What zodiac sign is May 20?

If you were born on May 20, your Sun sign is most likely Taurus, but it could be Gemini depending on the year and your precise birth time. The Sun typically moves from grounded, sensual Taurus into curious, airy Gemini between May 20 and May 21, making this one of the most well-known zodiac cusps. To know for certain, you’ll need to check an ephemeris or cast your natal chart using your exact birth data — because even a few hours can shift the Sun from one sign to the other on this date.

Taurus is an earth sign ruled by Venus, associated with steadiness, patience, and a love of comfort and beauty. Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is mutable air — quick, communicative, and endlessly curious. If you’re born right on the cusp, you may feel a blend of both energies, but in astrology the Sun can only be in one sign at a time. What people often sense as “cusp energy” is usually the influence of other planets in the neighboring sign, especially Mercury or Venus, which never stray far from the Sun.

So if you’re a May 20 baby, you’re either a late-degree Taurus with a deeply rooted nature or an early-degree Gemini with a sparkling, restless mind. Both are wonderful — just different flavors of spring’s full bloom. Astrology is a symbolic language for self-reflection, not a scientific fact, and your birth chart is always more nuanced than your Sun sign alone.
