May Gemini vs. June Gemini: What’s the Difference?
In general, Geminis are fun-loving, social signs that enjoy learning and bring the party wherever they go. But did you know that a Gemini born in May is quite different from a Gemini born in June? Depending on when you were born, you may pick up on different Gemini characteristics and traits.
Difference & Dates
All Geminis are born between May 21 and June 20. However, the difference between May and June Geminis is represented by the three decans—three equal parts of 10 degrees within the sign itself. So, if you were born on May 21, you’d be considered a first decan Gemini.
Gemini Types
First Decan Gemini
The first decan of any sign will encompass all the natural tendencies and traits of that sign. So, if you were born within the first 10 degrees of Gemini, you are likely to be the most Gemini out of the three. That means: eagerness, optimism, excitement, flightiness, and a willingness to learn.
Second Decan Gemini
If you were born between 10 and 20 degrees, you’re considered a second decan Gemini. Ruled by Venus, instead of the airy intellectual mind, you may be more sensual and sensory than other Geminis.
Third Decan Gemini
If you were born between 20 and 30 degrees, you’re considered a third decan Gemini. Since this area is ruled by Saturn and Uranus—so, you might be more structured than a typical Gemini. You may also enjoy the idea of creating, rather than learning new topics. Uranus has the energy toward go-go-go and find “newness.”
If you’re curious to know what kind of Gemini you are, the best way to do this is to calculate your birth chart or get a birth chart reading.
May Geminis
Personality
This Gemini is likely to have all the most raw Gemini traits out there. They are excitable, spontaneous, and a little ADD. They aren’t able to keep focus and they can’t handle themselves under lots and lots of stress, but they are a wonderful person to talk to when you need to figure things out. Their mind works fast and makes connections with ease.
A first decan Gemini carries with them the skills of Mercury (planet of communication), its ruling planet. Because of that, this Gemini is very good at connecting with new people. They are also skilled at networking or sales.
This decan of Gemini is also more likely to enjoy learning new skills, taking on new hobbies, or challenging the mind in some way. Give this sign a textbook, and they’ll devour it just to see what’s inside. That’s, again, thanks to the planet Mercury for ruling over this section of Gemini.

June Geminis
Personality
June Geminis are likely ruled by either Venus or Saturn/Uranus … so, their presence is much more sensual and restricted. A typical Gemini has a very flowing personality. This is the kind of person who is extremely go-with-the-flow and at ease.
But a June Gemini is more likely to have a regimented flow to their day—where they have routine and can set a schedule. They may also be more likely to enjoy physical touch and movement in the bedroom.
If you’re a second decan Gemini, you may be very interested in building relationships with others. As hard as you may try to pin down what love means, you may still find it a difficult concept to understand. Because you search for beauty and aesthetic (thanks to Venus), you may tend to live in a fantasy world. You might miss red flags or over-fantasize the scope of your partnerships. Additionally, a third decan Gemini is extremely persuasive. Venus rules charm!
While all Geminis are experimental, the third decan Gemini may be more inclined to trying new things in the bedroom, regarding investments, or in regards to personal evolution.
Traits
- Physical stimulation
- Persuasive

- Obsessed with “newness”
