All Cancer season times, 1950–2050
Each tropical sign occupies 30° of ecliptic longitude, starting at the March equinox. We search the Sun’s apparent geocentric longitude with Astronomy Engine, using the same calculation as our Sun sign calculator. Times are rounded to the nearest minute; they are calculated estimates, not second-level guarantees. See our methodology and published JPL comparison.
All dates in these tables use UTC. A local birthday can fall on a different UTC date. For a personal answer near a boundary, enter your birth date, time and place in the calculator. At the transition the new sign begins; a person has one tropical Sun sign.
Tropical signs are equal sectors tied to the seasons, not the unequal astronomical constellations. Precession changes their alignment. These tables do not give IAU constellation crossing dates or sidereal signs.
June has two zodiac signs: Gemini until about June 20 and Cancer from about June 21. The Sun’s exact entry into Cancer falls on June 20–22 (UTC) between 1950 and 2050.
June 21 is usually Cancer, but in some years the Sun enters Cancer later that day or the next day. Born on June 20–22? Check your birth time with the Sun sign calculator.
June 19 is Gemini in every year from 1950 to 2050; the Sun never enters Cancer that early.
The Sun enters Cancer at a different time each year, and the calendar date depends on the time zone. Lists that give one fixed date are rounding. A birth time and place settle it.
