March 20 zodiac sign: Pisces or Aries?

If you were born on March 20, you're Pisces or Aries depending on the time: Pisces before the Sun enters Aries, Aries after. The Sun crosses from one sign to the other on this date in 44 of the 51 years from 1980 to 2030, and the minute shifts from year to year (2026: March 20, 14:45 UTC). At noon UTC it's Pisces in 63% of years; the exact minute of the change for every year is below.

Pisces or Aries? Check your year

The Sun's entry into Aries shifts by a few hours from year to year. Find your birth year, convert your birth time to UTC, and compare: born before the time shown, you're Pisces; after it, Aries. Years missing from the list had the crossing on a neighbouring day (the Sun was in one sign for the whole of March 20).

Your sign: Pisces (or Aries)

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 hour fixes the rest. A Pisces born March 20 in the late evening has Scorpio rising, and a different first impression from one born at dawn. 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 11,330 babies were born on each March 20, rank 184 of 366 dates; Pisces is number 9 of 12 signs (8.04%). What's the most common zodiac sign?

The Moon on March 20, 1980–2030

Across the 51 years from 1980 to 2030, the Moon at noon UTC on March 20 was most often in Taurus (7 years) and least often in Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, and Capricorn (3 years each). Unlike the Sun, the Moon sign depends on the birth year. On March 20, 2026, the Moon stays in Aries the whole UTC day.

In 23 of those 51 years (45%) the Moon changed sign during March 20 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 March 20 in 1981 and 2000, and new in 2004 and 2015.

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 third 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 20–30 of Pisces belong to Mars: your drive — how you take action, what makes you angry, and what you fight for. Read it as Pisces with a Mars 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 March 20 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

Is March 20 Pisces or Aries?

Both are possible. On March 20 the Sun moves from Pisces into Aries in most years, at a time that ranges from 02:16 UTC to 23:20 UTC UTC across 1980–2030 (in some years the crossing falls on the neighbouring day). Convert your birth time to UTC and compare it with the crossing for your year in the table above — before it you're Pisces, after it Aries.

What zodiac sign is March 20?

March 20 is a cusp day between Pisces and Aries; at noon UTC it falls in Pisces in 63% of years between 1980 and 2030. Your birth year and hour decide it.

What decan is March 20?

The third decan of Pisces (20°–30°), sub-ruled by Mars. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here your drive — how you take action, what makes you angry, and what you fight for.

What tarot card is March 20?

In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the third decan of Pisces it is the Ten of Cups (harmony, family joy, fulfilment). 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 March 20?

It depends on the year, and in 45% of years on the hour too. For example: in 1980, Taurus; in 1990, Capricorn; in 2000, Virgo or Libra; in 2010, Taurus; in 2020, Aquarius. Over 1980–2030 the Moon on March 20 was most often in Taurus. A birth time and place pin it down.

Does everyone born on March 20 have the same chart?

No. They share the Sun in Pisces or Aries, 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 March 20 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
