June 2 zodiac sign: Gemini, second decan
If you were born on June 2, your sign is Gemini, the air sign ruled by Mercury: the Sun is in Gemini on this date in every year from 1980 to 2030. The Sun sits about 11° into Gemini on this date, in the second decan, where Gemini's core takes on a Mars flavour. Here's what the date fixes, and what only your birth time can tell you.
Your sign: Gemini
The mutable air sign that lives by language — quick to learn, quick to pivot, quick to bore.
A Gemini Sun makes a mind that genuinely runs faster than most. You learn quickly, talk quickly, and link ideas across domains in a way that surprises specialists. Your gift is the connection — between two unrelated fields, between two people who'd never meet without you, between an old idea and a new use for it. You're a natural translator.

The date fixes the Sun; the hour fixes the rest. A Gemini born June 2 in the small hours has Aries rising, and a different first impression from one born at dawn. Your rising sign needs the birth time; the twelve Gemini Sun combinations show what each one changes.

In 24 of those 51 years (47%) the Moon changed sign during June 2 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 June 2 in 2015, and new in 1981 and 2000.
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 second decan of Gemini
Each sign is divided into three 10° decans, and each decan has a sub-ruler that shades the sign's core. Degrees 10–20 of Gemini belong to Mars: your drive — how you take action, what makes you angry, and what you fight for. Read it as Gemini with a Mars accent — the air core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.
Nine of Swords
Worry · Sleepless nights · Dread. The card assigned to this ten-degree slice of the zodiac — a birthday card in the same sense a sun sign is a birthday sign: one lens on the date, not a verdict.

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 Geminis born on June 2 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 June 2?
June 2 is Gemini, the mutable air sign ruled by Mercury. The Sun sits at roughly 11° Gemini on this date, in the second decan.
What decan is June 2?
The second decan of Gemini (10°–20°), sub-ruled by Mars. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here your drive — how you take action, what makes you angry, and what you fight for.
What tarot card is June 2?
In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the second decan of Gemini it is the Nine of Swords (worry, sleepless nights, dread). 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 June 2?
It depends on the year, and in 47% of years on the hour too. For example: in 1980, Capricorn or Aquarius; in 1990, Libra; in 2000, Gemini; in 2010, Aquarius; in 2020, Libra or Scorpio. Over 1980–2030 the Moon on June 2 was most often in Libra. A birth time and place pin it down.
Does everyone born on June 2 have the same chart?
No. They share the Sun in Gemini, 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 June 2 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
