Taurus and Gemini are neighbors on the Zodiac wheel, and if the chemistry is right, might find themselves kissing over the backyard fence!

Taurus lightens up with Gemini, and both are samplers of the buffet of life.

Gemini in love is flirty, restless and fun to be with.

Taurus in love is a comfort-lover, sensual and a stabilizer.

With this combo, opposites attract sometimes, since each offers what the other lacks. When the strong, but silent Bull meets chatty Gemini, you know who does all the talking on the first date and beyond. Taurus is either immediately suspicious of Gemini as superficial or is captivated by Gemini's multi-dimensional nature.

Root In or Lighten Up

Gemini is either intrigued by the promise of earthy depth or feels smothered by it. The difference is one of personal velocity -- Taurus is slow and Gemini is fast.

Gemini is a super restless sign, with a sensitive nervous system. They can't sit still and are quick to change plans.  Taurus is a sign of slow food, taking time to get ready, and a lover of fixed plans. 

They'll have to accept and support the speed of the other, and not try to change them, or this is doomed to fail.

The dense mellowness of Taurus can be soothing to Gemini's nervous spirit, and help them find sensuality. Gemini zaps the stubborn mind of the Bull and inspires them to think in a new way.

Taurus and Gemini are traveling different paths -- one is keen on consolidating and building forms (home, business, body of art), while the latter (Gemini) is about playing with forms.

Look to other energies in the chart, especially Venus and the Moon, to cultivate what will grow into an enduring love.  Moon signs that are in sync go far to create a comfort zone, where these two very different signs can retreat together.

Moon signs also show how you both relax, as well as how you react to a crisis.

Gemini's tend to talk their way through stress, while Taurus goes radio silent. It's interesting to note Mercury signs, and they may be switched (with Gemini having Taurus Mercury and vice versa). That goes far to bridge the gap there with differences of pacing in life.

Gemini brings an endless stream of ideas, while Taurus has the practical magic of earth signs. A great team there of bright ideas and productivity, especially if there are shared goals.

In the boudoir, Gemini is a talker and might be hard to wrangle and settle. It helps if there are few distractions since Gemini is constantly pulled in many directions attention-wise.

Taurus can impress Gemini with interesting random facts or deliver some absurd anecdotes. Gemini puts Taurus at ease when they demonstrate they're at least a little bit consistent. Like showing up on time, as Taurus values punctuality, and resents time-wasters.

Taurus seeks stability and rootedness, and Gemini has itchy feet and thrives on change. It's a dynamic match when other planets help tip the scales. Otherwise, you could be in for a relationship with high drama and misunderstandings.

Taurus and Gemini Love Story

Reader RFerdez writes, "When I met my Gemini she was (and is) everything that I was not and captivated me with her accelerated and nomadic energy. Needless to say, I was attracted to her like a magnet and for matters of the universe, she was drawn to me as well. Today even tho clearly opposites I could not b happier. She's a wonder to me that keeps me always curious and renewed. And cherishes the stabilizing effect I bring into her life. My other half."
