Scores are calculated from sun-sign astrology alone: the angle between the two signs on the zodiac wheel, their elements and their modalities. A full birth chart includes the Moon, Venus, Mars and the houses, and can shift this picture considerably.
Aries and Gemini — the verdict
Fire and air at a friendly 60 degrees — Gemini talks Aries into things and Aries actually does them. This is one of the easiest pairings on the wheel because neither sign wants to slow the other down, and neither takes offence at bluntness. The risk is not conflict, it is that two people this restless can spend years having fun without building anything.
