March 19 in profile
Twenty-eight degrees is nearly the end of Pisces and of the whole zodiac cycle, and the date feels like it: reflective, experienced, slightly impatient for something new. The Scorpio decan, under Mars, keeps the emotional current strong. This date is Pisces in almost every case, though anyone born far from Greenwich time may want to check a chart. Traditional astrology links Scheat, in the body of Pegasus, with restlessness and big plans that can be hard to steer.
They talk like people who have lived a little longer than their age. Conversations with them slide quickly from the weather to what someone is really afraid of. They are frank in private and guarded in public, sharing more at two in the morning than at a dinner party. On the phone they listen more than they speak, and their best advice usually comes in one short line.
Friendship for them is intense and selective. They keep a small inner circle, people who have seen them at their worst, and stay loyal for decades. Newcomers are tested slowly, often without knowing it. Falling out is rare but final. A softer habit is leaving one door ajar, a card sent each year, so that friendships can mend if both sides later want them to.
Pisces near the cusp
In every year from 1930 to 2040 the Sun was in Pisces for the whole of March 19 in Greenwich time (UTC). The change of sign happens within a day of this date, though, so a birth in a time zone far from UTC (New Zealand, Hawaii or the Pacific) can fall in Aries. If that is you, the birth chart calculator settles it from your time and city.
Calculated by Lunonis from the same ephemeris code as our charts (astronomy-engine, checked against Swiss Ephemeris): geocentric, tropical zodiac, true equinox of date. Times are UTC: add or subtract your time zone’s offset, which can move the change to the day before or after.
Your Moon sign depends on the year
The Sun is in the same place on March 19 every year; the Moon is not. It changes sign every two and a half days, so people who share this birthday can have any of the twelve Moon signs. Here is where it was on March 19 in recent years, from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC (an arrow means it changed sign during the day).

Compatible signs for a Pisces
Sun-sign compatibility starts from the element. Pisces gets on most easily with its own element and with the two sextile signs, and feels the strongest pull from its opposite. For a March 19 birthday, in the Scorpio decan, Scorpio is a natural match. The full charts decide how a real pairing feels.

Asked about March 19
What zodiac sign is March 19?
March 19 is Pisces. In Greenwich time the Sun is in Pisces all day in every year from 1930 to 2040; only a birth in a time zone far from UTC can fall in Aries.
Is March 19 a cusp birthday?
Only just. March 19 is next to the day the Sun changes sign, so it is Pisces in UTC but can be Aries for births in far eastern or western time zones. There is no blend of the two: a chart with the birth time and city gives one sign.
What decan is March 19?
March 19 falls in the 3rd decan of Pisces. In the triplicity system we use, that decan belongs to Scorpio and its ruler Mars (modern: Pluto), which colours the Pisces Sun with a little of Scorpio.
Your birthday is only the Sun
A March 19 birthday tells you where the Sun was. The Moon, the Rising sign and eight more planets each sit somewhere of their own, and they depend on the year, the hour and the place. The free calculator shows all of them.
