April 20 Zodiac Sign

People born on April 20 are Aries or Taurus.

Most zodiac date tables put April 20 in Taurus, but the Sun changes sign at a slightly different moment each year. In 183 of the 201 years from 1900 to 2100 it moved from Aries into Taurus during April 20 somewhere in the world, and in the other 18 the whole day was Taurus. So a April 20 birthday can be either sign: the year, the hour and the place decide.

What Taurus is like

Symbol: The Bull
Element: Earth
Modality: Fixed
Ruler: Venus
Usual dates: April 20 to May 20

Taurus is the zodiac's steady hand. A fixed earth sign ruled by Venus, Taurus builds: slowly, deliberately, and to last. There's an unhurried quality here that can read as slowness from the outside and feels, from the inside, simply like refusing to be rushed into something that isn't right yet.
