Gemini is the last sign of spring, and in 2026 it gets a long one: 31.3 days, from May 21, 2026, 00:37 UTC to Jun 21, 2026, 08:25 UTC. The Sun is crawling toward its slowest pace of the year, so each spring sign lasts a little longer than the one before.
The end of Gemini is easy to remember. It finishes at the June solstice, the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere, when Cancer takes over. The start is the one that causes arguments, because it sits right on the night of May 20 in the Americas.

Moons in Gemini
Moons and planets, May 21 2026 to Jun 21 2027
The big Gemini story of 2026 is Uranus. It moves into Gemini in late April and is still there at the end of 2027, the first time it has been in this sign since the 1940s. Mars also crosses Gemini in early summer 2026, and Venus passes through in late spring.
The New Moon of the 2026 season lands on Jun 15, 2026 at 24°03′ Gemini, close to the end of the sign. The Full Moon, in Sagittarius, comes early in the season, on May 31, 2026 at 9°56′ Sagittarius.

Born around June 21? Where Gemini ends
Gemini ends at the solstice, Jun 21, 2026, 08:25 UTC.
