The Type of Music Lover You Are, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Music is essentially universal, with a way of weaving itself into the very fabric of our lives—but that doesn't mean that everyone soaks up music in the same way.

It simply resonates differently with different people, whether they use music to get amped up, connect with the people they love most or be transported to a different time and place. The music people listen to can be a mirror into their souls, allowing a peek into their unique personalities, and with your zodiac sign influencing so much of who you are, it can also impact your music listening style. Curious about what astrology says about you as a music lover? Keep reading to find out.

Aries (March 21 – April 19): The Discoverer

As the first sign of the zodiac, fiery and active Aries always has to be first, and they love to be the first to discover the hottest new music. They're typically tuned in with up-and-coming and little-known artists, and because they're so adventurous, they have varied tastes and are willing to listen to anything in search of the next big thing. If you're on the hunt for something new that no one else has heard yet, just ask an Aries.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): The Repeater

Taurus is an earth sign known for dependability and a strong work ethic, and you can also depend on a Taurus to want to listen to the same music over and over and over. This sign is ruled by Venus, which governs aesthetics and indulgence, and with Taurus loving all things comfortable and familiar, they latch on to the music that sounds the most beautiful and fills them with the most feeling, and they don't let it go.

 

Gemini (May 21 – June 20): The Collector

Gemini is the social butterfly of the zodiac, which makes listening to music a social event for them as well. Whether they're sharing their favorite tunes with others or begging their friends to put on their best playlists, they view music as a bonding group activity. Likewise, their own playlists are unusual collections of everything they've gathered up over the years, and they collect bits and pieces from all around.

 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22 ): The Lyricist

Cancers are deeply emotional people, and though they try to keep their feelings hidden, they can come out in bursts of moodiness. They're homebodies who like feeling cozy and content, and when they listen to music, they're seeking tracks that speak directly to their souls—especially when it comes to the lyrics. You'll find that they know every lyric to all of their favorite songs because the more they can relate to the words being sung, the more the music means to them.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): The Party Animal

As the superstar of the zodiac, Leo is truly open to listening to any kind of music that gets the party going. This sign is ruled by the sun, and they shine just as bright, gravitating toward music with a great beat, catchy hook and chantable chorus. The louder, the better—especially when they want to have all eyes on them.

 

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): The Classicist

Studious and brainy Virgos tend to be lovers of the classics—but that doesn't necessarily mean that all they listen to is classical music. They're scholars of music, with a love for retro tunes with history, and chances are that if you catch them listening to a decades-old hit, they'll have the knowledge to tell you a little bit about it.

 

Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): The Top 20 Fan

Kind and generous Libras are also known for being people-pleasers who prefer to go with the flow, and they're not super picky when it comes to picking up new music they'll love. When they listen to the radio, there won't be a Top 20 hit they don't like, and the Billboard charts always have them covered when it comes to discovering something fresh and new. If it's buzzy, they just want to jump in on the fun.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): The Deep Diver

Mysterious and cool Scorpios prefer to be anything but ordinary, which is why they can sometimes have a more snobbish attitude toward music. Their tastes are unique, and they're often listening to bands most people have never heard of, or diving deep into well-known artists' discographies in order to find the secret gems that most fans don't even know about. Chances are that their favorite tracks are either underground B-sides or songs performed once or twice during live shows.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): The Global Consumer

Sagittarius has a reputation for being a world traveler, and that extends to their tastes in music. They're not satisfied with only listening to music in languages they can understand, and English-speaking Sagittarians are often big fans of K-pop, Latin music and whatever else they can get their hands on—sometimes even learning a bit of the language to further their enjoyment. They love the way that music can transport their minds to other places and times, and how easy it is to imagine far-off destinations with the click of a button.

 

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): The Old School Fan

Leave it to traditional, classic Capricons to be a bit old school in their music listening. They tend to believe that the old ways are the best, and that's especially true when it comes music. Most Capricorns will prefer music performed with real instruments over synthesizers, mixing tables and computers, with a preference for the oldies but goodies, and they'd rather rely on the old music they already know and love than introduce anything new and unpredictable into the mix.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): The Eclectic Listener

Aquarius is a sign marked by independence and creativity, and you can bet on their playlists being quite eclectic and unpredictable. They're free spirits who simply can't be pinned down, so why would you expect their musical tastes to be? Expect their "liked" lists to include every genre imaginable and for some of their favorites to be tracks that many other fans ignore.

 

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): The Emotional Playlister

Dreamy and sensitive Pisces listens to music in order to feel something, and they'll often have playlists to suit each and every mood. Whether they need a good cry, want to jump for joy or are angry at the world, they have the perfect songs to guide them through that emotional journey and wind up stronger and more powerful on the other side.
