Summer is right around the corner! And we have compiled a list of songs that will get each sign into a sunny mindset for the season to come!
Aries – Fight Song

Taurus – Peaches
Written and performed by The Presidents Of The United States
On the first listen, this song sounds like a simple little ditty, but then it transforms into a fun alternative rock song with good-natured yet flirtatious double meanings. This makes it an ideal summer anthem for earthy Taurus. Though Tauruses are well known for their dedication and tenacity, this song can speak to their tendency towards harmless hedonism.
Gemini – School’s Out
Written by Micheal Bruce, Glen Buxton, Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith. Performed by Alice Cooper.
Oh, Gemini! Sweet, studious little Gemini. You have been studying and/or working hard all year. It is time to let loose. And what better way to let loose than to scream this incredibly cathartic song at the top of your lungs.
Cancer – Strawberry Wine
Written by Matraca Berg and Gary Harrison. Performed by Deana Carter
Cancer, you are filled to the brim with compassion and sentimentality. And this song about a brief summer romance embodies both of those qualities. Its rustic melody and poetic imagery will give you tender feelings all summer long.

Leo, you just took a DNA test and it turns out you are 100% that… fabulous. Yes, your summer anthem is “Truth Hurts” by Lizzo, a performer who exudes flamboyant Leo energy (even though she’s a Taurus.) This song will empower your strength and charm. This is the ultimate self-love song.
Virgo – Summertime Blues
Written by Eddie Cochran and Jerry Capehart. Performed by Eddie Cochran, The Beach Boys, Johnny Chester, Hep Stars, Blue Cheer, T. Rex, Mick Farren, Alan Jackson, Johnny Hallyday, and Rush…This song has been covered A LOT!
Virgo, being as you are the true workaholic of the zodiac, this song must have been written just for you. It can be hard for you to relax in the summer when there is still so much work to be done. Thankfully this song sympathizes with your plight. Feel free to “raise a fuss” when you listen to its lyrics.
Libra – Summer Nights
Written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. Performed by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta
Libra, you are constantly seeking a balance between your ascetic and amorous tendencies. This song finds that balance by juxtaposing Sandy’s wholesomeness with Danny’s… shall we say lasciviousness. This song is a great way for you to get ready for those summer days and oh, oh those summer nights!
Scorpio – Montero (Call Me By Your Name)
Written and performed by Lil Nas X. Co-written by Denzel Baptiste, David Biral, Omer Fedi, and Rosario Lenzo
Call me by your name! Scorpio, you have garnered a reputation for yourself as being the most sensual sign in the zodiac, and this song speaks to that passion inside of you. The lyrics are not only visceral, they are catchy as… ”heck.” You will find yourself dancing to it all summer long.
Sagittarius – Old Town Road

This is the ideal summer anthem for the independent and revolutionary Aquarius. This song will not only get you excited for the season, but also re-energize your out-of-this-world attitude. These lyrics will remind your haters that though they may want you down on earth, you are happy up in space.
Pisces – Dreams

Pisces, this song will speak to your well-developed sense of nostalgia. It feels like this song was featured in almost every summer blockbuster in the ’90s and early 2000s. This melody will take you back to a simpler time. While the lyrics “oh my life is changing every day” will give you hope for the future.
