Born on February 17.
The solar coordinate
On February 17 the Sun stands at 28°18′–29°04′ Aquarius. The span, measured at noon UTC across 2024–2027, is why the atlas quotes a range and not a single degree: the calendar drifts against the sky through the leap-year cycle, and your birth year and hour decide where in this band your own Sun sits.
Decan and bound
The degree falls in the 3rd decan of Aquarius, whose Chaldean ruler is Moon, and inside the Egyptian bound of Saturn. In traditional practice these sub-rulers shade how the Aquarius Sun expresses itself — a Moon-toned Aquarius rather than a generic one.
Transits to this degree in 2026
- Uranus forms a square to the February 17 solar degree within 1.2° — a slow transit that colors this birthday year, not just the day.
