Born on February 6, 2013?

Mercury, Mars and Neptune were all in Pisces, so everyone born that day carries a strong Pisces streak alongside their Aquarius Sun. Mercury and Neptune sat less than a degree apart in Pisces, a close conjunction shared by every chart from that day.

Planet signs are only part of the picture. Your rising sign changes about every two hours and the Moon moves half a degree an hour, so your exact birth time and place decide your houses, angles and Moon degree.
