Halfway Child
The longest day is home in the month of June; a day that is the epitome of summer in the north and winter in the south. June offers us the bright sunshine, hot days and rainy seasons. The month is named after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and the spouse of Jupiter. Is it any wonder so many brides plan for a June wedding? June is a youthful month springing forth children that never grow up.The Personality:

She is youthful and has the need to have fun. She is ruled by quicksilver Mercury, and she is fleet on her feet. She has a need for security.

She dreams, and she talks non-stop when she is comfortable. She is reclusive and stubborn. Her debating skills make her a great executive. She is curious and has an abundance of mental energy.

The sign:
Gemini and Cancer: The twins and the crab.
The Stone:
The June child wants more than one. She claims the pearl, the moonstone and the alexandrite. The pearl denotes purity, modesty and chastity. The pearl is said to enhance integrity. The alexandrite is a chameleon as it turns green in natural light, but an incandescent light will cause it to turn purple. The opulence of a moonstone offers the June child shimmery glamour. 
The Flower:
The June baby is represented by the rose. Not just any rose, but ALL the roses. She is happy with pink, red, yellow, white, peach, burgundy and any other color in between. Each color represents something for her. The rose is revered worldwide, and she enjoys all the roses in her month. Even the blue rose represents mystery to her.The Color:
The green of awaking and the yellow of enthusiasm belong to the June girl.The Gifts:
