Zodiac sign for every day in May
On the days marked „Cusp“, the Sun moves from one sign into the next. Then your exact birth time decides which zodiac sign applies.
The May zodiac signs in detail
Sensuality, steadfastness, dependability. As a Taurus, you are the grounding center of the zodiac. Venus makes you a connoisseur of pleasure, and your fixed nature gives you the strength to stay where others walk away.
Curiosity, communication, versatility. As a Gemini, you are the messenger between worlds. Mercury makes you a master of words and information.
Born in May: two zodiac signs, one month
If you were born in May, you belong either to Taurus or to Gemini — two signs that could hardly be more opposed. Taurus stands for groundedness: steadiness, sensual pleasure, and a calm holding on to what has proven its worth. Gemini, by contrast, is air in motion: curious, communicative, and constantly open to the new, often keeping several things in view at once. If your birthday falls close to May 21, the exact birth time decides which sign you are assigned to, because the shift does not happen uniformly at midnight but in the precise moment the Sun leaves one zodiac sign — depending on the year and the hour, that can make all the difference.
