February Zodiac: Aquarius and Pisces
Depending on when the day lands, the zodiac sign for February falls under one of two zodiac signs. First up, there is the air sign Aquarius (Feb 1-Feb 18) which tends towards traits such as intelligence and and idealistic view on life, or the water sign Pisces (Feb. 19-Feb 28) which are said to have a strong creative disposition, strong sense of empathy, and a laid back attitude.
February is an unusual month for a couple reasons. Not only is it the shortest month of the year, but it’s the only month that holds an extra day. This arises every four years, during a leap year. This creative astrological trick was implemented as a corrective measure to align our calendars with orbit of the Earth. Essentially, this little change maintains our method of recording time in the calendar year, and keeps our seasons consistent throughout the years.
