In the sky around these birthdays

Winter skies are the clearest and the earliest dark of the year — Orion, Sirius and the Winter Hexagon are overhead in the evening.

The real sky · 2026

The Sun is in Aquarius from February 17 to March 12 (24 days).

Calculated from the official constellation boundaries. The constellation is behind the Sun then, so you can’t see it; it is opposite the Sun — up all night and highest around midnight — around August, and in the early-evening sky a month or two later.

Questions

What is a good birthday gift for someone born January 20 – February 18?

Something that fits the midwinter season — a winter stargazing night — or a personal keepsake like a star map of the night they were born.

Is the Sun really in Aquarius on these birthdays?

Not for most of them. Because Earth’s axis slowly wobbles (precession), the Sun’s real dates in the constellation differ from the calendar range — see the calculation above.

Do you offer horoscopes or astrology readings?

No. We show the real night sky: star positions, the Moon and planets, calculated from astronomical data.
