Whether you love or hate the question, the cultural obsession has made its mark. Today, astrology is no longer simply synonymous with bold predictions about love, fame, and fortune.

Instead, it’s attracting more and more people (especially millennials) who use horoscope readings as a way to seek clarity in their lives; a lens through which they experience, process, and understand the changes and events that come their way.

Fundamentally, the principle of astrology centres on the twelve signs of the Zodiac, which over the centuries have each developed their own characteristics and associations – that include myths, colours, love compatibility and even with music.

Spotify couldn’t resist finding out more about the relationship between star signs and musical personality. Read on below to see what they’ve discovered:
