A note on March 19 birthdays

The Sun's crossing into Aries can land anywhere from March 19 to March 21, and in 3 of those years the crossing falls late enough that March 19 still counts as the last day of Pisces. Here the span runs 27.8 to 30.0 degrees, day 29 of 30. Astrologers read Neptune, Pisces's own ruler, in love as ideals, empathy and imagination, traditionally read through Jupiter instead as generosity, hope and room to grow. Aries takes over from March 21.
