Taurus · 2nd decan

Born on May 10, your Sun sits in Taurus — Grounded, sensual, and deeply reliable. More precisely, May 10 falls in the 2nd decan of Taurus, sub-ruled by Mercury — which threads quickness of mind, curiosity and a verbal edge into the core Taurus drive.

Personality & character

If you were born on May 10, you are grounded, sensual, and unhurried — built to value what lasts over what merely glitters, and to hold steady when everything around you is in flux.

As an earth sign you're grounded and practical — you trust what you can build, touch and rely on. Your fixed modality makes you a stabiliser — you hold, sustain and see things through.

As a 2nd-decan Taurus, your Taurus nature is coloured by a second influence — sub-ruled by Mercury. Mercury lends quickness of mind, curiosity and a verbal edge to the core Taurus character, shading how the sign's themes actually show up in your day-to-day temperament.

Your Sabian symbol

Every degree of the zodiac carries a Sabian symbol — a single vivid image, set down in 1925, that colours that exact point of the sky. A May 10 birthday places your Sun near Taurus 20°, whose symbol is:

“Wisps of clouds, like wings, are streaming across the sky”

Subtle higher forces responding to and uplifting one's emerging aspirations.

May 10 in love

In love you are loyal and physical, slow to commit but immovable once you do. You show devotion through steadiness and the comforts of a shared life rather than grand declarations.

May 10 in career

At work you are patient and persistent, the one who finishes what flashier people abandon. You build value methodically and resist being rushed — which makes your results unusually durable.

How we work this out

We use the tropical zodiac — the same Sun-sign system Western astrology runs on — placing each date by the standard, widely published sign-date ranges. Capricorn is the one that wraps the New Year, from December 22 to January 19.

Each sign spans three decans of roughly ten days. We assign decan sub-rulers by the Chaldean triplicity method: a sign's three decans are ruled, in order, by the planets of the three signs sharing its element, starting with the sign itself. That sub-ruler is what makes an early-decan and a late-decan reading of the same sign genuinely differ.

Boundary dates sit on a cusp. We place every date under one sign by the standard ranges, but if you were born on a first or last day we flag it — because the exact year and time you were born can shift the Sun into the neighbouring sign.

We don't list famous people born on each day. We'd rather give you the astrology than a scraped name dump — so every page is built from your date's sign, decan, and ruling planets, not a celebrity index.
