Gemini and Aquarius

They met arguing about something on the internet, or at a talk only eleven people attended. Three years later they’re still arguing about it, and they couldn’t be happier.

Being weird together

Gemini loves anything new, and Aquarius has opinions on how the future should work. Their minds fit in a way that’s very pleasing to both of them. They can spend a whole Sunday following one thought through ten websites. Neither has to dim down their odd interests, and neither one needs constant reassurance about how the relationship’s going.

They’re also good at letting each other be. Separate friends, odd hours and an unusual arrangement at home are all fine with them. Each trusts that the other will come back, since they’re the most interesting person around.

A shortage of feeling

The two can intellectualize anything. One gets upset, and within a few minutes the two of them are discussing attachment in general, as a topic, with interesting examples. They’ll both feel like they’ve handled it. Neither has touched it. When something truly painful comes along, such as a death or an illness, or a fear neither wants to admit, this couple can find themselves oddly stuck for words, for the first time in their lives.

They differ in one useful way, too. Gemini changes their mind easily and Aquarius, a fixed sign, really doesn’t. Gemini tends to think an opinion is a game, and may keep poking long after Aquarius has quietly stopped enjoying it. That stubborn streak can come as a surprise, after years of open-minded talk.

Bringing the body along

Hold hands. Really. Physical affection can get forgotten by these two, and it’s a much better way to say certain things. Try finishing “I feel” with one word, without any explanation attached. If one of you is in pain, the most useful question from the other is “do you want ideas, or do you want me here?”

Friendship is a strong foundation, and people with this match often keep it. Whether romance stays alive depends on Venus and Mars, more than on Suns. See Venus trine Mars for one common version of that spark.
