of all the opposite combinations in the zodiac, i just dont get how are gemini and sags considered "opposite". they are identical to me. can someone please explain how they where "opposite" to you? im not interested in the cookbook descriptions though. i want to know from those who've observed the signs enough to notice the difference. cause i just dont see any difference between the two lol.

Maybe thats just your experience... Sag and Gemini are different in that Sag is more prone to be philosophical, more hot headed and eager to try things out without "over-thinking" it. Whereas Gemini comes up with tons of ideas and are very street smart but lack the true "spontaneous" motivation to do the same things that fire sign Sag does daily.

I have Gem ASC, and my friends that have Sag moons drive me crazy sometimes! Their energy is very external and mine is very internal. They talk freely, I talk selectively. NONE of them are detail oriented! It's so annoying to have to do something twice because they weren't careful enough the first time, but that's our life story being a Gem ASC friends with Sag people. I also notice everything is pretty blatant with them and they encourage me to "just do it" whereas I like doing things in little ways and in increments.

geminis are flighty, sags are enthusiastic.
their energy is focused in different but they're both very playful about life.
out of all the opposite signs, i also find these two very similar in the same way that i see taurus and scorpio to be similar.

i have a sagittarius mars, saturn and uranus, and i absolutely looooove my gemini moon and gemini venus friends.

I'm a Gemini with Sag friends. As a Gemini, I think before taking action. Sometimes I tend to think way too much when I really should just go for it.

My Sag friends seem to live by the motto "Act now, think later." This can get them into trouble since they don't think things through carefully. However, this doesn't seem to bother them since they bounce back very quickly.

Geminis are so laid back, a Sagittarius will pull out their organs all at once if they didn't have what's on their mind done.

Gemini can sweep you off of your feet, just with the alphabets . Let the Sagittarius talk and you'll know the meaning of " over-bearing", " blunt" and " rude".

Geminis have 1098992 gears and they shift between them soo fast... Sagittarius have a single mood , a single personality and a single vision.

Saggitarius has a worse attention span than Gemini.

Knowledge makers..

I was thinking about this question for s year or two myself, glad you ask.

I figured outthe differences, thanks to understanding the difference and opposition of fire and air energy.

Sagittarius is fire energy, so its self centered, or ego driven,, self. Centered more. How does this play out in real life? Well you can thank sagittarius energy for defining culture, principles, and the ability of the human senses to work together to perceive things and make knowledge. Sagittarius is truth, gemini is fact.

Gemini energy is the sir energy, the detached air energy, the energy that gathers knowledge outside the senses: science - using tools that are able to sense things or do things beyond our senses.

For example, sagittarius energy believed that the world was flat. We depended on our own senses to believe. Then science, gemini energy, actually found, in fact with the help of science, that its round.

Fr me, this is how it plays out with people in life too..

Saggy people are more likely ruled by belief, not like pisces ( belief in a higher power) but belief in tht what they know is right. We call them principles. This is how cultures are separated, how laws in different regions are vary, its the reason people can never agree on what is right snd wrong in philosophy, its opinion, decided by ones senses. Sagittarius energy.

This is why sagittarius energy and gemini energy are botht important. We need gemini energy where the senses are limited. We need dsgittarius energy to define a conscience for society that we agree on. Because saying its wrong to kill some or an animal can never in fact, be proved right or wrong, it just comes down to your principle beliefs, which are more ruled by how you feel, rather than hpow you think.

Ad we need gemini because theres things we need to know to help us learn more and understand better, which is were irrelevant, personal belief or feelings are irrelevant.

I always used Aries as guide at first to understand oppositions, it defines fire signs sd competitive, ego driven, and more self centred, so i imagine aries in the 5th house or put in a world where itd ego only thrives where society appreciates it. Or where the world of knowledge and learning matters.

And i think it works.. Sagittarius love travel because they want to experience these e things first maybe, but most importantly, they are feeding their 5 senses, geminis senses are all about the brain and the facts


Just my opinion and conclusions i came to after a long time of analysing.

theres a good scene in the film 'Seven' that kinda displays these differences, brad pitt, who by no coincidence to me is sagittarius himself, and morgan a gemini. play roles that are opposites in this manner.

many scenes through the film.. an example would be when they are looking for evidence or a clue at a murder scene and they have reason to beleive this painting is a clue, brad pits sagittarius reaction was first and said theres nothing behind the picture or on it. then morgans character, somerset, uses some science to discover that there is infact something: finger prints.

I can't say for sure so let me try...

A is from Astrology and the transits we share together, B is from Binary - as you know - it takes two to tango, C is from Chemistry always needed in the mix, D is from Direction - for you are my anchor and the steering wheel, F stands for Fantasies - which help me survive wile you are not around, G is from Gratitude - and I'm truly grateful for having you in my life, H is from History - nostalgic moments of the past and that's what becomes the present and so will the future, I stands for Impulse - such desire was in my hearth to mingle yours and light our path, J is from Joy - joyful moments, joyful smile - we strive in life for moments like this... K stands for Karma - what goes around comes around and L stands for Love - the rest is meaningless without it... so, let's dabble more with that. ^^

...see - doesn't work like that

I don't know any Gemini with more than 4 speeds - slow, very slow, fast and very fast... the medium is missing...

"Saggitarius has a worse attention span than Gemini."

...not true - they excel at this compared to Geminis - their sense of direction is superior to any sign from the zodiac... Virgos are better with spotting details - but a Sagittarius might spot something on the ground from long distance... something that Virgos can't spot till it gets in their field of view.

IMAGINE HAVING BOTH SIGNS IN YOUR PERSONALITY. I'm a Moon Sagittarius in 7th, Gemini Rising.

Sagittarius is like reading the summaries of 10 books. Gemini is like learning the titles of 50 different books.
Sagittarius is a field or a party, a meuseum with large ancient objects.
Gemini is a magazine, a spectrum of colors, walking encyclopedia.

Both signs have issues with emotional/TRUE intimacy. Take this from someone who is friends with a Libra, moon cancer, ascendant sagittarius. True intimacy to fire + air is bold, diverse, action. Water influence is all about stagnation, details, the past.

whoa

moon sagittarius, ascendant gem 8)

I have a friend like that...and he's a Hippie in the true meaning of this term... he promotes love and peace on earth, he likes to go in faraway places wile "hitchhiking" - we live in Europe and he even has India in plan for a future trip... - he's already been to Africa with the red cross foundation... but... it's a sad hippie story.

...if i read only the title of a book i don't intend to talk about it - that's a Leo thing... not Gemini. -_-

Gem/Sag are not opposites in every sense of the word, they're just opposites when it comes to the way they deal with intellect. Gemini focuses on the little details, Sag is the big picture. Gemini likes to know a little bit about everything, Sag likes to pick one subject and become an expert at it. Big vs little thinking. Gem is breadth, Sag is depth.

Sagittarius will accidentally blurt out your secrets and cause you much shame.

Gemini will intentionally tell your secrets because they wanted to get back at you.

Gemini is sharper/twitchier/bitchier/moodier, and cunning.

Sagittarius can really mellow out a personality, Gemini can make 'em really high strung.

i cant for sure say that i noticed the difference in energy between the two. but from my observation, not really much difference to be considered "opposites". like how virgo and pisces are can be VERY opposite, or how cancer and capricorn are very opposite as well. sags and gemini's seemed more "trine" imo.
and what desiring shadows said about both having issues with "emotions/true intimacy",many of the ones i've met had this issue. which is what made me question how they were opposites in the first place. usually with opposite pairings, one is the "emotional" one, while the other is the more "rational" one, one having what the other lacks etc. what amwols said is very accurate. the difference to me was only in how they expressed their intellect, but on everything else they seemed the same.

"Sagittarius is truth, gemini is fact." ... i like this too

I also like to think Sagittarius is more...do it yourself-y. They run off and do what they want, tag others along. Gemini is more aware of what they're doing. Whereas as Sagittarius is independent and roaming free, Gemini can fit in anywhere it wants. But opposite signs are similar too because they're the same mode and they're both masculine/feminine.
