Chatty and busy-bodied Gemini season helps us wrap up the springtime with loads of mental energy and a desire to be more social. This could result in someone exhibiting both Gemini and Cancer characteristics, or what you can call Gemini-Cancer cusp traits.Įach year, when the sun leaves Gemini and enters Cancer, it heralds in a new zodiac season and meteorological season - and all members of the zodiac can feel these cosmic shifts, whether or not they have planets in either of these signs. However, because significant planets like Mercury and Venus move in close proximity to the sun in the zodiac, it’s true that many Geminis born later in June will have some influential Cancer-ruled planets in their chart, and vice versa for a mid-June-born Cancer.


Even if your birth took place during the very last moments of Gemini season, you’re still a true blue Gemini sun sign and not a Gemini-Cancer blend. That’s because the sun - along with all the other planets in astrology - can only be in a single zodiac sign at any given time. The concept of “cusp signs” is actually an astrological myth: Being born near the sun’s monthly ingress into a new sign doesn’t automatically mean you’re going to be a hybrid of two different zodiacal energies.

If your birthday falls on or near these dates, then it’s possible you think of yourself as having Gemini-Cancer cusp traits. On June 20 or 21 of each year, the sun dives into the watery waves of Cancer season, leaving the airy realm of Gemini and kicking off the summer with an astrological bang.
