Joe Coleman and Michelle Young have been connecting this season on The Bachelorette, and their Gemini zodiac signs may be behind the chemistry. Geminis, known as the sign of the twins, can be as outgoing as they are introverted. On the surface, Michelle and Joe seem to fit into these mirroring roles naturally.
The chemistry between Michelle and Joe was obvious on the group basketball date. However, they actually first met online by exchanging some flirty direct messages on Instagram. Michelle wasn’t sure she could trust Joe after he ghosted her back in the real world. After hearing him out about the violence he faced in his community and how he wasn’t ready to open up at the time, she understood but still said she needed better communication. Joe promised to do just that and said he would work hard to win her trust back no matter what came in his path. When Joe got the chance to shine on the court, Michelle couldn’t deny she liked how much they had in common. Michelle and Joe felt something familiar and special between them with basketball, Minnesota, and a zodiac sign in the mix.
Former basketball star Michelle was born on June 3, 1993, in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Her Ascendant sign is Virgo, her Sun is in Gemini, and her Moon is in Sagittarius. On the surface, she can be shy as a Virgo but simultaneously has a crisp, no-nonsense approach with others, which she exhibited by sending Jamie Skaar home and holding Joe to a high standard. Michelle's playful Gemini side loves basketball as much as ditching her heels for an impromptu race. Finally, her inner Sagittarius Moon rules her idealist, internal, emotional words. This sign reinforces her positive energy and passion for learning as a teacher. Michelle’s Venus in Aries shows her as a powerful pursuer who defines the rules of her relationship. She will only yield the reigns with a soulmate she can wholeheartedly trust. Michelle's integrity is solid, but time will tell for the rest of the men.
Joe was born on June 16, 1993, in Minneapolis. Not only do Michelle and Joe share a Gemini Sun sign, but they also share a rising Virgo sign. In this way, Joe can implicitly understand both Michelle’s reserved surface and the goofy side that loves games. Joe differs in his Moon and Venus signs, both Taurus, indicating his deep-seated need for comfort and familiarity. It’s no wonder he is drawn to Michelle, who has the same home and passions as him. If their twinning Geminis can keep each other entertained and balance their mood shifts, there could be harmony in their futures. Michelle said to Joe, “You’re not the loudest in the room, and I like that.”
Michelle and Joe would be far from the first Gemini twins to pair up. With the addition of their matching ascendant Virgo, their biggest challenge may just be how similar they are. If Joe fights for her on the home and away court, metaphorically, Michelle and Joe may lock it down. However, with Michelle’s need to take the lead and maintain independence, they may have some conflict. Hopefully, the rest of Michelle’s season of The Bachelorette will show us how these Geminis could make it work for life.
The Bachelorette airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
