Long term

Taurus and Gemini in love are a roller coaster, best taken as a short fling. Taurus wants order, Gemini wants change, and each drives the other mad. They do share a laugh.

What draws them together

At first it is mostly fun. Gemini can make Taurus laugh at a table full of strangers, and Taurus for once forgets to watch the clock. Gemini, in turn, likes Taurus's calm: next to it, their thoughts stop scattering in every direction. Both have a sense of humour, just different ones. Taurus is dry and slow, Gemini fires off puns. Give Taurus a moment to answer and Gemini laughs harder than expected. Each admires what the other lacks: Gemini Taurus's staying power, Taurus Gemini's lightness.

Love and intimacy

Taurus wants a closeness to savour, Gemini a game that keeps changing. Taurus takes flirting seriously, Gemini takes it as conversation, so Taurus waits with dinner while Gemini has stayed out with friends "for just one". In bed Taurus is slow and thorough, Gemini curious and soon looking ahead to the next idea. When the tempo is matched it can be playful and surprisingly tender. Taurus needs to know they were chosen, Gemini that they are not tied down.

Everyday life and home

Sunday at half past twelve means lunch to Taurus. Gemini arrives at quarter past one with a story, three new plans and a box found on the way. Taurus dislikes plans that change as they go, Gemini dislikes plans made a month ahead. Money is another battlefield: Taurus saves, Gemini buys a gadget and uses it twice. Splitting the roles helps: Taurus watches deadlines and bills, Gemini dreams up weekends. Those who last keep two diaries, Taurus's in ink and Gemini's in pencil, and have stopped translating for each other.

Where it rubs and how to ease it

Gemini says "I might pop round" and Taurus writes it down as a promise. What Taurus minds is less the empty chair than the word that counted for nothing. Gemini, in turn, can't see why Taurus brings up a sentence they forgot a fortnight ago. Taurus speaks slowly and means it for the long run, Gemini speaks fast and means it for today. It helps to agree that "I'll come" binds, "might" is free, and Taurus does not take a dig personally. A friendly Moon or Venus link between their charts can narrow this gap, an awkward one widen it, whatever the Sun signs say.

Taurus man and Gemini woman

A Taurus man next to a Gemini woman sometimes feels as if he were running after a tram: on Thursday she has a new friend, on Saturday a new hobby, on Sunday a plan to move. She looks for a fixed point to come back to in him, and values it. He should show her trust, and she should text him when she will be back.

Taurus woman and Gemini man

A Taurus woman plans a month ahead and a Gemini man takes that for a cage, even when he likes the plan. She minds that he so quickly forgets the dinner he promised to cook. A whiteboard in the kitchen with the week's jobs helps, each writing only their own part and never rewriting the other's.

Keeping it alive

  • Say "I'll come" only when you mean it, and "might" when you might.
  • Once a week give Gemini an evening with company and no Taurus, and Taurus an evening without questions.
  • Learn something from scratch together, a dance or a language, so nobody has a head start.
