Taurus-Gemini Cusp Sign Dates and Definition

Dates: May 17 - 23

THE BROAD-MINDED, HARDWORKING Taurus meets the charming, energetic Gemini in this powerful cusp. This cusp's personality traits are the best of both worlds — ambitious and grounded, smart and humble, creative and versatile. They are also prolific, and can spread themselves too thin when it comes to commitments. Sometimes, when you can do it all, it's hard to say no.

Youth / Energy / Versatility

Those born on the Taurus-Gemini cusp are great communicators, and they can talk to anyone about anything. What they aren't great at is listening. They tend to monopolize conversations and might have a bad habit of talking over people. And though they like to talk about their own dramas quite a bit, they have a hard time being there when others want to talk about theirs — even when they want to be.

Independence is important to those who embody the Gemini cusp. They are proud, hardworking people who want to be acknowledged for their work. The dually Venus and Mercury-ruled really do have boundless, youthful energy and when it is focused, it is a blessing. But, if not directed properly, that energy can also make the holder feel scattered, jittery, and anxious.

So, if you were born on the Taurus-Gemini cusp, you might want to work on your listening skills. Think about how much you appreciate the ear of your friends and loved ones and set a goal to reflect that same kindness back to them.

And, if you know a Taurus-Gemini, be patient with them, but be honest. Encourage them to confront their insecurities, and to strive for forgiveness in themselves and others. Also, tell them to take a nap.
