February 22 zodiac sign: Pisces, first decan

If you were born on February 22, your sign is Pisces, the water sign ruled by Neptune: the Sun is in Pisces on this date in every year from 1980 to 2030. The Sun sits about 3° into Pisces on this date, in the first decan, where Pisces's core takes on a Saturn flavour. Here's what the date fixes, and what only your birth time can tell you.

Your sign: Pisces

The mutable water sign that dissolves boundaries and feels what others don't even notice.

A Pisces Sun is built around empathy and imagination. You feel things that haven't been said. You read the room, the energy, the unspoken — and you're often right. This intuition is real, and it makes you formidable in any creative or healing field that rewards seeing what's beneath the surface.

The date fixes the Sun; the year and hour fix the rest. A Pisces born February 22 with the Moon in Capricorn runs on a different inner weather from one with the Moon in Pisces: see Pisces Sun, Capricorn Moon. Your rising sign needs the birth time; the twelve Pisces Sun combinations show what each one changes.

In the US (2000–2014), an average of 11,424 babies were born on each February 22, rank 160 of 366 dates; Pisces is number 9 of 12 signs (8.04%). What's the most common zodiac sign?

The Moon on February 22, 1980–2030

Across the 51 years from 1980 to 2030, the Moon at noon UTC on February 22 was most often in Taurus (6 years) and least often in Cancer, Leo, Capricorn, and Pisces (3 years each). Unlike the Sun, the Moon sign depends on the birth year. On February 22, 2026, the Moon stays in Taurus the whole UTC day.

In 22 of those 51 years (43%) the Moon changed sign during February 22 itself, so in those years the birth time decides the Moon as well as the rising sign. Cells with an arrow mark them, with the UTC time of the change. The Moon was exactly full on February 22 in 1997 and 2016; it was never new on this date between 1980 and 2030.

Find your birth year. One sign means the Moon spent the whole UTC day there; an arrow means it changed sign that day, at the UTC time shown: born before it, the first sign; after it, the second. The Moon sign calculator settles it in seconds; your birth chart adds the rising sign and houses.

Times in UTC: a birth late in the evening in the Americas, or early in the morning in Asia, can fall on the neighbouring UTC date.

Your decan: the first decan of Pisces

Each sign is divided into three 10° decans, and each decan has a sub-ruler that shades the sign's core. Degrees 0–10 of Pisces belong to Saturn: where you face limitation and, through facing it, build mastery. Read it as Pisces with a Saturn accent — the water core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.

What the date can't tell you

The Sun is one placement out of ten. Your Moon sign changes every two to three days, so Pisceans born on February 22 in different years have different Moons; your rising sign changes every two hours and needs a birth time and place. Those two carry most of what people mean by "personality" in a chart.

Common questions

What zodiac sign is February 22?

February 22 is Pisces, the mutable water sign ruled by Neptune. The Sun sits at roughly 3° Pisces on this date, in the first decan.

What decan is February 22?

The first decan of Pisces (0°–10°), sub-ruled by Saturn. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here where you face limitation and, through facing it, build mastery.

What tarot card is February 22?

In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the first decan of Pisces it is the Eight of Cups (walking away, seeking depth, withdrawal). It's a birthday card in the same way a sun sign is — one lens, not a verdict.

What Moon sign is someone born on February 22?

It depends on the year, and in 43% of years on the hour too. For example: in 1980, Taurus or Gemini; in 1990, Capricorn or Aquarius; in 2000, Libra; in 2010, Gemini; in 2020, Aquarius. Over 1980–2030 the Moon on February 22 was most often in Taurus. A birth time and place pin it down.

Does everyone born on February 22 have the same chart?

No. They share the Sun in Pisces, but the Moon changes sign every two to three days, the rising sign every two hours, and the outer planets by year. Two people born February 22 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
