Taurus dates

When is Taurus season?

Taurus season usually runs from April 20 to May 20. But the Sun keeps its own clock, and it crosses into Taurus at a different minute every year. Here is that moment for each year between 1930 and 2050, and for this year in your own time.

The deep green heart of spring, slow, sure and beautiful.

What Taurus season asks of all of us

After the sprint of Aries, the sky slows us down on purpose. Taurus season belongs to the body: warm bread, long walks, dozing in the sun like a cat. Whatever you planted in spring needs time and steady care now. Stop digging it up to check on it.

A small ritual

Buy yourself one beautiful thing you will use every day. A cup, a candle, a plant. Pleasure is the whole point this month.

Written from the northern hemisphere, where these seasons were first named. South of the equator the weather flips, and the sign keeps its meaning.

Which third of Taurus are you?

The Sun spends about ten days in each third of a sign. These are the dates for 2027, Greenwich time. Your birthday lives in one of them.

First decanApril 20 to April 30

Ruled by Venus

Venus holds both the sign and this first decan, so nothing in you is diluted. Pleasure, beauty and comfort are how you know you are alive, which makes them necessities in your house.

Born April 20?
Second decanApril 30 to May 10

Ruled by Mercury

Mercury sharpens your senses into skill. You notice quality, you learn by doing, and your hands are often wiser than your words.

Born April 30?
Third decanMay 10 to May 21

Ruled by Saturn

Saturn turns Taurus patience into ambition. You build things meant to outlast you, one careful stone at a time.

Born May 10?

Born on the edge?

If your birthday is April 18, April 19, April 20, April 21 or May 19, May 20, May 21, May 22, your Sun sign depends on the year and even the hour you were born. Tap your day to find out which side of the line you landed on.

The Taurus in you

Spring is at its most lush in Taurus season, when blossom gives way to deep green. You arrived when the earth was busy turning promises into roots. You trust what you can hold, taste and keep, and you love the way old trees grow, slowly and for good. Somehow every room you sit in feels a little more like home.

How common is Taurus?

In US birth records from 1994 to 2014, 8.32% of babies were born under Taurus, about 83 in every 1,000. That makes Taurus number 6 of 12, where 1 is the most common.

Why the dates move

Our calendar counts 365 days, but the Sun takes about 365 days and 6 hours to come back to the same point in the sky. So each year it crosses into Taurus roughly six hours later than the year before, until a leap day pulls the calendar back into step. That is why the first and last days of every sign can belong to either side.

Between 1930 and 2050, Taurus season begins as early as April 19, 2048 at 09:17 and as late as April 21, 1931 at 01:39, Greenwich time.
