Frequently asked questions about star signs in June
How many zodiac signs are there in June?
June has two star signs: up to 20 June it is Gemini (starting 21 May), and from 21 June onward it is Cancer (until 22 July). On the two cusp days, the birth year and time of birth determine the sign.
Which star sign is born on 21 June?
According to standard calendar dates, Cancer begins on 21 June. However, the exact moment of the transition can shift by up to a day depending on the birth year and time. Anyone born on the 20th or 21 June could therefore also be Gemini. The only way to be certain is to calculate using the birth year and, ideally, the time of birth.
Why do some lists give a different date for the June star sign?
The Sun does not change signs at the same hour every year: the transition varies by up to a day because the calendar year and the solar year are not exactly the same length. That is why calendar lists round differently. What always counts is a calculation based on the specific date of birth, including the year and, ideally, the time.
