Gemini Zodiac Sign ♊

What are the dates of Gemini?

The Gemini zodiac sign (often simply called Gemini) runs from 21 May to 20 June. During this period, the Sun, as seen from Earth, moves through the section of the zodiac assigned to Gemini. The sign before it is Taurus, and the sign that follows is Cancer.

Born on a cusp day? The Sun's exact entry into a new sign shifts by a few hours from year to year. Anyone born on 20 May/21 May or on 20 June/21 June, on what is known as the “cusp”, may actually fall into the neighboring sign, depending on their birth year and time. The only way to be certain is an exact calculation using your date, time, and place of birth, for example in a personal Birth Chart Book.

What does the sign of Gemini mean?

As an air sign, Gemini represents thinking, exchange, and connection in astrology. As a mutable sign, it stands for adaptability and change: it mediates and brings things to a close. Gemini is traditionally ruled by Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, making it one of the active signs: outwardly oriented and initiative-driven.

What qualities does astrology associate with Gemini?

Above all these: in the astrological tradition, they are considered the hallmark qualities of Gemini.

Important: these are traditional associations, not a fixed judgment about any person. They describe a tendency that can unfold, offered as an invitation to self-reflection, not as a prediction.

Is your sun sign the whole story?

No. Your star sign only tells you where the Sun was at the moment you were born, and that is something you share with one twelfth of the world's population. Where your Moon falls, which Ascendant was rising, and how the planets relate to one another, that is what makes you truly unique. A personal Birth Chart Book shows you exactly this complete picture: Sun, Moon, Ascendant, all the planets in their houses and the aspects between them, all in a book written solely about you.
