♓Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Pisces dates are February 19 – March 20. If you were born in that window, the Sun was moving through Pisces — a mutable water sign ruled by Jupiter and Neptune.
Born a day or two either side? The boundary shifts slightly year to year. Just before February 19 belongs to Aquarius; just after March 20 belongs to Aries. Your birth time and city decide the edge cases.
- Element
- Water
- Modality
- Mutable
- Ruler
- Jupiter and Neptune
Pisces is the last sign — mutable water, where the boundaries between selves thin out. Jupiter-ruled traditionally and Neptunian modernly, Pisces perceives atmospherically rather than analytically. Strong Pisces placements absorb the mood of a room and often mistake it for their own.
Strengths
- Deep empathy
- Creative and image-rich thinking
- Forgiving without keeping score
- Comfortable with ambiguity
Challenges
- Porous boundaries
- Escaping rather than confronting
- Idealizing people past the evidence
Pisces in love
Pisces loves completely and can lose its outline doing it. The healthiest version keeps one thing that belongs only to itself.
Pisces at work
Pisces thrives in creative, therapeutic, and imaginative work, and struggles most under rigid metrics.
Who Pisces tends to get along with
By element, Pisces shares an easy language with the other water signs and with earth and water signs generally. It's a starting point, not a verdict — two whole charts decide the rest.

Pisces questions, answered
- What are the Pisces dates?
- Pisces dates are February 19 to March 20. If you were born on or before February 18 you are Aquarius; if you were born after March 20 you are Aries.
- Is Pisces a water sign?
- Yes. Pisces is a mutable water sign ruled by Jupiter and Neptune.
- What signs are most compatible with Pisces?
- Traditionally Pisces pairs easily with the other water signs and with earth and water signs generally — Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn. Real compatibility depends on the whole chart, not the Sun sign alone.
- Do the Pisces dates shift from year to year?
- Slightly. The Sun enters Pisces around February 19 each year, but the exact moment moves by up to a day depending on the year and your time zone. If your birthday falls on the boundary, your birth time and city settle it.
How Aether reads Pisces
A Sun in Pisces is one voice in a much larger chart. Aether computes your Moon, rising sign, and the rest of your placements from your birth date, time, and city, then writes each day's resonance from those placements against the current transits — and from the moods and events you log in your chronicle. Where a generic Pisces horoscope generalizes across a twelfth of the world, your reading is drawn from your chart alone.
