Moon-sign match · मिथुन & सिंह
Gemini and Leo compatibility
Two Moon signs fix 11–12 of the 36 gun milan points; depending on the nakshatras, the full score runs from 19.5 to 28.5. Every number is computed by our kundli-matching code — no guessed percentage.
Moon signs, not Sun signs
Most pages you find for “Gemini and Leo compatibility” are about Western Sun signs — the Sun's sign on your birthday, in the tropical zodiac — and many add a percentage no rule produces. This page uses the Vedic Moon sign (rashi): the sign the Moon was in at birth, in the sidereal (Lahiri) zodiac. For most people the two are different signs, and gun milan is built on the Moon sign and nakshatra.
The points the signs fix
| Koota | Max | Groom Gemini, bride Leo | Groom Leo, bride Gemini |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Vashya | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Graha Maitri | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| Bhakoot | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| Fixed by the signs | 15 | 11 | 12 |
| Tara + yoni + gana + nadi (need nakshatras) | 21 | 8.5–16.5 | 7.5–16.5 |
| Full score — possible range | 36 | 19.5–27.5 | 19.5–28.5 |
Traditional gun milan reads some kootas (varna, gana) from the groom's side to the bride's, so both directions are shown. The ranges come from running every nakshatra these two signs can hold (and both vashya halves of Sagittarius and Capricorn) through our kundli-matching code.

Match two kundlisGemini and Leo: the traditional reading
Element and nature
A fire Moon with an air Moon. Air is said to feed fire: ideas and encouragement flow both ways and the mood is lively. The care point is steadiness — both can lose interest in routine. One fixed sign and one dual: steadiness on one side, flexibility on the other. (Gemini: air, dual; Leo: fire, fixed.)
The lords' friendship
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, Leo by Sun. In natural friendship Mercury counts Sun as a friend, and Sun counts Mercury as neutral — friend and neutral. That gives graha maitri 4 of 5, read as how easily the two minds meet.
Bhakoot: 3/11
The signs are third and eleventh from each other — the houses of effort and of gains. Bhakoot gives the full 7; tradition reads a pairing that supports each other's work and friendships. (Leo is the 3rd sign from Gemini, and Gemini the 11th from Leo.)
Varna and vashya
Varna follows the Moon sign's element (water Brahmin, fire Kshatriya, earth Vaishya, air Shudra — classical labels for temperament, not the person's caste): Gemini is Shudra, Leo is Kshatriya. Varna is read one way — 1 point when the groom's varna is equal to or higher than the bride's — so it scores 0 when the groom's Moon is in Gemini and 1 when it is in Leo. Vashya groups: Gemini human (manav), Leo wild (vanachar) — 0 of 2.
What stays unknown without the nakshatras
Of the 36 points, 15 (varna, vashya, graha maitri, bhakoot) are fixed by the two Moon signs alone; for Gemini and Leo they come to 11–12. The other 21 (tara, yoni, gana, nadi) depend on the birth nakshatras — across every nakshatra these two signs can hold, they range 7.5–16.5. So the full score can be anywhere from 19.5 to 28.5. Every nakshatra pairing reaches the traditional line of 18.
Nadi (8 points) is the heaviest koota and depends entirely on the nakshatras. Between these signs, these nakshatra pairings share a nadi and score 0 for it: Mrigashira – Purva Phalguni; Ardra – Uttara Phalguni; Punarvasu – Uttara Phalguni. Every other pairing gets the full 8.
| Nakshatra | Magha | Purva Phalguni | Uttara Phalguni |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mrigashira | 22.5 | 19.5(nadi) | 27.5 |
| Ardra | 21.5 | 27.5 | 20.5(nadi) |
| Punarvasu | 21.5 | 26.5 | 20.5(nadi) |
| Nakshatra | Mrigashira | Ardra | Punarvasu |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magha | 23.5 | 22.5 | 22.5 |
| Purva Phalguni | 19.5(nadi) | 28.5 | 26.5 |
| Uttara Phalguni | 27.5 | 21.5(nadi) | 20.5(nadi) |
Tradition takes 18 or more as acceptable; cells below 18 are shown lighter. The number alone decides nothing — the exceptions, both whole charts and, above all, the two people matter.
Frequently asked questions
Are Gemini and Leo compatible in Vedic astrology?
The signs alone cannot say. 11–12 of the 36 gun milan points are fixed by the two Moon signs (bhakoot relation: 3/11); depending on the nakshatras, the full score can be anywhere from 19.5 to 28.5. For the exact score, match both birth charts.
Why do other sites give a compatibility percentage?
No rule of gun milan produces a percentage for a pair of signs. We show only what the calculation gives: the points the signs fix, and the range of the points that depend on the nakshatras.
Is this about Sun signs?
No. This uses the Vedic Moon sign — the Moon's sign at birth, sidereal (Lahiri). Find yours with the free kundli or the rashi calculator.
