How this horoscope is calculated
All dates and degrees come from the Swiss Ephemeris and are shown in UTC. Each sign is read with whole-sign houses, using the sign itself as the 1st house (the standard Sun-sign method). If you know your rising sign, read that sign's horoscope as well: it is usually the more accurate one for events.
Your month depends on your whole chart
A Sun-sign horoscope shows the weather for everyone born in your sign. Your rising sign and natal planets decide which of these transits actually hit you and how hard. Your natal chart shows exactly where this month's planets fall for you.
