Britney Jean Spears = an American entertainer.

While a teenage dance and song performer, Ms. Spears became an international communications media celebrity.
Her marriages, divorces, child custody battles, mental health episodes, and lifestyle habits became daily feedings for the tabloid press.
Her media image has become an icon [Simha lagna] of teen sexuality, athletic physical fitness, "Bas Couture" fashion, and train-wreck early marriage with children.

Distinctive features of the Nativity:

Karakamsha = 5, entertainment

Yogakaraka L-4/L-9 Mangala = Simha lagna

Mangala at 29 Simha (Uttaraphalguni) rises in lagna approx 28 Magha
an extremely fortunate position for Mangala, the karaka of athletic competition, in the rashi of fashion, celebrity and regal superiority. Cf. Michael Jackson the internationally renowned entertainer/dancer/choreographer, Mangala in Mesha radix lagna (speculative)
L-5/L-8 Guru period, her age 28-44, where Guru = L-12/L-3 from Chandra, will give reasonably good results. Likely a marriage in Guru/Guru because Brihaspati = lord of navamsha and gochara Rahu-Ketu will transit Mithuna-Dhanusha from onset of Guru mahadasha approx Sept-2010 until June-2011

Chandra

L-12 Chandra in domain-6 = emotional troubles

Behari says, "The Moon in [Makara/6] restricts mental development, leaving you at the mercy of karmic forces throughout life. All efforts to orient your life in a specific direction according to your desire will be ineffective in the face of destiny. You will live and mix with laborers who have few altruistic notions about life. You will have plenty of money, but not peace of mind or social respectability."
L-12 = dissolution of identity, loss of connection to the physical body.
Rahu/Chandra period: Rahu greatly amplifies His lord Soma
Ms. Spears' public reputation slipped into extreme notoriety and eventual disgrace .

Chandra in Shravana Nakshatra:

Considerations re: rectified time of birth:
A world-famous dancer-choreographer would reasonably be born with Moon in the "drumbeat" nakshatra pair, Shravana - Sravishtha .
00:30 BT gives Chandra-Sravana. (On the date of birth, 02-Dec-1981, in southern Mississippi USA, Chandra does not move into Dhanishtha until later in the evening. )
Valerie Roebuck says, "22-Sravana and 23-Sravistha (Dhanishta) are a pair, even though they are not called purva-uttara like the other nakshatra pairs. " ~~ Circle of Stars, p. 100
- Shravana may be equally auspicious as Sravistha/Dhanishtha, for expressions of dancing genius.
- Shravana has the famous quality of extreme alertness of "hearing" which is typically cast as an emotionally fixated listening to what others are saying about oneself.
- Shravishta natives are known for sustained attention to upholding their public reputation, to the point of obsession. The good hearing "Shra" would necessarily benefit dance and musical performance.

L-12 Chandra in Ripu Bhava with Ketu

Shravana Chandra occupies domain-6 with the addictions-karaka Shukra-6 + Ketu. Yikes.
Ms. Spears became remarkably famous, or rather infamous, in the international celebrity-watch media in 2008.
The cause célèbre was not unfortunately her disciplined and detailed artistic performance, but rather a media-amplified display of drug abuse (Chandra+Shukra + Ketu), mental illness (Chandra + Ketu in 6), and difficulties regarding her sustained, high-profile divorce (6) and its child-custody (Chandra) battle (6).

Ketu

Ketu + L-10 Shukra = Ambivalence in the public's approval. Wild applause and breathtaking sales of her products coupled with stern disapproval and boycotting of her products have marked Ms. Spears' career since her pre-teen performance days. She has been "banned" in government middle schools as being a sexed-up inappropriate role model encouraging young girls to wear provocative clothing, but also praised and honored in the music industry for her dedication to craft and genuine creative intelligence.
Ketu + lord of 10th-from-Moon, Shukra, indicates a aura which is available to receive large-scale projections of the collective unconscious (cf. Jacquie Kennedy or Mother Teresa)
Ketu + Chandra reveals a deep personal ambivalence in her relationship with her mother.
Chandra is also lord of Rahu. Das/Behari says of Rahu/Karkata/12: "Rahu will make you highly emotional, receptive to premonitions from the other word, and prone to fits of depression."

Shukra in Makara, superior career in beauty and fashion

Chandra + Shukra in any rashi is a classic indicator that that native is "spoiled" by material indulgence of the parents
Shukra is highly auspicious in Makara rashi, where the daityaguru brings excellent bone structure and a pleasing bodily architecture that is generally perceived as both strong and beautiful.
Other Shukra-Makara include Oprah Winfrey (whose early career involved winning beauty contests), the fashion model Cindy Crawford, actor Brad Pitt, model and decorating magnate Ivana Trump, and singer Aretha Franklin.
Shukra = lord of 10th from Chandra = strongly emotional or romantic-sexual appeal in the professional expression.

The mother is a highly influential but deeply volatile and problematic figure as well, undoubtedly a strong force in the native's career management but also perhaps "emotionally unavailable" at the deeper levels of maternal nurturing.

Marriages

Per Parashara, Simha lagna has a notoriously difficult experience of marriage, unless certain requirements are satisfied. The Simha native, whether male or female, is always advised to marry an elder spouse or at the very least a spouse who is already in possession of a degree of social respect or professional seniority.

Ms. Spears married two very young men with no record of social or professional accomplishment, except in the latter case one was an accomplished maker of babies.

According to Parashara, a young and inexperienced husband is a recipe for disaster for the Simha native, who must form a marriage relationship based on respect for age, social status, professional responsibility, or other conservative qualities of Shani.

It is true that Shani as karaka for the second husband (in a female nativity) has some small legitimacy for the Simha marriage. A second marriage usually presumes that the native has acquired, through experience, a greater degree of maturity, patience, sobriety, etc.

Husband-1 = Guru

no tenants in Guru's houses = no major karmas activated by Husband-1
Guru is fairly weak in a rashi of Shukra.
L-5/L-8 Guru -- L-12/L-3 from Chandra -- in 3rd-from-lagna = this person is mainly a close (sibling-type of) friend
Guru casts no drishti upon any graha in radix and receives no drishti from any graha in radix.
Das says of Guru/Thula/3, "You will earn well, support siblings and other relations, and have a religious temperament."

Husband-2 = Shani - a powerful influence in the native's life

three tenants in Shani's houses = L-3 Shukra + L-10 Shukra + L-12 Chandra + Ketu = significant media-publication, career, loss-identity karmas + Ketu's detached confusion = activated by Husband-2
Shani casts drishti upon L-1 Surya [identity], and upon L-2/L-11 Budha [savings + income = wealth]
Shani = L-1/L-2 from Chandra = fertility, creation of own family
Shani in domain-2, family of origin is exceptionally materialistic (+ lord Budha receives drishti of Shani) and rather vulgar
Shani = L-6/L-7 from radix lagna = marriage (7) and divorce (6)
- L-6 = conflict, animosity, loss of balance, inability to sustain marriage agreements (divorce), debt, illness.
- The second husband =L-6, therefore in lawsuits against the native (e.g., child-custody suit) the second husband can be an accuser.
The second husband, represented by Shani as lord of Chandra, knows the native's character and motivations quite intimately. He is a powerful force of both positive and negative effect.

Rahu mahadasha = age 10-until-28

Rahu gives effect of Chandra and Shukra,

Shukra = L-10 career = Entertainment Career begins age 10

Behari says of Rahu/Karkata/12: "Rahu will make you highly emotional, receptive to premonitions from the other word, and prone to fits of depression."
