Dates use the tropical zodiac. "Part of sign" splits each sign into three parts of about ten days (decans), ruled by the sign itself and then the next two signs of the same element.
April 1 to 19: Aries
Aries is a fire sign ruled by Mars. People born on these dates tend to be courageous, determined and energetic, and can struggle with being impatient and impulsive. Read the full Aries profile or see this month's Aries horoscope.
April 20 to 30: Taurus
Taurus is a earth sign ruled by Venus. People born on these dates tend to be reliable, patient and devoted, and can struggle with being stubborn and possessive. Read the full Taurus profile or see this month's Taurus horoscope.
April cusp dates
The shaded rows above (April 18, April 19, April 20 and April 21) sit next to a change of sign. The Sun moves into the next sign at a slightly different hour each year, so on these days the sign you see in a table may not match your own chart. Your birth time and place settle it.
