The Characteristics of those born on the
Taurus-Gemini Cusp
Cusp dates: May 19 to May 23
Known as: The Cusp of Energy
Firstly, what does “Born on the Cusp” Mean? According to the Cambridge English Dictionary the definition of “cusp” is:
the dividing line between two very different things
So, in this case the Cusp is the dividing line between the Zodiac Signs of Taurus and Gemini. The personalities of Taurus and Gemini are very different, as is the case of all the star signs who follow each other in the Zodiac Wheel. As someone who is herself Born on the Cusp of Taurus-Gemini, I know first-hand how this can lead to a lot of internal conflict. Read on to see what I mean!
How the Birth Date influences those born on the Taurus-Gemini Cusp
Taurus has more influence on those born on May 19, 20 and (often, but not always) 21.
Gemini is sometimes the main influence for May 21 or 22 – or sometimes it will be Taurus.
However, those born on May 23 will definitely be Gemini with Taurus influence.
The Element of Taurus is Earth and for Gemini it is Air. Earth signs are definitely more conservative and less adventurous than the Air Signs.
However, the question is will the Element of Earth, smother the lightness of Air?
Taurus is practical
Taurus is consistent and can bring a conservative influence to their relationships.
Ruled by Venus, the Zodiac Sign of the Bull loves beauty and friendship.
Gemini is less practical
Thanks to the influence of their ruling planet Mercury, Gemini is all about communication.
They are also adaptable and curious.

Well this really does sound very much so like me but Im just not sure which more I have of each.
I have felt like one day I’m one and the other day I’m another.
ive never understood how you can be in the middle till now.
but I am really right in the middle…
people have a lot of problems working out if my birthday is the start or end of a sign.
I was born on the 21st of may.
Hi Amber. If you can tell us the year of your birth, the time you were born and the location, then we can let you know whether the sun was in Taurus or Gemini when you were born. My birthday is also May 21st and the year I was born the sun had just moved into Gemini at the time of my birth.
I was born 21May 1969 at around noon time in Lancaster, NH. Please tell me my true sign. Thank you! I found your articles very interesting and informative.
Hi Darcy, I am so pleased you found my article interesting and informative 🙂
According to my calculations, you were born at around 16:00 GMT on May 21, 1969. On that day the sun moved into Gemini at 05:50 so that is your Sun Sign. However, I would expect you to also have some Taurean characteristics and I discuss this in my article about those born on the Cusp of Taurus and Gemini. I would be really interested to hear if you identify with this.
By the way, my birthdate is the same as yours and I too am a Gemini, but some days I am more like a Taurus!
I was born may 21 1988 at 5:23 pm in ohio. Can you tell me my sign. Most days i feel as if i have the gemini trait, bit there are times i feel as if i am the Taurus trait. Also, what other signs am i compatable with?

Hello. My birth date is Saturday 24th May 1969 at around 6pm in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. I’ve never really read a great deal about being born on the cusp of Gemini and Taurus until now. It is interesting and enlightening! Can you tell me my true sign please?
Hey AJ…Most of the time I feel more Gemini than Taurus…I was born on May 20th 1967 at 9:25 am ….I definitely have that youthful side to my personality and I can get bored and restless pretty easily…with everything…relationships can get to be a problem if I am at the boredom stage…What do you think I really am- Gemini or Taurus? Thank you!
Hi, I recognise myself completely now. I was born on 20 May at around 7 pm. My emotions are extremes there is no middle ground. I’m either highly charged or very low. Interesting how we are all different though…
Don’t forget VENUS plays a minor role in love – many Taurus have Venus in Gemini, Aries, and Pisces (Venus in Taurus would make you feel more Taurean even on this cusp). Just a tip for those who may believe it’s their sun-sign only affecting your personality. Moon, Mercury, Mars, etc also play important roles.
