A note on April 22 birthdays

Day 3 of Taurus covers 1.3 to 3.5 degrees of the sign. In astrological tradition, earth signs are read as pairing well with water signs, part of why Cancer sits among Taurus' better matches on this site's chart, a sextile worth 5. Taurus' fixed mode is read in the same tradition as holding a relationship steady once it starts rather than rushing its pace toward something new. Virgo and Capricorn still outrank that sextile with a trine at 8.
