What is the February Zodiac Sign?

February zodiac sign

We all know that there are twelve signs of the zodiac and that each of them has its own unique set of traits and characteristics. What you might not know is exactly where each zodiac sign falls within the 12 months of the year. Do you know your Scorpio from your Sagittarius? Your Libra from your Leo? We’re here to help you, February babies, understand which zodiac sign you are and what that means in terms of traits.

What is the February zodiac sign?

There are, in fact, two zodiac signs that fall within the month of February.

If your birthday falls before and up to February 18th, then you are an Aquarius.

If your birthday falls on and after February 19th, then you are a Pisces.

February Aquarius explained

If you’re born in February and your birthday falls before the 19th, then congratulations! You’re an innovative, free-spirited Aquarius. Aquarians are born between January 20th and February 18th and are the eleventh sign of the zodiac.

Many people would assume that if you fall between these dates, then all Aquarians are the same. However, that isn’t always the case. Aquarians who are born in January and Aquarians who are born in February often have differing natures.

The main difference between a January Aquarius and a February Aquarius is in their ruling planet. Those born in January have their ruling planet as solely Uranus (the planet of innovation and curiosity), so they usually embody these more classic unpredictable Aquarius traits. January Aquariuans often embody the stereotypical strengths and weaknesses associated with Aquarius’ energy, such as being rebellious, impulsive, eccentric, unique, and creative.

However, when we move past January and into February, these Aquarius babies are often co-ruled by either Venus (the planet of love) or Mercury (the planet of communication) in addition to Uranus. This explains why February Aquariuans are more likely to be more sociable and people-orientated than their January equals. They emphasize human connections and the social side of things. February Aquarians still like to bend the rules and push the boundaries, but they’re a little more relaxed in their approach. In addition, they focus on their loved ones more so than the wild January Aquarians might.

Generally speaking, February Aquarians are like a hybrid of the classic Aquarius traits but with the typical influence of Venus and Mercury as their co-ruling planets. As a result, they tend to enjoy engaging with a community of people (which is typical of the humanitarian Aquarians). Still, those born in February thrive in having one-on-one connections and fostering more intimate relationships. They might be more thoughtful in their decisions before jumping into the deep end like their chaotic and free-natured January Aquarius cousins.

Being co-ruled by Mercury also gives them a more flexible and open-minded attitude toward life. Aquarians are typically quite set in their ways, and when they make their mind up about something, it can be hard to deter them. Mercury’s co-ruling influence over February Aquarians means they are often better at thinking and pausing before acting. Mercury energy means paying attention to details and ensuring everything’s in place, which is why February Aquarians are slightly less impulsive and chaotic than their solely Uranus-ruled January equals. Ultimately, both signs share many admirable qualities, but their differences should be taken into account when considering compatibility.

They have a natural curiosity that makes them inquisitive, always looking for new ways of thinking and new information. Being ruled by Uranus gives them a natural interest in learning and Mercury’s ruling influence means they are inquisitive by nature.

Those February Aquarians who are also co-ruled by Venus enjoy being more open than their January equals. All of these factors explain by February Aquarians are usually more open with their thoughts and feelings and communicate them with ease. Their love of talking also makes them excellent listeners. They listen carefully to what is being said, taking into account all sides of an argument before forming their own opinion or offering advice. All of this combined gives Aquarians born in February a unique ability to connect with people from different walks of life and encourages meaningful discussion full of differing points of view.

February Pisces explained

If you’re born in February and your birthday falls on or after the 19th, then congratulations! You’re a creative, empathetic Pisces. Pisceans are born between February 19th and March 20th and are the twelfth sign of the zodiac.

Many people would assume that if you fall between these dates, then all Pisceans are the same. However, that isn’t always the case. Pisceans who are born in February and Pisceans who are born in March often have differing natures.

February-born Pisceans are purely Neptune-ruled, and as a result, they tend to embody the most classic Pisces traits. This means they are generally seen as stereotypical Pisces, such as being ethereal, emotionally sensitive, and creative. They also have a tendency to daydream at any given opportunity.

However, when we move past February and into March, these Pisceans are often co-ruled by either the Moon (the planet of emotions) or Pluto (the planet of transformation). As a result, March Pisceans are more likely to be more secretive and mysterious than their open-hearted February equals. This comes as no surprise with the mysterious nightly Moon’s influence and Pluto’s dark and underground influence. This results in March Pisceans being more private and intense.
