What the season is about
Taurus season follows the rush of Aries with a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. The Sun spends about a month here, from late April into May.
It is a month for sticking with things. Keep going with what started in spring, enjoy what is in front of you, and notice what you value enough to look after.
The risk is stubbornness. Steady is good; stuck is not, so stay open to small changes.

Questions, answered
When does Taurus season start?
The Sun enters Taurus on April 20, 2027, 07:17 UTC and leaves on May 21, 2027, 06:18 UTC, about 31 days later. The page shows both moments in your own time zone.
Why do the Taurus dates change from year to year?
The usual Taurus dates are an average. The calendar year is not a whole number of days long, so the moment the Sun crosses into Taurus drifts by some hours each year and can land on a neighbouring date, depending on your time zone as well.
What if I was born on the first or last day of Taurus season?
Your Sun sign depends on the exact moment of your birth, not on the average dates. A birth chart with your birth time settles it.
What does “Reading confidence 40%” mean?
It says how specific a reading is. A line written for a Sun sign alone, with no date or birth time, carries 40%. It is not the chance that something happens.
