Are Gemini and Scorpio a good match?

Tradition calls it an awkward match rather than a bad one. What it runs on is fascination, and it lasts when curiosity outlives the confusion.

I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.

What draws you together

There is an intense curiosity between you. Scorpio is a mystery Gemini cannot stop trying to solve, and Gemini is a lightness Scorpio cannot quite believe it wants. Conversations here go late.

The hard part

Scorpio wants depth, and Gemini wants range. Gemini's casual charm with others can look like betrayal to Scorpio, and Scorpio's probing can feel like an interrogation.

How your signs sit on the wheel

You sit five signs apart, a one-hundred-fifty-degree angle astrologers call a quincunx. You share no element and no way of moving, and you cannot see each other straight across the wheel either. Each of you keeps adjusting to a person you do not quite have the language for.

Air and water meet as thought and feeling. One of you wants to talk it through and the other wants it felt first, and that gap is where most of your arguments live.

One of you holds and the other flows. Each is a rest for the other, and each can quietly wear the other out.

What each of you is really asking

Gemini is asking: Will you stay interested when I change my mind? Gemini brings quickness and fears being pinned down and finished.

Scorpio is asking: Can you bear all of it, and stay? Scorpio brings depth and fears being betrayed after handing over the keys.

The desire under the question

Scorpio wants all of you, and Gemini is not sure there is one of you to give. Both of you are afraid of what you would find if you got what you asked for.
