The short version
If you were born April 30 to May 10, you are Taurus sharpened by Virgo: grounded and sensual, now precise and quietly capable. You are the most practical, detail-minded, hardworking Taurus, the one who actually finishes what they start.
What makes Taurus decan 2 different
All three Taurus decans share the same core, but yours carries a second influence: Virgo, ruled by Mercury. That sub-ruler does not replace your Taurus nature, it colors it, which is why a Taurus born April 30 to May 10 can feel noticeably different from one born earlier or later in the sign.
Taurus decan 2 in love
In relationships, this is the Virgo-flavored Taurus. You show love through reliability and the small, useful, thoughtful things.
The shadow side
You can over-worry and turn critical when life gets stressful. Knowing the pattern is the first step to not being run by it.
The dates in this decan
Taurus decan 2 covers these birthdays: April 30, May 1, May 2, May 3, May 4, May 5, May 6, May 7, May 8, May 9, and May 10. These boundaries shift by a day or two from year to year as the Sun moves, so if you were born right at the edge, your exact birth chart is the only way to know for certain which decan, or even which sign, you fall in.
Famous people born April 30 to May 10
Famous people born April 30 to May 10 include Sid Vicious, Kenan Thompson, Tim McGraw, Wes Anderson, Joseph Heller, Eva Perón, and First Lady of Argentina.

Why this is your sun-sign baseline, not your full chart
Your decan sharpens the picture, but it is still only the Sun. Your Moon (how you feel), your rising sign (how you meet the world), and your Venus and Mars (how you love and act) can change everything.
