June Zodiac Sign: Gemini or Cancer?
The June zodiac signs are Gemini (approximately June 1–20) and Cancer (approximately June 21–30). Birthdays near the change need a calculation using the birth year and time.
The June solstice marks the start of Cancer in the tropical zodiac. It is one astronomical event worldwide, even though local clocks and seasons differ.

June 20 or 21: Gemini or Cancer?
In the tropical zodiac, Cancer begins at the June solstice. Its exact time varies from year to year, and local time zones can put the transition on different dates. Treat June 20–22 as birthdays to check with a chart, rather than assuming that every June 21 birth is Cancer.
Check your Sun sign with your birth details
Our free birth-chart calculator uses your full birth date, local birth time, and birthplace. If you do not know the time and were born near the sign change, treat the Sun-sign result as uncertain. Choosing a default time cannot settle a boundary birthday.

June’s solstice marks the start of astronomical summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Both refer to the same astronomical event. A tropical Cancer Sun does not become a different sign because the person was born in the Southern Hemisphere.
