Dates are for years without 29 February. If 29 February falls inside your year, periods after it start one day earlier.
Each year of your life also has a planet of its own, based on your age. Divide your age by 7: a remainder of 0 is a Mercury year, 1 Venus, 2 Mars, 3 Jupiter, 4 Saturn, 5 Uranus and 6 Neptune. Read about planet years.
