Where in Taurus this falls
April 21 falls on day 2 of the Mercury decan (20–April 30, 2026).
- Taurus at midday UTC
- Sign changed during the day (UTC)
- 2026
Taurus at midday UTC in all 100 years, but in 2 of them — 1931 and 1935 — the Sun changed sign during April 21 itself (UTC), so a birth in the first hours of that day could still be Aries.

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 11 with 12 years; every other number turns up in 11 years. And this date can carry a master number: 11 in 12 of those years — kept whole rather than reduced. Why 11, 22 and 33 are treated differently →
Why the answer almost always holds
April 21 sits 1 day past the start of Taurus and reached 1°23′ this year — close enough to the start of the sign that the hour starts to count: in 2 of those 100 years a birth early in the day (UTC) had the Sun still in Aries. At midday it is Taurus in every year tested, so on this date the question worth asking is the birth time, not the birth year.
