Sweet Little Mystery
In Gemini and Taurus, we have a zodiac sign ruled by Venus, Taurus and one ruled by Mercury, Gemini. These are very compatible planets, particularly because they are both reasonable, conflict-avoiding, and fairly social.
The power of this cosmic couple together is that they are both helpful, logical and reasonable, and there’s a good chance that discussions can be productive and that they can iron out their problems. In Taurus, however, we have fixed Earth — a double dose of stability, loyalty, the desire for control, and caution. In Gemini, we have mutable Air — a double whammy of versatility, mischievous charm, free-spirited energy, and willingness to adapt to changes.
Where this relationship encounters problems is that we have Taurus, which can be the immovable object, and Gemini, which is like the wind through the trees. One seeks to change; one seeks to preserve. From this can come frustration for both.
What it means for Taurus is that Gemini activates their insecurities and forces them out of their comfort zones. What it means for Gemini is that they can become very frustrated by the Taurus’ resistance and may find the relationship is holding them back.
This relationship does, however, have a 70% chance of surviving, and one of the reasons is that they can both be star signs who really enjoy each other’s company and have a very productive — and even financially successful — relationship, with a powerful shared social life. There’s a lot to enjoy, and that can help them to get over the obvious differences.
In many ways, they complement each other. Mercury and Air provide fresh ideas and perspectives for Taurus, while Earth and Venus are both stable and powerfully affectionate — which is what Gemini need to thrive.
Romantic Compatibility
There is a magical attraction between these two sun signs. They’re comfortable with each other’s energy, and they’re likely to strike up a conversation and really enjoy banter together. The key to their togetherness is having fun.
There’s also a certain kindness within the Taurus character that reassures Gemini. Taurus tend to be a fairly easygoing, peaceable sign, and that’s comforting for Gemini. For Taurus, they understand, even in their subconscious, that they can be a little bit set in their ways and arrogant — and they rather enjoy the quirky energy of Gemini, who doesn’t suffer from the same obstinate mental blocks. Taurus can capitalize on the wit and energy of Gemini.
Their love languages are fairly compatible. Neither of them are very emotional or moody. Both are fairly upbeat, and they can be quite analytical and practical in dealing with problems. Emotionally, they both respond to humour, fun, and social stimulation, and therefore romantically, they gel.
There may not be a fiery chemistry or a deep sexual attraction; however, Taurus are geared to commitment, at the very least, they like to have a partner to do things with, and Gemini are very similar. Gemini like to be around someone who is reliable, consistent, and who they can enjoy the company of. So, there should be lots of shared interests and hobbies to keep this relationship motoring along.
Taurus brings out the affectionate side of Gemini. Gemini are playful, and they can have a laugh with Taurus — this indicates a relationship with a lot of harmony.
On a spiritual level, Gemini have a lot to gain from being with Taurus. There’s something about Taurus that creates a foundation and an anchor for Gemini. Gemini like the fact that Taurus can be a little bit stubborn and definitely know where they stand.
As lovers, sometimes the Gemini fickleness and penchant for being two-faced or sitting on the fence, is very disturbing for Taurus, who hates ambiguity as it can arouse insecurity within Taurus. Gemini in turn see nuance where Taurus see black and white. Gemini believe in hedging their bets and see changing their mind as an essential life skill.
Sexual Compatibility
Where sexual compatibility is enhanced between these two zodiac signs is that they can relax each other. Having a little bit of fun and banter certainly sets the scene for good sex — but the sex itself can be marred by a certain nervousness.
Taurus struggles to fully bond with and trust Gemini. There are always some doubts in Taurus’s mind because Gemini are a bit of a flirt and have a wide circle of friends. Therefore, Taurus instinctively hold something in reserve, not letting go fully sexually.
Gemini enjoy the affectionate nature of Taurus, this helps them feel in the mood, but it doesn’t necessarily have a sexual X factor. Although for Gemini, the sex life is likely to be a lot better because of the warmth and creativity that Taurus puts in as well as the fact that Gemini feel secure in the relationship, meaning they’re far more likely to open up emotionally — which is so important for the Gemini sexual experience. So, sex is probably better for the Gemini.
Friendship
These two star signs are definitely good friends and partners in crime. However, one of the things that can go wrong is when Taurus gets a little bit passionate. There are times when Taurus is very defensive, can be quite stroppy, or even lose their temper — and this is where issues arise, because Gemini won’t necessarily be expecting it and could be quite shocked.
Taurus are only easygoing for so long. They bottle things up, and then suddenly they explode. This sort of intensity and drama that Taurus can sometimes indulge in can be what ruins a potentially good relationship or friendship. It can put Gemini on edge, making them begin to walk on eggshells, and it can lower the level of comfort that this relationship thrives on.
The problem for Taurus is that Taurus tend to like exclusivity. They want to feel that the person they’re friends with or in a relationship with is very committed to them specifically, whereas Gemini spread their affection around a wide group of friends and have many significant relationships. Taurus is not always comfortable with that, because they want to be the sole focus of attention.
So, Taurus can get a little bit controlling and possessive, and they may want to force Gemini into a corner — which can be difficult for the friendship side of this relationship.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
This particular relationship can suffer from some flaws that make it more difficult to manifest as a marathon relationship. Often, this relationship is a sprint — something that gets off to a promising, fast start and can provide a great deal of romance, excitement, and fulfillment for both.
But will they actually end up getting down the aisle?
By the time they start thinking about marriage, I feel there’ll be some doubts creeping in. The Taurus may not be 100% sure how committed Gemini are, and Gemini may feel that Taurus could limit their potential. Gemini might sense that rootedness, conservatism, and resistance to change in Taurus, which could make them feel that, long term, the relationship will be a little bit confining.
If they do decide to get married, it can certainly be a promising match, especially if they work together in business — because it’s essential that they have that focus away from romance, something that ties them together in an endeavour where they both apply their respective skills. Gemini brings communication, marketing, and business sense, along with Taurus’s money power and ability to get on with people and close deals.
Sometimes, there are issues around drifting apart over time — having separate friends, separate interests — and one begins to lose faith in the relationship. Over time, a fissure can grow, trust can be damaged, and animosity can build up, making Gemini shut down and Taurus become more obtuse.
During the seven-year itch phase, this couple really have to make a big effort to show each other appreciation, affection, and to work hard to make each other feel secure by working constructively on problems.
Strengths and Challenges
The strengths in this relationship are powerful communication, shared interests, an active social life and adequately showing each other affection. Financially it can be prosperous.
It’s also a stimulating relationship because they are both easygoing, humorous, and signs that like to make the most of life. They can be fairly pragmatic.
The match is cohesive in terms of a blend of personalities — we have a slightly more flexible, ideas-rich Gemini who understands new opportunities, whereas Taurus can create stability, structure, and generate the feeling of acceptance that brings Gemini strength. They can support each other in a spiritual way, and the relationship has the potential for them both to grow in self-worth too.
On the negative side, Gemini can be blindsided by the Taurus temper and may find their arrogance and intransigence insufferable. Taurus can be immensely angered by fence-sitting and perceived speaking with a forked tongue. Taurus may complain that they don’t know where they’re at with Gemini.
Gemini may find Taurus a little bit controlling and possessive, limiting their options. Taurus may feel that Gemini just aren’t as committed to the relationship as they’d like, and they may struggle with trust.
If they start growing apart and neither make an effort to reboot the relationship, it can unravel quickly and bitterly.
Final Verdict
This relationship is excellent for friendship and romance, and it has a good prospect of getting down the aisle — almost an 80% chance — but it stands only a 65% chance of getting past the seven-year itch.
That’s why I give this relationship a 70% rating. There is lots of good communication, affection, and harmony going on. There’s a strong desire to work through problems, but when things go bad, it can be hard for them both to bridge the widening gaps in understanding. Gemini can become more and more evasive, hurt, and unhappy in the relationship, and Taurus can become more angry, belligerent, and stroppy.
The key to this relationship is to keep feeding it, like a tomato plant that needs a lot of nurturing and warmth. Attention to detail is needed in terms of affection and good communication, while always knowing that they do need separate friends and social lives. Working on mutual financial goals can be a strong focus that keeps the relationship vibrant and engaging.
