When Gemini and Leo come together in a love affair, their
relationship is playful and high-spirited, characterized by light
activity and optimism. Gemini thrives on mental stimulation and is
therefore very attracted to Leo's creative, dramatic spirit. There can
be trouble between these two, however: If Leo takes Gemini's flirty,
outgoing nature too seriously, or if Gemini thinks Leo wants to
maintain
total control of the relationship, arguments may break out. Though
their
approaches are different -- Gemini likes to analyze things from all
sides in an intellectual conversation while Leo would rather not talk
about it and just jump right in -- they are well-matched.
Both
Leo and Gemini have a lot of energy. Leo likes to be at the helm of any
project, endeavor or outing; Gemini wants to be free to think as fast
and as far as they please. Direct, decisive Leo can help Gemini make a
decision if they start to vacillate due to their ability to see all the
options -- but Leo must take care not to be too bossy, which will turn
Gemini off.
Leo is ruled by the Sun (Self) and Gemini by the
Planet Mercury (Communication). Both of these Signs are skilled at
communication as their planetary influences are similar; they just have
different approaches to self-expression. They may also have heated
debates, but while Gemini finds it fun and mentally stimulating, Leo
takes it quite seriously and can get their feelings very hurt.
Gemini is an Air Sign and Leo is a Fire Sign. Air fuels Fire and
helps it spread far and wide. Gemini has an easy time of keeping up
with
Leo's energy and creativity. Leo tends to be dramatic and
demonstrative, and brainy Gemini always understands Leo's message. The
best thing is, Leo can have an energetic, active day -- and then come
home at night and tell Gemini all about it.
Leo is a Fixed Sign
and Gemini is a Mutable Sign. Leo is stubborn and resolute, a great
leader and somewhat rigid when it comes to changing their ideas or
direction. When Leo makes up their mind, they'll see something through
to the end. Gemini, on the other hand, is flexible in the extreme. They
become bored easily and have no problem letting Leo take the lead -- to
a certain extent. Gemini wants to be the leader of their own thoughts.
They're happy to be in the background, content with their thoughts
while Leo takes the spotlight and the glory.
What's the best
aspect of the Gemini-Leo relationship? Their youthful, even childlike
view of the world. This couple can be a great success due to their
optimism and explorative natures.
