Are you sure you are Aquarius and Pisces?
Sun-sign dates shift by a day or two from year to year, so the ranges printed on most sites — including the conventional Jan 20 – Feb 18 in the summary above — are a rounded average, not the real boundary. Aquarius season has begun on 3 different calendar days since 1930, and the Sun last actually entered Aquarius on the conventional date in 2024. If either birthday falls near a boundary, check the exact year below — and if it is the boundary day itself, the free birth chart settles it to the minute.
