How to read it
What a Sun-sign horoscope is, and is not
- General: it reads the sky the same way for everyone born under Cancer.
- 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.
How houses and days are counted
It uses solar houses: Cancer 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.
Which day counts as today follows your device’s time zone; until it is known, UTC. Positions are computed for 12:00 UTC of the day shown, and event times are UTC.
Your own chart says more
A Sun-sign horoscope cannot know your rising sign, your Moon or your houses. Calculate them from your birth data, then read the sky against your own chart.
