Your Leo sun
On the surface you are Leo: the radiant performer who leads with heart, pride and generosity. As a fire sign ruled by The Sun, you present to the world as generous and warm-hearted.
Your Gemini moon
Underneath, though, your moon is in Gemini. A Gemini moon processes feelings through the mind and through words. You need to talk things out to understand them, your moods shift quickly, and you can intellectualise emotion to keep it at arm's length. So while the world meets your Leo face, your private heart has a restless, talkative emotional core that thinks its way through feelings.

The interesting tension is between the two: a Leo identity on the outside, a Gemini emotional core within. Your Leo drive can pull one way while your Gemini feelings pull another, and learning to honour both is the key to feeling whole.
Your fire sun pushes you outward with action, enthusiasm and bold self-expression, while your air moon needs mental space, variety and room to talk things through. Fire and Air are naturally allied elements, so your actions and your feelings tend to cooperate: what you do usually feeds what you need, which gives you an easy, flowing sense of yourself.
In terms of modality, you hold your ground, build steadily and resist being pushed around, while your mutable moon craves variety, stimulation and the freedom to change its mind.
