Leo on the inside, Taurus on the way in.
Your sun in Leo (fire, fixed) is the engine — what burns at the centre, what holds when you are at home in yourself. Your Taurus rising (earth, fixed, ruled by Venus) is the door — the way you arrive in a room, the first read the world takes of you, the body you walk in.
Strangers tend to assume you are steady and grounded — that is the Taurus arriving first. Then they get to know you and discover the Leo fire underneath, which can be a layered second read — they have to update their first impression.
Reads as Taurus until you trust them; then Leo comes through. The fixed-fixed mix means you consistently holds.
