Taurus dates are April 20 to May 20. May 18 falls in the late part of Taurus. It is an earth sign, fixed, ruled by Venus. Steady, sensual, hard to rush.
May 18 sits within two days of a sign change on May 20. 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 May 18 is in the third decan of Taurus, the late 10 degrees of the sign. The triplicity sub-ruler of that slice is Saturn.
The constellation behind the Sun on May 18 is Taurus. 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 May 18?
May 18 is Taurus. These pages read the Sun at noon UTC, which is the same tropical sign the zodiac calculator reports for a birth at 12:00 UTC. From 1992 to 2032 that noon figure stays in Taurus. Use a birth time in the calculator if you were born near a nearby changeover.
Is May 18 a cusp birthday?
No. Noon UTC on May 18 stays in Taurus for every year checked. A sign change still sits nearby, on May 20, so a late birth on this date can be worth a calculator check. The first and last days of April 20 to May 20 are the usual edge.
What is the May 18 star sign?
People searching for the May 18 star sign usually mean the Sun sign. On this page that is Taurus, an earth sign, fixed, ruled by Venus, in the late decan with Saturn as the triplicity sub-ruler. Taurus dates are April 20 to May 20. The constellation behind the Sun is a separate fact.
