Question

What is the zodiac sign of Adar in a regular and leap year?

Answer

The zodiac sign of Adar is Pisces. In a leap year, the later authorities are divided on whether the sign of Aquarius, which belongs to the month of Shevat, continues to influence the first Adar, or whether the sign of Pisces begins to prevail. In the month of Adar II, the later authorities also debate whether the sign of Pisces prevails, or if it is a month without any sign at all. The Chizkuni writes regarding the verse "Choose for us men and go out to fight Amalek" (Exodus 17), that one should choose men born in the second Adar, as they need not fear witchcraft, for there is no sign in that month, and the Amalekites are sorcerers. They have power over the twelve signs, and when there is no sign, witchcraft does not succeed.
