It’s about time these two Scribe besties collaborated on a column. Introducing Queue it up with the Stars, your March music and astrology mashup.
As the seasons change and temperatures rise, March is the perfect month to blast some music and get into spring cleaning. Since March 2, Venus has been in retrograde and will be until April 13. This brings a fresh energy to reassess self-love and find love for others.
Find out what your sign should focus on this month and what songs you need for the perfect start to your spring playlist. While Livi opens your eyes to what March has for each sign, Kaylie supplies some tracks to match each sign’s vibe.
Aries
Mercury in retrograde will be in Aries this month. Don’t let that get your birthday plans down, though. With the tension in communication from Mercury, just give yourself some time to think of how you respond to others before your impulsivity takes over.
It’s time to start thinking over the grudges you’ve been holding. Don’t let these energies get you down. Your conflicts might have just been a mistake of miscommunication.
You need a playlist to help mitigate impulsivity, open your mind to forgiving misunderstandings and welcome in that birthday energy. These encouraging, peaceful songs will remind you that you are in control.
- “While We’re Young” – Jhené Aiko
- “just like magic” – Ariana Grande
- “Nunya” – Kehlani and Dom Kennedy
Taurus
This month, Uranus is visiting Taurus to bring change, whether you asked for it or not. This might be anxiety-inducing, since Taurus enjoys their stability. March will be about letting go of the fears that are holding you back from simply enjoying life.
Clean up your schedule and plan some “me time.” You might be able to find a new sense of calm by taking a walk outside, making your favorite meal or planning a date with a friend.
One of the best ways to feel stability from music is by diving into some nostalgic songs. Take yourself back to simpler times and remind yourself that everything is going to be all right.
- “Pocketful of Sunshine” – Natasha Bedingfield
- “Nothin’ on You” – B.o.B and Bruno Mars
- “Ridin’ Solo” – Jason Derulo
Gemini
With Jupiter in your sign this month, Gemini, it’s time to start cleaning up your living space and making room for the new. Jupiter is all about expansion, but have you made room to let it happen?
This year, you might’ve tried to start cleaning but given up and said you’d do it later. It’s time to lock in now. While you’re cleaning, think about what objects you need and what you’re just carrying around for sentimental value.
Once you see how much room there is for change, you’ll be excited about what’s to come. Just don’t forget to accept the new opportunities.
Spring cleaning is the best time to try on some new music. Blast this playlist to hear a variety of genres that will match your transformative energy.
- “FAMJAM4000” – Jordan Ward
- “Picture in My Mind” – PinkPanthress and Sam Gellaitry
- “Stella Brown” – Jelani Aryeh
Cancer
With Mars in the sign of Cancer, Cancerians might be feeling more agitated than usual (I, Livi, am a cancer — I’m always agitated, and I assume the rest of you are, too). Go easy on yourself and use the Mars energy to stay motivated.
With the moon, Cancer’s ruler, visiting Taurus, you might feel the need to go on a spending spree. If you’re going to do that, at least actually go through your closet for spring cleaning. Get rid of the physical junk you don’t need anymore, and it will clear up mental space you didn’t realize was being held up.
A closet deep clean followed by a shopping spree warrants some energetic, empowering pop vocals. You need a diva soundtrack to get through this month.
- “Diva” – Beyoncé (obviously)
- “Glamorous” – Fergie and Ludacris
- “S&M” – Rihanna
Leo
Leos, March may feel like you are in a boring, never-ending routine. Leo’s ruling planet, the Sun, is in Pieces until March 20, when it enters Aries. Combine these energies to inspire new ideas and bring back the childlike fun you might’ve been missing lately.
Leos need to look at how ambitious they are when dealing with life aspirations. Life sometimes gets so busy that you forget why you’re working toward a goal. If you’ve lost all passion for something, realign your ambitions to appreciate what you enjoy.
Your go-getter attitude can be invigorated by some 2010s throwbacks sure to remind you of the younger you. These three songs will break up the routine and inspire some smiles.
- “Super Bass” – Nicki Minaj
- “International Love” – Pitbull and Chris Brown
- “Memories” – David Guetta and Kid Cudi
Virgo
Virgo is in the 10th house this month, which is an organization of fields and experiences that affect the 12 signs. The 10th house shows how others see us. When meeting people this month, think about the type of person you are, not just the mask you present to the outside world.
While Virgos tend to be hypercritical of everything, take other’s perceptions of you with a grain of salt. How can you use their opinions to better yourself? Be creative, and let this question bring strength to challenges that arise in your life.
My — Kaylie’s — fellow Virgos, one thing I know about us is that overconfident, energetic music will reassure us about anything. I am ready to strut into this spring with this soundtrack in the background.
- “Cool for the Summer” – Demi Lovato
- “yes, and?” – Ariana Grande
- “Ballad of a Badman” – Tory Lanez
Libra
Libras are easygoing people and have been enjoying the consistency of life lately. Venus, the ruling planet of Libra, is in Aries until March 28. Use the dynamic energy of Aries to clean out things you no longer need in life. Ask your friends what they think you’ve been holding on to for too long.
Libra might be ignorant of their faults. Spring cleaning is calling for a reality check. Take the time to think and listen. You might find you’ve been oblivious this whole time to something that’s been weighing you down.
Spring cleaning isn’t just a time for decluttering and sprucing up your space; it’s also perfect for journeying into yourself. Here are some deep-thinking vibes for some introspection.
- “Mirror” – Kendrick Lamar
- “West Savannah” – Isaiah Rashad and SZA
- “Walkin” – Denzel Curry
Scorpio
With Uranus opposing your sign, perhaps it’s time to make a life change. Scorpio is a water sign, so you may get attached to the way things are and become stubborn against life’s next chapter.
Scorpio’s ruling planet, Pluto, will be in Aquarius for a while. This is a big sign to start working on what you want out of life. Something to work on this spring is opening yourself up to those you love. You’ll be surprised how sharing with others what you’ve been feeling lately will help you grow.
It helps to explore the things keeping you stagnant when you’re trying to grow. After all, self-love allows you to love others. A playlist of semi-emo, chill beats can send you on some soul-searching spring self-discovery.
- “Inwood Hill Park” – 6LACK
- “Let Me Go” – Daniel Caesar
- “Self Care” – Mac Miller
Sagittarius
Lately, it might seem Sagittarians are all out of energy for literally anything. Get what you can done, then use your time off to allow yourself to relax. Perhaps you’re frustrated with resting, so ask what you are doing to take care of you.
Sagittarians are known to sign themselves up for too many things while keeping a smile on their face. Assess where your shortcomings are and if they are worth your energy. This spring, get rid of anything you are giving energy toward that isn’t fueling you in return.
As you settle into your routine and find time for yourself, use music as your inspiration. Let these songs encourage you to find serenity and let go of nagging commitments.
- “Successful” – Drake, Trey Songz and Lil Wayne
- “I Wonder” – Kanye West
- “Payday” – Doja Cat and Young Thug
Capricorn
Capricorn’s ruling planet, Saturn, is in Pisces, and Capricorn has no planets visiting the sign this month. Capricorns may feel a bit stuck in their life. Instead of feeling restricted, think about what you can appreciate about the stability of the moment.
Don’t let this slowness get you down or worry about your individual needs. Before you get down in the dumps, add some fun and have friends over when you get the chance. It’s time to clean out all the negative self-doubts.
If you’re feeling stagnant, a few lesser-known songs could bring some energy and spice to your life. These songs should help bring you peace while giving you new sounds to vibe with.
- “Joshua Tree” – Cautious Clay
- “Chosen One” – Anderson .Paak and Sonyae
- “Hand Me Downs” – Mac Miller
Aquarius
In this time of change, Pluto in Aquarius is encouraging subjects to face their fears. As Aquarius’s ruling planet, Uranus, is in Taurus, this helps Aquarians maintain their independent peace. If you have been finding yourself in tough situations, remember to stay civil.
These planets and signs this month are ramping up the energy for self-love. Think about what you have been putting too much energy into. If you’re not receiving the result you want, consider how you would want to see change.
The end of the month will bring an extra charge of energy for Aquarians to use to reveal their determination for a change.
To power you up for tough situations, you need a few hype songs to get you through. This three-song mix is somewhere between chill rap and hype music, perfect for any activity.
- “Areyoudown? Pt. 2” – Saba and tobi lou
- “pg baby” – redveil
- “Tears” – Mudrigo
Pisces
Happy birthday to all the Pisces!
Pisces feel like they are always trying to adapt to their next life event. With Neptune in Pisces’ sign, this increases Pisces’s idealism, but be careful not to get carried away by indecision.
Use the beginning of the month to focus on self-love and relaxation. With the energy of Aquarius in your sign and Uranus in Taurus, stay grounded before making the jump for the next change.
Once the end of the month comes around, it will seem like life is picking up speed again.
The sun is in Pisces until March 20, when it transitions to Aries. This time will increase energy levels and make it easier to conquer challenges. Pisces will find it easier to make decisions and receive positive reactions.
For your birthday month and in celebration of daylight saving time, this playlist is all about bringing in the cheery springtime energy. Use these tunes to inspire your confidence and joy this month.
- “Lovely Day” – Bill Withers
- “Latch” – Sam Smith
- “Spirited Away” – 6LACK
