How common is this birthday
April 20 among the 366 days
April 20 averages 10,904 births a day in the US — the 58th least common of the 366 dates, 3.9% below the average day. The deep dips are holidays.
Which sign, by birth year
- Taurus at midday UTC
- Aries at midday UTC
- Sign changed during the day (UTC)
- 2026
Taurus at midday UTC in 68 years and Aries in 32: 1930, 1931, 1933, 1934 … 1995, 1999, 2003. In 76 of the years — dotted — the Sun entered Taurus during April 20 itself, so a birth that day can be either sign depending on the hour.
- Taurus
- Aries
- 2026
The bar is the whole of April 20 in UTC; where its color changes, the Sun crossed into Taurus, so a birth after that minute is Taurus. The time on the right is that minute.
- 11 of these 21 years had the change inside April 20 itself, so the hour of birth decides — from as early as 12:04 AM UTC in 2034 to as late as 9:42 AM in 2015.
- In 2016, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2024, 2025, 2028, 2029, 2032 and 2033 the whole day was already Taurus: the crossing came on April 19.
- Two sites can give two different signs for April 20 because both print a fixed range, and no fixed range is right in every year — the noon sign here flipped 37 times between 1930 and 2029.

April 20 opens Taurus in 2026: the Sun crossed in at 1:39 AM UTC on April 20, and the Mercury decan that starts here lasts until April 30.
Mercury wires the sign for analysis and talk — quicker, more articulate, less settled. In its first ten degrees Taurus shows in its rawest form: Aries has only just handed over, and nothing of the new sign has worn down yet.

The Moon and nakshatra columns change every year because the Moon returns to the same calendar date in a different position — which is why a birth date alone cannot tell you those, and why this table exists.

The most frequent is 1 with 12 years; every other number, 11 included, turns up in 11 years. And this date can carry a master number: 11 in 11 of those years — kept whole rather than reduced. Why 11, 22 and 33 are treated differently →
Why the answer moves
There is no third sign and no blend — at your moment of birth the Sun was one side of the boundary or the other. For April 20 that came out Taurus in 68% of years and Aries in 32%. The noon sign switched 37 times between 1930 and 2029; the last three switches fall in 2000, 2003 and 2004.
