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."

Simply a wonderful match!

The central concept underlying Chinese astrology is that of the four Trine Families. One of these families consists of the Rooster and Snake (along with their most trusted friend, the Ox). Binding these signs together is a spirit of social affairs and commerce—an intuition for reading the tea leaves when it comes to any kind of enterprise or business, and a determination to follow through once opportunities are identified. The Rooster and Snake are likely to catch each other's attention at once.

These are two of the most visually engaging signs in the Chinese zodiac, the Rooster with their fashionista's panache, the Snake with their beguiling, mystical allure. But as soon as they get to talking, they are likely to discover an affinity that goes way deeper than appearances. The Rooster's incomparable flair for understanding social dynamics knits beautifully with the Snake's sixth sense for the philosophical side of human affairs. In no time, these two are likely to be sharing and enhancing each other's insightful commentaries about the state of things, in an atmosphere filled with admiration and enjoyment. Arising out of such interactions, there is a strong prospect of clear and productive direction.

Separately, these two can get overly caught up in themselves—both are prone to conceitedness, after all, and the Rooster's tendency towards self-involvement is matched by the Snake's weakness for somewhat miserly self-indulgence. Together, however, not only will these two usually be able to brush off each other's occasionally difficult traits, but they are likely to powerfully motivate one another to translate their talents into actualization and achievement. Not for nothing is the Rooster celebrated for their extraordinary capacities and resourcefulness, and the Snake too can draw on exceptional powers of commitment and concentration when they free themselves from distraction.

Don't be surprised if these two have each other's backs through thick and thin, nor if their relationship proves an enduring source of brilliant accomplishments and intense enjoyment.

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied

Benjamin Millepied (6/10/1977, Gemini Snake), Natalie Portman (6/9/1981, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and dancer met on the set of the film, Black Swan (2010), for which Portman received an Academy Award. They have been married since 2012 and have two children together. Portman has described: "I met my husband on [the set of Black Swan], so I think I was in, like, dreamland … We had a whole, like, he was teaching me to dance. You know, one of those romantic [stories] … It was definitely exciting and fun. It was beautiful. I don't know about instant. It was like I really got to know him and that was when it seemed like, 'Oh this is the person.'"

Elizabeth Hurley (6/10/1965, Gemini Snake), Shane Warne (9/13/1969, Virgo Rooster) : The actor and cricketer were together in the early 2010s and announced a short-lived engagement in 2011. Warne described later: "I was more in love with Elizabeth than I’d realised I could be. I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her."

Jakob Dylan and Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan (5/24/1941, Gemini Snake), Jakob Dylan (12/9/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two musicians are father and son. Wanting to protect the privacy of his legendary father, who in 2016 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his songwriting, Jakob Dylan said little about their relationship until 2005. Then, Jakob described: "When I was a kid, he was a god to me for all the right reasons. Other people have put that tag on him in some otherworldly sense. I say it as any kid who admired his dad and had a great relationship with him. He never missed a single Little League game I had. He's collected every home-run ball I ever hit. And he's still affectionate to me. Maybe he doesn't want people to know that. But I'll tell you, because it's my interview."

Kevin James (4/26/1965, Taurus Snake), Ray Romano (12/21/1957, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two comedian/actors lived together before they each achieved success, and later continued to guest-star on each other's long-running TV shows, Everybody Loves Raymond (1996-2005), and The King of Queens (1998-2007). In a joint interview, Romano said: "We bonded over getting turned down for every audition we went on." James added: "We tried to play a lot of golf, because we didn't have a lot of work."

Jay-Z and Kanye West

Kanye West (6/8/1977, Gemini Snake), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two rappers are longtime friends who have collaborated on multiple occasions, including the tracks "Otis", "Never Let Me Down", "Izzo (H.O.V.A)", "Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)", "Run This Town", "’03 Bonnie & Clyde", "Clique", "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)", and "Encore". Although the two have faced challenges in their relationship, Jay-Z described: "That’s my brother, we’re beyond friends. Really, like literally, my little brother is Kanye. And like your little brother, things happen sometimes...It’s like that. That’s still your sibling forever. I’ve watched Kanye from without an album. The thing that I respect about him is that he’s the same person. Like, he interrupted our studio session, stood on a table and started rapping. And we were like, ‘Could you please get down,’ and he was like ‘No, I’m the savior of Chicago!’ He didn’t have a record."

Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake), Ice Cube (6/15/1969, Gemini Rooster) : The two founding members of the rap group, NWA, formed a close collaboration and friendship in the 1980s. After a period of disputation after NWA broke up, in 2016 they appeared together on stage for the first time in 27 years. Cube described: "We just went forward. We're gonna always be like that. I don't care if we don't talk to each other for 10 years, when we see each other, it's gonna be like yesterday."

Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Ellen DeGeneres (1/26/1958, Aquarius Rooster) : The two talk show hosts are close friends, who are also neighbours in Montecito, California. In a 2021 interview, Winfrey told Degeneres: "[Y]ou have shared yourself, the expression of your talent, in a way that has made people feel so much better about themselves all these years, that is what you’ve done, Ellen. It’s so much more than the show...Every single person in your audience who has been touched by you, by your laughter, by your jokes, by your kindness, by your sharing, by your being, that’s your legacy." Degeneres replied: "I love you so much, Oprah. I am, as I say all the time, I am so honored to call you a friend. You are the wisest person I know and I just adore you."
