If you were on Tumblr in the early 2010s, your feed was likely clogged with dreamy pastel images. Stills from Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, Jayne Mansfield’s pink heart-shaped bathtub, fuzzy film photos of girls in flower crowns…. We were all living in an alternative universe where we could pretend we lived in the English countryside or a 1700s French chateau. Around this time, Neptune moved into Pisces, likely signaling our obsession with rococo fantasy lands. Pisces is the dreamer of the Zodiac—it’s the final astrological sign, and by this time, we’ve seen enough of the cold, harsh real world! We want endless sun-drenched afternoons; a long, indulgent dinner; and a glamorous late-night party. Pisces would much rather spend their time luxuriating in their fantasies than dealing with the boring minutiae of day-to-day life.
Pisces might have their heads in the clouds, but they’re also incredible visionaries. They have a pitch-perfect intuition about what looks good and how to curate the right vibe. Yet they’re also secretly picky perfectionists—they’ll search the ends of the world for the right chairs and cups, and then end up buying a million of them. During Pisces season, it’s time to ask ourselves—what would our home look like if we had no limits, no boundaries, if we could do whatever we wanted with it? And then taking our time to turn that fantasy into a plausible reality. These Pisces celebrities have tapped into their creative senses and offer inspiration for all of us, no matter what sign we are.
Build a pastel paradise
Millennials obviously love pastel color palettes—we basically claimed baby pink and light lavender as our own. But nobody loves pastels the way a Pisces loves pastels. Bryce Dallas Howard is such a fan that she outfitted her entire “glamorous cretaceous” LA house in these gentle shades. You can take your pick of her soft pink circle pillows, light green Smeg appliances, or her pink-and-green custom embroidery.
