Sun in Taurus: what it means
The Sun is in Taurus from about April 20 to May 20. Taurus is a fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus. Earth signs deal in what is practical and can be touched. Fixed signs keep things going.
What a Taurus Sun is like
Steadiness is your signature. You build a life the way some people build a stone wall, one well-placed piece at a time, and you trust what you can touch, taste and count on. Once you have chosen a person, a routine or an opinion, you stay with it long after others have wandered off. You notice quality, from bread to bedsheets, and resent being hurried. Change you did not choose can feel like an insult, and you may dig in simply because someone pushed.
Greatest strength
Others relax around you because you do what you said you would, at the pace you promised.
Where it stretches you
Loyalty and plain inertia can look alike from the inside, and learning to tell them apart is your work.
Taurus Sun in love
Affection comes through touch, cooking and turning up reliably year after year. You are slow to commit and slower to let go, and possessiveness can creep in when you feel unsure.
Taurus Sun at work
Work that produces something tangible and lasting suits you: building, growing, crafting, managing resources. You outlast faster colleagues, though you may resist a new method until it has proved itself twice.
Is Sun in Taurus really yours?
The Sun enters Taurus around April 20 and leaves around May 20. The exact minute moves from year to year, so if you were born within a day or two of either date, a calendar cannot tell you which side you are on. A calculated chart can.

What the Sun means in a chart
In a birth chart the Sun describes the centre of your character: what you are working to become, where you want to be seen, and what restores your energy. It is the sign most people mean when they say "my sign". It is also only one of about a dozen points in a chart, which is why two people with the same Sun sign can be so different.
One placement is never the whole picture. A full reading weighs the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign, every planet, the houses they fall in and the angles between them. You can read a complete sample reading to see how the pieces fit together.
