Taurus is the bull that finishes the ploughing Aries started. It rules the throat and the senses, which is why the sign is linked with physical comfort, with a strong attachment to routine and with a very long fuse before it moves.
The dates above are the conventional ones and hold for most years. The Sun actually crosses into Taurus at a slightly different moment each year — by up to a day — so a birth on April 20 or the day before can land on either side depending on the year and the hour.
If the birthday is on that edge, check it with the zodiac lookup using the exact time and place rather than a printed range.
