Frequently asked questions about star signs in April
How many zodiac signs are there in April?
April has two star signs: up to 19 April it is Aries (starting 21 March), and from 20 April onward it is Taurus (until 20 May). On the two cusp days, the birth year and time of birth determine the sign.
Which star sign is born on 20 April?
According to standard calendar dates, Taurus begins on 20 April. However, the exact moment of the transition can shift by up to a day depending on the birth year and time. Anyone born on the 19th or 20 April could therefore also be Aries. The only way to be certain is to calculate using the birth year and, ideally, the time of birth.
Why do some lists give a different date for the April star sign?
The Sun does not change signs at the same hour every year: the transition varies by up to a day because the calendar year and the solar year are not exactly the same length. That is why calendar lists round differently. What always counts is a calculation based on the specific date of birth, including the year and, ideally, the time.
