Discover the mystery behind the fame and stardom of Pisces.
By Samantha Maffucci — Written on Nov 23, 2020
While some say Leo zodiac signs are destined for fame and fortune, those born between February 19 and March 20, under the Pisces sign, are just as likely to rise.
In astrology, Pisces is represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions, a symbol of the duality within their innate nature. And as a water sign, their personality is both creative and adaptable, though they can also be unpredictable like the sea.
When it comes to Hollywood, there are plenty of famous Pisces whose personalities match these traits.
That’s because Pisces can either sink or swim, and those who have swum to great heights are the many great innovators, leaders, fighters of humanitarian ideals, actresses, musicians, athletes, and trailblazers of uncharted territories.
Pisces is ruled by planet Neptune, which is related to religion, law, and philanthropy. It’s also the planet which reigns over fantasies and dreams, and is known to represent the subconscious. Pisces can easily get caught up in their own world, which makes them perfect for fame!
