Trine relationships, where signs are four steps apart, are beloved in both Western and Chinese astrology. For Aquarius and Gemini, the Trine interval means they share the element of Air. Air is the most highly cerebral and sociable element. Hence there is every chance these two will hit it off immediately, sharing witty banter and their mutual love of ideas from far and wide.

Aquarius is an intellectual at heart, with an endless interest in universal truths and wisdom. Gemini will likely be enthralled, not only by the subjects dearest to Aquarius' heart, but by the logical and rationalist way in which Aquarius' mind works. Aquarius will find similarly appealing the breadth of Gemini's interests, especially their fascination with travel and cultural diversity. Freedom—conceptual and physical—will likely prove especially fertile common ground for this pairing. Gemini's instinctive desire to explore and experiment with individual identity knits beautifully with Aquarius' tendency towards unorthodoxy and eternal acceptance of others.

Over time, the spontaneous harmony between these two can be expected to become ever deeper and richer. Gemini's reflective Mutable modality—always asking, What comes next?—forms a natural complement to Aquarius' Fixed energy, with its focus on real-world accomplishment. Hence these two are natural collaborators, encouraging each other when they speak directly, and fostering a supportive environment simply with their presence and attitudes. Affection, spoken and unspoken, may prove effortless in this combination. The challenges for Air signs, which can be fickle or bitter when stressed or rejected, are unlikely to surface much here at all.

In short, this is as fortuitous as any match in Western astrology, and may prove a blessing in whatever context Aquarius and Gemini encounter one another.

Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche

Anne Heche (5/25/1969, Gemini Rooster), Ellen DeGeneres (1/26/1958, Aquarius Rooster) : The entertainer and actor dated between 1997 and 2000 and for a time were one of the most famous lesbian couples in the world. Heche (who died in 2022) described later: "This wasn’t a long-term love affair. This was a moment in my life when I was given the glory of being able to stand up for what I believe in and have since I was a kid."

Megan Thee Stallion (2/15/1995, Aquarius Pig), Normani (5/31/1996, Gemini Rat) : The singers teamed up for the track 'Diamonds' from the Birds of Prey soundtrack and have developed a strong friendship, with Teen Vogue describing: "Within the three years since they first met, they have become inseparable — or, as inseparable as two people could possibly be with superstar schedules."

Björn Borg and John McEnroe

Björn Borg (6/6/1956, Gemini Monkey), John McEnroe (2/16/1959, Aquarius Pig) : The former professional tennis rivals, who played epic Wimbledon finals in 1980 and 1981, have developed a lasting friendship. McEnroe has described: "I think the best part for me personally is that Björn and I still get along. I think he is the only one of my rivals that I actually got along with. Everyone else, I was fighting all the time."

Jim Belushi (6/15/1954, Gemini Horse), John Belushi (1/24/1949, Aquarius Rat) : The two brothers achieved lasting fame for their respective achievements in films and entertainment. The death of the elder John Belushi at 33 in 1982 has been described as the "defining trauma" of younger Jim Belushi's life. In an interview, Jim remembered a trip they took to the Russian baths when he was 21: "The steam’s coming through the pipes, and a guy comes up with a bucketful of soap and starts smacking me with a bunch of oak leaves. Then John puts me in a cold shower, and I’m just standing there, naked. He takes some shampoo and washes my hair. That moment to me was like: 'This guy loves me.'"

Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford

Carey Mulligan (5/28/1985, Gemini Ox), Marcus Mumford (1/31/1987, Aquarius Rabbit) : The singer and actor married in 2012 and have two children together. They knew each other as childhood pen pals, exchanging letters through their church. Mulligan has said that they still write to each other sometimes when apart: "Love letters are becoming a lost art form, which is very sad. To have a love letter from someone, to hold it in your hand and know you can keep it for your whole life, that's an amazing thing."

Kylie Minogue (5/28/1968, Gemini Monkey), Michael Hutchence (1/22/1960, Aquarius Pig) : The two legendary Australian musicians were romantically involved between 1989 and 1991. Minogue later described: "Sex, love, food, drugs, music, travel, books, you name it, he wanted to experience it. As his partner I got to experience a lot of that as well. If you're a sensual being, all of your senses need stimulation. He definitely awakened my desire for things in my world."

This is one of the Chinese zodiac's prized Soulmate matches.

Quite simply, these two complement each other perfectly. The Monkey can discover that their sprightly cleverness is at once calmed and given true purpose by the profound, philosophical Snake. The Snake, meanwhile, finds endless delight in the Monkey's brilliant skills and frisky enthusiasm. Together, a union between these two tends to express the very best of their respective attributes. It is outwardly a spectacular blend of ingenuity, wisdom, and allure. For the parties themselves, the relationship can prove a once-in-a-lifetime source of security, reassurance, and selfless devotion.

Of course, all this potential does not come without cost. Soulmate energy can prove demanding. The Monkey and Snake may find their time together so absorbing that the relationship puts pressure on other parts of their lives. The potential for jealousy or disappointment, if either party is distracted, can be greater than with other harmonious combinations that are less intense or exclusive in orientation.

Ultimately, if this relationship is given the space it needs to breathe and grow, the rewards are likely to be nothing short of extraordinary.

June Carter (6/23/1929, Cancer Snake), Johnny Cash (2/26/1932, Pisces Monkey) : After a difficult courtship—both were religious and married to other people when they met—these two legendary country music stars were married from 1968 until 2003. They collaborated extensively, including on the albums, Carryin' On With Johnny Cash & June Carter (1967), Johnny Cash and His Woman (1973), Return to the Promised Land (2000), and Duets (2006). According to one biographer, Cash's first words on meeting Carter were, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash and I'm going to marry you someday."

Paul Simon (10/13/1941, Libra Snake), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The actor and musician were in an intimate relationship for 12 years, off and on, including a short-lived marriage. Fisher wrote in her memoir, Wishful Drinking: "Paul and I dated for six years, married for two, divorced for one, and then we had good memories of each other so what do you think we did? ... We dated again."

Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady

Tom Brady (8/3/1977, Leo Snake), Gisele Bündchen (7/20/1980, Cancer Monkey) : The model and NFL legend meet in 2006 were married from 2009 to 20022. They have two children, and Bündchen is stepmother to Brady's child from a previous relationship (with Bridget Moynahan). Bündchen described early in their relationship: "You know that feeling of, like, you can’t get enough? From the first day we met, we’ve never spent one day without speaking to each other." Their break-up followed Brady's decision to return to playing NFL football only six weeks after announcing his retirement in February 2022. Shortly before their separation was announced, Bündchen described: "Obviously, I have my concerns—this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like [Brady] to be more present. I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again."

René Angélil (1/16/1942, Capricorn Snake), Celine Dion (3/30/1968, Aries Monkey) : The music producer and singer first met when Angélil heard a demo Dion recorded as a 12-year old. As well as business partners, the pair were married from 1994 until his death in 2016, and had twins together. Dion said in 2013, "We laugh. We joke. We kid each other. We want our marriage to last forever. Talk over everything and you’ll find you are still on the honeymoon. Communication — it’s the most important. It’s the secret."

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez

Taylor Swift (12/13/1989, Sagittarius Snake), Selena Gomez (7/22/1992, Cancer Monkey) : The superstar musician and singer/actor have been close friends since 2008. Swift described in a joint interview: "There has always been this quality of sisterhood, and I don't say that in a basic way. I knew from when I met [Gomez] I would always have her back. In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don't know if I can forgive someone who hurts her." Gomez added: "There's so much of my friendship with Taylor that people don't know about because we don't necessarily feel the need to post about everything we do. She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected. Flown in because I was hurt and was going through something. Stuff that was going on with my family. It's been proven year after year and in every moment of my life that she is one of my best friends in the world. We don't agree on everything, but we respect each other with everything."

Robin Dearden (12/4/1953, Sagittarius Snake), Bryan Cranston (3/7/1956, Pisces Monkey) : The two actors have been married since 1989. A year after Cranston held Dearden at gunpoint in an episode of Airwolf, they met up again and spontaneously shared a lingering kiss. Cranston has recounted, "We were both like, 'Wait that was too long, wasn’t it?'...And that is really what happened."

Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie

Dizzy Gillespie (10/21/1917, Libra Snake), Charlie Parker (8/29/1920, Virgo Monkey) : The two jazz legends collaborated extensively during the 1940s, becoming pivotal contributors to the development of bebop and modern jazz. Gillespie's memoir, To Be or Not to Bop (1985) described: "[Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker] made a gigantic contribution, which really added a new dimension to the music. It’s hard to describe it exactly, he contributed so many different elements...'Bird' has some notes in his melodies, the lines that he wrote, that are deep, deep notes, as deep as anything Beethoven ever wrote. And he had little things that he used to play inside. He’d play other tunes inside the chords of the original melody, and they were always right...Charlie Parker was something else."

Björk (11/21/1965, Scorpio Snake), Thom Yorke (10/7/1968, Libra Monkey) : The two musicians collaborated on the track "I’ve Seen It All" (with Sjón and Lars von Trier) from the soundtrack for Dancer in the Dark (2000). Bjork described at the time: "I respect [Yorke] very much. He’s very shy and uncertain and doesn’t [reveal] too much of himself. That’s why it’s quite hard for me to explain what he’s like. I can’t do him justice. But he’s a very special person. When he enters a room he affects the whole atmosphere in a very positive way...His work is based on communication and understanding. He’s very down-to-earth and not egocentric at all. We worked together for three or four days, which I’m very grateful about. We worked together with songs, which I had worked on during three years not knowing what to do with them. Thanks to him these songs saw a new light of day and that was a wonderful experience." In 2006, Yorke said Bjork's "Unravel" was, "[O]ne of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard."
