Gemini and Leo — the verdict
Gemini finds Leo genuinely entertaining and Leo finds Gemini genuinely attentive, which is most of what each one wants. This sextile is one of the most sociable pairings on the wheel — the double act works in any room. The weak point is that fixed Leo needs reassurance of a kind mutable Gemini forgets to supply consistently.
