Gemini and Pisces

Both of these signs can change their minds halfway through a sentence. One does it because of a new fact, and the other because of a new feeling. Getting to dinner may take some time.

Two kinds of imagination

Both signs are mutable, which means they adapt, and this is a gentle, flexible match in many ways. Gemini loves words, and Pisces loves images and moods, so together they can make up whole worlds. They might write songs together, or invent histories for strangers on the train. Gemini can help a Pisces say what they’ve been feeling, and sometimes that’s a big relief. Pisces can teach a Gemini that something can be true without having a good argument for it.

There’s kindness here as well. Neither one holds on to anger for long, and both tend to be easy to be around.

Clear enough to act on

Their trouble is usually about what’s real. Gemini gives a breezy answer that wasn’t a commitment. Pisces gives a soft answer that wasn’t quite a yes. Each thinks they’ve understood, and nobody writes anything down. Three weeks later they’re both honestly hurt, each with a very different memory of the same conversation.

Their sensitivities are mismatched too. Gemini’s humor can have an edge, and a joke that felt affectionate might stay with a Pisces for days. A Pisces who wants to be held may find Gemini offering suggestions. And when things get hard, Gemini tends to talk and Pisces tends to fade away, leaving a talker with nobody in the room to talk to.

Something to hold on to

Write down what you agree, for practical matters at least. A shared calendar goes a long way with this couple. Gemini can check before teasing about anything tender, and learn to stop talking and be physically close when Pisces is low. Pisces can say “that hurt” within a day or so, and they can say an actual no, because a Gemini can’t respond to something they weren’t told.

Squares between mutable signs tend to be workable, with some patience. If you want to see how the head and heart side of this plays out, compare where your Mercury signs fall, and read about your Moon signs too.
