Aries and Taurus
April belongs to two signs. For roughly the first three weeks the Sun moves through Aries, cardinal fire ruled by Mars, and around the 19th or 20th it crosses into Taurus, fixed earth ruled by Venus. The exact changeover depends on the year, so the birthdays near it come with a cusp table on each page.
The Aries part of April runs through the sign’s second and third decans. Early April birthdays carry Leo and the Sun as decan rulers, which adds pride and warmth; mid-April shifts to Sagittarius and Jupiter, and the outlook widens. After the changeover the month slows down. The last ten days fall in the first decan of Taurus, where Venus rules twice, and the tone turns patient, sensual and practical, with a strong taste for comfort and for things that last.

Decans here follow the triplicity system: each sign’s first ten degrees belong to the sign itself, the next ten to the next sign of the same element, the last ten to the third. Each decan’s sub-ruler is that sign’s ruling planet. Calculated by Lunonis from the same ephemeris code as our charts (astronomy-engine, checked against Swiss Ephemeris): geocentric, tropical zodiac, true equinox of date. Times are UTC: add or subtract your time zone’s offset, which can move the change to the day before or after.
