<p id=”par-1_7″>This <em>Love Island USA </em>romance didn’t last. </p>
<p id=”par-2_29″>Roughly a year after Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenbergh fell for each other on season 7 of the hit Peacock dating series, the couple has split, <a href=”https://www.eonline.com/news/1434229/love-island-usas-olandria-carthen-nic-vansteenberghe-break-up” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>E! News</a> reports. </p>
<p id=”par-3_69″>While it’s not clear exactly what led Nicolandria to call it quits, the pair’s breakup may have been written in the stars. Nic is a Pisces – a Water sign – and Olandria is a Gemini – an Air sign. That pairing often starts off with initial intrigue and magnetic chemistry. But couples with this dynamic may also struggle with getting on the same page emotionally in the long-term. </p>

<p id=”par-4_26″>Gemini and Pisces are a quintessential “opposites attract” kind of pairing. Both signs are adaptable and go-with-the-flow. But each has a completely different approach to life. </p>
<p id=”par-5_59″>As a Gemini, Olandria is likely big on logic, conversation, and boundaries. When it comes to relationships, people with this Sun sign (which is ruled by Mercury) need freedom and mental stimulation. But their logical side means they may want to keep their options open and analyze all possible angles of a situation before truly committing to a relationship. </p>
<p id=”par-6_35″>Nic, a Pisces, a Sun sign that’s ruled by Neptune. People with this sign are driven by instinct, romance, and deep emotional resonance.Feelings, subtle vibes, and an idealistic vision of love are what drive him. </p>
<p id=”par-7_53″>Problems for Pisces-Gemini couples can arise during emotional moments. The Gemini in the relationship will try to talk through their issues rationally. But the Pisces responds intuitively. To a Pisces, Gemini’s mental detachment can feel cold or distant. To a Gemini, Pisces’ emotional intensity can seem frustratingly nebulous or hard to pin down.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-nic-and-olandria-share-a-venus-sign-in-aries”>Nic and Olandria share a Venus sign in Aries</h2>
<p id=”par-8_26″>Despite their differences, Nic and Olandria both share a Venus sign in Aries. That’s “a major indicator of being a power couple,” according to Astrology Island. </p>
<p id=”par-9_78″>“They could both want similar things from their partnership and find their relationship naturally fits into place in both of their lives,” read the post from the <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DOEgVwrDOih/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a> account that specializes in analyzing the astrology placements of reality stars. “They could feel like they’re on the same team, having each other’s backs and instinctively knowing what the other needs from a partner while being able to provide it. This can give their connection a solid and supportive foundation.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_75″>However, that commonality alone wasn’t enough to guarantee their relationship would work. Nic and Olandria also have opposite Mars signs, which can lead to competitiveness, noted Astrology Island. A bigger red flag was Olandria’s Cancer Moon and Nic’s Aquarius Moon. With her Water Moon, Olandria might be “reserved and cautious” emotionally. Meanwhile, Nic’s Air Moon “could feel more comfortable speaking his inner thoughts out loud, and may not instinctively relate to her more introverted side.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_29″>“She may have to learn how to express her emotions more verbally, while he may have to learn how to pick up on her subtle cues,” Astrology Island noted. </p>

<p id=”par-12_89″>Geminis like Olandria want autonomy. After her stint on <em>Love Island USA, </em>she made it clear she needed space and privacy. In contrast, Nic’s Sagittarius Mars thrives on adventurousness, while his Pisces Sun craved closeness with a partner. But he and Olandria were long-distance during their year-long relationship, and busy schedules made it difficult for them to connect, he confessed during an appearance on <a href=”https://www.peacocktv.com/blog/nic-olandria-relationship-update-beyond-the-villa-long-distance”><em>Love Island: Beyond the Villa</em></a><em>. </em>That separation may have been particularly hard on a Water sign like Nic, since they tend to crave consistent closeness. </p>
<p id=”par-13_78″>Ultimately, Nic and Olandria’s charts reflect why they had such electric chemistry: They both adapt easily and are drawn to the qualities in the other person that might be different from themselves. But over the long-term, a clash can emerge between Gemini’s need for mental space and Pisces’ need for emotional closeness. This pairing “requires conscious effort to thrive,” notes <a href=”https://www.cosmic-copilot.com/compatibility/gemini/pisces” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Cosmic Copilot</a>. For Nic and Olandria, maintaining their a long-distance connection proved too challenging, leading to their breakup.</p>
