The April sky

Daylight is growing fastest now, by two to three minutes a day at mid-northern latitudes. Aries, a cardinal fire sign, sits at the sharp end of that. Taurus, a fixed earth sign, arrives when the ground is warm enough to plant. The pairing of sign and season is the tradition's own design.

Easter ties April to the zodiac in a way few holidays do. It is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the equinox date, so it always lands between March 22 and April 25. That puts it in Aries, or in the first few days of Taurus, every year without exception.

Born in April: what each sign means

♈ Aries, April 1 to 19

April 1 to 9 continues the Leo stretch begun on March 31, which tradition warms up with some theatre. April 10 to 19 passes to Sagittarius, the part of Aries that wants a horizon and a new plan.

♉ Taurus, April 20 to 30

April 20 to 29 is Taurus unmixed, the most stubborn and sensual stretch. From April 30 Virgo shapes the decan, bringing practicality and a fondness for getting details right.

The April birthstone is Diamond; see April birthstones.

The April cusp, and what it means for your birthday

For Aries and Taurus the line stays blurry for a few days. April 20 is Taurus on the table and Aries only if the birth came before the Sun's move that year.

Aries and Taurus are close to opposite in pace, one acting first and the other waiting until it is sure, so the answer is worth getting right.

Across 2000 to 2050 (51 years) the Sun entered Taurus on these UTC dates: April 19 in 29, April 20 in 22. Counting clocks from UTC-12 to UTC+14 over 1800 to 2099, the change can reach any date from April 18 to 21.

April zodiac questions

What zodiac signs are in April?

April holds two zodiac signs: Aries from April 1 to April 19 and Taurus from April 20 to April 30. The Sun's exact move between them shifts by up to a day from year to year, so the four or five dates around the change are cusp dates.

What zodiac sign is April 4?

Aries. The sign keeps every date from April 1 through April 17 without exception, and the 4th lands in its Leo-flavoured stretch.

Is the April birthstone tied to Aries or Taurus?

Neither. Diamond follows the month, so it applies to both signs. Each sign has its own stones in other traditions, but the calendar list does not use them.
