The Gemini/Scorpio combination brings together two people who are so different from one another that it is hard to imagine how they could create a workable relationship together. Yet this can sometimes be a surprisingly good combination, if certain conditions are met. As an air sign, Gemini is cool and detached. The Gemini woman thinks before she feels. Scorpio, a water sign, experiences life through profoundly felt emotions. Yet there is a side of the Scorpio with which the Gemini woman can more easily relate. Fed by the same intensity as her volcanic emotions, the Scorpio woman's mind is powerful and incisive. Scorpio is driven by the urge to strip things to their essence, both emotionally and mentally. Scorpio's intellect, then, is a penetrating one. It has a billiance and power that are fascinating to the Gemini woman. And the powerful intellect of Scorpio admires Gemini's brilliant mind.
These two women work well together in any enterprise demanding strong mental skills. Gemini's tendency to gloss over the surface of many subjects will be modified by her Scorpio partner's tendency to delve deeply into any subject. And Scorpio's tendency to become obsessional about things that are important to her will be modified by the Gemini woman's flexibility and lighter touch. Since Gemini is a dualistic sign, there is often cleavage between her conscious and subconscious sides. The relationship with a Scorpio woman would help her contact the deeper, hidden side of her nature. She will be influenced to become a more complete person.
Of course these two women have many differences to reconcile. Gemini is restless, easily distracted and indecisive, and this will be difficult for her Scorpio partner to accept as Scorpio is so self-contained and single-minded. The Gemini woman may feel intimidated by her partner's explosive emotions, and perplexed at the Scorpio's reserve. The Gemini may feel that the Scorpio is lacking spontaneous communication skills. If they can overcome these differences they will find they have a lot to share on the mental level. Their relationship may not be an easy one, but it will be fruitful for both partner's growth. Sexually, these two have a lot to work out. Scorpio is highly sexed and passionate, and Gemini is cool and dispassionate. This relationship can work if the Scorpio woman can initiate her partner into a deeper level of emotional experience than Gemini is ordinarily prepared for. The fascination that the Gemini woman has for her Scorpio partner's powerful mind may be the spur to go into this experience.
