Individuals born on the cusp of Taurus (the second Sign of the
Zodiac) and Gemini (the third Sign of the Zodiac) are ruled by both
Venus and Mercury. Here, the influence of Venus endows these cuspians
with a graceful and easy manner, coupled with a winning personality,
while Mercury's influence increases the talent for music, art and
eloquence. These individuals are thinkers, orators, artists and
inventors. In short, the hands and brain work together in perfect
harmony for this cusp combination. They display great imagination and
tend to be very expressive, both physically as well as mentally.
Taurus/Gemini natives would be well advised to become actively
employed since the more they have to occupy their minds, the greater
will be personal happiness...massage therapy, pottery, writing,
painting and the composing of music can bring great fulfillment to
these cuspians. In short, an idle Taurus/Gemini subject is a morbid
and unhappy soul indeed.
The Taurus/Gemini cusp combination, also known as the Cusp of Energy,
corresponds symbolically to the period of human life at around the
age of fourteen. The firm-set Taurus nature here (which is controlled
by the Planet Venus) acts as a counter-balance to the activity of
Mercury (the Planet which rules Gemini) with its quick and mercurial
ways. Because of the Gemini character, the desire to try new things
is in the ascendant, but there is an inherent reluctance to
relinquish the old...a carry-over from Taurus. This factors greatly
in stability. However, an excess of this trait can hamper the Gemini
nature and may result in an attempt to do two things at
once...usually to the detriment of both. It can also make these
cuspians stubborn about lesser things, even when they know little
about them. Self-control is strongly needed in this blend and, once
acquired, will enable these individuals to correct yet another aspect
often lacking in this particular cusp combination...that being
concentration, which is essential to this highly adaptable but
somewhat contradictory Zodiac type. Those governed by the
Taurus/Gemini cusp are said to be gifted in any domain they see fit
to enter. These are often the artisans (and frequently the artists)
of the Zodiac but, without the correct early training, are likely to
develop in an abnormal fashion with a tendency to spend their time in
sensuous enjoyment. These cuspians are said to have three masters:
Castor and Pollux (who are seldom in harmony) and the Bull (who is
ever determined to rule that historic pair). At best, these
individuals are very busy and helpful...at worst, they become
indolent.
Taurus/Gemini natives are exceedingly proud souls who would
undoubtedly prefer starvation to dependence. If they do happen to
find themselves in humble circumstances, then they will certainly be
very miserable but, displaying entirely too much pride than is good
for them, begging for help of any kind will be totally out of the
question. These are glorious givers but reluctant receivers...a trait
which can result in a character who is overly-free with money and a
tendency to be wasteful. Thus, it is important that these cuspians
develop a purposeful aspect to their nature. Nevertheless, these
subjects can succeed at almost anything if they are willing to try.
They are always active and energetic with refined manners and
pleasing habits. They possess a keen interest in the world around
them and the inherent charm cannot fail to draw innumerable friends
and sweethearts. However, those involved with Taurus/Gemini
individuals (who are notorious for their reputation as unstrustworthy
souls) are likely to live in constant fear of losing them. To some,
this may be an appealing challenge...to others, it is a frightening
concept, particularly in the areas of business and employment. The
brilliance of these cuspians is not normally sufficient to guarantee
success in a given field unless such is supported by a string of
undeniable accomplishments. Unfortunately, the characteristic
associated with this cusp rarely manifests an endurance which is
equal to personal desires and impulses. While slower and more
purposeful people simply "hang in there," Taurus/Gemini individuals
often find themselves being passed in life's race...rather like the
hare was overtaken by the self-possessed and deliberate tortoise. The
preparation of a resume may well be a rather painful process for
these cuspians since it will likely reveal an eclectic background
which is lacking any real depth...short sojourns in each job and
somewhat dubious accomplishments, for example. Learning about the
creation of structure and the value of limitations is essential for
the growth of a Taurus/Gemini individual.
Taurus/Gemini cuspians will probably easily perceive themselves as
more of a force than a person. No experts in self-awareness, from an
early age they tend to forge a role for themselves in life which is
active rather than passive...dynamic rather than static. As children,
they are interested in everything around them, apt to fly every which
way in their search for stimulation. These cuspians want to do it all
and take on the world through a frontal assault. Some Taurus/Gemini
individuals fail to form a strong ego when they are young, constantly
wishing to please and often fearful of rejection. This can result in
a character which accepts the wishes of others at personal expense.
Thus, self-assertion and the building of a powerful ego can become a
lifelong occupation for these cuspians. Taurus/Gemini individuals
frequently remain youthful and light-hearted their entire lives, but
the inherent need for physical pleasure can lead to an over-emphasis
on money and the accumulation of possessions. Indeed, they are
frequently somewhat addicted to sensuousness (and, at times,
sensuality), prone to carry their tendencies to extreme and apt to
invest in such items as fast cars and other material means of
stimulation. In addition, without the correct training early in life,
these cuspians may develop exceedingly large bodies. Nevertheless,
these are basically tolerant and gentle souls who are often perceived
by others as being scattered and highly-strung. The many interests of
Taurus/Gemini subjects make them entertaining and loyal friends with
a carefree and unpredictable twist. In their leisure time,
Taurus/Gemini individuals enjoy pairing up with partners for
recreation. Outdoor activities that allow a closeness with the earth
are most favored. The love of conversation and good food ensures that
relaxing dinners with friends are highly enjoyable and the
inquisitive and literary orientation of this cuspian means that he or
she will also enjoy mentally challenging pursuits. In short, the
Taurus/Gemini cusp combination makes for a charming and congenial
individual who has many friends and acquaintances in all areas of
life.
With regard to relationships, since the rulers of this cusp
combination are Venus and Mercury, any love affair must be both
physical and mental in origin. The practical applications of artistic
ability and authorship are profound on this cusp and domestic life is
best if financially secure and mentally stimulated. The elements of
earth (associated with Taurus) and air (associated with Gemini)
rarely blend well. Instead, each element will seek to find its own
Terriblelynetory or outlet. Taurus/Gemini individuals are inclined to be
richly sensual by nature and, if left alone or isolated, may well
become deeply depressed. Projects that are many-faceted and require
patience can help in the healing of hurts for this combination. If
security is threatened, a nervousness and lack of mental grounding
may occur and it is essential for these cuspians to guard the throat
and upper respiratory tract since, under stress, these body parts
become most vulnerable to attack.
The great strengths of the Taurus/Gemini combination are stability,
perseverance, and both intellectual and conversational skills. These
cuspians are able to analyze difficult ideas and communicate those
ideas to others in a clear an concise manner. Their methodical
determination enables them to be productive even when others have
long since "given up the ghost." There is a natural talent here to
reason with others and this cusp combination is one of the strongest
of the Zodiac when it comes to meeting goals...largely due to the
inherent reliable persistence.
The most important lesson to be learned by Taurus/Gemini natives is
that they should always be careful not to wear themselves out and
realize that there are limits to what an individual can achieve in a
short period of time. Additionally, it is important for them learn
not to come on too strong and they also need to recognize the value
of confronting personal fears and insecurities. As with all cusp
individuals, these cuspians tend to be attracted to others born on
the cusp...particularly those who fall within the Aries/Taurus and
Sagittarius/Capricorn combinations.
