What is a Pisces really like?
Pisces, the fish: swimming in feelings other people only paddle in. The machine's library weighs Pisces heaviest on empathetic, dreamy and idealistic. It is a water sign, and a changeable sign: you adapt faster than anyone notices. The Sun is in Pisces from February 18, 19 or 20 to March 19 or 20.
The Math
Calculated facts only, worked out the same way the machine does it.
- Sun in Pisces: from February 18, 19 or 20 to March 19 or 20. The exact day changes with the year; the machine works it out for your birth date (calculated 1950–2030).
- Cusp days: birthdays from February 17 to 20 (the Aquarius side) and from March 19 to 22 (the Aries side) have fallen on the cusp in some years. Without a birth time, the machine names both signs on those days.
- Element: water. Modality: mutable. Sign 12 of 12.
- Wheel geometry: same element (most compatible): Cancer and Scorpio. Friendly sextile (great match): Taurus and Capricorn. Opposite (the magnetic one): Virgo. Square (least compatible): Gemini and Sagittarius.
