The year-by-year table, 1940–2030
Times are universal time — convert your birth time before reading your year.
Ask three sources about April 20 and you’ll hear it filed under Taurus, under Aries, and under “cusp, good luck.” The computed answer is tidier: this is the handover day itself. In most years since 1940 the Sun crosses from Aries into Taurus at some point during April 20 — the hour varies by year — so births before the crossing are Aries and births after it are Taurus. In the remaining years, Taurus holds the day start to finish; none of the years tabulated above keeps the whole day in Aries. The table is the place to look yours up.
Two signs sharing a door
Where the sky changes signs, the archetypes trade tools. The departing Aries Sun hands over urgency, nerve, and the clean first move; the arriving Taurus Sun brings appetite, steadiness, and the refusal to be hurried anywhere. April 20 people tend to run both systems: quick judgments executed at a walking pace, or slow decisions that end in sudden action. It confuses onlookers and works surprisingly well.
Wanting the chase and the harvest
In relationships this date wants contradictory-sounding things and means both: excitement and security, the spark and the settled table. The partners who last are the ones who understand it’s not indecision — it’s a two-part appetite. At work, April 20 shines at transitions: starting things that must then endure, taking over launches and making them livable, converting sprints into systems. It is the rare person equally offended by recklessness and by stagnation.
Stubborn in two directions
The friction is double fixity. Push an April 20 and you may hit Aries defiance or Taurus immovability — different textures, same result: no. The growth edge is noticing which refusal is running and asking whether it chose the moment or just fired. Fire says no to being slowed; earth says no to being moved. Wisdom is telling which one the situation actually deserves.
Start with the table above for your birth year. If the Sun crossed during your day, only the clock settles it — the birth chart calculator reads your exact minute and returns the degree, the sign, and the rest of the chart with it.
The date, answered
What zodiac sign is April 20?
Aries or Taurus — this date sits on the boundary. In 0 of the years from 1940 to 2030 the whole day belonged to Aries; in 22 it belonged to Taurus; in 69 the Sun crossed over during the day. The year table above gives your answer, and a birth chart settles it to the minute.
What time does the sign change on April 20?
In years when the ingress lands on April 20, it falls between 00:35 and 23:31 universal time. In the other years the whole day is one sign. Convert your birth time to UTC before reading the table.
Which sign should I read?
Check your birth year in the table. If your year is a split year, the deciding fact is your birth time converted to universal time — or skip the table and compute your chart, which reads the Sun's exact degree for your birth moment.
What degree is the Sun on April 20?
Between 29°31′ Aries and 0°55′ Taurus at noon universal time, depending on the year — the calendar drifts about a quarter degree per year against the Sun and resets on leap years. Your exact degree needs your birth date, year, and time.
