Enter the birth year, local clock time, and a named time zone such as America/Los_Angeles. The named zone accounts for daylight saving rules on the birth date.

This lookup uses the tropical zodiac and identifies only the Sun sign. Use the chart step for other placements.

What Taurus and Gemini birthdays are like

Taurus

Gemini

Gemini energy stays awake through questions, conversation, and unexpected connections. It makes the world feel full of doors, stories, and ideas worth following. As a mutable air sign ruled by Mercury, Gemini favors learning through conversation; picture two open windows carrying different conversations.
