But Vedic astrology does not lead with your Sun sign
Less than you might expect. Vedic astrology leads with the Moon sign (rashi) and the rising sign (lagna) rather than the Sun, and both of those need your birth time as well as your date.
Pisces in Vedic Astrology — You Are Probably Aquarius
Western: १८ फेब्रुवारी – १९ मार्च
थोडक्यात
If you are a Pisces in Western astrology, you are most likely Aquarius (Kumbha) in Vedic astrology — about 83% of Piscess are. Piscess born १८ फेब्रुवारी – १४ मार्च are Aquarius; those born १५ मार्च – १९ मार्च stay Pisces. The two zodiacs are measured from different starting points and sit about 24 degrees apart.

What is Pisces in Vedic astrology?
Most Piscess — about 83% — are Aquarius (Kumbha) in Vedic astrology, because the sidereal zodiac runs roughly 24 degrees behind the tropical one used in the West.
Which Pisces dates stay Pisces in Vedic astrology?
Piscess born १८ फेब्रुवारी – १४ मार्च are Aquarius in Vedic astrology, and those born १५ मार्च – १९ मार्च are Pisces. The boundary moves by about a day depending on the birth year.
Why is my Vedic sign different from my Western sign?
Western astrology measures the zodiac from the March equinox; Vedic astrology measures it from the fixed stars. The equinox drifts against the stars by about a degree every 72 years, and the gap now stands at roughly 24.2 degrees — most of a sign.
Is one of the two systems wrong?
Neither is a mistake. They are two different measuring conventions, each internally consistent and each with its own body of interpretation. The signs disagree because the starting points disagree, not because one has miscalculated.
Does my Vedic Sun sign matter as much as my Western one?
Less than you might expect. Vedic astrology leads with the Moon sign (rashi) and the rising sign (lagna) rather than the Sun, and both of those need your birth time as well as your date.
