Gemini
Women:
Gemini
is an air sign, and is highly versatile and communicative. The
Gemini woman is intensely interested in the world around her.
She is alert to the shifting changes in her environment and wants
to understand why things work the way they do. She is insatiably
curious. She feeds on exchanging ideas with others, and for this
reason often has a preference of not being alone. The Gemini woman
usually has many varied interests and talents.. Her main opportunity
is focusing her attention on one interest at a time. If she does
not focus, she will become scattered and easily distracted.
She
does enjoy solitude, but is usually never alone for long. She
generally has many friends and when they are away she writes and
telephones them frequently. Whe she is alone she can become absorbed
in reading and writing. The byword for Gemini is processing ideas.
She prefers people for intellectual contact, and only secondarily
for emotional companionship. Exchanging ideas is one way that
she develops an understanding of herself and who she is.
The
Gemini woman has a tremendous ability to understand herself using
her mind as a door to reality. She makes herself open to people
who ask questions, and she loves to ask questions herself. Even
though she needs people, the Gemini woman needs a great deal of
freedom. She must explore new ideas and experiment with new ways
of being. To feel stimulated, she usually needs many new friends,
not just a few old ones.
If
you love a Gemini woman, always be prepared for the unpredictable.
She hates to be challenged by a dull routine. She can be wonderfully
stimulating as a partner who will always bring a new and fresh
perspective to your relationship. If you are a freedom-thinking
woman yourself, this can be a fulfilling partnership. If security
and monogamy are more important to you, then a relationship with
a Gemini woman can be trying and difficult.
Love
can be a special experience for a Gemini woman since she needs
the openness of the heart to balance her mental brilliance. By
the same token, being alone can also be valuable even though it
may be difficult for her. She needs to learn in a relationship
to nourish her own inner spiritual life in order to balance her
active outer life.
Gemini Loving Scorpio
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.
Gemini
Loving Libra
The
Gemini/Libra combination is generally a harmonious one. Both signs
are air signs, so these women share a common concern with mental
objectivity and the free and open exchange of ideas. Both women
try to establish harmony by discussing things from a lofty and
intellectual point of view. Both women will enjoy the clear, open
communication that takes place between them. The Gemini brings
the ability to clearly categorize and analyze whatever is going
on. The Libra brings a delicate sensitivity to the balance between
two people, and a well-developed sense of how to compromise and
take the other person's point of view into consideration.
These
two women are always able to talk together effectively. Neither
enjoys strong displays of emotion and each feels most comfortable
when an atmosphere of friendly but also cool objectivity prevails.
The problems that arise between them should be fairly easy to
resolve. Both women are eager to discuss their differences freely
and find a common ground. When these two do disagree, their problem
usually stems from the subtle way these two signs differ. The
Gemini woman, with her sharp, incisive, analytical mind, tends
to enjoy taking things apart in a cool, detached way. To the sensitive
Libran with her warmth and sympathy for another person's position,
the approach of the Gemini may seem a little cold-blooded. She
may feel that the Gemini woman fails to take the rational into
consideration in her approach to people and situations. The Gemini
sometimes finds her Libra partner too wrapped up in concerns about
what other people think and feel, rather than with what is. She
may feel that the Libran sometimes allows her desire to please
to compromise her reaction to situations.
Obviously,
each woman has much to offer the other. The Gemini can give her
Libra partner a clear analysis of things, unhampered by other
people's needs and demands. The Libra can give her Gemini partner
a more emotionally whole sense of life and people. The Gemini
woman will be influenced to think less like a computer and more
like a sensitive human being. Sexually, these two should be very
compatible as they both value mind-to-mind rapport above all else
and will be able to discuss their deeper feelings freely.
Gemini
Loving Aquarius
The
Gemini/Aquarius combination is usually a very harmonious one.
Both Gemini and Aquarius are air signs and they enjoy spending
a great deal of time exchanging ideas with each other. Both must
have the freedom to explore new frontiers of the mind, and both
hate being tied to a mundane routine. Each of these women will
appreciate this characteristic in the other. They will spend hours
together discussing the philosophical implications for this idea
or that. Both of them enjoy people, and they will have many friends.
Together they will reinforce each other's gregarious tendencies.
They will probably enjoy joining many social and idealistic organizations
together.
These
two women get along beautifully on the intellectual level, but
sometimes they may have problems because neither one is easily
in touch with her inner personal feelings. They each take a cool
and detached view of life, and both like to theorize about things,
but they may have trouble with raw feelings that are difficult
to categorize and pigeonhole. Another problem may stem from the
fact that Aquarian women are more independent loners than Gemini
women, and during certain periods the Aquarian will want to be
alone. The Gemini woman hates to be alone, and finds her Aquarian
partner aloof and out of reach during these times. The Aquarian
may find her Gemini partner's indecisive and vacillatory ways
hard to deal with, as once the Aquarian formulates some idea of
what she wants to do, she will stick to it tenaciously. When they
do disagree, the Gemini may feel her Aquarian parner takes too
rigid and dogmatic a stance, while the Aquarian woman may feel
exasperated because she can never count on where the Gemini will
stand on anything.
But
basically these are minor problems. Mental rapport is so important
to both these women that they will, ultimately, find ways of resolving
their differences. Both are most comfortable when an atmosphere
of open and calm reason prevails. At their best, the Gemini helps
her Aquarian partner stay open to new perceptions and experiment
with new ways to do things. The Aquarian woman helps her partner
to find enduring principles that can keep her centered through
changing circumstances. Sexually, these two women should be well
matched because they communicate so well verbally and are able
to talk about their sexual needs.
Gemini
Loving Cancer
The
Gemini/Cancer combination brings together two very different women,
but often works out surprisingly well. Gemini, an air sign, loves
the freedom to shift with each changing breeze, forever seeking
new ideas, new perceptions, new horizons. Cancer, a water sign,
always seeks the emotional security that stems from deep rootedness
in life. Restless Gemini craves freedom and is rootless; Cancer
needs to build a home base, a source of emotional as well as physical
nourishment. How can these two women meet half way?
Signs
immediately adjacent to each other in the zodiac--such as Gemini
and Cancer-- often share some common characteristics. Although
the Gemini woman tends to take a detached standpoint and the Cancer
woman an emotional one, they share a concern with their immediate
gut-level perceptions. Both tend to relate all their experience
to how it feels to them, as opposed to some abstract comprehensive
system. This subjective focus is the key to their surprising rapport.
In a sense, the Gemini woman is seeking a rooted relatedness to
life as she processes all her thought and perceptions about the
world around her. The Cancer woman can often help her find the
deeper emotional nourishment that the Gemini really needs to complete
herself. At the same time, the Gemini can offer her Cancer partner
a cooler, more detached perspective, one that can help clarify
intense Cancerian emotions. Cancer's emotionality is sometimes
excessive; her Gemini partner can help her use her intellect to
balance this tendency.
For
this reason it is possible for these two women to have a successful
relationship. The Cancer woman loves to spend a lot of time with
her lover; the Gemini loves to have another to act as her mirror.
Of course, their differences can make for problems. The Cancer
woman is strongly focused in her home; the Gemini woman craves
a lot of excitement outside the home. The Cancer woman tends to
want a few close friends (including her partner); the Gemini loves
to meet new people, and may get bored with the companionship of
just a few people. The Cancer woman needs a lot of emotional support
and solicitous attention, and her Gemini partner may have trouble
empathizing with her. But with a little work these two can overcome
these problems. Sexually, these two women are not ideally matched.
The Cancer woman needs the expression of much more emotional tenderness
than the Gemini is prone to give. If the Cancer woman can learn
to talk about her emotional needs with her Gemini partner, their
sexual relationship can improve.
Gemini
Loving Virgo
The
Gemini/Virgo combination usually works out well in spite of significant
differences between the two women. Gemini, an air sign, loves
to float off into the world of ideas. Virgo, an earth sign, also
has a keen intellect, but applies it in a more grounded way. Gemini
loves to gather interesting new ideas from far and wide; Virgo
likes to refine and analyze different ideas and select those that
will be most useful. Gemini is playful and carefree, going off
in all directions at once if possible. Virgo is serious, conscientious,
and self-disciplined. How, then, is it possible for these two
women to enjoy a harmonious relationship, as they often do?
The
reason these two women often do so well together is because each
one supplies something the other lacks. Both women are sensitive
and have the ability to cooly appraise situations with a sharp
eye for details. But the Gemini woman expands her Virgo partner's
focus to take in new and surprising vistas. And the Virgo woman
helps her Gemini partner to get her feet on the ground and be
more discriminating about which ideas she will take up. The Virgo
woman can show her Gemini partner ways of being more disciplined.
Together these women can communicate with each other remarkably
well. They love to talk about situations, perceptions, and inner
feelings together. Each woman feels that the other brings a constructive
view on what she is experiencing. On a day-to-day basis, these
women learn a lot from each other.
Problems
between these two will arise, of course. The Gemini woman may
find the Virgo's fixation on duty and perfection irksome at times.
And the Virgo woman will look askance at the Gemini woman's nonchalance
in the face of serious responsibilities of life. But even with
these pronounced differences in style, these two women have much
to offer each other once they work through these difficulties.
Sexually, these two women can be very compatible, as they both
approach love from a mental point of view, and both need to talk
about and analyze their feelings.
Gemini
Loving Capricorn
The
Gemini/Capricorn combination can work fairly well, but there are
some big differences to be overcome. Gemini, an air sign, loves
collecting, analyzing, and discussing ideas for their own sake;
the other responsibilities of life will have to take a second
place. Capricorn, an earth sign, also has a strong intellect,
but the most important thing in life to her is concrete, practical
achievement and taking on responsibility. The Gemini woman needs
the freedom to experience new things and explore new ideas. The
Capricorn woman is happiest when she has serious, responsible
work to do. She can enjoy speculations on the philosophical meaning
of life, but she also wants to bring these ideas down to earth
and find some practical use for them.
Both
women can be adept at categorizing and organizing information.
They both enjoy finding the basic structure underlying things.
For this reason, they can relate well together in spite of their
differences. The Gemini will appreciate the clarity and organizing
power of her Capricorn's mind. The Capricorn woman admires the
ability of her Gemini partner to analyze and categorize things.
This appeals to the Capricorn's orderly mind. These two women,
then, will do best when they are relating to each other on an
intellectual level.
In
emotional matters there may be more to work out. The Gemini woman
wants a light touch when it comes to a relationship; she needs
a lot of stimulation and hates to feel hemmed in by demands and
obligations. The Capricorn woman needs steady constant support
from her partner, and needs security and wants to be able to count
on her partner to be there. To the Gemini woman, the Capricorn
may seem too serious and demanding. And to the Capricorn woman,
the Gemini may seem too nonchalant and undependable. If this relationship
is to work, both will need to make concessions.
If
the Capricorn woman can learn to play and loosen up, and if the
Gemini woman can learn to be more consistent and take more responsibility,
this relationship has some chance of success. The Gemini can become
grounded by her partner and the Capricorn can open up her mind
to new experiences. Sexually, these two women may need some work,
as the Capricorn must have a sense of stability to feel loved.
Gemini
Loving Leo
The
Gemini/Leo combination brings together two lively and creative
individuals. In general, this match works out well, although there
are some things that may need work. Gemini, an air sign, is stimulated
and inspired by the fiery Leo. The Leo will be expanded by her
Gemini partner, especially in the realm of ideas and the arts.
These two women both enjoy an active social life and the stimulation
of intelligent people. Gemini is concerned with mental exploration;
Leo is concerned with creative self-expression. Together these
two can be a talented team, especially if they are involved with
some aspect of the arts in writing.
The
Leo woman finds her Gemini partner an exciting companion, and
Gemini enjoys the Leo's creative flair. But these two women are
also very different from one another and this can sometimes cause
problems. The Leo woman is ruled by passionate emotions, and she
tends to think she is "right". She has strongly-felt
convictions which she REFUSES to compromise. The Gemini woman,
on the other hand, is highly adaptable; she tends to appraise
life from a cool, detached standpoint. The Gemini woman may find
her Leo partner's strong-willed ways overbearing. She may also
feel that the Leo reacts to things much too emotionally. If the
Leo tries to coerce her, the Gemini may decide to leave. At the
same time the Leo woman may feel that lack of Gemini's ardor,
and may feel hurt if the Gemini does not suppoort her in things
the Leo feels with great emotional intensity. The Leo woman may
also get exasperated with the Gemini indecisive ways. Once the
Leo makes up her mind about something she will stick by it against
all opposition.
In
spite of these differences in personal style, these two women
have much in common. If the Gemini woman can learn to appreciate
her Leo partner's emotional intensity and determination, and the
Leo can appreciate the Geminni's flexibility and objectivity,
these two women can work together very creatively. Sexually, some
work may be needed as the Leo needs to feel a strong response
to her emotional intensity, whereas the Gemini takes a cooler
mental approach to lovemaking.
Gemini
Loving Sagittarius
The
Gemini/Sagittarius combination is usually a great match. Both
women are lively, restless individuals who will find each other
exciting, stimulating companions. Gemini and Sagittarius are opposite
signs in the zodiac, and as such the two signs mirror each other
while bringing out opposite and complementary sides of experience.
Both Gemini and Sagittarius constantly seek to expand their view
of life by using their intellect. Both women are adventurous explorers
in the realm of the mind. Neither is content to accept life without
question. Each woman can appreciate this quality in her partner,
and these two women will spark each other's minds, stimulating
new perceptions, new ideas, and new insights. Gemini is acutely
sensitive to all the multitude of perceptions; she loves to analyze
and categorize all these impressions to make a coherent picture
of her world. Sagittarius is a far-seeing thinker; she thinks
in wide-ranging comprehensive terms. Gemini's mind is like a microscope,
picking out the tiny details of the picture; Sagittarius' mind
is like a telescope, magnifying distant vision and sweeping the
broad range of knowledge. Together these two women can think better
than either would be able to alone.
These
two women can be very helpful to one another. Sagittarius often
has her sights set on such long-distance views that she stumbles
over her own feet. Her Gemini partner can help her to pay more
attention to what is immediately around her and show her that
she can learn a lot by simply observing her own perceptions. The
Gemini woman's mentality will be expanded as her Sagittarian partner
opens up the vistas of her long-range vision to her.
Problems
between these two women are generally minor. When they do arise,
they are fairly easily resolved since both women are highly flexible
and adaptable, and believe in talking about their differences
openly. Their difficulties mainly arise over the fact that Sagittarius
likes to do things alone more than Geminis do. Sagittarius is
much more independent than Gemini and enjoys venturing off by
herself from time to time. The Sagittarian hot temper is sometimes
hard for the cooler, more dispassionate Gemini to handle. Except
for these differences these two women have so much in common that
their differences should be easy to resolve. Sexually, these two
women can be very compatible especially as sharing feelings and
perceptions openly is so important to each of them.
Gemini
Loving Pisces
Gemini/Pisces
combinations bring together two very different women, yet they
often work out very well. Gemini, an air sign, tends to approach
life from a detached, objective standpoint. Pisces, a water sign,
approaches life primarily through emotions and intuition. The
Gemini woman analyzes everything around her. The Pisces woman
feels things out. Her emotions, are often so strong that they
drown out her reason. Obviously, these two women are very different
from one another.
In
spite of this, these women have some traits in common. They are
both extremely sensitive to other people and their immediate environment.
Neither has a well-defined identity, but instead they absorb the
environmental influences around them. For this reason, these two
women can have a strong psychic rapport with each other. Each
is instinctively aware of the other's sensitivity, and so they
can empathize with each other readily. The Gemini woman will appreciate
the warmth and sympathy of the Pisces woman; the Pisces will give
the Gemini the emotional nourishment she may not realize she was
missing. The Gemini woman can give her Pisces partner a clearer,
more objective view on the Pisces' often confused emotionality.
Both women enjoy playfulness and humor and together they will
appreciate life's little absurdities. The Pisces woman will also
give her partner a profounder awareness of life beyond the conscious,
rational mind.
Of
course there will be problems. At times the Gemini woman will
hurt the feelings of her sensitive Pisces parner without meaning
to. Gemini sees things cooly and matter-of-factly. The Pisces
woman has feelings that can be hard to fathom. The Pisces woman
will also have needs for emotional reassurance which her Gemini
partner may find difficult to meet. The Gemini woman may also
become frustrated at times by her partner's difficulty in articulating
her feelings clearly -- Gemini wants so much to talk about problems
and resolve them with the use of reason. Each woman will have
to stretch herself to understand the other, but ultimately they
will be richly rewarded if they make the effort. Sexually, a compatible
relationship is possible between them, especially if the Gemini
woman makes an effort to understand Pisce's emotional needs.
Gemini Loving Gemini
The
Gemini/Gemini combination generally works almost uncannily well.
Of course, it brings together two women with many similarities
in temperament, as Gemini is the sign of the twins and at best
these two women are like twin souls, one mirroring the thoughts
and feelings of the other. Often even one Gemini alone is like
many people in one body, and two Gemini proliferate the possibilities
even further. Each women can play the role as a projection of
one of her partner's other selves. Because of the implicit duality
of the Gemini personality, two Gemini together have more likelihood
than one of becoming a whole person. These two women will spend
endless hours bouncing about all kinds of exciting ideas, comparing
notes, and generally delving into all the fascinating aspects
of life and the universe. Although both are lovers of independence
and freedom, they will naturally tend to spend a great deal of
time together and may sometimes appear inseparable to an outside
observer.
The
main problem in this relationship is that these two women have
a hard time coming to a decision about anything. One Gemini can
be vacillatory and indecisive, two compound the problem tenfold.
Gemini is always aware of myriad possibilities to choose from,
and these possibilities are multiplied when these two women get
together. Not only that, but each woman can come up with hundreds
of pros and cons for any idea presented. These two women may seem
to argue vigorously at times, but actually it is usually not a
heated affair. Arguing is for them just another tool to uncover
new ways of looking at things. One of them may take a position
just for the sake of debate, but they seldom get really angry.
In
some cases, one Gemini woman will consistently play the role of
one side of the versatile personality, and her partner will play
the other. For example, one woman may play the shy, introverted
intellectual aspect, while her partner will play the outgoing
social gadabout. Keep in mind that with Gemini these roles can
be fluid, and role reversal is always a surprising possiblity.
Even though Gemini is primarlily an intellectual sign, and these
two women are great intellectual companions, they can also be
uncannily psychic with each other. Often one woman will pick up
the thought of the other, and know when the other will phone or
what she's about to say. These two women will always create a
lively atmosphere around them, and their home will be the gathering
place for creative, forward-thinking people. Sexually, these two
women are very well matched. Mental rapport is as important, if
not more important, than sensuality, and the subliminal rapport
so important for intimacy happens almost automatically with two
Gemini women.
Gemini
Loving Taurus
The
Gemini / Taurus combination brings together two very different
personalities. Taurus is an earth sign, and security is very important
to her. Gemini is an air sign, and loves the freedom to take off
at any time without being encumbered by any structure. The Taurus
woman can be a stay-at-home type; she loves togetherness after
supper with a warm fire in the fireplace. Gemini loves to get
about, going to movies and parties, going out with friends, and
going to endless meetings. These two can have a compatible relationship
if they can compromise and not be upset if one wants to stay home
all the time and the other wants to go out.
These
two women can be very helpful to each other, as each can supply
the other with something she lacks. The Taurus woman can give
her Gemini partner a much-needed grounding and stability. The
Gemini woman loves new ideas and possibilities, but sometimes
she may feel confused and overwhelmed by all the different alternatives
she sees. The Taurus woman can offer her a sense of what is basic
and enduring beneath all the flux on the surface of things. The
Taurus woman can teach her Gemini partner how to relax, how to
slow down and complete one thing at a time. The Taurus woman can
supply the solidity that the Gemini woman lacks. If the Gemini
can appreciate this and not feel hemmed in by it, their relationship
will have a chance to flourish.
The
Gemini woman, by contrast, can offer her Taurus partner the stimulation
of new ideas and new ways of doing things. She can bring a fresh
breeze into the otherwise rather staid life of her Taurus partner.
She can help her Taurus partner to talk about and bring out into
the open feelings that would otherwise be pent up inside. The
Gemini woman can show her partner that it is possible to work
through many differences by talking openingly with each other.
If
these two women can work through their differences, they can have
a creative relationship. Taurus is very sensual and needs a lot
of touching and cuddling. Gemini needs to be able to discuss her
own sexuality, and for her, mental rapport is at least as important
as physical rapport.
Gemini
Loving Aries
The
Aries/Gemini combination brings together two high-energy people.
An Aries, a fire sign, combined with a Gemini, an air sign, can
create a conflagration. Both these women, already highly excitable
by themselves, will be charged and stimulated by each other's
company. They will talk a mile a minute, and come up with all
sorts of plans, dreams, and possibilities together. The difference
between them is that Aries needs to act now -- even if this is
not always well-advised. Gemini, on the other hand, loves to think
about all kinds of ways of doing the same project and tends to
become vacillatory. An Aries woman becomes impatient with her
Gemini partner's talk and doubts and schemes. The Gemini woman
does not want to rush into something when she hasn't explored
all the ramifications.
This
combination has so much going for it that the problems are really
minor. The Aries woman will love the way her Gemini partner will
take up some brainstorm the Aries has had and expand on all the
ingenious ways it could be developed. Aries also enjoys all the
interesting people her Gemini partner knows and brings into their
lives. The Gemini woman opens up all kinds of new vistas for her
Aries partner to rush into and explore. The Gemini woman finds
that her Aries partner is fully able to give her all the excitement
she has ever craved. She will admire the way the Aries woman can
take an idea and start acting on it without being wracked by indecision.
The Gemini can learn the importance of acting when the iron is
hot, so to speak, rather than procrastinating and waiting until
it is too late.
From
the point of view of intimacy, these two could have some problems.
Neither one is easily in touch with her deeper feelings. They
both tend to be "head" people, and communicate wonderfully
on the intellectual level, but may need to work at communicating
their deepest needs to one another. Their relationship may seem
more like a sister contact rather than a lover contact. The same
thing applies to their sexual relationship. For Gemini, intellectual
rapport may be enough, but the Aries woman can be very passionate
and want that from her partner. Since these two are so compatible
in every other way they should be able to work out this difference
in their sexual needs.
