Are you sure you are Taurus and Cancer?

Sun-sign dates shift by a day or two from year to year, so the ranges printed on most sites — including the conventional Apr 20 – May 20 in the summary above — are a rounded average, not the real boundary. Taurus season has begun on 2 different calendar days since 1930, and the Sun last actually entered Taurus on the conventional date in 2023. If either birthday falls near a boundary, check the exact year below — and if it is the boundary day itself, the free birth chart settles it to the minute.

Taurus is Fixed and Cancer is Cardinal, so they start, sustain and change direction on different timetables. On the elements: Earth + Water — complementary elements that naturally energize each other. Taurus is ruled by Venus and Cancer by the Moon, which is where their instincts about safety and risk diverge. Their lowest score is 80%, so that is the area to work on deliberately.

Their love score (85%) runs ahead of their friendship score (80%), so the attraction arrives faster than the companionship; the long-term work is building the friendship underneath it.
