Almost exactly 14 months ago, a fantastic lady who would become my editor asked me if I would like to start writing about the stars. When I accepted this gig my first thought was “I can’t wait to do an article about Stevie Nicks songs!” And that day has finally come!
Today is Stevie Nicks’ birthday! So we have to celebrate by pairing some of her best songs with the signs of the zodiac! Don’t forget to check your moon and rising signs as well as your sun sign.
Aries – Wild Heart
Written and performed Stevie Nicks
I think Stevie was channeling her Aries ascendant when she wrote this song. This song will appeal to Aries’ passion and reckless wild side. The cardinal fire sign will appreciate the song’s theme of embracing fearlessness and danger, even if that danger is falling in love and getting your heart broken.
Taurus – Leather and Lace
Written by Stevie Nicks. Performed by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley.
Venus-ruled Taurus had to be paired with one of Stevie’s most iconic love ballads. This song about letting go of your strength and allowing yourself to be vulnerable around the one you love will speak to the fixed earth sign on a spiritual level. Also, if there is any sign that can rock a leather and lace outfit, it’s the fabulous Taurus.
Gemini – Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You?
Written and performed by Stevie Nicks. Co-written by Keith Olsen
So I was about to pair Gemini with “Rhiannon” because Stevie herself is a Gemini and “Rhiannon” is one of her most iconic songs. However, since Geminis are the most verbally expressive sign in the zodiac, I figured this song would be perfect for them. The mutable air sign will appreciate the frank yet flowery language.
Cancer – Sisters of the Moon
Written and performed by Fleetwood Mac
Of course, I had to pair up the Moon Children with this lunar rock song. But this song’s affiliation with the moon is not the only reason why it’s paired with Cancer. This song tells the story of a woman finding a kinship and a safe space with another woman. And Cancerians love their safe spaces.
Leo – After The Glitter Fades
Written and Performed by Stevie Nicks.
If any sign could make it in Hollywood, it would be theatrical Leo. And that is one of the many reasons why this song will resonate with the fixed fire sign. Leos live their life as if the whole world is their stage because for them it’s the only life they’ve ever known. And they will love living their life this way even after the glitter fades.
Virgo – Landslide
Written and performed by Fleetwood Mac.
All Stevie fans know and love this song, but it may resonate a bit more with her Virgo fans. The iconic lyrics “I’ve been afraid of changing because I built my life around you,” will speak to the mutable earth sign’s timid nature. But the lyrics “children get older, and I’m getting older too” will speak to their pragmatism.
Libra – Rhiannon
Written and performed by Fleetwood Mac.
I’m sure you know a Libra who rings like a bell through the night. This song will appeal to the social butterfly, because even though they can be very kind and generous lovers, their ambivalence can make them seem aloof. They may promise you Heaven but don’t be surprised when they are taken by the wind.
Scorpio – Silver Springs
Written and performed by Fleetwood Mac.
The gorgeous song full of watery energy had to be paired with the fixed water sign. Scorpios will appreciate how broody and passionate this song is. They will also appreciate the subtle curse that Stevie seems to cast on a certain Fleetwood Mac member who shall remain nameless, with lyrics like “you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman who loves you.”
Sagittarius – The Highwayman
Written and performed by Stevie Nicks.
This is one of Stevie’s lesser-known songs from her Belladonna album. But I feel like this song fits self-reflective Sagittarius to a T. It will speak to the mutable sign’s ambition as well as their “fight or flight” instinct. But it will also speak to their simultaneous need for love and glory.
Capricorn – Gold Dust Woman
Written and performed by Fleetwood Mac.
Just as Stevie channeled her Aries ascendant to write “Wild Heart,” maybe she channeled her Capricorn moon for this song. Capricorns are known for being solid as a rock, so naturally they have to “rock on!” The cardinal earth sign will adore this song about a strong woman who doesn’t concern herself with the opinion of others. They are known to be excellent leaders so the lyrics like “rock on ancient Queen” will resonate with them.
Aquarius – Storms
Written and performed by Fleetwood Mac.
I have referred to Aquarians as storms before, but they are also sometimes seen as outsiders. So this song will speak to them on several different levels. Aquarians sometimes have trouble fitting in, so they will identify with the lyrics “never have I been a blue calm sea, I have always been a storm.”
Pisces – Dreams
Written and performed by Fleetwood Mac.
Pisces are known for their dreamy nature, so of course they got paired up with this song. The mutable water signs are also known to have empathic and psychic tendencies so they will love the lyrics “here I go again, I see the crystal visions.” Also, let’s be thankful to Tiktok for reintroducing the internet to this song.
Ophiuchus – Don’t Come Around Here No More
Written and performed by Tom Petty. Co-written by David A. Stewart.
Ophiuchus is not a real zodiac sign, and this song is not a Stevie Nicks song… but it was inspired by her. Learn more about that here!
