Ways Gemini & Scorpio Work Well Together

Scorpio and Gemini will find each other totally fascinating. These two are like night and day to each other; and at the same time, they both find people inherently fascinating. They’ll both love being friends with someone who operates in such a different way, and even when their differences pose challenges, they’ll still love the excitement in their friendship.
- To build on your friendship, ask each other questions about how the other thinks and feels: “Are you more likely to get sad or angry when someone hurts you?”
- Ask each other about their reactions to songs, books, and movies. You’ll both love to hear about how different your friend’s opinions are.
- Do your best to appreciate each other for what makes you different; when they act in an unexpected way, take a second to enjoy the surprise!

These clever signs will challenge each other intellectually. Gemini and Scorpio are two of the sharpest signs in the Zodiac, so naturally, they’ll have incredible conversation. Debates, discussions, and deep-dives are sure to be a hallmark in this friendship. They’ll both absolutely love finally meeting another friend who can keep up with their quick wit.
- Try asking your pal a stimulating, open-ended question to bond: “Do you think life on other planets exists? Why or why not?”
- If your pal has a strong opinion, push them on it. They’ll love the challenge: “I actually disagree. I think the book’s theme was more straightforward…”
- You two will be especially interested in the subject of psychology. Try sharing books and TedTalks on the topic, then discuss them after.

Points of Conflict between Gemini and Scorpio

1
At times, Scorpio’s possessiveness might spook Gemini. Because they're ruled by Mars, Scorpio wants relationships to be super deep and intense. So, they won’t love it if Gemini doesn’t seem as invested as they are. This can occasionally make Scorpio come off as a little obsessive, and Gemini (who can’t stand to have their freedoms limited!) might struggle with this.^{[3]

- Scorpio, remember that when Gemini spends time with other people, that doesn’t take away from their friendship with you. Take a deep breath and cut them some slack!
- Gemini, try to carve out some time in that busy schedule just for Scorpio—this will make your pal feel special and appreciated.
2
Gemini’s flighty nature might frustrate Scorpio. Gemini loves following every whim, and they hate to feel suffocated. Because of this, Gemini’s known to cancel plans last minute and jump to new, exciting adventures. As a fixed sign, Scorpio is serious and organized, so they might find this super annoying.^{[4]

- Gemini, if you care about Scorpio, respect your time together. If you’re desperate to do something new, at the very least invite them along, too.
- Scorpio, respect that Gemini’s flakiness is part of what makes them exciting. You can’t stand boring people, so in a way, isn’t this a blessing?
3
Scorpio will want to discuss feelings, but Gemini is all about facts. Though these two are curious and bright, they don’t always love pouring over the exact same topics. Scorpio will want to know Geminis deepest feelings, but Gemini hates emotional talks. Scorpio might get bored by the history of the Roman empire, but Gemini is all ears.
- Scorpio, respect Gemini's boundaries. They’ll open up to you in time, but if they’re unwilling to dive into deep stuff straight away, that’s okay.
- Gemini, because you're ruled by Mercury, everything interests you. So why not stick to topics that Scorpio loves, like music and psychology?
