Gemini and Aquarius personalities

Gemini

Geminis love to learn new things, and they love to do it all the time. They are excellent conversationalists and seemingly never run out of energy for chatting about any topic on earth. They tend to be quite extroverted and silly, especially if they think they share company with those who find them amusing. The “twins” of the zodiac also are able to see situations from from a dual perspective. They are social creatures and are likely to have a calendar full of invites, which they will surely enliven.

Aquarius

Air signs tend to get lofty — and none more so than Aquarius. This sign is interested in learning, and even more interested in using those intellectual pursuits to better their lives and their communities. This makes Aquarians forward-minded and empathetic at the same time. They can get carried away with their projects and ideas, though, forgetting to tend to their connections. They feel they have a purpose to fulfill and tend to get caught up in that ideal.

Overall Gemini-Aquarius compatibility

Aquarius and Gemini skew highly compatible. The two air signs' connection is based around appreciation for the other person's mind. There will be times when Aquarius wants more stability from Gemini, but mutual respect will overcome this issue. Together, they are a walking party. They have shared interests and a relationship that values freedom and exploration.

Friendship

You'll hear this pairing coming just from the laughter. These two are chatterboxes, through and through. They love to be seen and show off their close-knit bond. Even if they go into the friendship with separate hobbies, they will adopt each others' obsessions. This friendship is one that can stay bubbly and bright into old age.

Romance

These two signs fall in love with their heads and then their hearts. Aquarius brings a unique perspective and new ideas to the relationship while Gemini brings a playful energy, wit and adaptability. Admiration will lead to steaminess, not the other way around. Relying on their naturally open minds will help work out difficulties.

Marriage

Aquarius and Gemini will help the other stay young at heart. Aquarius takes an intellectual, almost wisdom-seeking approach to the marriage, wondering how it came make them better person. Gemini simply wants to have fun and relish the connection. They both should remember to take time for themselves. Aquarius should be patient with Gemini's antics and Gemini should not get his or her feelings hurt if Aquarius is a bit aloof now and then.

Colleagues

Good luck keeping these two on topic! This chatty duo loves to collaborate, communicate and innovate. The result? They'll start brainstorming projects that haven't been assigned yet. They're both problem solvers, able to look at situations from all angles. This is the team you want to explore new concepts. These two complement one another’s strengths and foster a productive work environment.
