March 20 is a changeover day. At noon UTC across the 41 years from 1992 to 2032, the Sun was in Pisces in 24 years and Aries in 17 years.

The Sun moved from Pisces into Aries on March 20 in 37 of those years. The latest time in this span is 20 March 2032 at 01:21 UTC. That minute is the same tropical crossing the zodiac calculator uses. A birth city changes which clock time it falls on.

Aries dates are March 21 to April 19. It is a fire sign, cardinal, ruled by Mars. Pisces is the sign just before it. Bold, direct, quick to start things.

March 20 sits within two days of a sign change on March 21. If the birth was late on this date, check the year in the calculator rather than the printed range.

In 2024 at noon UTC, the Sun on March 20 is in the first decan of Aries, the early 10 degrees of the sign. The triplicity sub-ruler of that slice is Mars.

The constellation behind the Sun on March 20 is Pisces. That is the true place of the Sun in the stars, and it is a separate fact from the astrological sign.

Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, and Mars still need a birth time and place. This page only settles the Sun sign.

Questions

What zodiac sign is March 20?

March 20 can be Pisces or Aries. The Sun's tropical longitude at noon UTC is the same 30 degree sign the zodiac calculator reports for a 12:00 UTC birth. In some years from 1992 to 2032 the sign changes on this date, so the year and the clock decide. Confirm the minute in the calculator.

Is March 20 a cusp birthday?

Yes. A cusp here means the Sun crosses a sign boundary on or near March 20 in the years we checked. The crossing minute comes from the same engine as the calculator, not from a printed range. Your city and clock can place the birth in either sign. The year table lists noon UTC for each year.

What is the March 20 star sign?

People searching for the March 20 star sign usually mean the Sun sign. On this page that is Pisces, a water sign, mutable, ruled by Neptune, in the early decan with Mars as the triplicity sub-ruler. Pisces dates are February 19 to March 20. The constellation behind the Sun is a separate fact.
