Not a headline-grabber, perhaps, but this combination of the delightfully puzzling firstwest and secondwest with the naturally harmonious firsteast and secondeast can be a true unsung hero.

Western Zodiac
Scorpio and Gemini
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.

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."
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 (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 (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."

Among the four Trine Families that essentially define Eastern astrology (similar to the elements in Western astrology), there are two pairs of compatible families. One such pair is made up of the Rabbit family (with the Pig and Sheep) and the Tiger family (with the Dog and Horse). The combination of Rabbit and Tiger thus benefits from beautiful surrounding energy.
The Rabbit is known above all for their artistry and gentle nature. While the Tiger tends to be somewhat more abrasive, they are likely to feel great respect for the Rabbit's aspirations and tender-heartedness. The Tiger, of course, is an ambitious leader who prides themselves on the pursuit of justice and equality. The demure Rabbit is likely to admire greatly the Tiger's noble instincts and to believe them complementary to their own aesthetic ideals. In early interactions, this atmosphere of admiration and respect can be conducive to amiable conversation, flirtatiousness, and dependable trust. Over time, the relationship has the potential to go from strength to strength, as the Rabbit and Tiger discover that their compatible outlooks can easily be accommodated together into joint projects or lifestyles.
There is always the possibility that mutual admiration might not always translate into closeness. Indeed, occasional distance may be advisable or necessary. The Rabbit's acute sensitivity means they may sometimes find the Tiger too dictatorial, direct, or wilfull. In the eyes of the Tiger, the Rabbit may seem overly fragile, as lacking determination or too easily knocked off course. Whatever the context, a clear division of labor may be helpful. This can allow each sign to manage their own business in their own way, with the other sign offering advice without interference. Strategies of this nature can fall into place relatively easily, however, such is the natural affinity between these signs.
At the end of the day, whether their connection is a brief interlude or a lifelong commitment, a match between the Rabbit and Tiger has great potential for warmth and wisdom, and may enrich both of their lives profoundly.

Meg White (12/10/1974, Sagittarius Tiger), Jack White (7/9/1975, Cancer Rabbit) : For many years, the two-piece band The White Stripes (1997-2011) presented themselves as brother and sister, until it was discovered that they had been married from 1996 to 2000. Though Jack White was usually regarded as the band's driving force before their break-up, he has emphasized Meg's critical contribution: "I would often look at her onstage and say, 'I can't believe she's up here.' I don't think she understood how important she was to the band, and to me and to music. She was the antithesis of a modern drummer. So childlike and incredible and inspiring. All the not-talking didn't matter, because onstage? Nothing I do will top that."
Caitlin McHugh (5/13/1986, Taurus Tiger), John Stamos (8/19/1963, Leo Rabbit) : The actor and actor/model were engaged in 2017 and married in 2018. After the birth of their son in 2018, Stamos published on Instagram: "From now on, the best part of me will always be my wife and my son. Welcome Billy Stamos (named after my father) #NotJustanUncleAnymore #Overjoyed."
Julio Cortázar (8/26/1914, Virgo Tiger), Gabriel García Márquez (3/6/1927, Pisces Rabbit) : The Colombian and Argentinian (nationalized French) novelists were close friends. Years after Cortázar's death in 1984, Márquez described: "I preferred to go on thinking of him as he undoubtedly would have wanted, with immense rejoicing that he had existed, with deep joy at having known him, and gratitude for his having left the world a body of work that may be incomplete but is as beautiful and indestructible as his memory."
Robert Graham (8/19/1938, Leo Tiger), Anjelica Huston (7/8/1951, Cancer Rabbit) : The actor and sculptor were married from 1992 until Graham's death in 2008. Huston has described: "[N]othing is perfect, particularly when you’ve had a life like mine and the imperfections are as interesting as the perfections, if not more so. It wasn’t that Bob wasn’t perfect, because he was close to perfect, but he was an artist. One of the things that I really liked about Bob was I thought, Well, if I croak tomorrow, it certainly wouldn’t be the end of his life. There was a lot that Bob had that did not depend on me. He was off on his own plane in a way. I could look at something that Bob made and go, 'How the [expletive] did he do that?'"
Victoria Beckham (4/17/1974, Aries Tiger), David Beckham (5/2/1975, Taurus Rabbit) : The footballer/businessman and singer/fashion designer married in 1999 and have four children together. As former members of Manchester United/England and The Spice Girls, and now fashion icons, they have one of the most famous relationships in the world. David Beckham has described: "We’re a strong family unit. We’ve got strong parents. We were brought up with the right values. Of course you make mistakes over the years, and we all know marriage is difficult at times. It’s about working through it. We know each other better than anybody. People have talked about, 'Do we stay together because it’s a brand?' Of course not. We stay together because we love each other, because we have four amazing children."
