When You’re Gemini Sun With A Scorpio Moon

Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon people are not duplicitous, but people can think they are. They’re in the moment, counter-agents against mediocrity. But their subconscious is like a subterranean secret river system. Nobody has ever mapped it, and maybe that’s not the point. These people are the polar opposite to the classic simple person trying to seem deep or complex.

They’re complicated and sustained by a depth consciousness they don’t want you to know about. Maybe they don’t even want to know about it. They aspire to lightness.

They don’t “change their mind” – their mind is programmed to auto-morph. It’s a form of Zen. Grasping for relevance or clutching onto a concept wrecks their cognition. Simultaneously having five or more social media feeds is their way of practicing non-attachment. They’re not afraid of telling people to be quiet if they’ve lost the thread of a narrative.

Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon Is A Sleuth

Gemini Sun with Scorpio Moon is a clandestine operator and expert sleuth. Plutonic depth perception powers their mercurial observation. They forget what they thought last Tuesday but will trot out an exact quote of something you said years ago, in precisely the right context.

Evan Spiegel, the founder of Snapchat, has this Sun-Moon combo. “The stories are ephemeral, he says, “because you will be a different person tomorrow.”

For people who like urbane living and the simple pleasures of new release music/mascara/poetry/reality, they can be embroiled in garish complexity that they theatrically escape from. Think Edward Snowden strolling out of the N.S.A. with his Rubik’s Cube and now in an exile that he calls “an endless layover.”

Or Leah Remini leaving a powerful church she was raised in and turning her experience plus that of others into a cult doco. Five years of “thought modification” had the opposite effect to the one intended.

You Will Be A Different Person Tomorrow

Note: Do not attempt to modify a Gemini Sun – Scorpio Moon person. Holding them to account for something they said recently is also likely to backfire. They’ll open their top-secret-dirt-file on you and suddenly demonstrate incredible memory skills.

Think also Priscilla Presley, moving from Real Housewife of Gracelands to American Divorcee to successful entrepreneur and Eighties Soap Star. The dissonance between their Sun and Moon makes them super-adept at lightly leaping gaps – chasms – that others balk at. Their social mobility skills are more like particle physics.

Don’t let their buzz words and transition skills lull you into misgauging the depths. They’re the classic “nothing’s wrong” person, but they’re already sleeping with their karate instructor or getting secret therapy on how to leave you.

They don’t care if you think they’re shallow or a dolt because it makes machiavellian stunts behind the scenes so much easier to pull off. British P.M. Boris Johnson is a classic example of the genre. There are Gemini Sun Scorpio Moon people who’ll lie without remorse.  Upon leaving the temple they just spent ten hours worshipping at, what makes you think I’m spiritual?

Lust Can Circumvent Their Impeccable Logic

But they’re sensational in a crisis – partly because it’s great material – and quick on the uptake. They take their cues from the cultural algorithm without usually resenting any trend.

Does their Sun contradict their Moon? Yes. Lust can circumvent their impeccable logic, and some of them have furtive compulsions. Secrets are their stock in trade – their supernatural detection powers are not the only reason they do well in espionage and security.

If they disclose something to you, it is because they want you to know, and they’re avidly taking in every detail of your reaction. They’re nonchalant and cool-seeking in art, music, and style. But their sex and power metrics are encrypted. You only think you know the code.
