Patient, dependable and pleasure-loving — the sign of steadiness.

- April 20 – May 20
- Element
- Earth
- Ruling planet
- Venus
Taurus wants what it builds to last. For this Venus-ruled earth sign, the feeling of security comes before everything, which is why it dislikes rushed decisions and rarely reverses one once made.
Taurus's most visible trait is the value it places on tangible pleasure: a good meal, a comfortable home, a beautiful fabric. This isn't shallowness — it's a solid bond with the world made through the senses.

Love and relationships
Taurus moves slowly in love but bonds deeply. It shows affection through consistency rather than grand declarations, and expects steadiness in return; uncertainty is what wears Taurus down most.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Taurus dates?
April 20 – May 20. Taurus falls where spring settles in and the ground starts producing. Born between April 19–21 or May 20–21, your sign may come out as Aries or Gemini depending on the hour.
What does the Taurus ruling planet mean?
Taurus is ruled by Venus — the planet of value, pleasure and attachment. That is why Taurus turns toward what is beautiful, comfortable and touchable. The same planet explains the possessive streak, and why Taurus rarely lets go once it has committed.
