There’s nothing better than leaving your home on a hot summer day in your go-to breezy outfit, with the perfect song playing in your headphones. For me, there’s always one song of the summer that I end up playing on repeat, wherever my sunny days lead me. This year, new albums have been dropping almost every week, and there have been an unprecedented number of contenders for best song of the summer. But what’s the song that will help you have your best summer yet? Much like anything in life, I firmly believe our zodiac signs can help us find the perfect summer anthem. While our seasonal horoscopes tell us it’s going to be a drama-free summer due to the lack of eclipses, every sign will have a different way of approaching this. Some signs might want to gravitate toward chill vibes in their music, while others might be ready to tackle new sounds. Read on to find out which song will best fit your zodiac sign’s summer experience.
Aries
For Aries signs, this summer is a time for bold choices, adventure, and targeted recharge time. Because of this, Aries people will have absolutely no time for anyone who’s going to upset their positive summer vibes. This song by Sabrina Carpenter, her first #1 hit, is just the right song for Aries to blast on repeat as they confidently move on from any drama that tries to enter their life. It’s also a perfect mix of ’80s pop nostalgia and honest, catchy lyrics that will have Aries signs ready to conquer the summer and let everyone know it.
Taurus
Summer is all about relaxation, comfort, and serenity for Taurus signs, and this song by Billie Eilish is perfect to throw on at home or during a walk around the neighborhood. Much like reliable Tauruses, the song has a steady beat and chill lyrics throughout but also has the uplifting and beautiful vocal breaks that Billie is known for. Ever-ambitious Taurus signs will love this contrast in the five-minute-long song as they use their relaxation time to make big plans for the rest of the summer.
Gemini
Summer includes Gemini season, so it’s certainly a time for curious and independent Gemini signs to thrive. This song by Charli XCX will get Geminis ready to take on any summer event or adventure as the spirited and spontaneous people they are. The song is filled with lyrics that just scream Gemini, leaning into what it means to be confident and not caring what anyone thinks. It’s the perfect anthem to embrace being a multi-faceted Gemini.
Cancer
Cancer signs are taking on summer with love, and what better way to celebrate this than with a Dua Lipa song that’s about matters of the heart? Often Cancer signs are putting the needs of those that are close to them before their own, especially in the summertime when romance is heating up. This song is all about evaluating a specific relationship and contemplating a breakup. For Cancer signs, summer is a great time to reassess and renew relationships. This is a song emotional Cancer signs can dance to and relate to at the same time.
Leo
Summer is a season that outgoing and fun Leos thrive in, so they’ll need a song that can be played an infinite amount of times and never get old. While practically any Chappell Roan song fits this description, the summer anthem Leo signs will not be able to stop listening to is Good Luck, Babe! Not only are the lyrics and vocals in the song inspiring and bold, just like the singer, but they also call for being true to your feelings. This is a song that will motivate creative Leos through the summer and beyond.
Virgo
Virgo signs are not letting the summer slow them down, and neither is this song by Sabrina Carpenter, which will likely be playing everywhere through the summer and into the fall. Virgos are practical and methodical when it comes to work, but in the summertime, that commitment can also apply to playtime. This song is the ultimate anthem for the confident, romantic, and ambitious traits that allow Virgos to thrive on the sunny days of the season at work, during a night out, or wherever their days take them.
Libra
Libra signs are all about harmony in the summer, and this song has plenty of it, literally and metaphorically. The song brings together three absolute icons of pop music, and their vocal harmonies are only matched by the harmony of their creative collaboration. The song is a modern take on a ’90s classic, which will also give analytical and intellectual Libras plenty to think about as they compare it to the original version. It’s the fun song of the summer that will inspire charming Libras to continue being social butterflies everywhere they go.
Scorpio
Scorpios love to tap into their own beautiful intensity, and the summer season is no exception. This song by Maya Hawke is all about the choices we make in life and will speak to a Scorpio sign’s need to simultaneously be understood and left alone. Scorpios should take note of this lyric in particular: “I’ve been someone to talk about / I wanna be someone to talk to.” The lyric might as well be the anthem of the elusive and mysterious summer Scorpio who wants to socialize but will only open up to people they trust.
Sagittarius
While it might be said that Sagittarius signs love to roam the world year-round, summertime is especially vital for the adventurous Sagittarius spirit. While Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album dropped in March of this year, this song totally has summer vibes. It’s perfect for a Sagittarius who wants to head out on a road trip with their best friend or partner and get away from their life for a while. The song is all about throwing caution to the wind and having the most memorable Sagittarius summer yet.
Capricorn
Even though summer can be a time for relaxation, the hardworking Capricorn isn’t going to let that slow them down. This song by Gracie Abrams will energize focused and dedicated Capricorns with its quick and heart-thumping lyrics—perfect for a morning workout before they start their summer day. The song is about being honest when it’s time to move on, and it’s just what a determined Capricorn needs to hear. The lyrics will inspire a summer for Capricorns in which nothing and no one wastes their time or gets in the way of their goals.
Aquarius
An Aquarius in the summertime is about as carefree as anyone can get, and these signs will be even more determined to live their summer life on their own terms. For that reason, what could be a better summer anthem than this song from the tortured poet herself, Taylor Swift? The song is a narrative story about forbidden love and not needing anyone’s approval to live the life we want to live. Music to an Aquarius’ ears. It will especially inspire the innovative and progressive Aquarius sign as they make big moves in their life during the summer.
Pisces
Summer is a time for dreaming and longing for emotional Pisces signs, especially during the endless days that stretch into warm nights. But even though Pisces are almost constantly dreaming, they’re also reflecting on their many feelings. Because of this, Pisces will need a summer anthem that flows through thoughts and emotions, like this song that closes out Camila Cabello’s latest album. The lyrics are relaxing and thought-provoking at the same time, something that is essential for Pisces to recharge in the summer and enter the next season as their best self.
