The famously combative firstwest and secondwest combination is capable of yielding profound benefits, even if the often caring and respectful match between the firsteast and secondeast is at times hesitant to provide complete support.

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."

Compatibility overview
Bringing together the two most regal signs in the Eastern zodiac, the combination of firsteast and secondeast is not classically thought of as a completely perfect match. If they can balance their respective drives for success, however, they may find they share a surprisingly strong foundation for respect, teamwork, and chemistry.

These two majestic signs are associated with some of the most desirable traits in the Eastern zodiac, so it is often assumed they will form a natural partnership. Certainly there is a good chance of intense excitement and admiration. They share a fierce independence, as well as stunningly impressive physical and mental prowess. Both are likely to perceive the other as a worthy partner, opponent, or both! The Tiger will be amazed by their friend's capacity to take the lead, perform, and dominate where necessary. The Dragon, meanwhile, will respect how the Tiger inspires others with noble and original achievement. Rousing synergies are probable, whether in the professional, familial, or sexual sphere.
After a time, these two will need to turn their attention to the elephant in the room—neither expects to play second fiddle. The respective Trine families (which for the Dragon includes the Monkey and Rat, and for the Tiger, the Dog and Horse) share some unsettling cross-currents. Indeed, some of the matches in this group have an especially prickly reputation, such as the Dragon and Dog, or the Tiger and Monkey. The Dragon and Tiger may avoid the most confrontational aspects of this energy, but there is still tension to be dealt with. For example, the Tiger may find the Dragon relentlessly performative, where the Tiger prefers a balance of exertion and relaxation. The Tiger's instinct for independence is moderated by a desire for commitment that may seem foreign, even cloying, to the spirited Dragon. Morally, the Dragon tends to prioritize achievement and impact above all else, whereas for the Tiger, any compromise to their ethical beliefs (which may be highly individual) is anathema.
Above all, these signs will both tend to take a my-way-or-the-highway approach, expecting to lead the partnership in whatever direction they decide. Resolving this potential for competitive conflict will be imperative to sustaining the relationship. If that can be managed, however, then there is such an abundance of winning talents and force of personality here that an incredibly effective alliance may result, rich in material prospects, and united by a strong emotional bond.

Emilio Estevez (5/12/1962, Taurus Tiger), Martin Sheen (8/3/1940, Leo Dragon) : The actor and actor/filmmaker are father and son. They have worked together multiple times, including on the films Badlands (1973), The Custody of Strangers (1992, TV), The War at Home (1996), Bobby (2006), and The Way (2010). Sheen has described about their connection: "You know, I don’t know myself without him. Our relationship — it’s sacramental… I was 21 when he was born, and so something very, very, kind of, mysterious happened with his birth… I’m looking at him, and it was like, ‘Oh, you’re the guy. I knew this was going to happen. I kinda knew you’d get here. And I see you’re the one. Okay, good. Welcome… Our relationship will develop.’ And it did. It wasn’t always pleasant. It wasn’t always easy. But we were teachers for each other."
John Schlesinger (2/16/1926, Aquarius Tiger), Julie Christie (4/14/1940, Aries Dragon) : The actor and director worked together extensively, including on the films, Billy Liar (1963), Darling (1965), and Far From the Madding Crowd (1967). After Schlesinger died in 2003, Christie wrote: "I remember an extremely provocative, mischievous character...When I auditioned for a part in Billy Liar in 1962, he did not think much of me as an actress - and took great relish in telling me so. I was not his first choice for the part and I was cast only after filming had started, but I am very grateful he took a chance on me...John thought I was a cultural snob, another thing that he always delighted in pointing out to me, particularly when I expressed horror at some of the films he liked and which I thought were dreadful...I will miss having a friend around with such a gift for shocking people out of their complacency."
Ron Perlman (4/13/1950, Aries Tiger), Guillermo del Toro (10/9/1964, Libra Dragon) : The actor and director have collaborated on multiple films, including Cronos (1993), Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), Hellboy II (2008), Pacific Rim (2013), and Nightmare Alley (2021). Perlman has described: "I had lost my whole sense of direction, and then I get this letter from Guillermo...identifying my work in all of these movies I didn’t think anybody saw. It’s the most beautiful, complimentary letter and, on top of that, he says, ‘I’m a young Mexican filmmaker and I’m sending you this letter with a script, this movie I hope to make as my first film, called Cronos.’ I read the letter and thought, ‘Oh my God, this is like getting a lifetime achievement award.’ Then I read the script and it’s the most beautiful, elegant vampire movie. But it’s not a vampire movie, it’s like if Charles Dickens wrote a vampire film – gothic and layered and very intellectual. We met and that was the beginning, as they say in Casablanca, of a beautiful friendship...Pretty much anything Guillermo offers me, I don’t need to read the script."
Simon Konecki (4/17/1974, Aries Tiger), Adele (5/5/1988, Taurus Dragon) : The superstar singer/songwriter and charity entrepreneur began a relationship in 2011. Their son was born in 2012, and they were married from 2018 until 2021. After their separation, Konecki bought a house across the road from Adele, and the couple share custody. Adele has said about Konecki, "I definitely chose the perfect person to have my child with."
Jaden Smith (7/8/1998, Cancer Tiger), Willow Smith (10/31/2000, Scorpio Dragon) : The two musician/actors are brother and sister. They have spoken several times about the closeness of their relationship, with Willow saying in 2016 that, "We're like binary stars, like two parts of one thing." In 2019, when Jaden was asked about dropping the "Smith" from his name for music streaming, he explained: "You want to know why? Because Willow's name is 'just Willow.' And everything is a character...Jaden and Willow are like a band. Me and Willow are like OutKast except we only ever release individual albums. You remember how OutKast did that one album [Speakerboxxx/The Love Below] where it was like two albums? Yeah. So that's me and Willow. It's like we're not really a band, but we kind of are. It's Jaden and Willow, we have to have the uniform names."
Ryan Phillippe (9/10/1974, Virgo Tiger), Reese Witherspoon (3/22/1976, Aries Dragon) : The two actors were married between 1999 and 2008 and have two children together. While the pair presented together at the 2002 Academy Awards, in an ad-libbed line that Witherspoon later said left her "a little bit flummoxed", Phillippe famously quipped that Witherspoon should present the award because, "You make more than I do. Go ahead." Since their divorce, they have made multiple public appearances with their children and spoken of their respect for each other. Phillippe said in 2014, "[O]ur kids are incredible. I'm proud of the way we've handled it and who our little people are."
Drake (10/24/1986, Scorpio Tiger), Rihanna (2/20/1988, Pisces Dragon) : The two superstar musicians were long rumored to have a romantic involvement, including at one time being seen with matching tattoos. In 2018, Drake described while on LeBron James' talkshow: "As life takes shape and teaches you your own lessons, I end up in this situation where I don't have the fairy tale, like, 'Oh, Drake started a family with Rihanna and this is like so perfect.' It looks so good on paper. By the way, I wanted that too at one time."

Final Words
firstwest and secondwest share a Square aspect that represents some of the most challenging energy in the Western zodiac—yet even as they struggle to reach agreement together, they can reap far-reaching benefits in terms of individual priorities, growth and direction. Complicating matters here is the combination of the firsteast and secondeast, who may admire and care deeply for one another, but who can also feel instinctively somewhat nervous or distant when together for extended periods. Ultimately, the best aspects of this relationship have terrific potential, and with requisite independence and clear communication, these two may achieve lasting personal growth and solidarity.
