February 19 Zodiac Sign
Tradition: Western astrology. A tradition, not a forecast. Astrologers read it this way; the evidence does not.
By Suraj Giri
February 19 is Pisces on the dates most calendars use, but it is a boundary day: from 1950 to 2029, about 93 percent of February 19 birth hours in US Eastern time fell in Pisces and about 7 percent in Aquarius.
You were born on a boundary day. The exact changeover shifts by up to a day depending on the year and the time of birth, so both signs are shown.
| Sign | Share | The Sun's degrees |
|---|---|---|
| Pisces | 93 percent | 0.0 to 1.8 degrees of Pisces |
| Aquarius | 7 percent | 29.5 to 30.0 degrees of Aquarius |
The Sun's move into Pisces landed between February 18 and February 19 (US Eastern time) in those years; the tropical year is about 365.24 days, so the moment shifts by hours from year to year and moves back after each leap day.

A note on February 19 birthdays
Pisces takes over the day after Aquarius' last day on most calendars, February 18, with the Sun moving to 0.0 to 1.8 degrees of Pisces while Aquarius' own degrees trail behind at 29.5 to 30.0. Neptune, the sign's ruler, is read in astrological tradition as ideals, empathy and imagination, a softer note than the independence Uranus carried through the sign just left behind. Cancer and Scorpio open as Pisces' strong match, worth 8 by this site's points method, much as Gemini and Libra held that spot for Aquarius.
