The zodiac cusp in February

Between 1930 and 2030 in US Eastern Time, the Sun entered Pisces on February 18 in 59 years and on February 19 in 42 years, at different clock times. That is why some people born on February 18 are Aquarius and some are Pisces, and the same for people born on February 19.
