Geminis tend to be ruled by the mind, and will usually make decisions on a rational basis rather than by gut instinct. Sometimes they would be better off if they let their heart have more of a say in relationships!
Geminis can find it difficult to commit to just one partner or major relationship, and are likely to have a group of close friends rather than one best friend.
The sarcastic Gemini nature may cause trouble for their loved ones – they can be quite sharp-tongued, if also very funny, and sometimes they need to do more to keep their wit in check.
Geminis should realise that sometimes they do need to make choices and that losing a little independence may do them good in the long run. However, they need partners that do not stifle them, and that can support the lofty Gemini ambitions.
Cynicism about love is one of the barriers to Geminis forming lasting relationships. Sometimes they need to go with their instincts and believe in the power of love, rather than always dismissing happy endings as something that happen only in fairly tales.
Geminis with Air Signs
Gemini is an air sign itself, of course. These signs tend to be driven by the intellect. They need a lot of independence, and love to demonstrate their verbal dexterity. Some of the best matches a Gemini will be able to find are with fellow air signs.
A Gemini-Libra match will be a very social partnership, with both parties keen on entertaining and going out. Their quick wit will delight and amuse their friends, and they will be popular hosts. They will be affectionate and warm, but never overly syrupy.
Gemini also make very good matches with those born under the sign of Aquarius. Both signs are adventurers and interested in wider humanity. As a couple, they will be drawn to taking part in protest movements, and are likely to go on very adventurous holidays. Intellectual rather than physical compatibility underpins this relationship, but both will enjoy experimenting in bed.
A Gemini-Gemini match can also work, but both partners will need to make sure that their natural cynicism and sarcasm does not lead to arguments, and their tendency to be aloof does not stifle the relationship before it can really get going.
Gemini with Water Signs
Gemini tends not to get on very well with water signs, which are Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio. They are ruled by emotional impulses rather than making rational decisions, which can become very frustrating – the Water Signs will not understand why Gemini pays so little attention to their emotional state, while the Gemini will fail to see why their partner is so in thrall to their seemingly pointless and tiresome fits and fancies.
Cancer tends to be a very nurturing sign, but this can feel stifling to the independent minded Gemini. Cancer may also get a bit fed up with Gemini going off on their own all the time!
Pisces and Gemini is a difficult match. Gemini will be fascinated by the creative ability of their Pisces partner. However, Gemini will also not understand the Pisces need to immerse themselves into the lives of others.
Scorpio is possibly the best of all the air signs to form a relationship with Gemini. Scorpio is more analytical than the other water signs, and their magnetic personality will be alluring to Geminis. However, the Gemini love of independence and the need for several close friends may spark Scorpio jealousy – in which case, watch out for the fireworks!
Gemini with Fire Signs
Geminis tend to get on very well with Fire signs, which include Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Fire signs have lots of energy, which Gemini needs in a partner in order not to get bored.
Leo and Gemini make very good partners. Leo will provide direction and stability for Gemini, and encourage them to use their talents to their fullest potential. The Gemini wit will make sure that Leo never gets too full of themselves. The Leo love of extravagance and the Gemini love of adventure will mean that they hold excellent parties.
Gemini also get on very well with Aries. Like Gemini, Aries can sometimes be quite blunt and outspoken, so the two are a very good match for each other in this regard – although the Gemini in the relationship may find them in the unaccustomed position of having to reign in Aries when they are in danger of offending friends and family members.
Sagittarius is possibly the best match of the air signs for Gemini, but the two signs will still get on very well. Sagittarians value their independence too, but apart from this both signs have very different ways to view the world. Communication is the key to the success of this match.
Gemini with Earth Signs
Earth signs, like Virgo, Taurus and Leo, traditionally do not have the best of relationships with Gemini. Earth signs tend to be very slow and deliberate, and weigh up every possible course of action before making a decision. Although they are similarly committed to logic, Geminis move a lot faster, will regard the pace of the earth signs as extremely tiresome and boring, while Earth signs will regard Gemini as being unfathomable and flighty.
Virgos are generally considered one of the worst matches for a Gemini. It can work, but Virgo will greatly need to rein in their tendency to pick holes. They often have a point with their criticism, but Geminis will have a very low threshold for this and the Virgo will quickly find themselves dealing with the sharp end of the Gemini wit. This will be a fiery partnership, full of argument.
With Capricorns and Taurus, Geminis may soon find themselves wishing for a more extrovert and entertaining partner. However, the Earth signs can give Gemini direction and encourage them to develop more staying power.
If a Gemini is to have a successful partnership with an Earth sign, then both sides are going to have to learn to hold their tongues and try not to get too bogged down in previous rights or wrongs.
