Now that I’ve had time to properly analyze, process, and listen to every song on the album — yes, all 31 songs (more than once) — I'm able to assess the 12 tunes that correspond with each zodiac sign’s true essence. Are you “The Bolter” or “The Prophecy?” Your astrological DNA will reveal the tea, just scroll down below to find which Tortured Poets Department song matches your Zodiac sign.
Aries: “The Bolter”
As an impulsive fire sign, Aries tend to end relationships just as fast as they start them if they feel trapped. “The Bolter” affirms Aries’ need to be free and independent — even “selfish” at times. The ram will absolutely resonate with these lyrics, since they live on their own accord with a few broken hearts behind them in the rearview window. As the saying goes (which defines Aries romantic actions), “All’s fair in love and war.”
Taurus: “The Tortured Poets Department”
The Venusian sign Taurus is known to be creative. They literally can be tortured artists because they put a lot of pressure on themselves to be the best at what they do, and when it comes to love, the vibe is the same. The Bull will stay in a relationship, even if it isn’t working until the bitter end; they give the same amount of energy to their romantic lives as they do their artistry.
Gemini: “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus”
A chameleon by nature, Geminis are constantly changing. Like the premise of the song “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus,” the mutable air sign is always on the lookout for new ways of thinking, being, and loving to satisfy them and their twin. Furthermore, the Mercurial sign truly values people who stand and stay by their side through thick and thin, by unconditionally supporting their trickster and dualistic ways, similarly to the song’s eloquent meaning.
Cancer: “Down Bad”
Once you get beneath the tough exterior of a Cancer, they’ll open their heart to you forever; however, when that love is taken away, it’s hard for the crab to overcome the heartbreak. Their emotions push them to retreat into a cocoon to heal. Like the song “Down Bad,” Cancer wants what they want and won’t settle for anything less. They never forget those they care about. In fact, Cancers immortalize them until they reunite.
Leo: “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”
Lights, camera, b*tch smile — Fame is a game that Leos play best. All the speculation about Swift's love life and being in the spotlight is the basis for “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” If anyone can relate to the ups and downs of being a part of the glitterati, it’s Leo, since they have a magnetic charm that fascinates people. And, no matter how hurt they are inside, the show must go on.
Virgo: “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)”
The zodiac sign Virgo is patient and always gives people the benefit of the doubt, even when they don’t deserve it. Virgos want to be of service by guiding others grow and evolve, but sometimes, the person they’re extending themselves to are unworthy of their time. That is why the earth sign (who’s pure in heart) will identify with this song because they are always wanting and trying to do the same in their relationships.
Libra: “The Prophecy”
Libras relate to the world through partnerships. At times they can feel lost without a relationship and are constantly yearning to connect with others on an intimate level. In this hauntingly, beautiful song, Swift discusses her fears about being alone while everyone else is pairing up, which is a sentiment that Libra understands all too well. Beyond the lovely lyrics lies fantastic music that will heighten the air sign’s emotions and appreciation for this song.
Scorpio: “The Black Dog”
When it comes to matters of the heart, Scorpios are known to be deep, consuming, and possessive (a romance with them is thrilling). After a breakup, they’ll keep the D-R-A-M-A going because they are obsessively ruminating over the demise of the relationship. “The Black Dog '' is about an intense love affair gone wrong and the aftermath of it. All the more reason why it aligns with the way Scorpio deals with their post-relationship blues.
Sagittarius: “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?”
Sagittariuses like to have the last word in matters. “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” gives Swift a chance to put her foot down and fire back at all the critics who’ve given her a hard time throughout the years. She knows that her popularity isn’t going anywhere and owns it. TBH, this is Swift’s fight song and way of popping off in the best way she can, in ways the archer would approve of.
Capricorn: “Florida!!”
As Capricorns are one of the more emotionally private signs of the zodiac, the sea-goat needs a place to feel safe as they get over the trials and tribulations of their life. “Florida!!” is the perfect inspiration to help the earth sign heal the past and overcome heartbreak. Before they know it, Capricorn will be embracing the warmth of the sunshine state and feel as though they’re in alignment with their fate in Destin.
Aquarius: “I Look in People’s Windows”
Aquarius is the water-bearer who flies in the sky to help others; their birds-eye view allows them to look at the world through a distant lens. This makes them the voyeurs of astrology because they are always looking from faraway places. Aquarians will connect with this song because it’s about looking in on other people’s lives from afar and imagining their lives through voyeurism to spy on the possibility of the presence of an ex.
Pisces: “I Hate It Here”
Every Pisces has a “secret garden” within their minds that they escape to. Fantasy and dreaming are vital parts of the human experience for Pisces. Imagination runs wild for the creative water sign, which means they’ll relate on a deep level to the lyrics of “I Hate It Here.” This song will make Pisces feel seen and know that we all have places we run to in an effort to evade the mundane and reality.
