If you're anything like me, ten years ago you didn't know much about astrology, and now, you can *literally* match up the traits of the zodiac signs to pretty much any topic. Like, you can plug the signs into almost anything. The best form of self-care? Yep, there’s a zodiac interpretation of that. Gifts for special occasions? Of course. Bravo memes? Surprisingly, yes.
And this also extends to playlists as well. (Spotify or Apple? IDK, fight about it in the comments.) Today, we're looking at the air-sign-that-many-mistake-for-water also known as Aquarius.
The air sign is known to be—at best—original, independent, thoughtful humanitarians and—at worst—stubborn, temperamental, and distant. Aka, either they're your best friends or your worst enemies, so play your cards right when dealing with them.
Because they're ruled by Uranus (the planet of innovation, invention, space travel, etc.), they're really into being saviors, using their science-y brains to save the world from oncoming doom (re: anyone who works at NASA). I'm being dramatic here, but ya get the point.
So, any good Aquarian playlist will include songs about being a confident, independent person who fights to change the world, mixed with tunes about how everyone is dumb and needs to just please go away. Plus, you can't forget the songs from Aquarian singers like Harry Styles, The Weeknd, and Megan Thee Stallion.
Hit play and get ready to get pumped up...then kinda bummed. It's the Aquarius way!
“Aquarius,” by Tinashe
Starting with an obvious one, Tinashe is an Aquarius who released an album called Aquarius. It’s only right that the title track is included here.
"She Got Her Own," by Ne-Yo ft. Jamie Foxx and Fabolous
The R&B singer may be a Libra, but his vocals are giving Aquarius. I mean, the singer is crooning about a woman who's attractive because she's independent and self-sufficient. Aquarians, Ne-Yo wants to holla at ya.
“Independent Women, Pt. 1,” by Destiny’s Child
Aquarians are all about being independent, and this hit from Destiny’s Child will forever be an anthem to just that.
“Run the World (Girls),” by Beyoncé
Beyoncé knows her way around a song about being strong, obviously.
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough," by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terell
Aquarians mean business when it comes to relationships, loyal to a fault. Once they're attached, sorry but there's nothing that'll get rid of them...not even a mountain.
“Born This Way,” by Lady Gaga
Aquarians are described as original, eccentric, and true to themselves. Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” supports all of that.
”You Need to Calm Down,” by Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s songs can often be pretty emotionally heavy and open, which is not always how Aquarians like to be. But “You Need to Calm Down” should appeal to Aquarians’ need for peace.
"Alright," by Kendrick Lamar
Ah, a classic protest song—one of the greatest, IMHO—perfect for the rebels of the zodiac. Wouldn't be surprise if this single was on repeat—you can tell this gets them really fired up.
“Fantasy,” by Mariah Carey
It’s a song that involves daydreaming, off an album called Daydream. A daydream-y Aquarius can relate.
"Marvin's Room," by Drake
It's Drake, R&B's loverboy. Do I need to say more?
“Sign of the Times,” by Harry Styles
Harry Styles is an Aquarius himself, and his song “Sign of the Times” is very thoughtful about comparing the past to the future. Know who likes deep thoughts and introspection? Aquarians.
“Big Yellow Taxi,” by Joni Mitchell
Aquarians are also known for being humanitarians and caring about the environment, so here’s a song about humans screwing up nature.
“Here,” by Alessia Cara
Why be at a party with dumb people when you could just be by yourself with your far superior intellect at home? Alessia Cara might be a Cancer, but she gets it.
“Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” by Kanye West
Basically, Aquarians always think they’re right. (I can say that. I am one.)
"Conceited" by Flo Mili
The Alabama rapper sings, "Feeling myself, I'm conceited" for, like, half of the song.
“Blinding Lights,” by The Weeknd
The Weeknd is an Aquarius and that’s honestly the main reason this song makes the cut, but it is moody, like Aquarians can be at times.
“Whenever, Wherever,” by Shakira
Shakira really channels her Aquarian-ness in “Whenever, Wherever,” which is about love…but, like, an easygoing love that can exist anytime, anyplace.
"American Oxygen" by Rihanna
A lesser known single of RiRi's but just as damn inspiring. A protest song that'll speak to heart of any Aquarian working towards change.
“Just a Girl,” by No Doubt
A feminist anthem for an Aquarius who’s ready to fight the patriarchy.
“You May Be Right,” by Billy Joel
Only because “you may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for” is a very Aquarian phrase.
“Savage,” by Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion is another Aquarius artist, and while her song “Savage” has her listing out a few adjectives that could apply to different zodiac signs (“classy, bougie, ratchet”), “moody” stands out for Aquarius.
“Every Day Is a Winding Road,” by Sheryl Crow
Sheryl Crow—an Aquarius—sings, “I’ve been wondering if all the things I’ve seen
were ever real, were ever really happening,” which is just some introspective Aquarian non-sense.
"The Climb," by Miley Cyrus
This isn't an Aquarius playlist without including the OG Aquarian song, "The Climb." A song about not letting go speaks deeply to the self-sufficient and often stubborn Aquarians.
“Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In,” from Hair
Could we end with anything else?
