The Britney Spears Song You Should Listen To If You're An Aries
She's left a strong and complicated legacy as a pop princess (via Time), and most of us can easily recall the hold Britney Spears' music had on us in the early 2000s — body, mind, and soul. She painted the landscape of the early aughts with her vibrant albums, most notably "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!...I Did It Again." Just about any Millennial will be swept with nostalgia within seconds of hearing the first notes play.
The turmoil, injustice, and heartbreak of what would unfold in the following years of her life and conservatorship (which thankfully has ended) have shown us the dangers of the music industry and childhood stardom. She is, of course, much more than a cautionary tale, and her loving fanbase is protectively by her side.
Celebrities, such as Billie Eilish and Courtney Love, have been vocal in their defense of her, showing tribute through covers and support in interviews (via Time).
Passionate Aries is a fire sign just like Britney
Fire signs are known for their strong leadership qualities and go-getter attitude. If you were born under the sign of the ram, between March 21 and April 19, you likely leap before you look, keep on the sunny side of life, and are more than determined to be the best (via Allure).
One could say that an Aries knows how to fall. They lack the caution that earth signs, such as Taurus, may possess and aren't afraid to go for it — for better or worse.
Britney Spears is a Sagittarius, with characteristics such as cheery determination — just like Aries. Both are fiercely strong and independent. Astrologers say that each sign embodies the challenges and strengths of the preceding zodiac signs (via Allure).
Since Aries is the first sign of the wheel, they live a pioneering life with a naive confidence and not many examples to learn from. You do have to hand it to them: This takes a certain resiliency and strength.
Stronger is the perfect song for any Aries
Britney Spears' hit song "Stronger" from her 2000 album "Oops!...I Did It Again" is an Aries anthem. It's the ultimate call of independence, rebellion, and self-reliance. Any Aries will likely relate to her lyrics in this Billboard Hot 100 hit. She sings, "It's nothing but my way / my loneliness ain't killing me no more / I, I'm stronger," perfectly capturing Aries' attitude.
Director Joseph Khan worked with Spears on her "Stronger" music video and told MTV News in a 2009 interview, "For 'Stronger,' she said, 'I would like dance in a chair and drive in a car and breakup with [my] boyfriend,'" and that's just what happened.
As you likely recall, the video opens with a dark lightning storm and an unimpressed Spears dismissing her guy with a sassy "whatever" before confidently striding off to dance. This is peak fire sign energy and Aries personified.
It's also quite fitting that Britney has her Seventh House in Aries, according to Astro Charts. The Seventh House represents relationships and romantic partners (Allure). Aries in the Seventh House appropriately embodies independence in relationships, passion, and, you guessed it — strength.
