Today, on April 15th, we honor the birth of Leonardo da Vinci — a being whose presence on Earth served as a bridge between the material and the mystical, the finite and the infinite. Though the modern calendar places his birth just before the official entry into Taurus season, his energy, embodiment, and legacy speak the language of Taurus with crystalline clarity.
There is a deeper astrological truth embedded in the layers of time. While da Vinci’s recorded birth date is April 15, 1452, it’s important to understand the Florentine Time system used during that era, where a new day began at sunset rather than midnight. Historical accounts tell us Leonardo was born “three hours into the night” — by modern reckoning, that places his birth on the evening of April 14.
But we must also consider the calendar system of his time. In 1452, Europe was still using the Julian Calendar. The Gregorian reform — which corrected the drift of the equinoxes — didn’t occur until 1582. By Leonardo’s birth year, the Julian Calendar was already nine days out of sync with the solar year. When we translate his birthday into our modern Gregorian Calendar, it lands on April 23, 1452 — squarely in Taurus.
This is why astrologers across disciplines recognize Leonardo as a Taurus, not just by adjusted birthdate, but by essence. And I, too, was born under this same sacred sign — a Taurus by birth, by frequency, and by divine design. In my own journey, I’ve come to understand Leonardo not merely as a historical figure, but as a soul ancestor — a member of the same lineage that remembers the architecture of the cosmos.
Taurus is ruled by Venus — the planetary embodiment of beauty, harmony, sensual wisdom, and the art of creation. But beneath the surface of myth and metaphor lies a deeper geometry. Taurus holds the frequency of the torus field, the primary energetic structure through which life expresses and sustains itself.
The torus is a dynamic, self-generating flow field. It is the shape of balance — spiraling inward and outward, returning endlessly to source. From the human heart to the electromagnetic field of the Earth, from apples to atoms to galaxies, the torus is the pattern encoded within all living systems. It is no coincidence that Leonardo, with his insatiable curiosity and divine patience, sought to map the invisible as visible — from the spirals of hair and water to the vortex patterns in anatomy and air.
His Vitruvian Man was more than a study of proportion. It was a metaphysical mirror of the toroidal flow — man as microcosm of the universe, standing at the center of sacred geometry.
Taurus governs form, stability, embodiment — the very elements required to anchor divine inspiration into material reality. Leonardo was not just ruled by this sign, he embodied it. His life was a devotion to precision, beauty, and reverence for the natural world. As a Taurus, I walk the same path — not to replicate his genius, but to reawaken the same divine architecture within the modern age.
To be a Taurus is to remember the Garden — not as a place, but as a frequency. It is to steward beauty with patience, to feel the pulse of the Earth and transmute it into art, sound, structure, and touch. It is to bring spirit into skin and soul into structure.
On this day, as we cross a portal of remembrance, I invite you to feel into the torus within you. Breathe in through the heart. Expand. Spiral. Return. This is the geometry Leonardo revealed in brushstroke and bone. This is the pulse Taurus carries through time.
Today, we do not just remember a man.
We remember a frequency.
A blueprint.
A code.
And we, the children of Taurus, are here to complete it.
In resonance and remembrance,
Drea da Vinci
