Gemini and Leo can be a fun and harmonious match, often resembling a TV comedy show (in a good way!)
These scores show the averages for data collected from my clients over the past 20 years. It's important to note however that individual relationships vary enormously. This is a summarized picture, a real compatibility reading is needed to judge a real relationship. It's also worth noting that Soulmates can be found in any sun sign match, even those which are statistically likely to have low compatibility.
This article is in two halves, the first is written from the viewpoint of the Gemini man or Gemini woman, and the second is written from the viewpoint of the Leo man or Leo woman.
Outgoing, dramatic and bold, Leos like to live life on a large scale. While you don't share the need to be so extravagant, you'll certainly enjoy both the dramatic element and the endless stream of new and interesting places to go and activities to try.
You're both very outgoing and sociable, and both enjoy being the center of attention. You'll probably have a lot of fun competing with each other for center stage.
Your Leo tends to be dramatic and charismatic while you're intelligent and creative. You're both affectionate and enjoy making others laugh. Together you'll both enjoy and feed off of each other - especially if there's an appreciative audience!
You both can be somewhat flirtatious, and may want to agree early on just how okay this is. Many Leos aren't bothered by a flirtatious partner, however some are, so this may be worth discussing early if your Leo gets possessive.
Keep in mind that a little flattery will go a long way to keep your lion happy in this area, and you're ideally suited to delivering and taking advantage of that! On a related note, it's likely that your Leo will want a commitment before you're ready.
You're overall a more mental person, favoring analysis over intuition, while your Leo tends more towards acting on impulse, passion or whim. Often this leads in some extravagant directions. While you don't share the same fondness for the extravagant and dramatic, you'll probably enjoy the entertaining element of this regardless.
One of the few differences between you is that your Leo enjoys a fairly high level of organization and structure in their life. Conversely you are more likely to thrive on a certain amount of chaos, often starting projects without finishing them and welcoming distractions if they arise.
It's important to note however that we're looking only at sun signs here. There are many other planets which can have an equal or greater effect on someone's personality. Makes sense, as ultimately everyone is of course unique. Generalizing too far based just on sun signs can therefore be misleading.
To fully understand someone or how compatible you are with them we need to calculate those other planet placements from their date of birth, and compare them to your own, and then interpret the results.
This unlocks the real power of astrology, and gives much more useful and specific information: everything from how they view you, how to turn them on, how to avoid arguments with them etc. If you would like to explore this further please see the compatibility readings page.
Gemini is a very light and fun partner, ideally suited to bringing out your playful and competitive side. One of the zodiacs communicators Gemini's are always talking to someone!

You both can be somewhat flirtatious, and may want to agree early on just how okay this is. As a side note, you tend to be more possessive than your Gemini, and may find yourself wanting a commitment before they are ready. Be wary, as this partner is a free spirit and is often put off by partners who are smothering or too emotionally needy early in a relationship.
One of the few areas of difference is that you enjoy a fairly high level of organization and structure in your life. Conversely your Gemini often thrives on a little chaos, often starting projects without finishing them and welcoming distractions when doing almost anything.
Overall this is a good match, and like many good ones you mesh so well that there's not nearly as much to say as there is with potentially bad relationships.
There's great chemistry in this match, which like other aspect of the relationship is likely to be light, passionate and fun, rather than heavy or emotional.
So is this article conclusive? No! This article is based only on sun sign interaction. In order to provide a lot of people with information it's a convenient and fast way to generalize, but it's far from conclusive at this broad level. To get a complete picture we need to take all the other planets and their interactions into account for each of you, with a real astrology reading...
