Love, Stars & Playlists: The Perfect August Love Song for Every Zodiac Sign

Because astrology and Spotify should always go hand in hand.

August is here—cue the summer flings, surprise texts from exes, and the overwhelming urge to define-the-relationship while sipping iced lattes in the heat.

Whether you’re falling head over heels, ghosting someone accidentally-on-purpose, or just living your main character life, the stars have so much to say about your love life this month. But wait—we’re not just doing horoscopes.

We’re giving each zodiac sign their perfect August love song—because sometimes a three-minute bop can describe your romantic vibe better than your therapist can.

Let’s get into it. Here’s your cosmic love forecast and your song of the month, babe.
