Taurus is fixed and earth. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Sun sign | Taurus in every year from 1930 to 2030 | | Decan | Taurus decan 1 (Venus) | | Sun's position at noon UTC | About 4° Taurus | | Taurus · element · modality · ruler | Earth · Fixed · Venus | | Birthday number | 24 → 6 | | Life Path by birth year | 1960: 8 · 1970: 9 · 1980: 1 · 1990: 11 · 2000: 3 · 2010: 4 · 2020: 5 | | Chinese zodiac | After Lunar New Year, so the animal is the birth year's own | | Born on this day | Barbra Streisand (1942), Philippe Pétain (1856), Shirley MacLaine (1934) | ## Personality of an April 24 birthday Comfort and care meet on April 24. Twenty-four reduces to 6, the number of home and responsibility, and the Sun stands about four degrees into Taurus, the fixed earth sign of Venus, in its Venus decan. Traditionally this describes a gifted host, someone who expresses love through good food, a warm room and steady presence. By noon UTC on April 24, the Sun has normally reached roughly 4° of Taurus. That places the date in the Taurus decan that astrologers give to Venus, the first of three. With Venus as both ruler and sub-ruler, the first decan of Taurus is traditionally seen as the sign at its most sensuous and steady. Birthdays from about April 20 to April 30 land here. The emphasis is on comfort that has been earned: texture, taste, music and the slow pleasure of things done well. This doubled Venus tone is often linked with loyalty and a calm, grounding presence that friends lean on. It can also make change feel like an imposition rather than an invitation. Those born in this decan tend to flourish when they treat flexibility as another form of care, not a threat to it. ## Numerology of the April 24 birthday A birthday on the 24th reduces as 2 + 4 = 6. The compound combines the 2's emotional attentiveness and the 4's reliability, feeding into the 6's devotion to home and community. Those born on this day are often described as dependable carers: the one who brings soup, fixes the shelf and remembers what you said last month. Stability in family life tends to matter a great deal to them. As a secondary number, the 24 points towards a gift for creating safe, well-run spaces. Accepting help in return is often their quiet area of growth. Because the year enters the Life Path calculation, the same April 24 birthday leads to different paths across generations, among them 1 for 1980, 11 for 1990, 3 for 2000 and 4 for 2010. Some birth years on this date reach the master number 11. The Life Path calculator does the reduction for any year. ## April 24 in context: the season, Chinese zodiac and famous birthdays April birthdays arrive in full northern spring, with lengthening days and fast growth; in the southern hemisphere the month belongs to mid-autumn and harvest. Aries carries most of April, handing over to Taurus around April 19 or 20. As month 4, April brings numerology's number of structure, steadiness and hard work, a grounding counterweight to the quick fire of the month's early birthdays. April 24 is the 114th day of the year (115th in a leap year). In most years Gemini season is under way by May 21, 27 days after this birthday. Chinese astrology is straightforward for an April 24 birthday: the new year began weeks earlier, so the birth year's own animal applies. April 24 is also the birthday of Barbra Streisand (1942), Philippe Pétain (1856) and Shirley MacLaine (1934). ## Frequently asked questions ### What zodiac sign is April 24?
