Aries and Taurus: the two signs of April 19

Seen through decisions at work, the two signs run at different speeds. Aries belongs to cardinal fire and answers to Mars. Old texts describe it as quick to commit: it picks a direction on the first good argument and leaves the follow-up to someone else. Taurus is a fixed earth sign belonging to Venus, and the tradition gives it the opposite temperament. It wants the numbers and a night to think, then holds the decision for years.

The same split shows up in how each sign is said to finish. Aries gets credit for launching and blame for dropping things at the halfway mark. Taurus gets credit for seeing a project through at a steady pace and blame for staying with a plan after the evidence has turned.

What time does April 19 turn into Taurus?

That makes the Aries part of April 19 the long one even in a split year. A birth ahead of the earliest of those minutes is Aries whatever the year; a birth in the final minutes of the day is Taurus in every split year.
