Horoscope for April 23: Taurus

As the second sign of the zodiac, Taurus is an interesting mix of youth and stability. This is a fixed earth sign, practical at times, perhaps stubborn. However, Taurus is also ruled by Venus, the planet of the senses, love, creativity, and pleasure. This makes Taurus passionate about the finer things in life and how hard they work to have them.

All earth signs are hardworking and generally down to earth people. Taurus, in particular, is often associated with being down-to-earth, dependable, and deep-rooted. But, as the second sign of the zodiac, they have an innate youthfulness that shows in interesting ways. We will discuss this in detail later.

As a Taurus on April 23, you kicked off Taurus season. Did you know the 30 degrees of the astrology chart for each sign? These wedges can be further broken down into 10 degree fragments called decans? When it comes to the decans of Taurus, these 10-degree increments may bring you minor planetary influences from other earth signs. Confused? Now let's break down how decans work in more detail.

Taurus

Depending on your birthday, your Sun sign may be influenced by other planets. Decans often cause sun signs to behave differently from one another, although the entire natal chart also helps with this. Here's how the Taurus zone breaks down, depending on your date of birth:

• The first zone of Taurus: the Taurus zone . Ruled by Venus and most iconic Taurus. The approximate time span is from April 20th to April 29th.
• The second interval of Taurus: Virgo interval . Ruled by Mercury and influenced by the Virgo personality. The approximate time span is from April 30 to May 9.
• The third interval of Taurus: Capricorn interval . Ruled by Saturn and influenced by the Capricorn personality. The approximate time span is from May 10th to May 20th.

As a Taurus on April 23, you belong to the first decan of Taurus. This means you are under the single planetary influence of Venus, and it represents a Taurus personality well! But what effect does Venus have on a Taurus personality? Let's review all that Venus might represent right now.

April 23 Zodiac: Ruling Planets

Venus is the planet of pleasure, love, art and abundance. This manifests in Taurus mainly through the senses. Venus is a sensual planet, both literally and spiritually. Taurus take this sensuality to the extreme, as they are completely drawn to things that can be enjoyed sensually. Touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing — all five of these senses are important to Taurus, who use them to live their daily lives to the fullest.

Taurus born on April 23 are likely to prioritize physical pleasure over other types. This is about the senses and also promotes the earth element well. Because Taurus are down to earth, they appreciate art and beauty, but may need to abandon their stable and honest nature to pursue it. This is still an earth sign, after all, and a fixed one at that!

Venus has a lot to do with abundance, especially money. It's no secret that Taurus enjoy wealth. Most globe signs do this (all types of green are important to them!). The planetary influence of Venus can lead April 23 Taurus to seek luxuries, especially those that come with working with both hands. Speaking of hands, there is another extremely important factor for Taurus on April 23: numerological influence.

April 23: Numerology and other associations

Numerology can tell us a lot about someone and their personality. The birthday is April 23rd, so we have to do some math first. When we add 2+3, we get five, which is an extremely important number for a Taurus. The number five naturally represents our senses, as well as the number of our extremities. Naturally sensitive from the start, Taurus born on April 23 can be even more sensitive and aggressive in this regard.

The number five also represents flexibility. This may help the typically fixed Taurus nature find flexibility and more variety in their lives, something the average Taurus can benefit greatly from. Taurus born on April 23 may have many hobbies, circle of friends, and possibly even a career, as they are more flexible and sensual. Creative endeavors may come easier for them thanks to Venus and their use of all the senses.

There is no doubt that Taurus is related to the Bull. This shows up not only in their astrological symbols (can you see the horns?), but also in the Taurus personality. Bulls are hardworking and dynamic forces capable of unbelievable violence — but only when provoked. Taurus is about the same. They are very easygoing people until threatened.

Bulls charge only when they have a good reason, and so does this stalwart earth sign. Getting a Taurus to move or change can be very difficult; they are a fixed sign, not a whim of inertia or choice. However, if you repeatedly irritate a Taurus, or annoy something they take very seriously, be prepared to confront someone you probably don't know and don't want to face again!

April 23 Zodiac: Personality and Traits

Like a bull, many Taurus are content unless prodded in one direction or the other. This is a fixed sign that brings stability, dependability, stubbornness, and an inherent slowness. Because, while Taurus is one of the most hardworking signs of the zodiac, it often takes them a long time to change, even when their lives desperately need it.

As the second sign of the zodiac, Taurus represents an older child, possibly a toddler or school-age child. Their previous sign, Aries, taught them the importance of the ego and how to take each day to heart, and Taurus takes that to heart. This is a sign that loves our material world, and they use all their senses to enjoy it to the fullest. It's also a sign that values everyday life, no matter how simple or routine it may be. This is especially evident in Taurus on April 23rd.

Routine is an important word for a Taurus. That's not to say they need a routine to thrive. But it's a sign that you may find it easy to stick with one thing forever. While this may be all a Taurus needs in order to feel fulfilled or happy, it does mean that change is always tough for them, no matter how big or small. Taurus can be a little possessive about what they value because they probably put a lot of time into making them.

Taurus Strengths and Weaknesses for April 23

Speaking of possessiveness, Taurus is very possessive. This usually only manifests when a Taurus sees someone or something as a threat to what they love, value, and be close to. While often necessary, it does surprise people when Taurus shows off this possessive and angry side. For better or for worse, their emotions run deep.

Because April 23 Taurus are so grounded in the physical world that the emotional world can be a bit of a mystery to them. At the very least, Taurus born April 23 may prefer to keep things on the surface rather than delve into the depths. However, this only intensifies their insecurities with the people in their lives. No one expected someone so stubborn and focused to get angry, but every bull has horns!

While April 23 Taurus may be preoccupied with their work, family, and possessions, it can be important to this individual to bring more disruption and discomfort into their lives. Any Taurus can benefit from a change in their routine and values, but those born on April 23 may be flexible enough, thanks to the number 5, to truly embrace such change.

Zodiac Sign for April 23: Career and Interests

Given the fixed nature of Taurus in general, many Bulls will pick a job and stick with it for a considerable amount of time. This is someone who cares less about career climbing than about career maintenance. If you need an employee who shows up on time, works hard, and comes home without a fuss, Taurus is a great choice. April 23 Taurus, in particular, will have enough of a hands-on attitude in their careers without being bossy.

However, if a Taurus finds that they are in a career that no longer serves them well, or may not be a good fit for their skills, it is important to change. All earth signs are hard workers, but this is an easy skill to leverage. Taurus people born on April 23 are strongly influenced by Venus, so a job that allows them to earn a decent salary is important.

Given the influence of Venus, Taurus born April 23 may also value a career in the arts or creative fields. This is even more so if the job allows them to work with their hands. Anything to do with the senses is very important to a Taurus because it helps them feel most connected to their work. Having a tangible, tangible product means the world to this sensual earth sign.

Some potential Taurus career paths might include:

• any type of cooking position
• Pottery, sculpture, or solid art making
• dance or physical expression of creativity
• clothing or furniture making
• work with children, such as babysitting or teaching positions

April 23 Zodiac Relationships

Taurus is a very determined person to be in a relationship with. However, Taurus can take a long time to start dating, romantic interactions, or even conversations. While April 23 Taurus may crave physical contact and intimacy, it can be difficult for this fixed earth sign to simultaneously turn on and start changing their lives. Romantic changes can be especially difficult to navigate.

However, Taurus will use their keen senses to find someone they might fall in love with. It can take many steps to get to the point of falling in love with a Taurus, but this is a sign that deep down knows when it feels right. Once they identify a person to care for, they focus most of their energy on that person. Because, despite the undercurrents, Taurus have tireless energy about the things they love.

It's important to know that Taurus doesn't change easily. That's why they're likely to be drawn to someone who can already see the future, someone who's an emotional match and frees them from worrying about their stubborn Taurus nature. Taurus values simplicity and the everyday, which usually means they are drawn to someone who is calm and relaxed.

April 23 Zodiac Compatibility

Given that April 23 Taurus are strongly influenced by Venus, they are likely to be attracted to beautiful people. Or at the very least, they might be looking for someone who goes well together, someone who might have a luxury handbag or jacket. A cluttered wardrobe certainly has its place, but Taurus will prefer someone who looks like he's earning a fortune without being overly indulgent.

Fixed earth signs don't look for people who challenge them, good or bad. While Taurus on April 23 may be more flexible than others, this is still a stubborn sign. While compromise is always possible in a relationship with a Taurus, arguing with this particular sign is a difficult path. The important thing is never to ask a Taurus to change too much, too quickly, if you ask them to!

With such a deep-rooted person, there is a deep-rooted love. Taurus are very romantic and can hardly put their love down on the one they love. This is definitely a sign to keep the relationship going when they might be better off letting go. That's why it's important to show your independence and honest affection in a relationship with a Taurus.

Horoscope for April 23

Considering how deeply rooted this earth sign is in the soil, Taurus pairs best with other earth signs. Plus, a water sign might help this stubborn Bull open up and find more connection with their emotional world. While the entire natal chart associated with your April 23 birthday will tell you more about who you might be a good match for, here are some classic Taurus pairings:

• Capricorn . The Capricorn-Taurus partnership is one of the most classic pairings in the zodiac, and it works on multiple levels. As a cardinal earth sign, Capricorn naturally understands Taurus' commitment to hard work and a routine. While Capricorns can be a bit bossy with Taurus at first, these two earth signs fall in love easily through lavish dinners, practical home furnishings, and mutual understanding.
• Pisces . Pisces and Taurus are a mutable water sign, and with enough patience, they can be a perfect match. While Taurus may need help opening up emotionally, Pisces is caring and patient enough to get them through. They are also very flexible, which might help considering how stubborn the common bull can be!
• Virgo . Another earth sign, Virgo understands the importance of simple physical pleasure. As mutable as Pisces, Virgo may be an especially good match for April 23 Taurus, given their giving nature and dedicated work ethic. While it's important for these two earth signs to learn how to express their feelings, Virgos usually don't mind the rigidity of the average Taurus.
