Gemini Second Decan

Approximate dates: June 1 – June 10 · 10° – 19°59′ · Air Sign

Sub-ruler: Venus · Libra sub-influence

How to Identify Your Decan

This decan covers 10° up to but not including 20° of Gemini.

Use your Sun's tropical sign and degree to identify its decan. Calendar dates are approximate; your birthday alone may not settle a boundary placement. If your birth time is unknown, a representative position near a boundary may leave your decan uncertain.

This collection uses modern triplicity: sub-rulers follow the signs of the same element. Other systems, including Chaldean decans, assign different rulers. The descriptions below are interpretive traditions, not measured personality traits. Compare the decan methods at Astrodienst.

Venus brings Libran grace, charm, and aesthetic sensibility to Gemini's quicksilver mind. Second decan Gemini natives are the most socially polished of the sign — they can work any room, mediate any dispute, and make everyone feel heard. Their communication style is not just clever but beautiful, often excelling in poetry, design, or diplomatic speech.

How This Decan Differs

Venus softens Mercury's sharp edges, making second decan Gemini more emotionally attuned and relationship-focused than the first decan. They care about harmony, not just information — how something is said matters as much as what is said.

Find Your Sun's Decan

Calculate your birth chart and read the Sun's sign and degree in the result. Within that sign, 0° up to but not including 10° is the first decan; 10° up to but not including 20° is the second; 20° up to but not including 30° is the third.

If your birth time is unknown, the displayed degree is representative. Near a sign or decan boundary, it may not establish your decan; a confirmed birth time may be needed.
