When Does Taurus Start and End?

Taurus season begins on April 20 and ends on May 20. You may see these dates listed a day earlier or later on other sites — that’s not 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 almost everyone, April 20–May 20 is exactly right. Born right on the edge? See the cusp section below.

Were You Born on the Taurus Cusp?

Born right at the edge of Taurus? You were born on a cusp — the changeover point between two signs. April 20 sits on the Aries–Taurus cusp; May 20 sits on the Taurus–Gemini cusp. Astrologically, there’s no such thing as being “half and half” — you’re fully one sign or the other. The only way to know for certain is to check the exact moment the Sun changed signs in your birth year, since a boundary birthday can fall under either sign depending on the year and hour you were born.

The Three Decans of Taurus

Every sign divides into three decans of roughly ten days, each with a sub-ruler that shades the core personality:

  • First decan (April 20–29): ruled twice over by Venus — the purest, most classic Taurus expression.
  • Second decan (April 30–May 10): shaded by Mercury (Virgo), adding practicality and sharper attention to detail.
  • Third decan (May 11–20): shaded by Saturn (Capricorn), adding ambition and a stronger drive for long-term security.

Taurus Personality in Brief

As an earth, fixed sign ruled by Venus, Taurus is grounded, loyal, and sensual — steady and devoted to comfort and security.

  • Strengths: reliable, patient, devoted, practical, a calming presence for others
  • Weaknesses: stubborn, possessive, resistant to change, can be self-indulgent

Taurus Compatibility Snapshot

Taurus pairs most naturally with fellow earth signs Virgo and Capricorn — shared values around stability and steady effort — plus water signs Cancer and Pisces, who bring emotional depth Taurus can nurture and protect. Taurus and Scorpio, sitting opposite each other on the wheel, often create an intense, magnetic pull precisely because they’re so different — Scorpio brings depth and transformation, Taurus brings steadiness. Taurus and Cancer build one of the zodiac’s most naturally comfortable homes together. Leo and Aquarius tend to need the most patience as matches, since their love of change and spontaneity can unsettle Taurus’s need for routine.
