Are you sure you are Cancer and Virgo?

Sun-sign dates shift by a day or two from year to year, so the ranges printed on most sites — including the conventional Jun 21 – Jul 22 in the summary above — are a rounded average, not the real boundary. Cancer season has begun on 3 different calendar days since 1930, and the Sun last actually entered Cancer on the conventional date in 2026. If either birthday falls near a boundary, check the exact year below — and if it is the boundary day itself, the free birth chart settles it to the minute.
