What does this mean?
On May 21, 2027 at 08:17 (CEST), the Sun leaves Taurus and moves into Gemini. The planet keeps its job and changes its style, like someone wearing a new coat to the same work. Whatever Sun sets in motion in your everyday life now carries the color of Gemini.
What does the Sun mean?
Your Sun is the core of who you are: your will, your awareness, the engine that drags you out of bed each morning. It describes how you like to take center stage and the story you tell about yourself. Where it sits in your chart names your basic theme, the part of you that wants to be seen and that every other planet circles.
What does Gemini mean?
Gemini links things and keeps asking. Curiosity, two voices at once, quick routes between ideas: the neighbor, a quote you overheard, the link that explains it all. Where Gemini is active, people talk, read and write, and hop between viewpoints.
Sun Enters Gemini
The Sun moves into Gemini, the curious twin. Over the next few weeks, old questions pick up new answers in passing conversations.

When does the Sun enter Gemini?
It happens exactly once a year, though the day moves around a little. From 1900 to 2100 the ingress landed most often on May 21 (53.2 % of years). The earliest date was May 20, the latest May 22.
Blame the calendar. A solar year runs about 365 days and 6 hours, while the calendar counts only 365 and makes up the difference with a leap day every fourth year. So the ingress drifts roughly six hours later each year until a leap year pulls it back.
