Country crooners tend to be Virgo (Faith Hill, Shania Twain, LeAnn Rimes), soulful divas are usually at least a bit Aries (Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Jill Scott) and certified platinum pop stars have lately been mostly Sagittarius sirens. Miley Cyrus’ concerts gave many parents nightmares and made many ticket hawkers very happy this year. Taylor Swift’s sophomore album had the strongest Billboard numbers of practically any ambitious female artist this year. Britney Spears after a decade in the business wants the world to believe that she’s once again sane and determined with her new effort, The Circus. Christina Aguilera is already toasting a Greatest Hits album with champagne in one hand and a healthy baby in the other. Why are Sag ladies such appealing pop candies?

  1. These talents are not afraid to try on a shiny leotard while other signs itch to put on more conservative dresses.
  2. They publicly learn from their mistakes (Miley in Vanity Fair, Britney going bold, Christina suddenly becoming dirty) and make more comebacks than Michael Jordan. Every experience and setback is the mean of learning for these optimists.
  3. Sag girls love travel. So being in a different tour hotel room for half of the year can actually be comforting to them.
  4. They’re relatable because they’re openly funny and endearingly flawed at the same time.
  5. Sag pop stars see their careers as one big adventure and that translates to obsessive fan interest.
