I’m sure all of us at some point in time checked our zodiac signs on our phones and went through posts or videos just to read about our signs and the horoscope for the day. While some used the traditional method of checking the last page of the newspaper some checked it on our electronic devices. But we all have done this but what if our birth date is seen in both zodiac signs then what happens? Here, we’ll discuss ‘Is February 19 a Pisces or Aquarius?’
Then your birthday will be the cusp of both the zodiac signs.
Let us first see how zodiac signs and their process work:
Basic Understanding of Zodiac Signs
There are mainly 3 types of astrology but the most common one is western astrology which is used all around the world. This western astrology consists of 12 zodiac signs each with thirty-degree sectors that make up the 360-degree orbit around the sun.
The 12 zodiac signs are based on the 4 elements of nature which are:
- Fire
- Air
- Earth
- Water
While the two elements fire and air are in the positive polarity earth and water are in the negative polarity. These elements act as the energy substance of experience. The positive polarity mainly defines masculinity, expressiveness, and ying while the negative polarity mainly defines femininity, receptiveness, and yang. The elements and the modality provide the sign with unique characteristics.
A lot of studies and extensive research under different categories related to astrology are done to provide this kind of information. But not many people believe in it and counter research has been done with regards to the zodiac sign and their representation being inaccurate. In the end, it is all about perception and what one believes. Being represented with a zodiac sign is inevitable but to believe in the information and the things that are said about it is a choice whether one wants to accept it or not.
Before we understand the cusp of zodiac signs let us see the information available on these two zodiac signs which form a cusp.
Aquarius the Water Bearer
- Aquarius is the eleventh zodiac sign originating from the Greek constellation Aquarius.
- The zodiac element of this sign is air which means it has a positive polarity.
- The Aquarius is a winter constellation.
- The traditional sign ruler is Saturn while the modern sign ruler is Uranus.
- The dates of the Aquarius are January 20th to February 19th.
To understand more about his zodiac sign one can go to several different pages and find out about it. There is a Greek mythological story behind this which is a must-read for all zodiac enthusiasts out there.
Pisces the Fish
- Pisces is the twelfth zodiac sign originating from the ancient Greek word Ikhthyes and it is the final zodiac sign.
- The zodiac element of this sign is water which means it has a negative polarity.
- The traditional sign ruler of this zodiac sign is Jupiter but the modern sign ruler of this zodiac sign is Neptune.
- This zodiac sign is more complex compared to Aquarius.
- The dates of Pisces are from February 19th to March 20th.
The symbol of this zodiac sign is derived from the Greek mythological story where Ichthyocentaurs helped Aphrodite when she was born from the sea. Presently there is a lot of debate going between the zodiac sign of Aquarius and Pisces. While some believe that this is the Age of Pisces others believe that this is the Age of Aquarius. One can observe that February 19th ends in Aquarius and begins in Pisces. For a long period, there was confusion about whether to consider this date under the category of Aquarius or Pisces. The answer to this question is finally out. Let us understand this in detail.
Pisces-Aquarius Cusp
People who are born on dates that end in a zodiac sign and begin in a zodiac sign fall under the category of the cusp of sensitivity. February 19th specifically falls under the Aquarius-Pisces cusp. People who are born on this day have both planets ruling which are Uranus and Neptune. This is known as the cusp of sensitivity because the wheel moves from Aquarius to Pisces. The Pisces-Aquarius cusp is between February 15th to 21st and February 19th falls under these dates. There is a lot of information about the Aquarius-Pisces cusp where a lot of things have been discussed such as personality traits, compatibility, and many other things
Recent studies and research done by various people finally say that February 19th falls under the zodiac sign of Pisces. If one searches under the question of whether February 19th is an Aquarius or Pisces the answer that will be presented is Pisces. So anyone who is born on February 19th can now finally say that their zodiac sign is Pisces. Another thing that one should also observe is that the dates of these zodiac signs have changed so that people can understand the idea of the cusp more easily and at the same time have a definite zodiac sign without any confusion. This was observed in western astrology.
The dates of an Aquarius zodiac sign presently are from January 20th to February 18th and the dates that fall under the Pisces zodiac sign now are February 19th to March 20th. This finally proves that though February 19th still falls under the category of Aquarius-Pisces cusp their definite zodiac sign is the Pisces.
Hence if it is necessary people should read things that have been said about people having the Aquarius-Pisces cusp and should also make it a point to read the things that have been said about the individual zodiac signs as well. This way it will help them understand all the perspectives that have been presented to them and can have their opinions and judgments about it.
To conclude, zodiac signs do play their part in everyone’s life directly or indirectly but what matters the most is what kind of human being a person is. It is how an individual does things, reacts to things, and behaves to things that will help us know what kind of person they are. If you are good as a person and have good morals without any negative pre-judgments or having any kind of prejudices then that’s what speaks for the individual and what matters the most. Zodiac signs do say a lot about people and categorize everyone as one but what we need to remember is each individual is different and special in their way.
