Oil and water might be the best description for this couple. Gemini’s lightness does not blend with Scorpio’s depth. But do these two have something to offer each other?
Sun in Gemini has a short attention span. His goal is to gather a variety of experiences; he doesn’t have the energy for exhaustive exploration of one subject or person. His quick wit and curiosity are the fuels that propel him forward. If his partner can keep up (while keeping his curiosity stoked) Sun in Gemini can be a loyal companion. But no matter how loyal he is, he’ll always have a variety of friends and confidants—of both sexes. Possessive lovers should look elsewhere.
Moon in Scorpio needs a profound connection with her partner. Naked, emotional honesty is a must for her to feel secure. But she doesn’t trust easily; getting Moon in Scorpio to let down her guard is a long process that requires a patient partner. This Moon needs control in order to feel safe; she’ll let a prospective partner in on her terms. Meanwhile, her lover must be prepared to reveal everything about himself. Her possessive, Shadow side can creep out when she feels her partner is hiding something. Her lover must be prepared for simmering anger and/or manipulative jabs, all released with the intention of making him “pay” while forcing him to open up.
Sun in Gemini will feel overwhelmed and undercut by what Scorpio doesn’t say. She’s a master at holding back and nursing grudges, which she’ll feel compelled to do each time Gemini chats up a different woman. Moon in Scorpio will feel insecure and unsatisfied with Gemini’s glib explanations.
However, if there are more harmonious connections between their charts, these two might learn something from each other. Sun in Gemini can show Scorpio how to lighten up, as she learns that his conversations with others are just words (and nothing more). And Moon in Scorpio can push Gemini to look beneath his ideas, to the rich current of intensity she’ll bring to their relationship.

November 9, 2012 at 8:11 amThank you for these insights Nadia! It describes me and my twin soulmate to a T. We are born just days apart and are completely similar except for our moon signs and different aspects, and house assignments, of course. We’re both Gem suns, I’m a Scorpio moon, he’s a Virgo moon. I think I see why we need our time apart, and yet always come back together.

November 10, 2012 at 6:18 pmvery good description of lunar scorps. i dated a gemini mooner and i appear bi polar to him and he appears too flirty and not as serious to me. actually, all air mooners feel this way to me. its like they always miss the boat. i dont believe in expressing my feelings and i need a partner to just feel the undercurrents.

April 20, 2015 at 10:16 amone person has the Sun in Gemini, another person has the Moon in Scorpio. Male/female pronouns are used for convenience (sun/male,moon/female), but the genders of the two people can be anything.
