Born on May 20
A cusp birthday. In most years the Sun crosses from Taurus into Gemini during May 20, so people born this day are one or the other depending on the hour. At noon UTC it's Taurus in 100% of years.
Taurus or Gemini? Check your year
The Sun's entry into Gemini 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 Taurus; after it, Gemini. Years missing from the list had the crossing on a neighbouring day (the Sun was in one sign for the whole of May 20).

Your sign: Taurus (or Gemini)
The fixed earth sign that builds slowly, holds firmly, and refuses to be hurried.
A Taurus Sun makes your identity around steadiness, sensuality, and the long game. You build slowly — and that's a feature, not a bug. While faster signs sprint and burn out, you're still walking, still showing up, and twenty years later you have something built. Comfort matters to you in a way that surprises people who think comfort is shallow: a good meal, a familiar bed, a body that feels at home in itself. You don't apologise for any of it.

Your decan: the third decan of Taurus
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 Taurus belong to Saturn: where you face limitation and, through facing it, build mastery. Read it as Taurus with a Saturn accent — the earth core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.
Seven of Pentacles
Patience · Assessment · Long-term reward. 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.

The Sun is one placement out of ten. Your Moon sign changes every two to three days, so Taureans born on May 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 May 20 Taurus or Gemini?
Both are possible. On May 20 the Sun moves from Taurus into Gemini in most years, at a time that ranges from 12:09 UTC to 23:44 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 Taurus, after it Gemini.
What zodiac sign is May 20?
May 20 is a cusp day between Taurus and Gemini; at noon UTC it falls in Taurus in 100% of years between 1980 and 2030. Your birth year and hour decide it.
What decan is May 20?
The third decan of Taurus (20°–30°), sub-ruled by Saturn. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here where you face limitation and, through facing it, build mastery.
What tarot card is May 20?
In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the third decan of Taurus it is the Seven of Pentacles (patience, assessment, long-term reward). It's a birthday card in the same way a sun sign is — one lens, not a verdict.
Does everyone born on May 20 have the same chart?
No. They share the Sun in Taurus or 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 May 20 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
