Woke up this morning thinking I’d tackle something different – you know, that weird curiosity itch when you suddenly wanna know what star sign rules March 7th. No big reason, just felt like it.

Started Simple (Or So I Thought)

Grabbed my phone first thing. Figured it’d be easy – just type “March 7 zodiac” into Google, right? Bam, tons of websites popped up. Clicked the first few links. Almost every single one screamed PISCES. Okay, cool. Pisces it is. Took me like two minutes. Case closed… or was it?

Something bugged me though. A few sites mentioned dates kinda funky. Like, one said Pisces starts February 19th, another said March 20th ends it. Wait, hold up. Does that mean March 7th sits safely in Pisces land, or is it right on some weird edge? Now my brain wouldn’t drop it.

Digging Deeper (The Rabbit Hole)

Cracked open the laptop next. Time for some serious digging. I needed a definitive source. Remembered that astronomy calendar software I downloaded ages ago for tracking meteor showers (never used it much, honestly). Fired it up. Set the date to March 7th for this year. Then I poked around the sky chart settings, looking for the Sun’s position.

Here’s where my dumb moment hit: I totally forgot time zones matter for the exact moment the Sun moves between signs! Felt my forehead smack internally. Pisces usually starts around Feb 19, ends March 20. But the precise second it shifts? Depends where you are on Earth. For March 7th, though? Unless you’re sitting right on the international date line during a specific minute, it’s solidly Pisces.

Then I found this ancient-looking PDF – some digitized almanac thing. Scrolled forever. Confirmed it:

• Pisces Dates: Roughly February 19 to March 20.
• March 7 Location: Dead center in the Pisces fishbowl. No question.

The Moment of Clarity (And Facepalm)

So yeah. After going down a needlessly complicated tech rabbit hole involving celestial mechanics I barely grasp… the answer never changed from my initial two-minute phone search. March 7th is absolutely, completely, unequivocally a Pisces birthday. All that effort just to confirm my lazy Googling was right all along.

Why did I overcomplicate it? Probably the same reason I try to fix a leaky faucet with duct tape when the shut-off valve’s right there. Sometimes the simplest path is correct. Lesson learned (probably not, I’ll likely do it again). So if your birthday’s March 7th? Happy Pisces season! You got the fishes.
