Astrological References in Doja Cat’s Newest Music Video

Doja Cat recently released the music video for ‘You Right’, featuring The Weeknd. It is one of the songs off her newest album, “Planet Her”. 

To the naked eye, the video is a space-themed conflict between Doja Cat, The Weeknd, and another man.

However, the video is actually flooded with many astrological references.

Directed by Quentin Deronzier, the video opens with a modelesque Doja Cat standing between two ends of a scale. Scales symbolically represent balance, equality, and justice. In astrology, these themes also represent the sun sign of Libra.

Doja Cat has her sun sign in Libra and represents it by wearing her hair in the symbol of the sign.

Doja Cat uses astrological references throughout her newest video.

Effortlessly and breathtakingly, she walks toward the balance scale to reveal that it’s holding a beating heart on one end and a game of chess on the other. This astrological reference shows the balance between head and heart that most Libras, like Doja Cat, struggle to maintain.

The video continues with not only astrological references, but references to tarot and the popular astrology app, ‘The Pattern’ through stunning cinematics.

“What’s cool about this video is— you don’t see this much, but I wanted to touch on astrology and zodiac signs and how they effect each other. I don’t do it so much in the video, like it’s not that obvious. So I feel like that was a good way to kind of twist it and reveal it in a music video,” said Doja Cat in a recent interview.

The Weeknd makes his appearance in the stars as Doja Cat ascends into the galaxy.

As Doja longs for him, the two air signs are together for a millisecond before he beams her back down to earth. He then becomes a water bearer and showers her with water from above. 

Being the sun sign of Aquarius, the sign of the water bearer, The Weeknd represents his own sun sign. As an Aquarius, water represents spiritual knowledge. The goal of the Aquarius is to fill his barrel and share his knowledge with the world.

At the end of the video, Doja Cat sits on her bed with a man she doesn’t want as water pours through the ceiling. With buckets surrounding her, she attempts to fill them up with water from The Weeknd, who forever remains in the stars.
