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."

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."

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."

Compatibility overview

Chinese astrology can often be bluntly positive or negative, but in this case the picture is more nuanced. firsteast and secondeast share some complex energy, which is nurturing and supportive on one hand, yet uncertain and non-committal on the other. The bottom line is that these two can admire each other greatly, and with some delicate handling at times, they can share a truly meaningful connection.

The four Trine Families that are the cornerstone of Eastern astrology work similarly to the elements in Western astrology. Truth be told, the families of the Pig (with the Rabbit and Sheep) and the Rooster (with the Ox and Snake) are not usually thought of as very compatible. In fact there are some problematic matches in this group (e.g., the Pig and the Snake, or the Rooster and the Rabbit). The Pig and Rooster, however, escape the most troublesome aspects of this surrounding energy. In fact, these two share some strong synergies.

The Rooster's dazzling panache almost invariably draws them into the limelight, taking center stage in one way or another. The Pig's generous spirit means they are naturally gregarious, so these two signs can be very comfortable together in social settings or the public eye. The Pig and Rooster are also alike in their somewhat deceptive capacity for devotion and hard work. Outsiders can sometimes suspect that the Rooster is all for show, or that the Pig's indulgent and trusting nature makes them ineffectual. However, such judgements are usually profoundly wrong. These signs are both capable of incredible efforts when they are motivated. Successful pairings between the Pig and Rooster will often inspire and encourage both signs to fulfil their potential, and can provide a very effective shield against negativity or criticism.

The more destabilizing side of this connection arises because of some quite starkly different instincts. The Pig is at heart a peaceable creature, unguarded and sometimes naive, where the Rooster is a more pragmatic tactician, highly adept at navigating and even manipulating social dynamics. This divide can cause feelings of isolation, where both signs feel somewhat invisible in the relationship. These souls both have a weakness for self-absorption when they feel neglected. The Pig may find themselves giving in to self-indulgence or frustration, while the Rooster risks becoming bitter or obsessive about their own disappointment. Plenty of space and communication are advisable here, as well as working to make sure that care and concern does not come across as condescending or insensitive.

With understanding and sensitivity, the strong affinities between these signs can produce wonderful results and lasting happiness in any context.

Jennifer Westfeldt (2/2/1970, Aquarius Rooster), Jon Hamm (3/10/1971, Pisces Pig) : The two actors were together for 18 years before separating in 2015. They met in the late 1990s before either had achieved significant success. Hamm described appreciatively during an awards ceremony: "There’s another person [Westfeldt] who’s actually sitting in the audience who basically told me when I wasn’t working that I was still talented. And she’s stuck with me for the last 16 years, even if the talent question remains up for grabs."

Lleyton Hewitt (2/24/1981, Pisces Rooster), Bec Hewitt (7/23/1983, Leo Pig) : The actor and former tennis professional have been married since 2005 and have three children together. Bec Hewitt has described their courtship as a "whirlwind", as Lleyton proposed after six weeks. Lleyton has described: "[Bec] really is my soulmate, and we go through absolutely everything together! I couldn't be prouder to have Bec alongside me."

Donnie Wahlberg and Mark Wahlberg

Donnie Wahlberg (8/17/1969, Leo Rooster), Mark Wahlberg (6/5/1971, Gemini Pig) : The two famous brothers and high-profile actors were originally both in the band New Kids on the Block (NKOTB), with Mark leaving before the band's massive success during 1989-1994. Speaking about the reality show Wahlburgers, which focused on the chain restaurant owned by the brothers (with brother Paul Wahlberg), Donnie described: “When the restaurant came about, we started to connect more regularly because of the business, but it didn’t require us to be in the same place...but the show changed that. Not that there were any rifts or anything, but we were off doing our own things and the further you are physically, the easier it is to lose track of the years...The show reconnected us by putting us in the same room together more often...We make the effort to be together more and it has reconnected us in the way that the business alone wouldn’t have.”

Carol Burnett (4/26/1933, Taurus Rooster), Julie Andrews (10/1/1935, Libra Pig) : The comedian and actor have been friends since the 1960s, and have collaborated professionally on many occasions. Andrews has described: "Oh my gosh, yes she is such a great chum! And you know, I’m the bad girl when we get together. She brings out the mischief in me, and she’s the quiet one. It’s very funny."

Ariana Grande (6/26/1993, Cancer Rooster), Dalton Gomez (8/7/1995, Leo Pig) : The singer and real estate agent married at a private intimate ceremony in 2021. Though they have been private throughout their relationship, Grande posted on Gomez's 26th birthday: "Happy birthday to my baby my husband my best friend. I love you infinitely."

Final Words

The Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest is perhaps the most uniquely joyful and low-maintenance in the Western zodiac, offering both any-kind-of-weather reliability and belly-laughs in spades. This injects welcome lightness to the dynamic between the firsteast and secondeast in this relationship, two signs who often admire and care about each other greatly, but can also experience a sense of not being fully appreciated or understood. Overall, this is an energy matrix that bodes well for trustworthiness and humor, accentuating the highs, and smoothing quickly over the lows.
