Gemini - Leo Relationship

Gemini Calculates the sunny but sometimes insufferable antics of the Lion, The Twins wonder: "Does the big cat actually posses such complete self-assurance? or could Leo only be trying to prove that the reality is as infallible and fearless as the image?" - a typical Gemini mind trip.

As the Leo lazily studies the Gemini Twins, the cat has a similar thought: "All that mental and physical activity must be a compensation of some kind.  Survival alone isn't sufficient reason for so much unnecessary maneuvering.  Is Gemini trying to span East, West, North, and South all at once to hide the fact that they are lost in the woods with a broken compass?"

They've both guessed the truth about each other.  Yes, the Cat's are trying to prove to themselves and the rest of the world, through a show of arrogant bravado, that Leo's are as brave inwardly as the outwardly seem.  And yes, Gemini is trying to prove to the Twin Self and everyone else that they are racing straight ahead, in the right direction, and not really running around in circles.

The Twin gifts of charm and glibness make the typical Gemini an expert Lion tamer, cleverly cajoling Leo to docilely jump through their Gemini hoops.  When your're conversing with a Lion, you sandwich the cold facts in between thick slices of warm flattery.  There's a technique to it - like grovel while you're leveling with them.

Leo's are excellent organizers, expert at delegating authority, and settled enough to wait out with composure the final success of their grandiose schemes and promotions.  But they may not show as much patience with Gemini's changability.  The Cat's can become indignant over the Twins' tnedency to speed through life, discarding former convictions like yesterday's newspaper, tossing away homes and jobs and friends with minor flaws, too soon, with no reflective retrospection, but simply dashing off to the next fascinating interest.  To the loyal, more languid Leo, fast is not always best, or right.  Then Gemini will be treated to one of Leo's lectures of enlightenment.

Leos the eternal Big Brothers and Sisters, are unable to resist predicting that the people they guide are going to want to look them up someday to thank them for their unsolicited pearls of wosdom.  As if Gemini had time to stop and make out a list of such obligations.  They're too busy selling that sour cream as buttermilk.  As for the holes Leo cautioned them about, Geminis will simply leap out of them, land on their feet, and skate across the same thin ice again, while Leo pouts and asks petulantly, "Don't you ever get caught?"

Yes, sometimes Geminis do get caught by their own cleverness.  Why worry, when the brave King or Queen will pull them out in a last-minute rescue?  Then, Leo will blush and bow as Gemini sings Leo's favorite lyric of flattery.  "Boy, You sure were right about everything you said.  Thanks for warning me in time.  I don't know what I'd do without you," say the Twins, quite probably sincerely, who have not managed to have their cake and eat it too.  Royal protection, plus freedom.

Gemini Woman - Leo Man


A Leo man will often deny his superiority complex and try to hide his exaggerated need for respect, but he can't fool the bright Gemini girl who loves him.  The Gemini woman is defensive of her Lion.  She wants to shield him and unintentional wounds to his vanity.  Something in her perceptive heart tells her the right thing to san and do, at the right time, to bring out alll his warm tenderness and generosity.  She looks up to him as a safe, loving haven from a world of skeptics, who don't understand her.  Naturally, this flatters the Big Cat's masculine pride, which he possesses in greater abundance than the average male, and makes him cherish her all the more.  It can slowly slither into a mutual-admiration society.

However, their basic compatibility won't prevent spells of rebellion of both sides.  Her nonchalance can fire the Leo temper, which is slow to ignite, but difficult to extinguish, once it's aroused and flaming.  Then she may use the quarrel to practice her syntax and sarcasm, which will cut sharply into his Leo ego.  If her multiple fascinations and outside interests should distract her from daily worship of the Lion, he'll wonder what any other monarch wonders when his subjects are too busy to line up at the curb and cheer him, maybe they're no longer layal to their King.  Maybe she's found someone she admires more than him.

The poor girl doesn't know what she's risking.  He's told her a number of times about all the girls before her and how grief striken they were when he left them, she better watch herself or he'll dig up his fat little black book and call a few numbers, even though most of them are married or nuns, they would jump at the chance to get back together, some women know when they are lucky.

While he may roar from time to time, he will forgive her the minute she flashes her Gemini bloney and pulls off a quick change from the flighty, reckless, bitter Twin to the sensible, womanly, devoted Twin.  As for her outside interests, he won't mind, as long as nothing takes priority over him.  A woman who is the King's favorite has rewards.  A Lion is full of fun, generous with his time and money, strong and brave, even gentle, when his ego is stroked softly in the right direction.  Last but not least, he's a wonderful lover.  Her Genini talent fro imagery will bring excitement to their physical relationship, and if she contnues to evoke in him the sensation that he's a sexual conqueror, he'll remain a satisfied and monogamous monarch.

Gemini Man-Leo Woman

Every Lioness, quiet naturally, has an instinctive desire to tame the man she loves, to make him her exclusive property.  she needs a mate in whom she can have absolote faith, a man who is clearly stronger than she is, and yet, who will cherish her without reservation.  It's a might tall order, escpecially when she sets out to tame a Gemini.

In the Game of Love, as in the Game of Life and Living, this man is what card players call a kibitzer.  He hangs around, with always a few hidden aces up his sleeve, aware of everyone's hand, confident that he could, if need be, pass off a busted straight as a royal flush.  He knows a lot about everything, but not quite enough to make a grand slam and end the challenge he finds so intriguing.  It makes more sense to Gemini to be a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.  Once you become expert at any one of them, people have an annoying habit of expecting you to stay there, doing your thing forever.

Gemini has a need for change, any kind of change at all, just so it's change.  No long term investments in a career, family ties, friendship or romance, for the typical Gemini male- at least, not while he's young.  That might be a long time, as Gemini never grows up.

If Kitty Girl has permanence in mind, she'll first have to tame him.  A Gemini man is slippery and elusive.  Remember, there are two of them.  His escape hatches are covered with such charm of speech and gesture that this man can be gone while a girl is still swooning over the wisp of beauty he draped over her to camouflage his departure and make it easier for her to bear.  He does have a kind heart.  But the Lioness has a head start on this sort of chicanery, because a Leo woman doesn't swoon over men.  Men swoon over her, and don't you forget it!

Since the Gemini man is bored by most females, because they all seem the same to him, Leo Girl will have to convince him that she's not like all others.  She'll have to seed memories in his mind and convince hem that she's unique.  It's all part of the Gemini taming process.  A girl who loves this man must keep up with both his mind and his body, not to mention his two separate personalities and his multiple moods.  Eventually, he'll begin to think of her as the most unique woman he's ever known.  But he won't be completely tamed until he thinks of ther as the most unique woman he ever will know.  there's a definite difference, and a Lioness will comprehend what I mean right away.

This man and woman are both extravagant with words and with money.  They share exquisite taste, they both adore dressing up, they're equally fond of travel, literature and the arts.  They're also both equally adept at getting their own way, she through the lovable quality of expecting it as her right, he, through his irristible blarney.  Leo Girl can tame the Gemini man more easily if she remembers the rules for taming any restless, active, yet curious bird.  It requires much patience, and you start by smiling at him with your eyes, at a distance, taking care not to move too quickly, for that would frighten him away.  In the beginning, silent communion is best, because words, especially between these two Signs, often contain the seeds of misunderstanding.  then if she moves a little nearer him every day and never causes him to feel his freedom is threatened----------
