Born on May 3: Taurus
On May 3, the Sun is in Taurus: that is your Sun sign, the core of your identity, your vitality and the way you shine.
Your sign: Taurus
With the Sun in Taurus, you build your life the way a garden is grown: with patience, pleasure and a quiet trust in the passing of time.
Born under the Sun in Taurus, you embody the quiet strength of the zodiac. Venus rules your sign and gives you a deep connection to matter, beauty and all things concrete. You love what lasts: friendships of thirty years, the house you furnish room by room, the craft you refine over a lifetime. Your identity rests on reliability: when you say yes, you mean yes. That steadiness reassures everyone around you, who know they can count on you in a storm. Someone with the Sun in Taurus doesn’t seek to shine fast; they seek to build something that will still be standing long after they’re gone.
Your decan: 2nd decan of Taurus
Mercury steps into Venus’s earthy realm: the second-decan Taurus thinks, calculates and shares what they know with remarkable common sense.
Born between about April 30 and May 10, on a date that shifts slightly with the year and your time of birth, you belong to the second decan of Taurus, sub-ruled by Mercury. Taurean stability is enriched here with intellectual quickness: you’re the Taurus who reads, compares, negotiates and explains. Your intelligence is concrete and geared toward what’s useful, and you have a gift for making complicated things accessible. More mobile than the first decan, you love learning practical skills, tinkering, gardening with method, and your curiosity always shows up through tangible results.
