How common is this birthday
June 21 among the 366 days
June 21 averages 11,605 births a day in the US — the 116th most common of the 366 dates, 2.3% above the average day. The deep dips are holidays.
Which sign, by birth year
- Gemini at midday UTC
- Cancer at midday UTC
- Sign changed during the day (UTC)
- 2026
Gemini at midday UTC in 62 years and Cancer in 38: 1952, 1956, 1960, 1964 … 2026, 2028, 2029. In 77 of the years — dotted — the Sun entered Cancer during June 21 itself, so a birth that day can be either sign depending on the hour.
- Gemini
- Cancer
- 2026
The bar is the whole of June 21 in UTC; where its color changes, the Sun crossed into Cancer, so a birth after that minute is Cancer. The time on the right is that minute.
- 16 of these 21 years had the change inside June 21 itself, so the hour of birth decides — from as early as 1:01 AM UTC in 2033 to as late as 4:38 PM in 2015.
- In 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028 and 2032 the whole day was already Cancer: the crossing came on June 20.
- Two sites can give two different signs for June 21 because both print a fixed range, and no fixed range is right in every year — the noon sign here flipped 39 times between 1930 and 2029.

June 21 opens Cancer in 2026: the Sun crossed in at 8:25 AM UTC on June 21, and the Venus decan that starts here lasts until July 1.
Venus softens the sign toward attachment and taste, aiming the same drives at being liked. In its first ten degrees Cancer shows in its rawest form: Gemini has only just handed over, and nothing of the new sign has worn down yet.

The Moon and nakshatra columns change every year because the Moon returns to the same calendar date in a different position — which is why a birth date alone cannot tell you those, and why this table exists.
