June 20 Zodiac Sign

People born on June 20 are Gemini or Cancer.

Most zodiac date tables put June 20 in Gemini, but the Sun changes sign at a slightly different moment each year. In 107 of the 201 years from 1900 to 2100 it moved from Gemini into Cancer during June 20 somewhere in the world, and in the other 94 the whole day was Gemini. So a June 20 birthday can be either sign: the year, the hour and the place decide.
