Taurus or Gemini traits

If your Sun is in Taurus: You build. Comfort, steadiness and things that last matter more to you than novelty, and people trust you because you do not change your mind for show. Your growth edge is letting go before something stops working.

If your Sun is in Gemini: You connect. Ideas, people and conversations are your element, and you learn by talking things through. A Gemini Sun is happiest with two projects and a question nobody has answered yet.

Your Sun sign is one part of a chart. The Moon and the rising sign, which need the time and place of birth, say as much about you. StarMap is for entertainment and self-reflection.

Signs are computed from the Sun’s position with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris, for every year from 1900 to 2026. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata. A sign is shown beside a name only when it holds for the whole of the birth date; where it does not, both possibilities are given. How to read a birth chart.
