Cancer dates are June 21 to July 22. July 20 falls in the late part of Cancer. It is a water sign, cardinal, ruled by Moon. Protective, sensitive, loyal to home and family.

July 20 sits within two days of a sign change on July 22. If the birth was late on this date, check the year in the calculator rather than the printed range.

In 2024 at noon UTC, the Sun on July 20 is in the third decan of Cancer, the late 10 degrees of the sign. The triplicity sub-ruler of that slice is Neptune.

The constellation behind the Sun on July 20 is not the same every year. In this span it is Cancer and Gemini. The calculator names the one for a specific birth year.

Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, and Mars still need a birth time and place. This page only settles the Sun sign.

Questions

What zodiac sign is July 20?

July 20 is Cancer. These pages read the Sun at noon UTC, which is the same tropical sign the zodiac calculator reports for a birth at 12:00 UTC. From 1992 to 2032 that noon figure stays in Cancer. Use a birth time in the calculator if you were born near a nearby changeover.

Is July 20 a cusp birthday?

No. Noon UTC on July 20 stays in Cancer for every year checked. A sign change still sits nearby, on July 22, so a late birth on this date can be worth a calculator check. The first and last days of June 21 to July 22 are the usual edge.

What is the July 20 star sign?

People searching for the July 20 star sign usually mean the Sun sign. On this page that is Cancer, a water sign, cardinal, ruled by Moon, in the late decan with Neptune as the triplicity sub-ruler. Cancer dates are June 21 to July 22. The constellation behind the Sun is a separate fact.
