The type of Taurus you are can vary depending on your date of birth. According to astrology, if you were born between April 20 and May 20 you belong to this sign, and although you have its general characteristics, your personality is not the same as that of all Tauruses.
All zodiac signs have ruling and co-ruling planets. The former are the ones that imprint the main traits on the character, and the latter play a secondary role, but also influence the behavior of those of the same sign.
The ruling planet of Taurus is Venus, the one of love, romance, pleasure and values, while its co-rulers are Mercury and Saturn, the one of communications and discipline, respectively. However, it does not mean that all Tauruses are influenced by all these planets. What does it depend on?
The signs of the zodiac have 3 subdivisions known as decans. Each decan is governed by a different planet, affecting the energy they express outwards, they explain in Bustle.
Each sign encompasses 20 degrees in the zodiac. The first 10 degrees belong to the first decan, the second 10 to the second, and the third 10 to the third decan. The sun travels one degree per day, which means that Tauruses born in April belong to the first decan ruled solely by Venus, while most of those born in May are from the second and third decans, which are ruled, in addition to Venus, by Mercury and Saturn.
This means that the type of Taurus you are depends on your month of birth.
