Were you born in February? Whether you most look forward to the Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, or getting through the coldest days of the year by cozying up with your significant other or someone special, a bucket full of popcorn, and your favorite blanket, February is a month that invites you to connect with others — even if it’s in a super low-key, restful, dreamy way. And that’s reflective of the imaginative, social, spiritually-aware vibe of this month brought to you by the astrological energies that are in play.

Whether you’re February-born yourself or you care about someone who is, read on to better understand how being born during the second month of the year influences a person’s perspective, strengths, and even challenges, according to astrological influences.

The Astrology of Being Born in February

People born in February fall under one of two zodiac signs: innovative Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) or spiritual Pisces (February 19 – March 20). Aquarians, represented by the Water Bearer, are characterized by their social, humanitarian, forward-thinking point of view and desire to innovate, think unconventionally, and strike out on their own. As a fixed air sign, they are laser-focused on what they believe and what they want to achieve. On the other hand, Pisceans, represented by the Fish, are artists and empaths whose spiritually astute and deeply feeling nature makes them natural-born healers. As the mutablewater sign, they’re adaptable but might also struggle with passivity.

That said, people born in February typically possess the gift of progressive vision, creativity, and a desire to bolster others’ well-being — whether we’re talking about their community or closest loved ones. Being born during some of the chilliest days of the whole year, when the sun’s light is only beginning to last a little bit longer into the day, February-born individuals can’t help but be dreamers, understanding that darkness might exist in the present but are capable of envisioning bright progress on the horizon.

4 Core Personality Traits of Those Born in February1. Humanitarian

There’s a reason “the Age of Aquarius” is synonymous with the idea of a humanistic, fair, and just utopia: The group-oriented fixed air sign is known for prizing community, society, and humanity over self. And similarly, Pisces, the mutable water sign, is born with a burning desire to heal the world. That said, February-born people are wired to think about how they can give back, be of service, and bolster other people’s well-being. They wouldn’t think twice about donating their time, energy, or money to a cause close to their heart. They’re proud to move through life with an eye toward doing what’s best for the world as a whole, whether that’s composting, getting involved in local activism, or helping care for others at home or in their line of work.

2. Creative

February-born people are innately artistic, inventive, and clever, thanks to both Aquarius’ modern ruler, electrifying Uranus, and Pisces’ modern ruler, idealistic Neptune. Whether they’ve always tapped into their artistic impulses and are gifted in a particular creative outlet (like dance, drawing, or graphic design), they’ve actually explored inventing something new, or they come up with out-of-the-box ideas that shock and thrill their nearest and dearest. Whether they tend to come at creative undertakings from a more rational or dreamy, rose-colored glasses place, their mind simply works in an extraordinarily brilliant way.

3. Social

Despite falling in the thick of a season with at-times challenging weather, February can’t help but be a super-social month, and, in turn, those born during this month tend to be truly people-oriented. Associated with the Eleventh House of Groups, Aquarian energy is extremely geared toward teamwork and platonic bonds. Given its association with the Twelfth House of Spirituality, huge-hearted Pisces wants to bond with loved ones, friends, and even strangers in a deeply compassionate, intuitive way. This all adds up to February-born people being truly invested in connecting with others as a priority in life.

4. Philosophical

People born in February tend to think about life in an especially expansive way, eager to learn, grow, and experience life fully. Someone with more fixed Aquarius in their birth chart will go about this in a more rational, pragmatic, resolute way than those with more mutable Pisces, as the sign of the Fish tends to go with the flow, follow their hearts, and bring a spiritual, dreamy vibe to their pursuit of knowledge. But in general, February-born people are wired to explore, daydream, let their imagination run wild, and immerse themselves in meaningful conversations about the big questions of life.
