Gemini:
(May 21 – June 20)

Rihanna has recently been very open with her romantic relationship with A$AP Rocky. In 2021, A$AP finally admitted to his relationship with Rihanna, calling her “the one” in an interview with GQ. In January 2022, the couple came out with the announcement that they’re expecting their first child, who was born on May 13, 2022. Gemini’s love match is a Libra, and if you want a love story like this one, you may want to keep an eye out for those Libras! They sound like a catch.

 

Cancer:
(June 21 – July 22)

Cancers are known for being the most sensitive out of the horoscopes. Luckily, Rihanna has a lengthy repertoire of emotional songs that you can tap into if you really need to get in your feels. Whether it’s a classic like “Hate That I Love You,” a heartfelt ballad like “Close To You,” or her newest release “Lift Me Up,” you can count on Rihanna’s heartbreaking bangers to help you get through anything.

 

Leo:
(July 23 – August 22)

Leos, we know you love being the centre of attention, and that’s something you definitely have in common with Rihanna. When Rihanna was only 15 years old, she formed a girl group that had the opportunity to audition for the legendary music producer Evan Rogers. Rogers has famously described the experience, saying “The minute Rihanna walked into the room, it was like the other two girls didn’t exist.” And the rest is history. Leos: Make sure you let yourself be known in any room you enter and don’t let anyone dim your light. Being the centre of attention could lead to amazing things. 

 

Virgo:
(August 23 – September 22)

Born and raised on the sunny island of Barbados, Rihanna’s love and pride for her home country is undeniable. She was recently deemed the country’s “national hero” and has been recognized for her commitment to her land of birth. Barbados is known for having the most diverse beaches and hot sunny weather. Virgos, we know you love hot vacation spots, and RiRi’s homeland is the place to go. The temperature stays above 30 degrees Celsius for most months, and has a low of 26 degrees Celsius in the months of December through February. You can choose to visit at any month of the year and you’re guaranteed a hot vacation. And who knows? You may even run into Rihanna while you’re there! She’s known to frequently visit in August for the Crop Over carnival celebration.

 

Libra:
(September 23 – October 22)

Rihanna is known for her witty, smart comebacks and has even gone viral for it in her past. Who can forget the interviewer who asked her “What are you looking for in a man?” only to be met with a reply of  “I’m not looking for a man, let’s start there.” Or how about the time a fan tweeted out at Rihanna criticising her for “flaunting” her riches and suggested for her to give a Prada bag to the less fortunate. Rihanna responded with, “My Prada shoes that I spent nothing on can’t stop anyone from dying! However, the $100,000 I just sent to the Philippines will! Now eject reject witcho ratchet ass, begging for purses! FOH!” Can someone say mic drop? We love a good comeback. Libras: listen to our girl RiRi and take some notes. Don’t let anyone get the final say.

 

Scorpio:
(October 23 – November 21)

Anyone who has been following Rihanna’s career knows she’s done it all. In 2018, Rihanna founded SAVAGE x FENTY, a lingerie brand dedicated to celebrating all genders, sizes and backgrounds. If you haven’t checked out the SAVAGE x FENTY line yet, what are you waiting for? Going against unrealistic industry standards that brands like Victoria Secret created, Rihanna’s lingerie line is perfect for any body type and will make you feel like your best self when you put it on. 

 

Sagittarius:
(November 22 – December 21)

How does a superstar like Rihanna stay in shape with a busy schedule like hers? Her secret: fish, potatoes and fruit. As a Sagittarius, you’re known for loving fish and exotic fruit, so next time try adding potatoes to the mix. I mean, who doesn’t want to look and feel like Rihanna?

 

Capricorn:
(December 22 – January 19)

Some may argue that Rihanna may be one of the most ambitious celebrities out there, and Capricorns, we know you can relate. From her music career, to her FENTY makeup line, her SAVAGE x FENTY lingerie line, or even her efforts with her humanitarian work–Rihanna. Doesn’t. Stop. As if she didn’t have enough on her plate, Rihanna did all this while  endlessly for a Super Bowl performance. Oh yeah, and let’s not forget that SHE JUST HAD A BABY. The point is: Capricorns, your ambition and work ethic is admirable, and if you ever need inspiration to keep going, take a look at Rihanna.

 

Aquarius:
(Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Rihanna is known for her commitment to giving back to the community, and in 2012 she founded the Clara Lionel Foundation, an initiative that focuses on climate injustice in the Caribbean and United States. It’s time to find a cause that you’re passionate about and knock on some doors. Go out there and make a difference!

 

Pisces:
(February 19 – March 20)

Pisces are the most creative out of all the signs, something that Rihanna clearly exemplifies. Her career spans the life of eight albums. Although she never took formal dance training, she had it in her blood and learnt throughout her career (and is incredibly good at it). Along with this, she’s a fashion designer with her SAVAGE x FENTY lingerie line and Fenty x Puma line. She is the literal definition of a Pisces. If you’re a Pisces and you’ve never explored the arts, we think it’s time you do so. You may have a natural born talent that you have never discovered before. It’s time to let that beast out!

 

Aries:
(March 21 – April 19)

Our girl RiRi knows how to be a leader and stand up for what she believes in. In 2020, Rihanna showed her support for the #EndSARS movement with a lengthy post displaying her disgust in the Nigerian government and showing admiration towards the citizens who were brave enough to protest. Rihanna is also an active advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement, and has been very vocal about bringing awareness to the brutal murders of George Floyd  and Breonna Taylor, sharing petitions on her social media and even donating to different BLM organizations. Although small, acts like this reverberate across the world and start important conversations. Aries, use this month to build your confidence to step into a leadership role and do what needs to be done!
