Jay Davidson through the eyes of an astrologer
The birthday of the actor and model is March 20, which means that he is protected by the zodiac symbol Pisces.
The constellation Pisces endows its “wards” with well-developed intuition, industriousness and dreaminess. These ideal seekers often experience the deepest disappointment, as life “throws up” situations and events to them, confirming that the world is far from perfect.
