February Zodiac Sign: Aquarius or Pisces?
The February zodiac signs are Aquarius (approximately February 1–18) and Pisces (approximately February 19–28/29). Birthdays near the change need a calculation using the birth year and time.
This guide includes February 29. A leap-day birthday uses its original birth date when calculating a chart, regardless of the day chosen for celebrations in other years.

February 18 or 19: Aquarius or Pisces?
Date charts often place the change on February 19, but that is not a fixed midnight boundary for every birth year. Around February 18–20, the actual solar position decides whether the Sun is in Aquarius or Pisces. Check the original birth date and local birth time, with the birthplace used to identify the time zone.

Our free birth-chart calculator uses your full birth date, local birth time, and birthplace. If you do not know the time and were born near the sign change, treat the Sun-sign result as uncertain. Choosing a default time cannot settle a boundary birthday.

Enter February 29 and the actual leap year in the birth-chart calculator. Celebrating on February 28 or March 1 in other years does not alter a natal chart. February 29 is normally Pisces and is far from the Aquarius–Pisces changeover.
Questions about February birthdays
What zodiac sign is February 14?
February 14 normally falls in Aquarius. Valentine’s Day does not determine compatibility; that is a separate interpretive question from identifying the Sun’s sign at birth.
Does a leap year move everyone’s zodiac sign?
No. Leap days keep the calendar aligned with the solar year. A birthday near a sign boundary needs a calculation for its particular year; most birthdays remain safely within the same conventional sign range.
