Born on February 17
If you were born on February 17, your Sun is in Aquarius. That is the sign the Sun was travelling through on this date, and it is the first line of any birth chart.
| Sun sign | Aquarius |
|---|---|
| Element | Air |
| Ruled by | Uranus, and Saturn in the older books |
| Day of the year | The 48th of 365 |
One honest note: the Sun changes sign very close to this date. In every year we checked, 1950 to 2049, it was in Aquarius by the middle of February 17, but a birth late in the day in some years can still fall in Pisces. A chart drawn with your year and time settles it exactly.
Your Sun in Aquarius
An Aquarius Sun often points to someone who feels most alive among ideas and people who think for themselves. You tend to gain energy from friends who respect your independence, from causes you care about, and from working out a better way to do things. Being pushed to fit in can drain you. You may enjoy being a little unusual, and you often think about how groups and communities could work more fairly. Time alone to think tends to help you return to people with fresh energy.
