June 21 is a changeover day. At noon UTC across the 41 years from 1992 to 2032, the Sun was in Cancer in 27 years and Gemini in 14 years.
The Sun moved from Gemini into Cancer on June 21 in 34 of those years. The latest time in this span is 21 June 2031 at 13:17 UTC. That minute is the same tropical crossing the zodiac calculator uses. A birth city changes which clock time it falls on.
Cancer dates are June 21 to July 22. It is a water sign, cardinal, ruled by Moon. Gemini is the sign just before it. Protective, sensitive, loyal to home and family.
June 21 sits within two days of a sign change on June 20. 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 June 21 is in the first decan of Cancer, the early 10 degrees of the sign. The triplicity sub-ruler of that slice is Moon.
The constellation behind the Sun on June 21 is not the same every year. In this span it is Gemini and Taurus. 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 June 21?
June 21 can be Cancer or Gemini. The Sun's tropical longitude at noon UTC is the same 30 degree sign the zodiac calculator reports for a 12:00 UTC birth. In some years from 1992 to 2032 the sign changes on this date, so the year and the clock decide. Confirm the minute in the calculator.
Is June 21 a cusp birthday?
Yes. A cusp here means the Sun crosses a sign boundary on or near June 21 in the years we checked. The crossing minute comes from the same engine as the calculator, not from a printed range. Your city and clock can place the birth in either sign. The year table lists noon UTC for each year.
What is the June 21 star sign?
People searching for the June 21 star sign usually mean the Sun sign. On this page that is Cancer, a water sign, cardinal, ruled by Moon, in the early decan with Moon as the triplicity sub-ruler. Cancer dates are June 21 to July 22. The constellation behind the Sun is a separate fact.
