Gemini and Scorpio

Compatibility overview

The mysterious combination of firstwest and secondwest has sometimes been looked at doubtfully by Western astrologers. Conventional thinking was that these signs are so different, so seemingly disconnected, that they have almost nothing in common. In fact, however, these contrasting personalities can combine to achieve astonishing creativity and an intimate, lasting bond.

Western zodiac signs that are five steps apart, like Gemini and Scorpio, form a Quincunx (or inconjunct) aspect. Right from the start, this so-called minor influence—one of only two, with the Semi-sextile—gives this relationship a somewhat shapeless character, one that can be liberating, confusing, or both.

To be sure, there are some striking differences here. Gemini is an Air sign, a freedom-loving traveler, with a keen intellectual interest in just about anything and everything. Water sign Scorpio, by contrast, is a powerful, often brooding soul, known for their deep emotions and undeniable force of will. Air and water are generally more conflictive than harmonious. Hence Gemini's instincts can often seem flighty and distracting to the serious-minded Scorpio, while Scorpio's intensity can try Gemini's patience, and make them feel closed-in or exhausted. These signs are both known for their tempers when roused, too, so differences of opinion could produce some spectacular fireworks!

The beguiling energy of the Quincunx, however, means the differences here are often experienced with enjoyment, even fascination. Sexual chemistry is likely. The atmosphere of mutual puzzlement may be more likely to produce humor or banter than crossness or aggression. The secret weapon of this relationship, indeed, is the two signs' deeply compatible modalities.

Scorpio have their Fixed nature to thank for their determination and impact, while Gemini's more reflective Mutable personality means they are ever alert to consequences, implications, and effects. Thus, provided their differences are sensitively managed—independence and kindness will probably be essential—teamwork between these two can be startlingly effective. Creativity may prove especially fulfilling and effective, but any shared endeavor that harnesses their differences into common goals will be marked for success. Problems and resentments should be dealt with quickly, as Quincunx energy is known to become restless if not tended to regularly.

With good communication these surprising allies may find their relationship a wonderful source of warmth and achievement.

Dylan McDermott and Eve Ensler

Eve Ensler (5/25/1953, Gemini Snake), Dylan McDermott (10/26/1961, Scorpio Ox) : The actor and playwright forged a powerfully supportive bond when Ensler adopted McDermott during her marriage to his father, Richard McDermott. Dylan McDermott described in 2014, "My theory is that all you need is one person to believe in you, and you can do anything ... [Ensler] saw something in me that I never saw in myself and she said, 'you're an actor,' when I was 15 years old." Dylan, whose birth name is Mark, changed his name after Ensler suffered a miscarriage; he explained, "I changed my name to the baby's name they had chosen out of my love for her." Ensler said in 1999, "I always wanted [Dylan] to know he had a mother...Loving Dylan was central to me learning how to be a loving human being."

Alanis Morissette (6/1/1974, Gemini Tiger), Ryan Reynolds (10/23/1976, Scorpio Dragon) : The actor and singer started dating in 2002, and were engaged from 2004 to 2007. During the relationship, Morrisette described, "We have the perfect combination of compatibility and incompatibility that makes the relationship very passionate. It’s perfect. I think it’s about stretching each other," and that, "[Reynolds is] just such a supportive creature. I feel so loved by him, in a trampoline kind of way. He’s always very happy for me." After their break-up, she said: "I’ve been on a constant journey toward finally surrendering and hitting the rock bottom that I’ve been avoiding my whole life. So this was a huge, critical juncture for me. Everything broke, and it was an amazing and horrifying time."

SZA and Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar (6/17/1987, Gemini Rabbit), SZA (11/8/1989, Scorpio Snake) : The rapper and singer/songwriter share a supportive friendship, and have collaborated multiple times, including on the tracks, "Babylon" (2014), "untitled 04 | 08.14.2014." (2014), "Doves In The Wind" (2017), and "All The Stars" (2018)—the last being nominated for an Academy Award in 2019. In 2014, Lamar described: "SZA’s got the skill, confidence, hunger and courage to revive a sound that’s been lost. Her substance and abstract concepts have the ability to make a lifetime connection that hasn’t been around since Erykah Badu’s Baduizm or Jay Z’s In My Lifetime. A true artist at heart, one hunnit." When Lamar was criticized for lyrics including, "Show me something natural like a— with some stretch marks," SZA responded: "How is that misogyny if he’s supporting positive body image? I think that’s so weird, and it’s reaching. If you want to support women, you should support all shapes of women. I used to be 200 pounds, and I have stretch marks all over my body. I find more comfort and solace with Kendrick reinforcing that I'm beautiful. I don’t really feel anything misogynistic from that."

Frank Drake and Carl Sagan

Frank Drake (5/28/1930, Gemini Horse), Carl Sagan (11/9/1934, Scorpio Dog) : The two astrophysicists were both professors at Cornell University. As Drake described in his book, Is Anyone Out There? (1992), "[E]vents conspir[ed] to bring us together as lifelong colleagues." Among their many collaborations, they worked together on the so-called, "Pioneer plaque", a metal plaque sent into space in 1972/1973, which was intended to notify possible extraterrestrial beings about humankind. Drake described: "Carl asked me to work with him on the message. The next session of the astronomical meeting was almost ready to begin. Participants bustled past us with empty cups and saucers...The ‘Yes, of course’ wasn’t even out of my mouth before the two of us started firing ideas at each other about what we would include…We could even make line drawings of human figures—and we immediately agreed to do so. In the next moment, we hit on the idea of a galactic map that would pinpoint the location of the Earth in space."

Jill Biden and Joe Biden

Jill Biden (6/3/1951, Gemini Rabbit), Joe Biden (11/20/1942, Scorpio Horse) : The U.S. President and First Lady married in 1977. They met after Joe Biden's first wife and their daughter were killed in an automobile accident, and faced tragedy again when Joe Biden's son from his first marriage, Beau, died of brain cancer in 2015. In a joint interview during his presidency, Joe Biden said in 2021: "[Jill] has a backbone like a ramrod. Everybody says marriage is 50/50. Well, sometimes you have to be 70/30. Thank God that when I'm really down, she steps in, and when she's really down, I'm able to step in." Jill said, "All that we've been through together — the highs, the lows and certainly tragedy and loss — there's that quote that says sometimes you become stronger in the fractured places. That's what we try to achieve."

The Rabbit and Pig is one of the most special matches in the entire Chinese zodiac. At its core, Chinese astrology is based on four Trine Families, like the elements in the Western zodiac. The family that includes the Pig and Rabbit—along with their close ally, the Sheep—is the gentlest, most peaceable of the four.

Chances are, these two will sense a delicious calmness fall over them as soon as they meet. The Rabbit's idealistic, artistic temperament tends to feel immediately encouraged and supported by the abundantly generous Pig. The Pig is likely to sense from the beginning that the Rabbit's motives are pure and kind, and that the Pig's trusting nature will never be taken advantage of.

This combination naturally emphasises aesthetics, goodness and compassion—everything that is beautiful in the world. Hence as a duo they will be motivated towards conflict resolution, creative expression, and sensual experience. The vices that can arise for these two souls in other contexts—self-sabotage or irritability for the Pig; fearfulness or isolation for the Rabbit—are mercifully rare or absent when they are together. Instead, this relationship is deeply protective and nurturing.

While the Pig/Rabbit combination is known to contribute a sense of harmony to many families, it is equally true that these two can contribute their magical, family-like energy to any setting where they are welcome and comfortable.

Zach Braff (4/6/1975, Aries Rabbit), Florence Pugh (1/3/1996, Capricorn Pig) : The actor and actor/director dated and lived together during 2019 to 2022, after they met working together on the short film directed by Braff, It Takes Time to Get There. The two traded affectionate birthday messages, with Pugh writing in April 2021: "It's this magical person[']s birthday...His need to make people laugh and smile is never ending, his constant generosity and love for others is infectious, his creativity and ability to put real and honest words onto the page inspires many and all who's around him." Braff wrote in January 2022, "Happy birthday to this beautiful human being. I am so lucky to know you. And the world is so lucky they get to witness your incredible talent."

Tomlin has described, "[Wagner] expresses how I feel, which I have no ability to do.

Linda Cardellini (6/25/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Christina Applegate (11/25/1971, Sagittarius Pig) : The two actors starred together in the show Dead to Me and became close friends. Cardellini has said: "The trust that we have with each other in life, and on screen, which just happened magically, kind of instantly for us, I’m so grateful for. It’s a gift in my real life and it’s a gift in my professional life. I love when we’re on set together. I couldn’t even hope for a better partner."

Drew Barrymore (2/22/1975, Pisces Rabbit), Tom Green (7/30/1971, Leo Pig) : The actor/media personality and actor/comedian/film-maker were married from 2001-2002, after meeting on the set of Charlie's Angels (2000). In 2021, they reconnected on The Drew Barrymore Show (2020-present), with Barrymore explaining, "We have not seen each other face-to-face, actually, in almost 20 years." Green said on the show, "It's very nice to see you. It does feel weird, though. Not weird in a bad way — weird in a good way. Appreciate it, Drew, so thanks for having me on the show. It's awesome. This is cool. I actually think this is a nice way of reconnecting, actually. It takes a little bit of the pressure off."

Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson

Michael Jordan (2/17/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), Magic Johnson (8/14/1959, Leo Pig) : The two basketball legends developed a supportive friendship when they represented the US as part of the 1992, "Dream Team". Johnson described: "Man, I had some of my fondest memories just hanging out with Michael. We played cards every night against each other. And if I had the upper hand, he wanted to play another hour. [And] another hour. And then he never wants to just beat you. He wants to put his foot on your neck and just...[makes growling sound]. You’re not satisfied with beating me? You want to crush me too? Yup."

Conan O'Brien (4/18/1963, Aries Rabbit), David Letterman (4/12/1947, Aries Pig) : The two late night hosts developed a supportive friendship over many years. In 1994, Letterman famously returned to NBC as O'Brien's guest—after being rejected by the network himself—which gave O'Brien's show a memorable and much-needed boost. Said Letterman on the show, "You guys do an incredible amount of comedy and stuff that is produced that is very high level. The volume and the quality of the stuff just knocks me out. I think you’ve really done a great job to carve out a wonderful identity for yourselves… I think you did a nice job."
