Jupiter and Venus, astrology’s most fortunate planets, were powerfully placed when Eva Longoria was born. This Desperate Housewife is no quiet Pisces blending into the background -- she's a natural star who shines wherever she is.
There's no denying Eva Longoria is gifted with beauty, brains, and talent. But this former Kinesiology student from Texas might never have made it to the top of primetime TV without a little help from the stars -- and we don’t mean other celebs. When Eva entered the world on March 15, 1975, Jupiter was right beside her Pisces Sun. For thousands of years, Jupiter has been regarded as the luckiest planet in the solar system -- ancient astrologers called it the “greater benefic.” This close connection between Eva’s Sun and Jupiter means opportunity galore, as well as a high potential to be recognized for her abilities. Pisces are generally considered to be sensitive and even shy. Jupiter didn’t let that happen to Eva, though. She may be petite, but with the biggest of planets lighting up her chart, getting attention comes naturally to her. L’Oreal had the right idea when they signed her on.
Venus -- astrology’s second most fortunate planet -- is also prominent in Eva’s chart. Nuzzled up tightly with her fiery Aries Moon, it gives her enormous appeal thanks to a rare combination of grace and passion. Venus – the “lesser benefic” -- is not surprisingly the planet of beauty, but its position in spontaneous Aries adds an element of danger to Eva’s profile too. Instead of just playing the role of the passive goddess, Eva’s clearly got a mind of her own. She’s no one else’s toy, but a woman whose smile shows that she’s out for a good time herself. Although boyfriend Tony Parker is about a foot taller than she, Eva never looks like anything less than her basketball-playing beau's equal.
Pisces and Aries are a steamy pair. The watery emotion of Eva’s Sun boils over with the fiery intensity of her Moon. There always seems to be something going on under the surface with Eva, as if she’s about to say or do something that will shock, seduce or delight us. But with confident Jupiter, she doesn’t have to act outrageously to make us feel like we’re in her special world. Her appeal is that whatever "it" is, she knows she's got it. She's an actress, but hers is no act -- she’s the real thing. Far more than just a beautiful face, Eva Longoria projects a unique aura that makes us feel like we're in an exotic place where our every sense is heightened and unknown possibilities for pleasure could be just around the corner.
