April vs May Taurus differences in traits?

While April and May Tauruses may have slight differences, they share the main Taurus traits. Due to their fixed earth natures, they tend to be loyal, materialistic, stable, financially secure, honest, and sometimes stubborn. Also, being ruled by Venus brings out a highly sensual and physically affectionate side that is very tactile. They enjoy luxury, the best of everything, and having luxurious houses filled with velvet and satin and lots of pillows and fine art.

All zodiac signs are broken into three sections, called decans. The decans are parts of that zodiac sign that are essentially co-ruled by other planets. So for example, Taurus is ruled by Venus and April 21-30 (aka the first 10 degrees of the sign) is also ruled by Venus. Whereas May 1- 10 ( degrees 11- 20 ) is Venus and Mercury and May 11-21 (degrees 21-29) is Venus and Saturn. Each of these decans show “the different kinds” of Taurus placements. Venus/Venus makes your traditional archetype of Taurus more prominent— food loving, sensual, pleasure seeking. Venus/Mercury shows the more artistic, “hands in the earth” type of Taurus— perhaps more focused on money and crafting. Venus/Saturn are your more stubborn and strong willed Taurus’— the kind that will wait out things if there is something valuable to be gained.

All Tauruses (born between April 20 and May 20) share the traits of their zodiac sign, but there are some subtle differences between those born in April and those born in May. Starting off Taurus season, April Tauruses tend to exhibit the classic, stereotypical traits of this earth sign. They’re driven, loyal, sensual, steady, and stubborn. As it gets closer to Gemini season, Tauruses begin to take on some of the traits of this mutable air sign. As a result, May Tauruses are often a bit more social, outgoing, and flexible than April Tauruses, while still maintaining the classic Taurus traits as a foundation.
