What a Sun-sign horoscope is, and is not

• General: it reads the sky the same way for everyone born under Gemini.
• It uses solar houses: Gemini itself is the 1st house, the next sign the 2nd, and so on. This is a convention for Sun-sign readings; it is not your house system.
• It is not about you in particular. It does not know your birth time, rising sign or Moon sign.
• It describes what the sky is doing. It does not predict events and gives no health, money or legal advice.
• All dates and times are UTC.
