Aries and Taurus: the two signs of April 20

Under pressure the tradition turns the two signs into a sprinter and a long-distance walker. Aries is a fire sign ruled by Mars, read as the one that reacts at once: a raised voice or a move made before the facts are in. The flare is described as short, and the sign as quick to forgive. Taurus is an earth sign ruled by Venus, read as the one that goes still. It stays put and refuses to be hurried, which astrologers call stubborn when it is unhelpful and steadfast when it is useful.

Both signs are described as protective of what they have built, by different means. Aries defends by attacking the problem and Taurus by outlasting it. Taurus has the longer fuse in the old texts, and when it runs out the anger is said to arrive late and fade late.

What time on April 20 is still Aries?

The Sun enters Taurus on April 20, 2027 at 3:17 a.m. by an Eastern clock, and every minute of that date before it is Aries. Across those 60 years the entry came before dawn 23 times, 20 came at breakfast time, 13 after lunch and 4 by night. The first of them is 12:29 a.m. (2010) and the last is 8:39 p.m. (1931).

To check your own birthday, hold the hour written on the birth certificate against the minute in your year's row. New York was on daylight saving time on this date from 1987 on, which is why the clock reads one hour later than standard time would.

Is April 20 a Taurus or an Aries?

On average 77.7% of April 20 sat under Taurus by an Eastern clock, and 84.8% by a Pacific one. Behind the averages are 60 split days and 36 whole Taurus days, and not one whole Aries day.

A zone can move the answer, as 2010 shows. Eastern clocks logged the entry to Taurus at 12:29 a.m., while Pacific clocks logged it at 9:29 p.m., a day earlier. An East Coast birth just after midnight on April 20 is Aries; the West Coast birth is Taurus.

Picture a form for a child born on April 20, 2023, filled in years later with the sign left blank. The Sun entered Taurus that morning at 4:13 a.m. Eastern (1:13 a.m. Pacific), so a birth in the early hours is an Aries and a later one a Taurus.

That year is the exception of its decade. Of the 6 years counted for the 2020s, 5 had Taurus all day on April 20, and the next split year is 2027.
