All about Taurus Gemini Cusps
Taurus Gemini cusp combinations (also known as the Cusp of
Energy) correspond 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 factor’s 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.
Detailed Characteristics of Taurus Gemini Cups individuals
Proud individuals
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.
Glorious givers but reluctant receivers
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.
Possess keen interest in the world around them
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.
Easily perceive
themselves as more of a force than a person
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.
Summary of Taurus Gemini cusp relationship
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.
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.
Advice to Taurus Gemini cusps persons
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 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.
