A note on April 21 birthdays

Taurus opens its second day here, running 0.3 to 2.6 degrees into the sign. Venus, which rules Taurus, is read in astrological tradition as affection and attraction shown through comfort and the senses rather than in a hurry. This site's points method gives Taurus a good match with Pisces, a sextile worth 5, well behind the trine it shares with Virgo and Capricorn at 8. That trine still leads the chart for this stretch of Taurus.
