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.

Che Guevara (6/14/1928, Gemini Dragon), Fidel Castro (8/13/1926, Leo Tiger) : The close bond between these two Cuban revolutionaries was studied by biographer Simon Reid-Henry in the book, Fidel and Che: A Revolutionary Friendship. Reid-Henry describes: "[T]heir relationship was of paramount importance to both men...they were not just comrades but compañeros who found common cause at a remarkable historical moment...But their relationship differs from [other giants of Communism such as Engels and Mark or Trotsky and Lenin]...in that it was a full-blooded friendship first and foremost."

George H. W. Bush (6/12/1924, Gemini Rat), Bill Clinton (8/19/1946, Leo Dog) : The 41st and 42nd US Presidents formed a strong friendship, despite running against each other in the 1992 US election. They worked together to spearhead US relief efforts after the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. 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."

Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn

Heidi Klum (6/1/1973, Gemini Ox), Tim Gunn (7/29/1953, Leo Snake) : The model/entertainer and author/entertainer have collaborated for over 18 years on TV shows Project Runway and Making the Cut. Klum has described: "We fell in love with each other from the very first moment of meeting each other! I always say we’re the oldest married couple in 18 years, ever. We learned a lot about each other along the way — what works, what doesn’t work, and how we can evolve."

Amy Schumer (6/1/1981, Gemini Rooster), Jennifer Lawrence (8/15/1990, Leo Horse) : The actor and comedian/actor share a close friendship, after meeting over email and later going on vacation together. In 2015, Lawrence described how they were working together on a screenplay: "Amy and I were creatively made for each other. We have different flavors. It’s been the most fun experience of my life. We start the day off on the phone, laughing. And then we send each other pages."

Leah Remini (6/15/1970, Gemini Dog), Jennifer Lopez (7/24/1969, Leo Rooster) : The two actors have been friends for over ten years, and appeared together in the film Second Act (2018). Lopez has described: "It was one of those instant chemistry things where you just feel like, 'I love this person. I love being around this person. This person makes me laugh. [Remini's] cool and we also have very similar upbringings. That's why we work well together."

Snake and Snake

Compatibility overview

A velvet underground! This pairing can bring forth a dreamy, reflective atmosphere, freighted with the Snake's unique brand of philosophical sensuality. Natives of the Snake year may find other relationships that burn more intensely or cry out for more attention, but rarely will they enjoy the quiet assurance and peacefulness they can share with a kindred Snake.

Any pairing between two of the same signs in the Chinese zodiac involves the same Trine Family (similar to the elements in Western astrology). The family of the Snake, which also includes the Ox and Rooster, emphasises commercial acumen and patient commitment. Two Snakes together share these fundamental qualities of insight and perseverance, which can form a bedrock for a dependable and profitable relationship.

The Snake also tends to be fabulously attractive, with a profoundly mystical appeal. While this can certainly lead to much enjoyment, not to mention pragmatic gains of one kind or another, it can also make natives of the Snake suspicious that the attentions of others are not based on a full appreciation of their qualities. The Snake is famously wise and philosophical, after all, with much to offer beyond what is only skin deep. A connection between two people of this sign can therefore develop a particular closeness, partly born of their respective capacities for deep thought and sensual pleasure, but also based on a shared understanding that it can be lonely to be valued without feeling properly understood.

Of course, all own-sign matches must face the risk that there is an overabundance of shared energy without sufficient counterbalancing forces. Typically these two would both expect to be the more beguiling, elusive member of a partnership. For a pair of Snake natives, neither may be accustomed to giving as much attention as the other is accustomed to receiving. Also, two Snakes may be mistrustful of each other's charming wiles, in part because this sign is especially prone to jealousy, but also because they tend to know themselves the temptation to use manipulation for selfish ends. Ultimately, this potent but sometimes variable compatibility can produce a relationship that functions especially well without the interference of others.

A pair of Snake natives may be at their most comfortable and successful exploring their talents and pleasures together in serene tranquility.

John F. Kennedy (5/29/1917, Gemini Snake), Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (7/28/1929, Leo Snake) : The 35th US President and First Lady were one of the most popular couples in the world. They were married from 1953 until Kennedy's assassination in 1963, and had four children (including a stillborn daughter and a son who was born prematurely and died after two days). The relationship has been a subject of widespread fascination, especially Kennedy's notorious reputation for infidelity. In a letter written around 1957, Jackie Kennedy wrote: "I know everyone says married couples should never separate—as you get off the same wave length—It is true you do—but I think it is usually good when we go away from each other as we both realize so much. We are so different—but I was thinking this trip—that every other time I’ve been away, you would write ‘don’t ponder our relationship too much’ etc.—and now I don’t, as one doesn’t ponder anything that is a part of you...You are an atypical husband—increasingly so in one way or another every year since we’ve been married—so you mustn’t be surprised to have an atypical wife—Each of us would have been so lonely with the normal kind. I can’t write down what I feel for you, but I will show you when I am with you—and I think you must know—All my love Jackie."

Chris Martin (3/2/1977, Pisces Snake), Dakota Johnson (10/4/1989, Libra Snake) : The musician and actor have been dating since 2017. Though they have disclosed few details about about their relationship, in 2022 Johnson described: "We’ve been together for quite a while, and we go out sometimes, but we both work so much that it’s nice to be at home and be cozy and private. Most of the partying takes place inside my house."

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel

Paul Simon (10/13/1941, Libra Snake), Art Garfunkel (11/5/1941, Scorpio Snake) : The two musicians were childhood friends who first recorded together at age 15, and later formed the hugely successful duo, Simon & Garfunkel. Their relationship was famously troubled. Their onetime manager, Mort Lewis, described: "They both envied the other’s place in the team. Paul often thought the audience saw Artie as the star because he was the featured singer, and some people probably thought Artie even wrote the songs. But Artie knew Paul wrote the songs and thus controlled the future of the pair." Garfunkel admitted feeling resentful that Simon recorded solo after they were first signed as a duo in the 1950s: "[T]he friendship was shattered for life...I never forget, and I never really forgive. Paul won the writer’s royalties. I got the girls." After a reunion tour was cancelled in 2010 due to problems with Garfunkel's voice, Simon said: "[Garfunkel] let us all down. I was tired of all the drama. I didn’t feel I could trust him any more."

Bob Dylan (5/24/1941, Gemini Snake), David Crosby (8/14/1941, Leo Snake) : The two legendary musicians became friends when Crosby's band, The Byrds, covered the Dylan song, "Mr. Tambourine Man". Dylan later described: "[Crosby] was a colorful and unpredictable character, wore a Mandrake the Magician cape, didn’t get along with too many people and had a beautiful voice — an architect of harmony. He was tottering on the brink of death even then and could freak out a whole city block all by himself, but I liked him a lot...He could be an obstreperous companion." Crosby has said: "[Dylan] doesn’t welcome you in with open arms and show you who Bob is. He likes being mysterious. He likes being oblique. And he’s smart enough to pull it off. He’s a very interesting guy to be friends with. Very interesting."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders (9/8/1941, Virgo Snake), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (10/13/1989, Libra Snake) : The two US politicians share a famous alignment as left-wing progressives. After Sanders suffered a heart attack in 2019, Ocasio-Cortez called him in hospital to give him her coveted endorsement as a presidential candidate. Shortly afterwards, Ocasio-Cortez described: "Well, I think one of the things that's so important about what Senator Sanders is talking about and what this campaign is about is that it's far larger than a presidential campaign. This is about really creating a mass movement, a multiracial mass movement of working-class Americans to guarantee health care, housing and education as rights for all, to draw back our endless wars and to promote an agenda of peace and prosperity abroad and to really address some of the systemic issues that are underlying a lot of the problems and inequalities in our economy today."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Sextile match of firstwest and secondwest is one of the most dependable combinations in the Western zodiac, so from the beginning these two will likely share a good-natured and pleasurable connection. This natural camaraderie may be enhanced by the own-sign combination of firsteast and secondeast, which offers plenty of scope for a shared outlook and mutual admiration. There are limitations—the Sextile is sometimes so easy-breezy both signs overlook its potential, while the lack of balance on the Eastern side may at times cramp the relationship or make dispute resolution difficult. On balance, though, these are two kindred spirits, with excellent prospects of providing each other with long-term support, tenderness, and enjoyment.
