Scorpio-Gemini is rich in stealth and bright watchfulness; above all we have a Scorpio most intimate with metamorphoses. There is a dark, amoral edge to the Scorpio whose Moon is so light and shape-shifty. Gemini peers into secrets as deep as Scorpio does but the knowledge does not ravage their bodies as it does for Scorpio. Scorpio tends to attract or only be interested in people and situations that are appealing to something very deep and unconscious in them, and so results in a reveling in pain, havoc to the senses, and ultimate cold clarity. Gemini is attracted to knowledge for knowledge’s pure sake, because their curiosity is their deepest and most restorative feature. With the Scorpio-Gemini we have a person who cannot help what makes them curious despite the effect this may have on their bodies or their stable world-views. Nothing is ever completely stable with them, or certain, or seemingly permanent. Lighthearted this person truly is not, because of the pain and heavy responsiveness they must bear which is always catching them unawares. This its not the combination of Dostoevsky for nothing. This person shocks others and shocks themselves; in their single being they are like a fully equipped puppet show of a hundred different masks and characters. The woman I personally know of this combination loves role-playing, even in her mature age; a Gemini Moon keeps you young at heart. This combination is just past the Full, the waning gibbous. Such a Moon phase is rather macabre and a little reckless— the person holds by the horns every opportunity their inconstant moods provide for release. Gemini is a filtering sign, rich in a symbolic milieu, which the person is always expertly curating and releasing so as to provide room for wider range for their insatiable minds. This coupled with Scorpio, the sign of somatic rebirth, creates one of the most vividly alive interiors in the zodiac. The person uses themselves as a conduit for information, experimentation, and can suffer very greatly as a result. Self-care can be very careless if it is attempted at all. The person’s cross to bear seems to be that their curiosity and intense passion for others and interacting with others leads them down ways those with weaker hearts would never attempt. They will see all, they must see all, and they offer at the feet of this path any tendency to judgment. If you do find them judging, it is with a playfulness, for Gemini even likes to pretend to be stodgy and stiff. It is not how they really are or what they want though; they are always looking to be broken open. They are in a constant process of having their defenses breeched in order to be present for the experiences they unconsciously attract. And at the bottom of these experiences are epiphanies the likes of which the person never even dared dream. Life is a revelation with this combination, and the person becomes one of Life’s most devoted disciples. At the same time, they are a law unto themselves and cannot be relied upon to carry any specific creed. Gemini’s fierce independence comes in the form of the ultimate right to absolute freedom of voice and expression, so the person in theory would not mold others, but Scorpio is one of the most powerful molding forces, so we have here a person of dual nature who can say one thing, express another, and the battle for integrity gets waged in their own bodies. Thus the reason they suffer so greatly. This person is stricken by the infection of the Idea. The Gemini part of themselves, which, as the Moon, is an unconscious, primal part, becomes filled in the presence of an Idea, and animated like the Creature of old, while the Scorpio part brings inherent obsessiveness until the Thing is seen through to the end, until the person becomes viscerally merged with what they believe in, and live a life in service to the Idea. But this idea can be drastically upended in life—and then, like any Scorpio, the person finds themselves in drastically different phases, even looking different per phase. In partnership the person can very well be devoted but they are one of the most self-sabotaging of Scorpios and the person is not likely to carry a first relationship through many years. They are cut on the teeth of heartbreak and grief, though it may take deep somatic work and much time for grief to leave this person’s body. Gemini has a rather negative effect on the emotional health of a person when present as one of the Lights because they are not too conscious of their own depths—though consciousness is what they live for—it yet eludes them at every turn, which is where a Gemini gets their sense of humor. True knowing comes to empty hands, and in silence, when the body is soft and receptive—which is the state the explosiveness of Scorpio is always creating—but Gemini tends to be hard, turning what they glimpse onto others like a hall of mirrors.
