Scorpio’s the kind of friend who believes your enemies are their enemies. If you’re mad at someone, they are, too. As a water sign, they’re an amazing shoulder to cry on. Scorpio has a deep, intuitive understanding of others’ feelings. If someone talks behind your back, they won’t let it slide. Scorpio will be ready to throw down if it means defending a pal!

Gemini is endlessly curious, so they’ll make you feel like the most interesting person on the planet. Have a weird hobby? They want to hear about it! This air sign is super adaptable, so you never have to worry about how they’ll fit in with other friends. They can get along with just about anyone. Gemini is also whip-smart. If you love a deep and stimulating debate, Gemini is the perfect friend for you.

To build on your friendship, ask each other questions about how the other thinks and feels: “Are you more likely to get sad or angry when someone hurts you?” Ask each other about their reactions to songs, books, and movies. You’ll both love to hear about how different your friend’s opinions are. Do your best to appreciate each other for what makes you different; when they act in an unexpected way, take a second to enjoy the surprise!

Try asking your pal a stimulating, open-ended question to bond: “Do you think life on other planets exists? Why or why not?” If your pal has a strong opinion, push them on it. They’ll love the challenge: “I actually disagree. I think the book’s theme was more straightforward…” You two will be especially interested in the subject of psychology. Try sharing books and TedTalks on the topic, then discuss them after.

Try crashing a party you weren’t invited to together. You two will have so much fun taking on new identities and trying now to get caught. Walk up to people you don’t know and ask them to play you in a game of pool. Losers have to tell the winning team their deepest secret. Whether you’re getting matching tattoos, pranking other friends, or summoning spirits together, you two will never have a dull moment.

Throw an exciting theme party together. Scorpio can do the careful planning and creative stuff, while Gemini can charm the guests. If you two go to the same school, why not run for office? Scorpio and Gemini would make an amazing President/VP pair. Scorpio and Gemini would make great business partners, too. Scorpio brings the strategy, Gemini brings the charisma.

Scorpio, remember that when Gemini spends time with other people, that doesn’t take away from their friendship with you. Take a deep breath and cut them some slack! Gemini, try to carve out some time in that busy schedule just for Scorpio—this will make your pal feel special and appreciated.

Gemini, if you care about Scorpio, respect your time together. If you’re desperate to do something new, at the very least invite them along, too. Scorpio, respect that Gemini’s flakiness is part of what makes them exciting. You can’t stand boring people, so in a way, isn’t this a blessing?

Scorpio, respect Gemini’s boundaries. They’ll open up to you in time, but if they’re unwilling to dive into deep stuff straight away, that’s okay. Gemini, because you’re ruled by Mercury, everything interests you. So why not stick to topics that Scorpio loves, like music and psychology?
