Sharing a zodiac sign does not mean having the same personality characteristics. People born from May 20 to June 20 are Gemini and although they have the astrological character of this sign, there are differences between them according to the month of their birth.
Astrology is complex and profound. Just as in nature no human being is the same as another, our cosmic characteristics are different. The position of the planets in the natal chart, the rising sign, the nodes of destiny, etc., all depend on the date, time and exact place of birth.
Gemini encompasses the basic personality of those born during its cycle, however, there is an astrological aspect that makes those with this sun sign different: the decans.
The decans are subdivisions that exist within each sign of the zodiac and each one of them differs in the way of expressing the energy of a sign towards the outside , explain astrologers at Bustle.
Based on degrees, each decan spans 30 degrees on the zodiac wheel. The first 10 degrees of a sign belong to the first decan, the second 10 degrees are assigned to the second and the last 10 degrees to the third decan.
The Sun travels approximately 1 degree per day which means that May Geminis belong to the first decan while June Geminis belong to the second and third decan.
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and thought, and is co-ruled by Venus and Uranus, the stars of love and the collective mind, respectively. Next, we will explore what the differences are and what decans and planets have to do with the personality of each one.
Characteristics of May Geminis
Those who were born in May are Gemini with the purest characteristics of this sign because they only receive the influence of Mercury and belong to the first decan. This means that they embody the stereotyped traits of the third zodiac sign as a good communicator, talkative, witty and curious, among others.
They are more flexible in their thinking, they can adapt more easily to the circumstances of the moment and tend to be more unpredictable.
They may be able to multitask, process information faster (their learning ability is high) and they thrive when their mind stays active.
June Gemini Characteristics
Since they are of the third and fourth decan, it means that, in addition to Mercury, they have co-ruling planets. They receive the influence of Venus and Uranus so social relationships are more important to them. The energy of Venus increases their need to be personally connected, while Uranus causes them to prioritize collaborations, groups and friendships.
Both planets endow Geminis of June with more creativity, that is, they are more sensitive to the arts, visual aesthetics, beauty, and more resourceful.
