Non-Committal Gemini men tend to jump between many different things at once, whether it be projects or partners.

When it comes to relationships, this non-committal nature can look like last-minute changes to date plans or vacations.^{[12]

Capricorn These two tend to butt heads, as the Gemini is adventurous and fun-loving while the Capricorn is rigid, stable, and responsible. This can create differences in financial decisions and social standing, which can be a big blow to the relationship if the two don’t work together to fix it. Although this can be difficult, as the Gemini tends to feel tied down and misunderstood by the Capricorn, who usually feels unheard and ignored, you can make this match-up work.^{[25]
