Thomas out of the 1992 United States Olympics "Dream Team", because he believed Thomas had been spreading rumours about his sexuality after his HIV diagnosis. The two reconciled in 2017, with Johnson saying, "You are my brother. Let me apologize if I hurt you, that we haven’t been together and God is good to bring us back together."

Rabbit and Dragon
Compatibility overview
The Chinese zodiac—with its emphasis on year-long rather than month-long time intervals—is known for not pulling punches. This is especially true for the so-called Adversary matches, which include the firsteast and secondeast. There is some deeply troublesome energy here, and clashes or brooding disquiet may be difficult to avoid.

This is a case of conflicting styles, if ever there was one. Where the Rabbit is celebrated for their usually impeccable manners and peaceful disposition, the Dragon inspires through audacious intensity. Mixing the two together has the potential to bring out the worst in both.
In this combination, the Rabbit may become evasive, stressed, or fawning. The Dragon can be nasty, cruel, or obnoxious. The uniquely problematic nature of Adversary matches like this one arises in part because the energy is more ambiguous than direct. Rather than building to a head-on confrontation, the tension here is more likely to fester. These two tend to alternate uncomfortably between secretiveness and bluntness, doting and betrayal, reticence and attention-seeking. The quicksand quality to interactions between these two is a particular danger, meaning that even attempts at conciliation often wind up simply making matters worse.
In short, this energy combination can be a challenge for the parties themselves and those around them. Successful examples of this match will need strong counterbalancing energy on the Western side, or an admirable commitment to self-knowledge and conflict resolution.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky (6/26/1963, Cancer Rabbit), Vladimir Putin (10/7/1952, Libra Dragon) : The exiled businessman, once reputedly the richest individual in Russia, has had one of the most famous political feuds in history with the Russian President. Commentator Masha Gessen wrote in 2012, "At the root of the conflict between Putin and Khodorkovsky lies a basic difference in character. Putin rarely says what he means and even less frequently trusts that others are saying what they mean. Khodorkovsky, in contrast, seems to have always taken himself and others at face value."
50 Cent (7/6/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Ja Rule (2/29/1976, Pisces Dragon) : A feud between the two rappers has been described as one of the longest-running in Hip-Hop history. In 2018, 50 Cent claimed to have bought the first 200 tickets at a Ja Rule concert, so there would be empty seats in the front row.
Beverly D'Angelo (11/15/1951, Scorpio Rabbit), Al Pacino (4/25/1940, Taurus Dragon) : The two actors were in a relationship from the late 1990s until 2003, and D'Angelo gave birth to twins in 2001. D'Angelo described: "I got pregnant at 48, delivered six weeks after I was 49, and by 51, I was looking at a landscape as a single parent." An acrimonious custody dispute followed. More recently, however, D'Angelo has said positively: "You have to accept differences and all the things that led to a break-up in a way that allows you to move forward. And out of my support system and people I know and love, I’ve created [in Pacino] the ideal (parenting) partner."
Quentin Tarantino (3/27/1963, Aries Rabbit), Harvey Weinstein (3/19/1952, Pisces Dragon) : The director and producer were longtime collaborators before Weinstein's imprisonment as a sex offender. In the wake of the allegations against Weinstein, Tarantino said: "There was more to it than just the normal rumors, the normal gossip. It wasn’t secondhand. I knew he did a couple of these things. I wish I had taken responsibility for what I heard. If I had done the work I should have done then, I would have had to not work with him."
Sarah Palin (2/11/1964, Aquarius Rabbit), Todd Palin (9/6/1964, Virgo Dragon) : The US politician (including 2008 Republican nominee for Vice President) and oil field production operator were married for 30 years until 2020 and had five children together. Despite years of tabloid speculation, the marriage appeared strong until Todd Palin reportedly filed for divorce on his 55th birthday in 2019, citing "incompatibility of temperament". Sarah Palin learnt of the divorce filing in an email she received a week after their 31st wedding anniversary. She later described: "It's not easy to talk about. It was devastating. I thought I got shot."
Johnny Depp (6/9/1963, Gemini Rabbit), Sherilyn Fenn (2/1/1965, Aquarius Dragon) : The two actors dated for two and a half years before either found fame. Fenn has indicated on Instagram that she thinks fondly of her relationship with Depp, but the two do not keep in contact: "Simply the very first love of my life...After so many years it would be fun to talk. Yet, memories are enough as well."
George Orwell (6/25/1903, Cancer Rabbit), Graham Greene (10/2/1904, Libra Dragon) : The two authors were contemporaries writing in postwar Britain. Orwell's review of Greene's novel The Heart of the Matter has become an archetype of scathing criticism. Orwell writes, "I have not parodied the plot of the book. Even when dressed up in realistic details, it is just as ridiculous as I have indicated..."

Final Words
The Square energy between firstwest and secondwest is perhaps as contrary as any in the Western zodiac. However, while it may sometimes feel as if there is nothing these two cannot disagree about, their disputations can yield great positives, offering rare insight into their individual identities, and producing lifelong benefits. In this case, the greater challenge may be navigating the disturbing energy of the firsteast and secondeast, one of the Chinese zodiac’s most notorious combinations. Clear communication, independent roles in the relationship, and encouraging sensitivity wherever possible may be important for these two, if they are to maximize the available prospects for successful collaboration and affection.
