Western zodiac
Taurus
Taurus Apr 20 – May 20 (approximate) · Earth · Fixed
Traditional ruler: Venus
You build slowly and keep what matters.
Taurus energy is read as steady, sensory and loyal — you may value comfort, routine and things built to last. Friends tend to lean on your calm; the growth edge is flexibility when plans change without warning.
Dates are approximate — sign transitions vary slightly by year and time; your exact sign is calculated astronomically.

Taurus as Sun, Moon and Rising
The same sign plays three different roles depending on where it sits in a chart:
- ☉ Sun — your core identity
- A core built on constancy — worth is something you accumulate, not perform.
- ☽ Moon — your emotional needs
- You need physical comfort, routine and time; rushed feelings are unfelt feelings.
- ↗ Rising — how you meet the world
- You come across as calm and unhurried — people relax around you before they know why.
