June 20 zodiac sign: Gemini or Cancer?
If you were born on June 20, you're Gemini or Cancer depending on the time: Gemini before the Sun enters Cancer, Cancer after. The Sun crosses from one sign to the other on this date in 6 of the 51 years from 1980 to 2030, and the minute shifts from year to year (2026: June 21, 08:25 UTC). At noon UTC it's Gemini in 100% of years; the exact minute of the change for every year is below.
Gemini or Cancer? Check your year
The Sun's entry into Cancer shifts by a few hours from year to year. Find your birth year, convert your birth time to UTC, and compare: born before the time shown, you're Gemini; after it, Cancer. Years missing from the list had the crossing on a neighbouring day (the Sun was in one sign for the whole of June 20).

Your sign: Gemini (or Cancer)
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 20 in the early afternoon has Libra 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 20 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 20 in 1997 and 2016, and new in 1993.
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 third 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 20–30 of Gemini belong to Sun: the core of who you are — your conscious identity, your will, your essential self. Read it as Gemini with a Sun accent — the air core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.
Ten of Swords
Ending · Rock bottom · Release. 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 20 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
Is June 20 Gemini or Cancer?
Both are possible. On June 20 the Sun moves from Gemini into Cancer in most years, at a time that ranges from 20:01 UTC to 23:59 UTC UTC across 1980–2030 (in some years the crossing falls on the neighbouring day). Convert your birth time to UTC and compare it with the crossing for your year in the table above — before it you're Gemini, after it Cancer.
What zodiac sign is June 20?
June 20 is a cusp day between Gemini and Cancer; at noon UTC it falls in Gemini in 100% of years between 1980 and 2030. Your birth year and hour decide it.
What decan is June 20?
The third decan of Gemini (20°–30°), sub-ruled by Sun. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here the core of who you are — your conscious identity, your will, your essential self.
What tarot card is June 20?
In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the third decan of Gemini it is the Ten of Swords (ending, rock bottom, release). 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 20?
It depends on the year, and in 47% of years on the hour too. For example: in 1980, Virgo or Libra; in 1990, Taurus or Gemini; in 2000, Aquarius; in 2010, Libra; in 2020, Gemini. Over 1980–2030 the Moon on June 20 was most often in Virgo. A birth time and place pin it down.
Does everyone born on June 20 have the same chart?
No. They share the Sun in Gemini or Cancer, 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 20 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
