In that scenario, do you round up or down on the date? I’d probably round up, since the 29th of February falls on the date that the 1st of March usually does on most years, right?
I’d round down, so their birth month remains the same.
This is critically important for horology, as you cannot upset the balance of the astrological month. Such inconsistencies will inevitably lead to the deformation of your baby’s brain causing them to look like those drooling wojaks.
/s because somebody probably actually believes that shit.
Horology is the study of clocks. You probably meant astrology/horoscopes.
For the sake of horoscopes either is fine - the zodiacal sign changes from Aquarius to Pisces somewhere between the 18th and the 21th, way before the end of the month. And most people don’t even know the hour that they’re born in, even if relevant for the placement of the 12 houses (including the ascendant, the start of the 1st house), and commemorating your birthday a bit before or after has zero to do with it.

No need. The baby won’t remember their birth day. Just lie that they were born 28/Feb instead.
When they’re old enough to know the truth, they’ll also immediately understand why you lied!

Reminds me of Ron Swanson selling flutes to the local cult. Respect the hustle
Oh yeah, lol. Pretty sure I should have known that
It’s not that much zanier than regular astrology.
Just do it alternating - one year Feb 28th, the next Mar 1st
I’d probably round it down. Not just to keep the same birth month (as Rodeo) said, but also to give it a “we’re commemorating it earlier!” vibe.
