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.

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.
