Aquarius dates
When is Aquarius season?
Aquarius season usually runs from January 20 to February 18. But the Sun keeps its own clock, and it crosses into Aquarius at a different minute every year. Here is that moment for each year between 1930 and 2050, and for this year in your own time.
The water bearer, pouring something new into the depth of winter.

Add Aquarius season to my calendarWhat Aquarius season asks of all of us
Deep winter, clear cold skies, and Aquarius season asks us to imagine the future. It is the month for friendship, strange ideas and the version of yourself nobody saw coming. Community matters more than usual, and so does freedom. Be a little weird. It suits everyone right now.
Reach out to a friend you have drifted from, or finally join the group you keep circling.
Written from the northern hemisphere, where these seasons were first named. South of the equator the weather flips, and the sign keeps its meaning.
Which third of Aquarius are you?
The Sun spends about ten days in each third of a sign. These are the dates for 2027, Greenwich time. Your birthday lives in one of them.
Ruled by Uranus
Uranus governs this first stretch as it governs the whole sign, and Saturn, the old ruler, still keeps a hand on the keys. Inventive, principled and independent, you move to your own rhythm.
Born January 20?Ruled by Mercury
Mercury lights up the mind. You are curious and quick, full of ideas, and your conversations wander into brilliant places.
Born January 30?Ruled by Venus
Venus warms the water bearer. You care about fairness and friendship, and your kindness is wide and quietly radical.
Born February 9?Born on the edge?
If your birthday is January 19, January 20, January 21 or February 17, February 18, February 19, February 20, your Sun sign depends on the year and even the hour you were born. Tap your day to find out which side of the line you landed on.

The Aquarius in you
Aquarius season arrives in the depth of winter, when the light is growing back but spring is still only a rumour. You belong a little to the future. You have never been good at thinking what you were told to think, and your heart is big enough for strangers on the other side of the world. People are drawn to you most when you stop trying to fit in.
How common is Aquarius?
In US birth records from 1994 to 2014, 7.93% of babies were born under Aquarius, about 79 in every 1,000. That makes Aquarius number 10 of 12, where 1 is the most common.
Why the dates move
Our calendar counts 365 days, but the Sun takes about 365 days and 6 hours to come back to the same point in the sky. So each year it crosses into Aquarius roughly six hours later than the year before, until a leap day pulls the calendar back into step. That is why the first and last days of every sign can belong to either side.
Between 1930 and 2050, Aquarius season begins as early as January 19, 2049 at 15:41 and as late as January 21, 1932 at 06:06, Greenwich time.

Questions about Aquarius dates
When does Aquarius season start in 2027?
In 2027 the Sun enters Aquarius on Wednesday, January 20 at 07:30 Greenwich time, and moves on into Pisces on Thursday, February 18 at 21:33.
What are the dates for Aquarius?
Aquarius usually runs from January 20 to February 18. If your birthday is January 19, January 20, January 21, February 17, February 18, February 19, February 20, check your birth year, because the exact days shift a little every year.
Why do the Aquarius dates change from year to year?
Our calendar counts 365 days, but the Sun takes about 365 days and 6 hours to come back to the same point in the sky. So each year it crosses into Aquarius roughly six hours later than the year before, until a leap day pulls the calendar back into step. That is why the first and last days of every sign can belong to either side. Between 1930 and 2050, Aquarius season begins as early as January 19, 2049 at 15:41 and as late as January 21, 1932 at 06:06, Greenwich time.
