Taurus is stable, grounded and steady -
qualities that Gemini lacks and feels both drawn to and impatient with
sometimes. Taurus is intrigued by and respects Gemini's wit, mental
agility and intelligence, but is sometimes annoyed with Gemini's
inability to make a commitment or to follow through on intentions.
Gemini likes to talk and can jump rapidly
from one topic to the next in rapid succession. Taurus on the other
hand, lakes to methodically digest one topic at a time, and quickly gets
"mental indigestion" from Gemini's fast-paced conversation.
When faced with an important decision, for example, Taurus would benefit
by taking a quiet walk in the woods or along the beach, while Gemini
needs to talk with someone. You must learn to respect each other's
different styles, or you will certainly get in each other's way.
The major difference between you is that
Gemini needs a lot of mental stimulation, and enjoys change and
movement, while Taurus is much more deliberate, and slow to move or
change. Taurus feels unhappy if asked to make frequent adjustments in
routines or in the home environment, while Gemini is likely to feel
restless or stifled if things stay the same for too long. Domestic
tranquility and security are very important to Taurus who is much more
stable and even-tempered than Gemini.
Loyalty, constancy, and commitment come
more naturally to Taurus while Gemini is reluctant to be completely
committed, emotionally.
Taurus is also a more sensual and
instinctive person that Gemini who is emotionally more mental, aloof and
expressive. Taurus may be unable to articulate the reasons for an
opinion or stance, yet be unwilling to budge from it. Taurus'
stubbornness and slowness to embrace new experiences can be very trying
to Gemini. But Taurus emotional steadiness and nurturing qualities are
also very appealing to Gemini.
Taurus may sometimes feel that Gemini
lives in a fantasy world too much. Taurus also needs a lot more touching
and physical closeness than Gemini at times.
Taurus enjoys long and pleasant hours of
sexual expression and some may be stimulated by using sex aids and
movies. Taurus' style is not flamboyant and may at times lean towards
conservatism. On the other hand, Gemini tends to get bored with the same
old sexual routine, enjoys exciting new techniques and trying new
methods. This combination can at times, kill sexual spontaneity and make
both partners concentrate on performance rather than pleasure. Gemini's'
sexual needs are not necessarily as strong as Taurus.
Neither of you is particularly
conventional, nor are you great lovers of rules and formal traditions
for their own sake, but Gemini is apt to have a much harder time
conforming, and may in fact openly scorn or rebel against such
limitations. There is apt to be a great deal of change, constant motion,
fluctuating circumstances, and disorganization in Gemini's life, whereas
Taurus embraces necessary changes and flows with them but doesn't help
Gemini learn how to be true to oneself and one's own beliefs and nature
without needing to always rail against "the establishment" or
"the system".
A dynamic, aggressive exchange of ideas,
planning, and decision-making is such a strong part of your relationship
that you will either become rivals or partners - you cannot maintain an
indifferent attitude to someone that challenges and stimulates your
ideas so strongly. If you are able to coordinate and harmonize your
ideas, you will study, research, invent, plan, and write together very
successfully.
Although there is a great deal of
fascination, curiosity, and attraction between you, there is also a lack
of stability and peace. You react to each other very impulsively. Your
feelings for each other blow hot and cold. It may seem like you are
either making love or arguing with each other, going from one extreme to
another. This relationship could easily turn into a love/hate
relationship, where you simultaneously feel irresistibly drawn to each
other, but you also irritate each other and make each other feel very
uncomfortable. To make this relationship work, you both must be very
flexible, tolerant or shortcomings in each other, adaptable to the
constant changes and upsets, and enjoy excitement, novelty, and
surprises. In this relationship there is never a dull moment!
