June Birthday Zodiac Sign

If you’re born in June, your zodiac sign is either Gemini (May 21 - June 20) or Cancer (June 21 - July 22).

Gemini is curious, chatty, and full of energy, ruled by Mercury. They are often the life of the party!

Cancer is emotional, caring, and intuitive, ruled by the Moon, and values deep, meaningful connections.

June Birthstone(s)

June has three birthstones: pearl, moonstone, and alexandrite. Pearls are classic and elegant, moonstones have a dreamy glow, and alexandrite changes colour depending on the light — from green in daylight to reddish-purple at night!

Symbolism and History of the Birthstone(s)

Pearls symbolise purity and wisdom and were once believed to be tears of the gods. Moonstone has been worn by Romans and Hindus for protection and love. Alexandrite, discovered in Russia in the 1830s, symbolises transformation and balance.

June Birth Flower

June’s birth flowers are the rose and honeysuckle.

Roses symbolise love, appreciation, and different colours represent different meanings: red for love, yellow for friendship, white for purity. Honeysuckle symbolises happiness and sweet devotion, plus it attracts hummingbirds!
