It’s not a given that two people who have the same zodiac sign are from the same school of fish. Some individuals even firmly believe that Pisces in February and Pisces in March may be swimming in two whole distinct celestial waters. Since every person’s birth chart is unique and depends on the day, year, and down to the precise minute of their birth, not all Pisces zodiac signs will have the same personality. But are the distinctions between February and March Pisces supported by astrology, or is it simply our imagination?

Before we continue, there are several astrological explanations for why individuals who share the same zodiac sign may be so different. Although sun signs play a crucial role in our cosmic make-up, our birth charts include much more information than just one sign. Therefore, while almost everyone born between February 19 and March 20 will have a Pisces sun, their moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and rising zodiac signs may differ. As a result, while they are likely to share some fundamental Pisces characteristics, they may pursue their goals, express their emotions, and form relationships in different ways.

Zodiac sign decans are a significant additional astrological notion to take into account. Each zodiac sign has three decans, and depending on which decan a planet is in, they will express themselves via the sign in a different way. In astrology, decans are broken up according to degrees, and each sign spans more than 30 degrees on the zodiac wheel. Accordingly, the first decan is made up of the first ten degrees, the second decan is made up of the next ten degrees, and the third decan is made up of the last ten degrees. It just so happens that most Pisceans born in February are first decan Pisceans, but most Pisceans born in March will be either second or third decan Pisceans, which might explain some of the variances. This is because the sun travels around one degree every day.

Let’s explore the astrological variations between February Pisces and March Pisces that will help us better comprehend the changeable water signs of the zodiac using decans as our major element.

The most stereotypical Pisces are those born in February.

Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusions, is the governing planet of Pisces. However, since most Pisceans born in March are second or third decan Pisceans, they also have a second co-ruling planet that affects how their zodiac sign manifests. Because only Neptune rules Pisces, those born in February often exhibit the most traditional Pisces positives and negatives. Pisces energy is often said to be sympathetic, sensitive, and ethereal, and February Pisceans fit this description to a tee.

Pisces Are Extra Sensitive in March.

No matter what month they were born in, Pisces are water signs that are highly attuned to their emotions and motivated by them. But because the moon, the planet that rules human moods and emotions, also rules around half of March Pisceans, they are often even more receptive to other people’s temperaments than their fellow cosmic fish. It is especially crucial for these March Pisceans to avoid energy vampires and poisonous situations since they experience their emotions intensely.

Pisces In February Are Very Creative

Pisces zodiac signs are naturally artistic and skilled at transforming their intense emotions into profound works of art; this is especially true for Pisceans born in February. These fish likely have an even more vivid imagination than their March-born counterparts, and are readily able to convert their complicated emotions into symbolic artistic undertakings since they are the only Pisces decan that is fully influenced by the dreamy planet Neptune. Many Pisceans born in February will be attracted to performing arts, music, or visual art.

Pisces Are More Secretive in March.

Free-flowing Although Pisceans are notorious for putting their hearts on their sleeves, those born in March prefer to hold their cards a bit closer to their breast. They are all second and third decan Pisceans, which means their co-ruler in the cosmos is either the moon (the planet of emotions) or Pluto (the planet of change). Given that faraway Pluto oversees all things underground and the moon (which only shines at night) regulates our private life, both of these planets lend Pisces’ mystique a little murky and more mysterious spirit. Pisceans born in March become more private as a result of this impact.

Pisces have more difficulty with boundaries in February.

Neptune, the planet that rules Pisces, is the great dissolver of the zodiac, dissolving distinctions and blending everything together. First decan Pisceans, who undoubtedly benefit from the greatest amount of Neptune’s ethereal energy, sometimes struggle with limits more than March Pisceans do. Being one of the fluid zodiac signs, Pisceans like to go with the flow and despise restrictions, thus navigating strict boundaries may sometimes seem forced. It takes time and effort to master this skill, especially for Pisceans born in February.

Pisces In March Are More Competitive

True daydreamers, Pisces would rather live in a delightful fantasy world than be burdened by the harsh facts of life. However, third decan Pisceans (those born in the middle of March) are more passionate, ambitious, and ruthless than other Pisceans since they share the power-hungry planet Pluto’s sign. These cosmic fish are more outspoken and competitive than the typical quiet and pacifistic Pisces due to Pluto’s powerful and edgy influence; they’re not hesitant to go after what they want.
