Air fanning fire
A sextile joins compatible elements, and air with fire is a classic example. Gemini supplies the conversation and ideas, and Leo supplies the enthusiasm and generosity. Each makes the other feel more entertaining.
Mercury makes Gemini witty and adaptable; the Sun makes Leo radiant and proud. Gemini tends to give Leo the audience it enjoys, and Leo gives Gemini a reason to perform.
Romance
Dating tends to be bright, flirtatious and full of laughter. Leo is delighted by Gemini's quick humour, and Gemini enjoys Leo's big-heartedness. Parties, travel and shared creative interests suit them.
In the longer term, Leo wants loyalty and admiration, while Gemini wants freedom and variety. If Gemini flirts widely, Leo may feel slighted. Be clear about boundaries and make a point of praising each other sincerely.
Friendship
These friends are rarely bored. Gemini brings the gossip and clever remarks, Leo throws the gathering. Both tend to be generous with time and enthusiasm.
Leo needs to feel appreciated, and Gemini sometimes forgets to say so. A quick, sincere compliment goes far.
Working together
In a team, Gemini communicates and networks, and Leo leads and motivates. Media, events, teaching, sales and entertainment suit this pair.
Leo, being fixed, holds firm to plans, while Gemini likes to change them. Agree early how decisions are made and who has the final say.
Possible snags
Ego and inconsistency are the main sources of trouble. Leo may feel Gemini does not take things seriously enough, and Gemini may feel Leo is too concerned with status and recognition.
A sharp remark from Gemini can wound Leo's pride, and Leo's dramatic reactions may seem excessive to Gemini. Humour helps, as long as it is kind.
Keeping the sparkle
Share the spotlight, keep promises and stay curious. Remember that sun signs are one layer of a chart, so this is a guide to tendencies and not a prediction.
