The Taurus cusp boundaries

A Sun sign changes at the actual ingress of the Sun into the next 30° tropical zodiac sector, not at midnight on one permanent calendar date. Birth year, local time, and location are needed to place a boundary birth on the correct side of that instant.

Entering Taurus
The opening boundary is between Aries and Taurus.
Leaving Taurus
The closing boundary is between Taurus and Gemini.
Month-and-day lookup
The conventional range is a useful first pass. The Sun sign finder flags both sides of each changeover for exact follow-up.
