Gemini and Pisces

Compatibility overview

Competitive unorthodoxy! The combination of firstwest with secondwest attracts some intensely powerful energy. There are certainly some negative aspects, as this can be a duelling, testing match, with potential for conflict ranging from the mundane to the deathly serious. Nevertheless, there is also scope for both parties to experience vital personal growth, with positive impacts lasting long into the future.

Square combinations in the Western zodiac—where signs are three steps apart around the zodiac wheel—form a powerful major aspect. This energy tends to make its presence felt almost immediately, often in ways that are uncomfortable, or at least discombobulating. When Pisces and Gemini encounter one another, don't be surprised if differences of opinion surface quickly.

The elements here—Air for Gemini, Water for Pisces—are not usually regarded as very compatible. But it is the contrasting influences of their shared Mutable modality that are probably most directly to blame for clashes between them. Mutable energy has a transitory quality, a sense of moving on that involves interrogating and challenging orthodox patterns of behaviour. Where for Gemini, this can manifest as a keen interest in how diverse ideas are communicated and used to frame individual identity, Pisces is much more drawn to abstract concepts of oneness with the universe, which for them tend to transcend individual concerns. Consequently it may be hard from the get-go for these two to find middle ground. Even seemingly unimportant ideas may come across to the other as quite fundamentally challenging.

Fortunately, however, there are some valuable saving graces to this apparently troublesome Square connection. For one thing, the adage about opposites attracting applies here in spades. Disagreements may be common and sometimes intense, but they can also be flirtatious and funny—both Gemini and Pisces tend to have excellent senses of humour, after all.

More importantly, because contestation between these signs usually relates to matters at the core of their being, the potential for learning and growth is prodigious. As the famous quote from The Third Man goes, "[T]hirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance." Pisces and Gemini may battle like the best of them, but the consequent sharpening of their skills and self-knowledge may produce some truly wonderful results.

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis

Dean Martin (6/7/1917, Gemini Snake), Jerry Lewis (3/16/1926, Pisces Tiger) : As "Martin and Lewis", actor/singer Martin and actor/comedian Lewis formed one of the most popular US comedy duos of all time, making 16 films between 1946 and 1956. They were famously estranged for 20 years after their break-up, but reconciled later in life. Describing the comic-mayhem-versus-straight-man motif at the heart of their act, Lewis wrote in the autobiographical, Dean and Me: A Love Story (2005), "One time I’d gone so far that Dean and I found ourselves literally standing nose to nose, with maybe an eighth of an inch of air between us. And he said, with genuine anger in his voice, ‘I have finally come to the point in our relationship where I am going to have to tell you, if you do that again, it’s over. Do you understand that? O-V-U-R!’ I planted my mouth on his, gave him a big kiss, and said, ‘I understand perfectly.’ Now, I have to tell you, the first time I ever did that, Dean had absolutely no idea it was coming!...The act might have looked like chaos, but we could always get back to where we needed to get on a moment’s notice...Either Dean and I, together, would save us, or Dean would save me, or I would save him. It was a brilliant concept."

Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster), Danny Aiello (6/20/1933, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and director/actor famously collaborated on Lee's acclaimed film, Do the Right Thing (1989). Speaking at Aiello's memorial service in 2019, Lee said: "I am honored to be here. Danny and I have been connected forever. Danny was kind of reluctant [to be involved in Do the Right Thing]. You know, we had different backgrounds … he was Catholic, he was raised in Manhattan. I’m Brooklyn. He was reluctant, so I took him to a Knick game. Then I took him to Yankees stadium the house that Ruth built...He said, ‘I’ll do your film.’ ...[Over the next 30 years] [w]e recognized our differences, political or whatever else you want to talk about it but we truly loved each other...I’m just blessed to have known Danny and the great Aiello family."

Camila Cabello and Normani

Normani (5/31/1996, Gemini Rat), Camila Cabello (3/3/1997, Pisces Ox) : As two members of the group, Fifth Harmony, singers Normani and Cabello shared a close and collaborative friendship from 2012 to 2016. At one time, Normani posted to Cabello: "I love you to pieces & I'm so grateful to have gained a sister like you. I've learned so much about life in general and about myself through things that you have taught me. You've taught me to look at certain things or situations from a different perspective. I haven't always been confident in myself and would always over analyze things that I would do or say but you told me anytime I feel that way just say 'WHAT EVERRRRR' lol as simple as that is it works ! ... i love you always even when we argue over stupid things like who took longer in the shower lol yo mama and papa did a heck of a great job with ya 👏 I LOVE YOUUUUUU CUHHHHHHHH😘🎈🍟💃🎀🎂." In 2020, after racist social media posts by Cabello emerged from years earlier, Normani said, "It was devastating that this came from a place that was supposed to be a safe haven and a sisterhood...It took days for [Cabello] to acknowledge what I was dealing with online and then years for her to take responsibility for the offensive tweets that recently resurfaced. Whether or not it was her intention, this made me feel like I was second to the relationship that she had with her fans. I really hope that an important lesson was learned in this."

Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson (6/5/1947, Gemini Pig), Lou Reed (3/2/1942, Pisces Horse) : Musician Reed and artist/musician/film-maker Anderson were partners for 21 years, and married in 2008. Anderson described in 2013: "Lou and I played music together, became best friends and then soul mates, traveled, listened to and criticized each other’s work, studied things together (butterfly hunting, meditation, kayaking). We made up ridiculous jokes; stopped smoking 20 times; fought; learned to hold our breath underwater; went to Africa; sang opera in elevators; made friends with unlikely people; followed each other on tour when we could; got a sweet piano-playing dog; shared a house that was separate from our own places; protected and loved each other...Like many couples, we each constructed ways to be – strategies, and sometimes compromises, that would enable us to be part of a pair. Sometimes we lost a bit more than we were able to give, or gave up way too much, or felt abandoned. Sometimes we got really angry. But even when I was mad, I was never bored. We learned to forgive each other. And somehow, for 21 years, we tangled our minds and hearts together."

Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood (3/10/1983, Pisces Pig), Mike Fisher (6/5/1980, Gemini Monkey) : Singer Underwood and former professional NHL hockey player Fisher have been married since 2010. They have two children. Speaking on the first episode of the couple's digital series, Mike + Carrie: God & Country (2020-2021), Fisher described, "We learn from each other and have spirited discussions about things that we disagree on, but at the end of the day, we love each other very much." On another episode, he said, "We're not perfect. We don't have a perfect marriage. But we have that one thing in our faith. ... It's a center ground that’s the most important thing around everything."

Pig and Horse

Compatibility overview

The match between the firsteast and secondeast may not traditionally have a blockbuster reputation, but in fact this can be a very promising combination. There are strong affinities between these two signs, and some lovely favourable energy surrounds them.

The four Trine Families that underlie Chinese astrology—like the elements in Western astrology—are composed of two compatible pairs. One such pair comprises the family of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) and that of the Pig (with the Rabbit and Sheep). These two families together include some of the most precious combinations in the whole Chinese zodiac, and while the pairing of Horse and Pig is not always singled out for special attention, the surrounding good fortune creates some seriously favourable conditions for success.

The Horse is famously free-spirited and driven to make their mark, but they tend to have strongly altruistic impulses and detest compromise. Hence they are likely to find much to admire in the usually selfless, generous Pig, and can find themselves fitting comfortably into a rewarding, often protective, role in the relationship. The Pig, for their part, tends to be at their best when they can relax, knowing that their trusting nature will not be taken advantage of. The strength and upstanding qualities of the Horse can therefore provide the Pig with an invaluable sense security, helping them to avoid profligacy and channel their usually prodigious talents into nourishing opportunities.

There is a certain separateness about this energy, which at times may be more conducive to mutual respect and camaraderie than dying-in-a-ditch-together closeness. The Pig tends to be a kindly and homely spirit by nature, and they may find the intensity of the Horse blows their hair back a bit more than they can assuredly handle. The Horse has a dyed-in-the-wool need for independence that can make others feel at a distance—they may sometimes have a sense that the Pig needs more from them than they are willing to provide. Such challenges, however, may prove easy to manage in the right circumstances.

The bottom line is that the desirable characteristics of these two signs are potentially very harmonious, and with strategies in place to manage any passing feelings of neglect or excess, these two can achieve great things in a wide variety of contexts.

Greg Wise and Emma Thompson

Greg Wise (5/15/1966, Taurus Horse), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The two actors have been in a relationship since 1995, and married in 2003. They have two children (one adopted). Thompson has described: "I think people in long, happy marriages tell a lot of fibs like ‘Yes, it’s been marvelous!’, whereas I say ‘No, sometimes it’s been awful’. I hope it carries on, but we don’t know. We say ‘Well, this is nice, isn’t it?’ We don’t take anything for granted."

Elissa Durwood Grodin (18 April 1954, Aries Horse), Charles Grodin (4/21/1935, Taurus Pig) : The actor/comedian/author and writer/journalist were married from 1983 until Grodin's death in 2021, and had two children. They met for the first time when Durwood interviewed Grodin in 1982, and at the end he famously proposed. Durwood described later: "[Grodin's] a help in every way. Above all, he's a good man. I have a happy life with him. He's been very helpful with career stuff. Supportive and full of goodness...You know what? I was expecting [him to propose]. I know it sounds weird, but there you go. We were star-crossed. We really hit it off. It was a deep connection...I just said yes. And a year later we were married. It's been fabulous. We've been married for thirty years."

Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David

Jerry Seinfeld (4/29/1954, Taurus Horse), Larry David (7/2/1947, Cancer Pig) : The two comedian/actor/writers famously co-created and collaborated for seven seasons on the hugely successful TV show, Seinfeld (1989-1998). According to the book by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, Seinfeldia (2017), Seinfeld approached David for help while developing the show in 1988. In an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000- ), which consists of largely improvised dialogue, Seinfeld said to David, "How many years did we work together? We would get so tired, we spent so many hours together. We would divulge the most intimate details of our personal lives, right? [David: Right.] Like twins in a womb, right? That's how we did this show. [David: Right.]"

Samuel Beckett (4/13/1906, Aries Horse), Suzanne Dechevaux-Dumesnil (1/7/1900, Capricorn Pig) : The celebrated writer and pianist began an affair in the 1930s and married in 1961. They were died within months of each other in 1989, and are buried together in Paris. Professor of Drama at Trinity College Dublin, Nicholas Johnson, has described: "[Dechevaux-Dumesnil] is very under-represented in the scholarship about Beckett. Her impact on the work is absolutely enormous. Just in practical terms, it was Suzanne who goes to the publishers with his novels when they come back to Paris, so she acts like an agent really at a time when he doesn't seem capable of self-promotion. So I think she was probably quite forceful and functional in ways."

Missy Elliott and Aaliyah

Aaliyah (1/16/1979, Capricorn Horse), Missy Elliott (7/1/1971, Cancer Pig) : The two singers were close friends and collaborators, with Elliott contributing more than half of the songs on Aaliyah's album, One in a Million (1996). Writing after Aaliyah's tragic death in a plane crash in 2001, Elliott described: "[It was like [Aaliyah] was my little sister. We would hang out, go shopping together, or she would come to my house or we’d hang out in the studio. Our relationship went beyond the work we did together. We felt we had created a new sound, but it wasn’t like we just did records and that was it. It was more of a family vibe than just work. We could tell each other anything."

Zoe Saldana (6/19/1978, Gemini Horse), Mila Kunis (8/14/1983, Leo Pig) : The two actors share a strong friendship, and have collaborated in the films, Get Over It (2001), After Sex (2007), and Blood Ties (2013). Speaking in 2018, at the ceremony for Soldana receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Kunis described: "When [Soldana] loves, she is all in. She’s all-in for her family, her friends and all-in for her work. I admire you as a person, a wife, a mother, a sister, a businesswoman and as an actress. While the world knows you for the characters you have played, I have the privilege of knowing the working mom behind the scenes...She is loud. Like, no joke, her superpower is volume. Walk into Zoe’s house and they are screaming, in English, in Spanish, in Italian. It is the loudest love you’ll ever receive in your life. The loudest love I’ve ever heard."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

As a Square combination, firstwest and secondwest are almost inevitably destined to pivot from disagreement to disagreement. Yet their confrontations have incredible potential to crystallize their respective senses of direction and self-knowledge. In this relationship, the productive potential of the signs’ Square energy is enhanced by the natural affinity between the firsteast and secondeast, which may tend more towards comfortable friendliness than burning passion, but can often be as trustworthy as any match in the Chinese zodiac. There may be disputes aplenty, but these two are more than capable of providing each other with lasting support and pleasure.
