Sun enters Taurus on Monday 20 April 2026, 01:39 UTC, which is in your time zone. It leaves for Gemini on Thursday 21 May 2026, 00:37 UTC, after 31 days.
The Sun's stay in Taurus begins on 20 April 2026 at 01:39 UTC, when it crosses over from Aries, and lasts 31 days, until it enters Gemini on 21 May 2026 at 00:37 UTC. Taurus is an earth sign of fixed quality, ruled by Venus. The Sun moves forward through the whole sign without any retrograde period.
The tradition treats Taurus as the sign of the body, the senses, resources built by steady effort, and the things that last. Astrologers read the Sun here as an emphasis on patience, comfort and building slowly, with Venus as ruler adding a taste for beauty and pleasure. The shadow side is often described as stubbornness or reluctance to change. A practical suggestion for these weeks is to tend to something physical and ordinary, such as a garden, a meal or a worn-out tool.
