Pisces is right.
This is about the equinox in mid-March. Pisces today from 12 March to 19 April.
The calendar correction around 1582 must be taken into account. The jump of +2 weeks.
So Pisces would be correct from the beginning of March.
This is how I still remember it.
The Sun is in this sign on average between 19 February and 20 March. Due to the migration of the vernal equinox, the sign of Pisces no longer corresponds exactly to the constellation of Pisces. Currently, the Sun is in the constellation of Pisces approximately between 12 March and 19 April.
On 24 February 1582, Gregory XIII decreed in his bull "inter gravissimas" that in a cycle of 400 years there would be three times no shift, at the full centuries. The Pope radically corrects the ten-day time shift that has occurred: "We therefore order and command that ten days be taken out of the month of October of the year 1582, from October 5 to October 14 inclusive."
This also explains why the Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas later. Old calendar.
