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.
Personality
April 23 birthday personality
People born on April 23 are Taurus, and the sign is read as steadiness, comfort and a long attention span. Outlasts everyone. Builds slowly and does not abandon what is half-finished.
The 23rd reduces to 5 and joins 2 (empathy) with 3 (expression). Numerologists read it as freedom with a strong social sense: those born on this day love variety, travel and change, but they also read people well and communicate easily. Birthday number 23 in full →
At work
Excellent at consolidation and anything requiring persistence. Poor at improvising under sudden change.
Stone and flower
The April birthstone is diamond (colorless), and the month's flowers are the daisy and sweet pea.
