Born on February 4
Your Sun is in Aquarius, about 15° in — the second decan, where Aquarius's core takes on a Mercury flavour. Here's what the date fixes, and what only your birth time can tell you.
Your sign: Aquarius
The fixed air sign that thinks in systems and refuses to inherit its opinions.
An Aquarius Sun is built around originality and systemic thinking. You don't take "this is how it's done" as a sufficient reason for anything. You ask why, and if the answer is just tradition, you're free to do something different. This makes you a natural innovator, an effective dissident, and an occasional pain in the ass to people who like consensus.

Your decan: the second decan of Aquarius
Each sign is divided into three 10° decans, and each decan has a sub-ruler that shades the sign's core. Degrees 10–20 of Aquarius belong to Mercury: how you think, learn, communicate, and process information. Read it as Aquarius with a Mercury accent — the air core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.
Six of Swords
Transition · Passage · Moving on. The card assigned to this ten-degree slice of the zodiac — a birthday card in the same sense a sun sign is a birthday sign: one lens on the date, not a verdict.

The Sun is one placement out of ten. Your Moon sign changes every two to three days, so Aquarians born on February 4 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 4?
February 4 is Aquarius, the fixed air sign ruled by Uranus. The Sun sits at roughly 15° Aquarius on this date, in the second decan.
What decan is February 4?
The second decan of Aquarius (10°–20°), sub-ruled by Mercury. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here how you think, learn, communicate, and process information.
What tarot card is February 4?
In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the second decan of Aquarius it is the Six of Swords (transition, passage, moving on). It's a birthday card in the same way a sun sign is — one lens, not a verdict.
Does everyone born on February 4 have the same chart?
No. They share the Sun in Aquarius, 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 4 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
