February is almost over, which means Pisces season is fast approaching! This sign rules from February 19 to March 20 and is the last in the zodiac calendar. Due to its conclusive nature, this period brings along a time to both celebrate and reflect, the perfect opportunity to think about the changes that may lie ahead while bringing along a fresh start. These whimsical traits are what make people born in this period so special. Represented by the symbol of the two fishes swimming to depict their ambivalent nature, they live in a constant state of fantasy and reality.
To celebrate this dreamy era that’s about to begin, we’ve rounded up our favorite Pisces athletes and the moments that best express their signs’ defining personality traits.

Due to their emotional nature, Pisces tend to feel everything deeply. This also means they tend to be vulnerable, which is often mistaken as a weakness. However, if anyone has proven the power of feeling their feelings, it is Simone. The GOAT of gymnastics might be known for her impressive skills, but nothing will ever compare to the strength and resilience she has shown time and time again when opening up about her mental health struggles and the role these emotions play in her performance. It takes courage to feel so emotionally exposed, and she has been a great advocate of embracing these moments and coming out of them stronger.
Spiritual: Shaquille O’Neal (March 6)

These empathic and deep feelings can often lead to other types of emotional expressions, including spirituality. Pisces have an interest in the mystical—they are sensitive souls trying to find their way. Shaq has been open about his spirituality, having grown up with a Baptist mother and a Muslim stepfather. He was also exposed to Christian and Islamic beliefs during his childhood, opening up his spiritual path to embrace different perspectives on how to make sense of the world. He once admitted, "I'm Muslim, I'm Jewish, I'm Buddhist, I'm everybody 'cause I'm a people person"—a true testament to Pisces' empathic nature.
Creative: Tua Tagovailoa (March 2)

As Pisces are dreamers by nature, this translates into a deep sense of creativity, allowing them to think outside the box and explore limitless possibilities. The Miami Dolphins QB is the perfect example of this, being known for his innovative playmaking skills. He has one of the fastest releases in the league, allowing him to act quickly and come up with spontaneous, yet effective solutions on the spot. This unpredictability is also characterized by his rare left-handed throwing style, a skill that has allowed him to develop his own special technique.
Romantic: Stephen Curry (March 14)

It might sound a bit repetitive at this point, but the deep emotional aspect of Pisces also translates into their romantic side. They are considerate and thoughtful, making them devoted partners and the biggest lovers of love. No one embodies this better than Steph Curry, who has built a beautiful relationship with his wife Ayesha after tying the knot in 2011. In the last decade, they have welcomed four children together and built a strong family foundation based on their shared faith and deep love for each other. Ayesha credits him for being thoughtful and caring, exemplified by the time he surprised her with a wedding vow renewal ceremony officiated by Riley, their oldest daughter. She described it as “the most beautiful surprise,” further proof of Steph’s undeniable Pisces thoughtfulness.
These athletes are the true embodiment of how iconic Pisces are, an undeniable testament to how their deep sense of emotion has been the guiding light through their professional careers. Here’s to hoping this last astrological season brings a renewed vision of new goals to achieve, with the knowledge that wearing your heart on your sleeve will bring rewarding results! Happy Pisces era!
