What it means to be born on February 19

A birthday on the 19th of February falls under Pisces. Pisces is a mutable water sign, ruled by Neptune in modern astrology and Jupiter in tradition, the last sign of the zodiac. It is associated with imagination, empathy and dreams. Two fish swimming in opposite directions form its emblem. Its season ends winter.

February 19 sits on the Aquarius and Pisces boundary

This date is one of the twelve changeovers in the zodiac. A tropical sign begins at the moment the sun reaches a particular point, and that moment drifts by roughly six hours a year before a leap day pulls it back. On a boundary date the crossing can therefore land on either side of the calendar day, depending on the birth year and the time zone. Charts that publish fixed dates, including ours, round it.

In practice that means a birthday on February 19 is Pisces in most years and Aquarius in some. Only an ephemeris for the exact birth year and time settles it. The full list of boundaries is in the cusp guide.
