May 20 is a changeover day. At noon UTC across the 41 years from 1992 to 2032, the Sun was in Taurus in 40 years and Gemini in 1 year.
The Sun moved from Taurus into Gemini on May 20 in 20 of those years. The latest time in this span is 20 May 2032 at 11:14 UTC. That minute is the same tropical crossing the zodiac calculator uses. A birth city changes which clock time it falls on.
Gemini dates are May 21 to June 20. It is an air sign, mutable, ruled by Mercury. Taurus is the sign just before it. Curious, talkative, always juggling ideas.
May 20 sits within two days of a sign change on May 21. 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 May 20 is in the third decan of Taurus, the late 10 degrees of the sign. The triplicity sub-ruler of that slice is Saturn.
The constellation behind the Sun on May 20 is Taurus. That is the true place of the Sun in the stars, and it is a separate fact from the astrological sign.
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 May 20?
May 20 can be Taurus 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 May 20 a cusp birthday?
Yes. A cusp here means the Sun crosses a sign boundary on or near May 20 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 May 20 star sign?
People searching for the May 20 star sign usually mean the Sun sign. On this page that is Taurus, an earth sign, fixed, ruled by Venus, in the late decan with Saturn as the triplicity sub-ruler. Taurus dates are April 20 to May 20. The constellation behind the Sun is a separate fact.
