He has:
Gemini Sun and Ascendant
Taurus Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter
Leo Mars
Cancerian Saturn

He also has a 12th house stellium which includes Sun,Moon,Mercury,Venus and Jupiter plus six asteroids and POF. The funny thing is that his chart and house positions are almost identical to mine, except for a couple of his planets in Taurus and the fact that I don't have quite as many planets in the 12th.

So I get him in a very deep way because I can see so much of myself being mirrored back to me, but at the same time I sense a reserve about him and I wonder if this is partly due to his Mercury and Venus in Taurus.

What is a Gemini with Venus in Taurus like?? I don't think I've ever met one until now. I feel like he might want to ask me out but I also feel like it will never happen.

Your charts make for a nice, natural affinity. With all that Taurus and 12th house energy, he's probably very shy. With the shyer types, like Taurus, they seem to consider themselves doing their share of the work by merely showing interest and an attraction to someone. That's as forward as they get, and they expect the other party to actually make the move.

That's me, that's my brother. He has:

Saturn in Taurus in 12th
Venus in Taurus in 12th CNJ ASC
ASC Taurus
Mercury in Gemini in 1st
Sun in Gemini in 2nd

The Taurus influence makes Gemini more serious, sensible and grounded. What's he like? Well, he's funny and witty, but you wouldn't call him flighty. His college friends laughed about their first impression of him because they thought he looked quite scary but he's alright really, good fun when you get to know him. He's quite a private person (12th house) so I don't know much about his past relationships although we are quite close. He's been married a long time and has three kids. Oh, he has Moon SQ Saturn. I never expect gushing.

I have:

Sun in Gemini in 7th/8th cusp
Ceres in Gemini in 8th
Venus in Taurus in 7th
Mercury in Taurus in 7th
Saturn in Taurus in 7th

I'm generally quite outgoing but again, the Taurus influence tones the lighter side of Gemini down. I am also in a long term relationship, in which I take a lot of responsibilty as it involves helping with his business affairs. My husband expects me to be all-around competent and sensible. That suits me, to be honest.

Your friend has the Taurus stellium in the 12th? If he is reserved and serious it makes sense. There is probably plenty going on when you get to know him, and at home it is likely to come out a lot more.

Our charts are sooooo similar, it's bizarre.

Him ----------------Me

ASC ~ Gemini ---------- Gemini
Sun ~ Gemini (12) -------Cancer (2)
Moon ~ Taurus (12) -------Taurus (12)
Mercury ~ Taurus (12) -------Gemini (1)
Venus ~ Taurus (12) -------Cancer (2)
Mars ~ Leo (3)---------Leo (3)
Jupiter ~ Taurus (12)--------Taurus (12)
Saturn ~ Cancer (3)--------Leo (3)

And then the rest is the same sign and house placements, except that his Neptune is techinically in H6 conjuncting the DESC while mine is in 7. And his Vertex conjuncts my NN, and his Moon conjuncts my SN (as well as my own).

So I felt *alot* from (and about) this guy, nevermind the weird synchronicities. And I'm pretty sure I'm not even ready to have a relationship but at the same time I can't stop thinking about him.

I can sense he's private and that's cool because generally I am too, but not so much as he is, I suspect.

I have heard that Venus in Taurus can make you move slooooowly and Jane, you just confirmed that, so maybe my Mercury in Gemini is just being impatient? I actually feel a tiny bit flaky for even starting this thread, but the whole experience really affected me... So are you saying that I would have to be the one who intiates things?

Gut instinct - stick with it. He is probably worth knowing. If you manage to bag him you will have a man you can rely on who won't mess you about.

For a 12th house guy with Moon SQ Saturn that WAS gushing.

Was that really gushing? Hilarious. So the question remains: should I give him some time and see if he initiates anything? Or should I just assume that it's never going to happen if left up to him??

Instead, I'll just give you a hearty thanks for your anecdotal evidence. I have to say, the possibility of even just being his friend appeals to me. He seems so interesting and deep and he makes me laugh which is priority number one for me. Plus, he's clever and that turns me on!

Well, back to square one.

Either way, I've decided that I'm going to make it clear that at the very least I want to be his friend. And for now, despite the fact that I have the libido of an adolescent boy, I will make do. After all, what's my Moon in Taurus good for, if not that?

I do live in N. America. I thank you for giving such a general place as an option for an answer. "I do indeed live in the Western Hemisphere!"

We were actually just discussing sleep habits over in free for all. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/009879.html

Clever and deep. I can see the appeal. Of course go with whatever you're comfortable with, but keep in mind that some guys need the woman to be the initiator, and he does seem to have an astrological profile that fits that.

In fact, as I mentioned here a long time ago, the first email my ex ever sent me was a link to 2 Tiffany engagement rings, asking me which one I liked better. But I think it's clear how that turned out, so I can admit that it may be time for something a little different.
