May 14 zodiac sign: Taurus, third decan

If you were born on May 14, your sign is Taurus, the earth sign ruled by Venus: the Sun is in Taurus on this date in every year from 1980 to 2030. The Sun sits about 23° into Taurus on this date, in the third decan, where Taurus's core takes on a Saturn flavour. Here's what the date fixes, and what only your birth time can tell you.

Your sign: Taurus

The fixed earth sign that builds slowly, holds firmly, and refuses to be hurried.

A Taurus Sun makes your identity around steadiness, sensuality, and the long game. You build slowly — and that's a feature, not a bug. While faster signs sprint and burn out, you're still walking, still showing up, and twenty years later you have something built. Comfort matters to you in a way that surprises people who think comfort is shallow: a good meal, a familiar bed, a body that feels at home in itself. You don't apologise for any of it.

The date fixes the Sun; the year and hour fix the rest. A Taurus born May 14 with the Moon in Capricorn runs on a different inner weather from one with the Moon in Taurus: see Taurus Sun, Capricorn Moon. Your rising sign needs the birth time; the twelve Taurus Sun combinations show what each one changes.

In the US (2000–2014), an average of 11,270 babies were born on each May 14, rank 201 of 366 dates; Taurus is number 6 of 12 signs (8.29%). What's the most common zodiac sign?

The Moon on May 14, 1980–2030

Across the 51 years from 1980 to 2030, the Moon at noon UTC on May 14 was most often in Taurus and Libra (6 years each) and least often in Cancer, Leo, and Capricorn (3 years each). Unlike the Sun, the Moon sign depends on the birth year. On May 14, 2026, the Moon stays in Aries the whole UTC day.

In 24 of those 51 years (47%) the Moon changed sign during May 14 itself, so in those years the birth time decides the Moon as well as the rising sign. Cells with an arrow mark them, with the UTC time of the change. The Moon was exactly full on May 14 in 1995 and 2014, and new in 1980, 1991, and 2010.

Find your birth year. One sign means the Moon spent the whole UTC day there; an arrow means it changed sign that day, at the UTC time shown: born before it, the first sign; after it, the second. The Moon sign calculator settles it in seconds; your birth chart adds the rising sign and houses.

Times in UTC: a birth late in the evening in the Americas, or early in the morning in Asia, can fall on the neighbouring UTC date.

Your decan: the third decan of Taurus

Each sign is divided into three 10° decans, and each decan has a sub-ruler that shades the sign's core. Degrees 20–30 of Taurus belong to Saturn: where you face limitation and, through facing it, build mastery. Read it as Taurus with a Saturn accent — the earth core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.

What the date can't tell you

The Sun is one placement out of ten. Your Moon sign changes every two to three days, so Taureans born on May 14 in different years have different Moons; your rising sign changes every two hours and needs a birth time and place. Those two carry most of what people mean by "personality" in a chart.

Common questions

What zodiac sign is May 14?

May 14 is Taurus, the fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. The Sun sits at roughly 23° Taurus on this date, in the third decan.

What decan is May 14?

The third decan of Taurus (20°–30°), sub-ruled by Saturn. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here where you face limitation and, through facing it, build mastery.

What tarot card is May 14?

In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the third decan of Taurus it is the Seven of Pentacles (patience, assessment, long-term reward). It's a birthday card in the same way a sun sign is — one lens, not a verdict.

What Moon sign is someone born on May 14?

It depends on the year, and in 47% of years on the hour too. For example: in 1980, Taurus or Gemini; in 1990, Capricorn; in 2000, Libra; in 2010, Taurus or Gemini; in 2020, Aquarius. Over 1980–2030 the Moon on May 14 was most often in Taurus and Libra. A birth time and place pin it down.

Does everyone born on May 14 have the same chart?

No. They share the Sun in Taurus, but the Moon changes sign every two to three days, the rising sign every two hours, and the outer planets by year. Two people born May 14 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
