Born on the Cusp?

The zodiac sign transition in April happens around April 20, when the Sun moves from Aries into Taurus.

If you were born within a day or two of this date, you are considered “born on the cusp.” The exact moment the Sun changes signs varies slightly each year, so your true Sun sign depends on your birth year and time — not just the date.

Cusp-born individuals often feel they relate to traits of both signs. While astrologically you have only one Sun sign, the influence of the adjacent sign can colour your personality, especially if other planets in your chart fall in that neighbouring sign.

To determine your exact Sun sign if you were born near the cusp, use a precise birth chart calculator that factors in the year and time of birth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What zodiac sign is April?
April has two zodiac signs: Aries (March 21 – April 19) and Taurus (April 20 – May 20). Your Sun sign depends on your exact date of birth within the month.
What if I'm born on the cusp?
If you were born on the boundary date between two signs (the "cusp"), your Sun sign depends on the exact year and time of your birth. The Sun transitions signs at a specific moment each year, which can vary by a day. To find your exact sign, use a birth chart calculator that accounts for the year and time of birth.
What's the difference between sun sign and moon sign?
Your Sun sign (what most people call their "zodiac sign") is based on the Sun's position at birth and represents your core identity and ego. Your Moon sign is based on the Moon's position and governs emotions, instincts, and your inner self. Western astrology emphasises the Sun sign, while Vedic astrology (Jyotish) primarily uses the Moon sign (Rashi). For a complete picture, both are important.
