Signs that are two steps apart in the Western zodiac, as Gemini and Leo are, form what is known as a Sextile interval. This favorable connection is valued for its relaxed, caring energy.

Leo will almost certainly be impressed by Gemini's spirited enthusiasm for exciting ideas, exotic locations, and explorations of identity. Gemini may be equally admiring of Leo's lofty ideals, prodigious abilities, and aspirations for greatness. The elements here are strongly harmonious. Leo's Fire is naturally at ease with Gemini's Air, which encourages Leo's talents to swell and burst forth. Gemini's Air energy similarly rises with enthusiasm and inspiration at the heat Leo provides. Yet the beauty of this energy is that it is compatible without overlapping too much. These two can usually inspire and vitalize each other, but they can also keep a clear sense of their essential differences, and need never feel as if their independent identity might be compromised.

Collaboration is thus likely to be both productive and enjoyable for this duo, with both signs playing to their strengths in an atmosphere of mutual support and good humor. Individual projects, and the relationship as a whole, also benefit from compatible modalities. Leo's Fixed energy focuses on achievement and completion, where Gemini's Mutable modality brings reflectiveness about effects, consequences, and implications. This pairing thus forms a natural sequence from accomplishment in the present to creative exploration about the future.

The principal danger for Gemini and Leo is that one or both signs could take their fortuitous shared energy for granted. It may sometimes seem as if the relationship is too easy, as if the lack of urgency or pressure between these signs equates with a lack of significance. In fact, however, the warmth and generosity between these signs can be strongly dependable, even in the face of great adversity. Ultimately, this can be a standout match in any context.

Clinton wrote in 2018: "[Bush] was an honorable, gracious and decent man who believed in the United States, our Constitution, our institutions and our shared future...He also had a natural humanity, always hoping with all his heart that others’ journeys would include some of the joy that his family, his service and his adventures gave him. His friendship has been one of the great gifts of my life...I cherished every opportunity I had to learn and laugh with him. I just loved him. Many people were surprised at our relationship, considering we were once political adversaries...[T]hough he could be tough in a political fight, he was in it for the right reasons: People always came before politics, patriotism before partisanship. To the end, we knew we would never agree on everything, and we agreed that was okay."

[Remini's] cool and we also have very similar upbringings. That's why we work well together."

The Rabbit and Sheep are one of the most magical pairings in the Chinese zodiac.

A central element of Chinese astrology is the four Trine Families into which the twelve signs divide. One of these consists of the Rabbit and Sheep (along with their most generous ally, the Pig). These signs are bound together by a mutual love of aesthetic beauty, relaxation, and empathy. In the company of some other signs, they can both be quite easily overwhelmed, given their profound sensitivity to perceived ugliness, noise or aggression. But together, they will tend to lose themselves quickly in a wonderful atmosphere of tranquility.

The Sheep will likely be fascinated by the Rabbit's abundant skills and deeply romantic sensibility. Instinctively secure in the Rabbit's company, the Sheep is apt to unleash a true charm offensive, delighting and reassuring the gentle Rabbit. Perhaps no other sign is as capable of expressing pure hypnotic joy as the Sheep when they are at ease! While early exchanges are likely to have a flirtatious quality even in entirely chaste surroundings, the closer these two become, the more likely they are to realise the powerful creative potential of their shared energy. For these two signs are artists in their marrow.

As a pair, the Rabbit and Sheep are capable of expressing their shared aesthetic with extraordinary elegance and refinement, whether in professional projects or in building a home and life together. Given the freedom and peace they need, the results will almost certainly be breathtaking.

He can’t. And I, and everyone else who knows him well, we love him for it. I know one thing: the world would certainly be a hell of a lot more dull if that man weren’t in it."

He is the most loving father, the most brilliant actor, the most beautiful operatic tenor, the most talented visual artist—the wisest and most human advice giver, & best Grandpa ever!!"

But we, against all odds, managed to maintain a great close friendship...[Roberts is] just one of the most genuine friends I have. She's a really generous person—great sense of humor and really caring. Great family, and she's been a good friend and role model for me."

Laurene Jobs described in 2020: "I can talk about him for hours. I met Steve when I was 25 years old. And from the day we met, we were together for 22 years. So he influenced everything. I grew up with him. Just like anyone that you share your life with, there’s an exchange and a robustness. We had a very, very beautiful and rich connection. We talked a lot, for hours every day. To pull out any one way in which he affected my worldview is impossible, because I have integrated so much of him."

Sidney Poitier (2/20/1927, Pisces Rabbit), Joanna Shimkus (10/30/1943, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1976 until Poitier died in 2022. Shimkus described in 1998: "I guess we were just destined to be [together]...It could be that we lead a very quiet life. It could be that it's just the way it is, I don't really know. But I never really did see him as a Black man. I mean, I know he is Black, but I just saw him as a man, and he was just a wonderful person. An amazing human being...The thing that attracted me to him the most, I think, is his integrity and his honesty [and] his loyalty to his family. He's just an amazing human being. He's just a good, good, good person. And he's cute too, yes! And he was especially gorgeous then. He still is too now, but he was very, very attractive then."

Speaking after Miller died tragically at age 26, Lamar described: "All in all that’s the type of person he was — just a good dude. Always made you feel good, just a great energy to have around...Great musician. Great writer. He just always had a smile on his face...No matter what he was going through, he didn’t make you feel sorry for him, you know? He was strong about it —always kept a smile on his face because he wanted you to smile, too. And that’s just something I always loved, you know, no matter whatever personal issues, he gave you that energy. He gave you that energy. It wasn’t no misery loves company with him, you know? He showed a smile and then you gave that smile right back. It made you feel good. So forever we’re gonna remember the life and we’re gonna remember that smile. Celebrate. Mac Miller. Love."
