Lately I‰’ve been coming to terms with my guilty pleasures and proudly admitting my love for them (ie Twilight, Justin Bieber), and right now I‰’ll just come out and say that I‰’m pretty obsessed with astrology. It‰’s really fun to read into people‰’s personalities and try to predict the future and explain it with the cosmos. It‰’s completely fine if you don‰’t want to chart your life based upon astrology, but if you don‰’t at least try to have fun with it then I‰’m probably going to want to fight you.

Lately a trend on social media sites has been assigning the signs to certain things (originally posted on Tumblr, taken from a Buzzfeed article): the signs as pizza, the signs at a concert, the signs as dad jokes. Since everything in my life has to be tied to music, I was really excited to try and make a playlist based on the 12 astrological signs. Here‰’s what I came up with based upon researching unique characteristics of the signs and matching them with certain sounds.
