The Moon pulls the sign inward, toward memory and mood, and makes it react before it decides. The last ten degrees of Aquarius already turn toward Pisces, which is why this third often reads as the most complicated.

The Moon and nakshatra columns change every year because the Moon returns to the same calendar date in a different position — which is why a birth date alone cannot tell you those, and why this table exists.

The most frequent is 5 with 12 years; every other number, 11 included, turns up in 11 years. And this date can carry a master number: 11 in 11 of those years — kept whole rather than reduced. Why 11, 22 and 33 are treated differently →
Why the answer almost always holds
February 17 sits 28 days past the start of Aquarius and reached 28°49′ this year — close enough to the end of the sign that the hour starts to count: in 4 of those 100 years a birth at the end of the day, in time zones well behind Greenwich, had the Sun already in Pisces. At midday it is Aquarius in every year tested, so on this date the question worth asking is the birth time, not the birth year.
