Taurus Dates at a Glance

When Does Taurus Season Start and End?

Taurus season begins on April 20 and ends on May 20. The Sun moves into Gemini on May 21.

You may see these dates listed a day earlier or later on other sites. That isn’t an error. The Sun doesn’t change signs at the same clock time every year, so the exact start and end can shift by about a day depending on the year and your time zone. For most people, April 20 – May 20 is correct.

Taurus Birthday Dates

Anyone with a birthday from April 20 through May 20 is a Taurus. That covers the last eleven days of April (April 20–30) and the first twenty days of May (May 1–20).

Taurus Cusp Dates

A cusp is the changeover point between two signs.

• Aries–Taurus cusp: around April 16 – 22. April 20 is the first day of Taurus.
• Taurus–Gemini cusp: around May 18 – 24. May 20 is the last day of Taurus.

You’re never “half and half.” You’re one sign or the other. If your birthday is on the boundary, the only way to be sure is to check the exact moment the Sun changed signs in your birth year, since it can differ by a day and an hour depending on the year and your birth time.

Each sign splits into three decans of roughly ten days:

• First decan: April 20 – April 29
• Second decan: April 30 – May 10
