Aries (March 21 – April 19): 'Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?'
While the majority of THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT's first album details the heartache, betrayal and loss that can accompany tumultuous relationships, "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" feels a little different—the first to break from the pack, much like the first fiery zodiac song, Aries. It's daring and confident as Taylor fights back against those who try to tear her down, expressing her power and defiance against her naysayers.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): 'But Daddy I Love Him'
Taurus has a reputation for being the most stubborn sign of the zodiac, and there truly couldn't be a better title to match that sentiment than "But Daddy I Love Him." It's about rebelling against the criticisms you receive and fighting for love, which can sometimes mean doubling down on bad decisions solely because you hate being told what to do.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart'
If any sign can connect with the "fake it 'til you make it" mentality, it's Gemini, which is why they'll relate so strongly to "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart. The sign is known for their social natures and continuing on, despite any inner turmoil they may be feeling. The duality of the sign also matches well with the concept of putting on a facade to obscure your pain in troubled times.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22 ): 'Fortnight'
Cancer's best-known traits—loyalty, sensitivity and feeling things deeply—make it tough to pick just one song for them in a sprawling double-album that mostly fits the bill, but "Fortnight" might just be the most appropriate for them. As the first song on the first album, it sets the scene for the moody, yearning tales of heartbreak ahead. After all of that time protecting herself under a tough shell, Taylor is finally letting us in.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): 'Clara Bow'
Leo is the sign known best for its love of the spotlight, which is why we matched it with "Clara Bow," a unique track about the perils of the double-edged sword that is fame. Yes, Leo loves being the center of attention, but all of the glitz and glamour of the celebrity life can also be dangerous. Chances are that if you're a Leo, you've already discovered this the hard way.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): 'I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)'
Virgos tend to love a good fixer-upper, whether that means a home or a potential mate, and it rarely ends well. Chances are that they immediately resonated with the song title "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)." Virgos are detail-oriented perfectionists who believe they can do it all, but often, despite believing they've found a diamond in the rough, there's nothing they can do to change human nature.
Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived'
As the sign most concerned with keeping things balanced and fair, we think Libra's song of choice is "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived." It's the tale of an unfair situation and the heartbreak and frustration that follow a relationship with someone who isn't trustworthy enough to measure up.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): 'imgonnagetyouback'
Scorpio might be the most misunderstood sign of the zodiac, with a knack for passion and intensity and a reputation for revenge. That's why we associate them with "imgonnagetyouback"—a track about being unsure whether you want to be reunited with a former lover, or you want to exact revenge on them. For Scorpio, it could honestly fall either way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): 'The Bolter'
Taylor Swift herself is a Sagittarius, so how does one pick just one track to sum up the sign? We ultimately decided on "The Bolter," a track about feeling restless and trapped within a relationship, and the freedom that can come with leaving to find yourself. For this adventurous yet impatient sign, we can't think of anything more apt.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): 'loml'
The lyrics of "loml" yearn for wanting all of the classic, traditional aspects of love, from waltzes to marriage, but being let down by love. That's why it couldn't be a better fit for the tradition-loving sign of Capricorn. The sign is old-school, knowing what they want, and they're also dedicated workers who won't settle for anything less.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): 'Fresh Out the Slammer'
Aquarians crave freedom, perhaps more than any other sign, which is why we think of them whenever we listen to the lyrics of "Fresh Out the Slammer." The song likens being in a bad relationship to being imprisoned and the sense of blissful freedom that comes with breaking free from your chains. If anyone can relate, it's Aquarius.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): 'So High School'
Pisces was another tricky pick, given that the fish are the tortured poets of the zodiac, but eventually, we just had to settle on "So High School." There's something extra daydreamy and romantic about the way Taylor reverts to her high school days on the track, and we can't think of anything more Pisces.
