Calculating…
The Sun is in sidereal Pisces from March 14, 2026 to April 14, 2026 in 2026, calculated with the Lahiri ayanamsa. This places sidereal Pisces over most of what tropical astrology calls Aries season — many born March 21 – April 13 who find the Aries warrior-pioneer archetype doesn't describe them may be carrying a sidereal Pisces Sun, where Venus reaches exaltation at 27°.
Tropical astrology begins Pisces at the February 18 Aquarius-Pisces cusp, anchored to the equinox count. Sidereal astrology begins it when the Sun enters the actual Pisces constellation — approximately March 14. The ~24.21° offset equals Earth's accumulated axial precession since ~285 CE, when the tropical and sidereal zodiacs coincided: ~50.3 arcseconds per year × 1,740 years ≈ 24.21°. The Lahiri ayanamsa corrects for this drift in every chart Estrevia calculates, placing planets at their verified sky positions. In Jyotish tradition, Venus reaches its exaltation at 27° Pisces — making Pisces the sign where Venusian beauty, harmony, and love find their highest expression. The Sun in sidereal Pisces diffuses solar identity through this medium: boundlessness and empathy over assertion and individual will.
Why sidereal differs from tropical →
The Lahiri ayanamsa's annual growth of ~50.3 arcseconds moves the Pisces ingress about 20 minutes later each decade. In 2026 the Sun enters sidereal Pisces around March 14 and exits around April 14 — the final sign of the zodiac, completing just before Aries begins the new cycle. Year-to-year variation is a matter of hours. The seven-year table below shows Swiss Ephemeris data for 2023–2029, computed with SEFLG_MOSEPH and Lahiri ayanamsa. The March 13–15 boundary where sidereal Aquarius transitions to Pisces is a one-day window that can shift the entire solar sign interpretation — and the difference between Aquarius's intellectual orientation and Pisces's dissolution of self is substantial.
