April 20 is a changeover day. At noon UTC across the 41 years from 1992 to 2032, the Sun was in Taurus in 38 years and Aries in 3 years.
The Sun moved from Aries into Taurus on April 20 in 23 of those years. The latest time in this span is 20 April 2031 at 06:30 UTC. That minute is the same tropical crossing the zodiac calculator uses. A birth city changes which clock time it falls on.
Taurus dates are April 20 to May 20. It is an earth sign, fixed, ruled by Venus. Aries is the sign just before it. Steady, sensual, hard to rush.
April 20 sits within two days of a sign change on April 19. If the birth was late on this date, check the year in the calculator rather than the printed range.
In 2024 at noon UTC, the Sun on April 20 is in the first decan of Taurus, the early 10 degrees of the sign. The triplicity sub-ruler of that slice is Venus.
The constellation behind the Sun on April 20 is Aries. That is the true place of the Sun in the stars, and it is a separate fact from the astrological sign.
Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, and Mars still need a birth time and place. This page only settles the Sun sign.

Questions
What zodiac sign is April 20?
April 20 can be Taurus or Aries. The Sun's tropical longitude at noon UTC is the same 30 degree sign the zodiac calculator reports for a 12:00 UTC birth. In some years from 1992 to 2032 the sign changes on this date, so the year and the clock decide. Confirm the minute in the calculator.
Is April 20 a cusp birthday?
Yes. A cusp here means the Sun crosses a sign boundary on or near April 20 in the years we checked. The crossing minute comes from the same engine as the calculator, not from a printed range. Your city and clock can place the birth in either sign. The year table lists noon UTC for each year.
What is the April 20 star sign?
People searching for the April 20 star sign usually mean the Sun sign. On this page that is Taurus, an earth sign, fixed, ruled by Venus, in the early decan with Venus as the triplicity sub-ruler. Taurus dates are April 20 to May 20. The constellation behind the Sun is a separate fact.
