March 20th - Pisces or Aries?

I was trying to pull up someones chart. I forget if they are 1988 or 1987, but each told me a different sun sign for Mar 20th. 87 was pisces and 88 was aries. I realize it is on the cusp so they have the potential to have both traits from the two, but why is it switching on me when I enter in a different year?

Should I just pronounce them as both a pisces and an aries?

No, they're an Aries. My brother has this birthday, and no way does he have Pisces in him.

It does depend on the year you were born.. the Sun does not move into a NEW sign at - EXACTLY - the same time each year, so the dates for the different Sun signs may vary by a day or so. Exact birth-time is critical too, the closer to ZERO Degrees of arc one is born.

it all depends who you ask, but by definition, it is a cusp that shows traits of both.

I've read recently that there is no such thing as a cusp sign, that you are either born under one sign or you're born under another, there's no inbetween and that the cusp sign is just fluff for astrologers. I'm not quite sure I agree, I don't see why a person couldn't have traits of two signs...hell I don't think anyone fully has all the traits of the sun sign they were born under.

Alright so went ahead and asked his year. Was surprised he's actually younger than I thought so he is in fact an Aries. But the cool thing is he has a venus in pisces. So sweet 🙂

But that mars in gem tho....ew.

i know right? What about Sidereal astrology/astrolgists and those Vedic astrologers? Billions believe in that stuff. Maybe they're all delusional and tropic astrogers are also delusional. lol 😆

I have March 20th birthday and I have always been told it's Pisces. I am def. a Pisces but have some Aries tendencies. I believe in cusps just different degrees.

what's wrong with the gemini mars? You afraid, Kitsune? omg he's got Jupiter Gemini too, he's dominant Gemini. Just looking at that alone w/out astrotheme or astro.com chart, he looks dominant gemini and dominant pisces, then cap. You're gonna have to deal with the Gemini stuff.

oh that's PERFECT for you, kitsune, as you've got sag, and he's got gemini. Perfect synastry /opposite attracts.

That's great, but I feel like my venus in cap does not like the way his mars in gem operates. This guy is very carefree. I need to ask more questions to gage how carefree (like if he just throws money around *shivers*) At first I thought he may be lacking in focus, but he was able to write ten pages of a story the other day, which even I don't have the patience for at the moment. He seems to be very excited about certain things...and almost aggressive in the way he presents stuff.

I think the one thing I love about his mars in gem is that it does give us some really good conversation material. And that venus in pisces makes the conversations even more interesting with a fantasy flair.

I'm the type of person who really likes my mind stimulated in flirting, but I don't know about someone who is fickle about things.

You need a birth time. There's no such thing as cusps.
