Do Aquarius and Gemini Make for a Strong Love Match? Short Answer: Yes!

When Two Air Signs Meet

Gemini and Aquarius are one of my favorite pairings. The two air signs are a natural match for each other. In astrology, any two zodiac signs can form a romantic relationship, but the recipe for each pair isn’t the same. Don’t let anyone tell you a pair is doomed just because they are this sign and that sign. The analysis needs to go deeper than that. The real world has evidence of all pairings working out successfully, and also all pairings have had their failings.

As for Gemini and Aquarius, they naturally get along. Aquarius may find that they’re drawn to Scorpios in their search for a soul mate. Scorpio has a certain energy that Aquarius finds compelling. The two fixed signs (Aquarius and Scorpio) are often confused by each other, and this is the top pairing I receive emails about from readers. There are many blind spots and mutual points of interest that Aquarius and Scorpio share; they often find that they’re attracted to and repulsed by each other. It’s hot, and it’s cold.

What may surprise Aquarians out there reading this is that you might actually fair better with a spring sign than a fall sign. Taurus is the complete opposite of Scorpio on the zodiac chart, but demeanor-wise Gemini is the opposite of Scorpio. Taurus is a fixed sign, and they tend to butt heads with their partner, just as Scorpio’s fixed energy with Aquarius’ fixed energy can be a can of worms.

Why Gemini Is an Excellent Match for Aquarius

Gemini, just like Aquarius, is full of curiosity. Gemini is guided by the garden — the twin sign comes into the world after Aries and Taurus have done all their work to make the flowers grow and turn the grass green. Aries comes with several spring storms, and Taurus wears himself out by working hard with farming, landscaping, and gardening. Gemini comes into the world ready to play in the garden, ask questions about their surroundings, and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Gemini is from May 21 to June 21. In the United States, it’s the time of year when students graduate, couples get married, and people go on vacations. Gemini is a season of celebration. The air sign enjoys the social arena but also the quiet, introspective solitude of the garden. This is in part why Gemini is the twin sign. They have a wide range when it comes to their personality.

As for Aquarius, they’re a wise and enlightened soul. Wisdom for them is about understanding the people around them, and enlightenment is about understanding one’s self. Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac. The later signs in the zodiac tend to be more laid back, reflective, and creative. Aquarius is the fixed sign of winter — a time of hibernation, reflection, creativity, and hope.

Quirks of the Elements

Air signs are considered the most logical of the four elements. Here is a quick overview of the four elements:

• Fire signs have to do with free will and how someone can manifest their dreams and desires. Aries as the first sign of the zodiac has a huge job to get the ball rolling to make spring happen.
• Earth signs are grounded, practical, and resourceful. Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac. They take care of the projects that Aries starts and abandons.
• Air signs are intelligent, curious, logical, and creative. Without Gemini (the third sign), the garden would never be experienced or understood.
• Water signs are about emotions, feelings, and the soul. Cancer, the fourth sign, comes into the world controlled by the phases of the Moon and the tides. The sign is sensitive to mood shifts.

Each of the signs has a purpose and a story, and unlocking those secrets helps us to better understand the world around us. Ancient astrology is based on math and logic, not just intuition. Astrology helped our ancestors create a calendar, a groundbreaking step to understanding the seasons and agriculture.

When two air signs meet, it is a melding of minds. The two will rejoice in finding another genius who can understand them. Both Gemini and Aquarius want to be understood, but most people can’t untangle their minds or ways. A lot of people merely tolerate the two signs rather than embrace them.

Gemini + Aquarius on Dating

Gemini and Aquarius will enjoy each other’s company immediately, perhaps as friends first. It is important to keep in mind that Aquarius longs for friendship and seeks this as a priority in their romantic relationships.

When Aquarius is young, they might look for something emotionally intense; they’ll date a Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces. These relationships can be gratifying partly because Aquarius has an explosive emotional side, but they keep that part of themselves hidden and internalized. Water signs help Aquarius to bring that side of themselves to the forefront.

More often than not, Aquarius types find that they don’t fit in with the status quo. Dating a water sign could end up feeling wrong or too confusing because one person is caught up in the way things feel and the other is interested in ideas. Often in air and water sign relationships, people don’t learn how their partner works, and instead, they demand that their partner be more like them. At the end of the day, water can only be water and air can only be air.

Gemini and Aquarius are much more interested in ideas: they love exploring each other’s minds, and they love making jokes and showing off their wit. This creates an instant connection that they both know how to manage. They’re more interested in trying out new hobbies, visiting distant places, and seeing what the world has to offer rather than trying to impress someone with kisses, big emotions, flattery, or giant displays of affection.

A Romance That Can Be Slow to Start

The problem with Gemini and Aquarius is they can sit at friendship for a long time before it develops into a romance. They’re comfortable with each other, and sometimes that can prevent those awkward tense moments that come with a new dating relationship. Below I’ve listed some of the perks of a romantic relationship between the two signs:

• Gemini and Aquarius will share many things in common. They often have similar tastes when it comes to wine, television, books, places to vacation, restaurants, and music.
• Together they’ll cultivate a house of harmony with plants, pets, and things based on their interests.

FYI: This couple is more likely to spend time delving into trivia to win prizes than spending their hours wrapped up in each other’s arms. They can find intimacy cloying. But don’t get me wrong, they do love to cuddle and watch TV together.

Both individuals tend to be ambitious, successful, and knowledgeable. If they belonged in a Harry Potter house they would most likely be found in Ravenclaw — a good riddle can keep them busy. Luna Lovegood is the Aquarius mascot, by the way.

To keep the fire burning for a Gemini and Aquarius romance, they’ll need to constantly parse through new ideas. Try learning new recipes, visiting new cities, making new friends, and picking up new hobbies. Learn how to dance together, take a painting class, and go back to college. This pair has a never-ending pool of ideas bubbling up in their minds. Both people have hummingbird-like brains (and a predisposition to anxiety).

Aquarius will likely be the more confrontational and stubborn of the two due to her more fixed nature. Gemini tends to borrow from his neighbors, Taurus and Cancer, so be considerate of where his birthday falls and which sign is closer to him.

Gemini is often compared to the nervous system — they’re sensitive to different incoming information, and they can come off as nervous or impulsive. Gemini needs a calm partner who can keep them steady.

Gemini doesn’t like too much confrontation or a bad temper. Gemini’s top five least favorite qualities in a partner are:

1. Being emotionally manipulative
2. Untrustworthy behavior
3. Habitually stalking them; disregarding their independence
4. Demanding too much of them
5. Controlling them

See a pattern there? Gemini doesn’t want to be kept on a leash or made into a plaything. They want their freedom and independence, they want space, and they want to know their partner can be trusted.

Water signs tend to like to merge and reduce the amount of space a partner can have, this can be cloying for a Gemini who relishes in their independence. Aquarius also loves independence; a nightmare for an Aquarius would be to be in a co-dependent relationship, to be chained up to a wall. Aquarius’ top five least favorite qualities in a partner include:

1. Unbridled anger
2. Making them feel stupid
3. Making them feel unsafe
4. Cheating
5. Dependence

Aquarius doesn’t want to date a stupid person with a third-grader-like mentality, and they don’t want to be treated like their stupid. They won’t put up with cheaters. And anything that makes them feel trapped will cause them to run.

In the beginning stages of a Gemini and Aquarius relationship, the two will likely go on unusual dates — from art museums, dulcimer shows, ballets, throwing axes, polka dancing, seeing Shakespeare plays, eating fancy BBQ, trying out different ethnic restaurants, hot air balloon rides, and attending sumo wrestler matches. The schedule will be frenetic, yet impressive. If a Gemini or Aquarius are not putting effort into having unique adventures, it probably means they’re not that interested in each other.

When a Gemini and Aquarius have become more steady, they’ll share a gym membership, work together on a shared project like a puzzle, get a pet together, open up a winery, spend hours on a single game, and combine their mental efforts to earn large amounts of money. Gemini and Aquarius ultimately strengthen each other.

Gemini’s Positive Qualities

Below I’ve listed some of the positive qualities that Gemini brings to the table. Here are some of the things you can expect:

1. Gemini’s sharp mind will keep the ball rolling. As a sign earlier in the zodiac, they have more aggression than Aquarius. Gemini will get things done. They have the capacity to think and act.
2. This sign enjoys unique experiences, and they are willing to try most things at least once. They like trying new food, and they like new adventures.
3. They bring gifts from the latter part of May and June. This includes bright colors, warmth, spring dew, flowers, rain, weddings, graduations, and vacations. Gemini brings liveliness without compromise.
4. Often Gemini types have a love for animals and plants. They will likely have a pet or two or a few plants that will come with them when they move in with you.
5. Rather than making the Aquarius cry or oversaturate the relationship with sweetness, Gemini will try to make you laugh. They like to keep things upbeat.

2. They’re not always in tune with their emotions. They can have big meltdowns, and part of this comes from unresolved issues related to their childhood/inner child.

8. Occasionally, they’re too critical of people, making them unpleasant.
9. They will over-focus on something to the point of losing their sense of time.
10. They’re easily addicted and overwhelmed by vices. They could spend all day playing video games, they could be overly dedicated to something niche, or they could get into something really harmful and stupid.
11. Their exceptional intelligence can cause them to talk about extremely complex things or trivial things that others don’t easily understand. Their conversations can be bereft of context.
12. They can get down in the dumps because they feel misunderstood on a regular basis.
13. They’re full of paradoxes and unpredictable. It can make someone feel uneasy when their partner is too unpredictable.
