Playlists Each Zodiac Sign Needs To Hear

A playlist is a mirror to the mind and soul. The songs we listen to are reflections of our deepest thoughts and feelings. If someone is spending the end of August with “summer depression” by girl in red on repeat, I can already tell that they just can’t wait for fall (yes, I’m “someone”).  By channeling our emotions into the music we listen to, we can escape from the busy world around us and learn more about ourselves through the lyrics we relate to the most. 

Astrology and the zodiac signs act as tools towards discovering the core characteristics of ourselves. They help us understand what we appreciate most in life, what we were born to achieve, what we find the most difficult to do, and much, much more.  

Below are 12 playlists carefully curated to represent each of the zodiac signs. From unskippable bops to new discoveries, from oldies to new releases, each playlist is filled with songs that each sign desperately needs to hear. 


Aries (March 21st - April 19th)

An Aries, born between March 21st and April 19th, is courageous and determined. They are passionate about the goals they set, but can often be turbulent and impatient, leading them to have many unfinished projects.

Their playlists should be the background music to their adventures, and should be filled with songs that can match and foster their energy.
