The Aries–Taurus Cusp: Born Between Two Signs
If you were born between Apr 17 – Apr 22, your birthday sits on the Aries–Taurus cusp, a narrow window where the Sun crosses from Aries into Taurus. Cusp natives blend traits of both signs.
The Power Cusp Personality
The Aries–Taurus cusp blends Fire and Earth, the cardinal drive of Aries meeting the fixed quality of Taurus. Natives often move between the two signs’ signature moods depending on context, which can feel paradoxical to onlookers but coherent internally.
Because each cusp day’s exact sign depends on your birth year and time, cusp natives benefit from running a precise birth-chart calculation. Your Moon, Rising, and personal planets often tip the balance one way or the other.
