Wait a minute! So if I am Aries 12 degrees, I should be born after April 3? How does that work when I was born on April 1? Thanks for the hyperlink, I looked at it, just don't understand why my April 1 birthday should be a 12 degrees?

Spring starts on the 20th of March. The day night and day has the same length. Sun is in Aries somewhere between 0 and 1 degree.

20. to 31. of March make 11 days.
Add the first of April to it: 12.
