june (month)
June is the sixth month of the Julian and Gregorian calendars, lasting for 30 days. In the Northern Hemisphere, June is the month of the summer solstice and in the Southern Hemisphere, the month of the winter solstice. It is named after Juno, Roman queen of the gods, and goddess of marriage and childbirth.
June's birthstones are the pearl, moonstone, and alexandrite. June's flowers are the roses (Rosa) and the honeysuckle (Lonicera caprifolium). In regards to the western zodiac, June is under the sign of Gemini until the 20th, when the sign of Cancer begins.
