Pisces Dates: The Sun is in Pisces each year from approximately February 19 to March 20. This is in the Tropical Zodiac.
Note: Why do different books and sites have slightly different date ranges for Sun signs? This is because these dates are approximate. The precise date and time Pisces starts and ends varies slightly from year to year. As such, if you were born on or close to the beginning and ending dates, you will need a Sun Sign Calculator to be certain of the sign.

Water signs are fluid, emotional, and intuitive.
Pisces’ modality is MUTABLE. There are four mutable signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
Mutable signs are flexible, adaptable, and changeable. Although they can be inconsistent and lack follow-through, they are ready to make small changes and adjustments to accommodate others.
