Before we get sewing, here are 3 fun facts about the Pisces Constellation:
- Two Fish Tied Together: Pisces is represented as two fish tied together and is usually related to the Greek myth of Aphrodite and Eros, who jumped into a river to escape a sea monster.
- Not Super Bright: Pisces is a little tricky to see because its stars aren’t the brightest.
- In Astrology: Pisces represents those born between February 19 to March 20.
