Pisces quick reference
The Pisces cusp boundaries
A Sun sign changes at the actual ingress of the Sun into the next 30° tropical zodiac sector, not at midnight on one permanent calendar date. Birth year, local time, and location are needed to place a boundary birth on the correct side of that instant.
- Entering Pisces
- The opening boundary is between Aquarius and Pisces.
- Leaving Pisces
- The closing boundary is between Pisces and Aries.
- Month-and-day lookup
- The conventional range is a useful first pass. The Sun sign finder flags both sides of each changeover for exact follow-up.
