Born on a cusp: Taurus-Gemini
Taurus is the second Sign of the Zodiac, and moves forward from Aries's self-focus to begin to explore the world physically. Gemini, the third Sign of the Zodiac, moves beyond the physical exploration of Taurus to examine the world through intellect. Taurus/Geminis tend to be richly sensual, enjoy the good things in life and are fascinated with gathering as much information as possible. Their facility as communicators is unmatched. Taurus/Geminis display great imagination and tend to be very expressive, both physically and verbally.
The astrological symbol of Taurus is the Bull; Gemini is the Twins. The term 'bull-headed' applies to Taureans in both its positive and negative connotations, and Taurus exemplifies the Fixed quality assigned to it. Like twins, Geminis often have a dual nature and are skilled at seeing both sides of a problem, but they may also be fickle and restless. They are changeable and sometimes noncommittal. In this way, Gemini exemplifies the Mutable quality assigned to it. The Taurus/Gemini is a pair of bull-headed twins. They are adaptable and able to tackle multiple tasks simultaneously, and they know how to reason with people. When it comes to meeting goals they are also among the strongest Signs because of their reliable persistence.
Taurus is ruled by the Planet Venus. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus (and her Greek equivalent, Aphrodite) was the goddess of love, beauty and pleasure. She represented joy, happiness and appreciation of beautiful things. On the negative side, her appreciation for sweets and luxury could result in overindulgence. Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury. In ancient Roman mythology, Mercury (and his Greek equivalent, Hermes) was the messenger god. He was associated with travel and transportation. He was a communicator, quick-witted and inventive, but he could also be a smooth-talker and get bored easily. A Taurus/Gemini individual is most likely a brilliant conversationalist. Mediating or speechwriting would be excellent outlets for these people, as they possess the gift of beautiful, soothing speech that can produce harmony and good feelings. Taurus/Geminis are charming and congenial, and they often have many friends and acquaintances in all areas of their lives. These people have learned to focus and use their intellect; they tend to be very successful.
