Now, since the placements in a person's chart clearly seem to have an effect on their style of clothing and hairdo, I've been wondering if the same goes for our taste in music. Hence, I would like to do a little survey on this matter and ask you to put down your favourites (bands, artists, genres). Oh, and don't forget do put down your placements as well!!! I guess I'll start then...
Favourite bands/artists: Nina Simone, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, Coldplay, Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, Oasis, Ben Harper, Damien Rice, Elliott Smith, Ryan Adams Favourite genres: Jazz, Alternative Rock, Folk Rock Edit: I forgot to mention my love for Greek/Oriental music (either due to my Sagittarian influences or my family background ... I'm not sure) Sun: Sagittarius Moon: Leo Mercury: Sagittarius Venus: Libra Mars: Libra Ascendant: Pisces It's your turn now!!!

Taurus sun Scorpio moon Sagittarius ascendant Venus in GeminiWell firstly, being a Taurus I've always LOVED music... to the point of obsession (though less so these days). I seem to have eclectic tastes but mostly it's: 1980s New Wave like Duran Duran, Ultravox, Roxy Music, Gary Numan, Split Enz - it must be slightly quirky, so I think this is due to my Sun opposite Uranus; 1970's rock/glam like T Rex and David Bowie; Marc Bolan's more "folk"/pagan phase is my favourite though (this could be related to my Sag ascendant but I'm not sure - could be the fact that it's more earthy and I am an earth sign); 1970's disco pop like Blondie, ABBA, Boney M, the Bee Gees; rock music like Guns N Roses (although I must admit I am wildly attracted to long-haired, pretty rock stars like Axl Rose and Nuno Bettencourt ); and I love Indian music, Spanish, bellydancing music, any exotic (this is very clearly related to my Sag ascendant). I also tend to be drawn to male singer-songwriters: Kevin Max is my absolute favourite, I love his voice because of the vibrato and he's very influenced vocally by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, not to mention the flourishes of Indian and Middle Eastern sounds amongst his Duran Duran/Roxy Music influenced music... all with a vibe of spirituality about it... so in the music of Kevin Max my Sun opp. Uranus, Scorpio moon (it's a little bit sexy), and Sag ascendant are all being satisfied. I absolutely LOVE Morrissey! Rufus Wainwright is another fave... similar voice to Kevin Max, and I love the campness of his style... I am one of those women who loves gay men! Not sure where this comes from... Ryan Adams is another one I was into for a while. Oh and I also like Queen and that type of rock music that is operatic... but I also get into the Sex Pistols, Nirvana, etc... my tastes are very eclectic and changeable... this is probably my Venus in Gemini! I get obsessed with one thing at a time though usually. I'll play the same thing over and over... Scorpio moon?

Sun/merc aqu (opp sat, squ ura) Aries Asc (conj jup and wide con to chiron, trine neptune) Lib moon (opp asc, jupiter, conj spica) Venus Sagittarius (unaspected) Mars Gemini (opp nep, trine plu, sex asc/jupiter) 12th house Pisces, Neptune in Sag I am very passionate about music. I think it caused by my 12th house being ruled by Pisces and nep in sag. Nirvana, Pixies, Helmet, Fugazi, Husker Du, early INXS, early Public Enemy, Duran Duran, Split Enz and I really like swing/big band music too (things like Benny Goodman). I also quite like Derrick May too. I also am partial to Led Zepellin, Strokes, Sex Pistols, Beach Boys I like Helmet and Duran Duran for opposite reasons. Helmet is stripped back and raw with a dry melody, no nonsense and non-reliant on image. Duran Duran I like for the aesthetic dream that they are able to create as well as the very melodic well crafted pop tunes. For some reason, I really like them in make-up, I think that is a function of my gemini mars - which of course rules sexual ambiguity (as well as angry rap - Public Enemy). Most of the other stuff I like is driven by my aries asc (as you see, they are all male) I think with the exception of Pixies or techno, which is quite Aqu.

Oh, very interesting you point that out about DD, 23! Cos it's not only their music that draws me but their whole aesthetic... how they look, the style of their videos, the packaging, the look of the stage set on the Seven & the Ragged Tiger tour, everything! Also I think the Scorpio/Sagittarian-type themes of Simon's lyrics draw me in... eg Seven & the Ragged Tiger refers to the seven chakras... Union of the Snake is about kundalini... etc...IP: Logged |

GL75 - I think most people are drawn to DD because of aesthetic! I like them because I guess of my libran moon/Tau SN in terms of appearance. I like their fashion and model looks and their then innovation, they were one step ahead back then. Love Rio the most. They just seem so hip, even the most basic Planet Earth video, they just seem so cool and hip. I know it was cultivated by them though, SLB mentions they never smiled in videos to look cool. As for their music, I like their melody, I think Andy is a great guitarist and Nick is a great keyboardist. John is very good, I'd rate him on the better end of base players. Simon is an excellent lyricist. I suppose my heavy air chart makes me appreciate good lyrics. Thats why I love Nirvana so much, their lyrics are tre bon (the best!) as well as Fugazis!IP: Logged |

ok I think I have to add something here about Scorpio Rising:all of them that I know [and this spans generations] have a very strong liking for madonna and sinead o'connor. btw I think theyre all right [not amazing] as far as artists go so i dont think its a spell of "well sure theyd like em cos you do and youre friends" type deal. thoughts?

I like jazz and classical. My favourite musicians are John Coltrane and Van Morrison. Those two are the musicians whose albums I'm collecting right now.But I'm pretty much open to all kinds of music. I have 6500 songs on my iTunes. *edit to add* Scorpio Sun, Aries Moon, Pisces Rising IP: Logged |

I like anything that's relatively new and sounds 'good' with guitars/pianos; Interpol, Yourcodenameismilo, The Guillemots, Lupine Howl, Lightning Bolt, etc. etc. I also like a myriad of other genres, because I'll appreciate anything that sounds good to my ear.Mars, Mercury Aquarius Venus Aries Sun, Moon Pisces Scorpio Rising IP: Logged |

Taurus Sun/10th Leo Moon/12th Leo ASCI went through a lot of phases. Probably my Venus/Gem/11th opp Uranus/Sag/5th? I was into rock music for a very long time. Went through the genres. Classic rock, prog rock, first-wave punk, grunge. Zeppelin, Hendrix, Who, Velvets, Pink Floyd, Ramones, Wire, Pixies, Nirvana, Radiohead. I like quieter stuff now. Folk, blues or jazz-influenced... Dylan, Elliott Smith, Jolie Holland, Leadbelly, Cat Power, Nina Simone, and Ella. And stuff that is not so guitar-driven but more synthy: Bjork, Massive Attack, Portishead. I also really dig bossa nova, hah... Joao and his wife Astrud Gilberto, Elis Regina, Nouvelle Vague. Finally, I really love Kronos Quartet for instrumentals. I think I like anything that creates a mood or has that 'transporting' effect. And while we are on this topic: Everyone, check your quintiles and biquintiles! http://www.cafeastrology.com/natal/quintile_biquintile.html I have Moon biquintile Neptune and Venus biquintile Saturn. The interps say a lot about my interest in music. They might say something about yours too. IP: Logged |

Cancer Sun Virgo Moon Cap Asc Cancer Merc Gemini Venus Aries Mars Lets see...I like traditional music, some of the Brazilian style of music when I'm in a blue mood, Cape Verdian Music is good too (sounds alot like Haitian Music; and they're both Criole so go figure), Sometimes I'll listen to Spanish Music...mainly Reggaeton, and then there's Hip-Hop and R&B , some rock music (especially Nirvana...they kicked a$$).
Oh, and I listened to Samba once and I got hooked, so that too.

I seem to have gone through lots of phases but recently have finally put it all together into what I actually really like...I went through the 80s hard rock phase, classic rock, punk rock, ska, hardcore and metal...my way of sampling lots of types I guess! Virgo Sun Taurus Moon Taurus Asc Libra Merc Virgo Venus Scorpio Mars Despite all my sampling I am fussy about what I listen to. Currently I listen to indie rock, brit/scottish pop rock, some J-rock, a little bit of ska, a little bit of metal, and some creepy techno...Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Decemberists, Aphex Twin, Matisyahu, Placebo, Muse, Radiohead, Beck, Minus The Bear, The Pillows, Massive Attack, Portishead, Deftones are all faves of mine.

Depends entirely on my mood.Sibelius is good though Franz Ferdinand, The killers, Snow Patrol, The Eagles, Eurythmics, Sarah Mclachlan, Beatles, Rolling stones. I've never bought an album I've liked everything on, and there are loads of other artists I like maybe one or two songs of. I do seem to have like the lyrics though, having a mercury/uranus con junction maybe. Sun/moon/pluto Libra mercury/venus/uranus Scorpio Mars Leo Jupiter/saturn Virgo neptune Sag

Sun in Libra Moon in Leo Venus in Libra Mars in Sagittarius Jupiter in Capricorn Saturn Semisquare Neptune Uranus in Sagittarius Neptune in Sagittarius Pluto in Scorpio Well I prefer some of the older rock bands to the recent ones. I am a BIG fan of U2. There isn't one song that Band sung that is anyway flawed Lol! Yes, I do believe that U2 is the greatest rock band in history .
Apart from that, I love Jazz, and most definately Oriental and Middle Eastern Music. Then there is always the soothing Classical pieces like "Moonlight Sonata." IP: Logged |

Music. On a desert island, I would take with me music of David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Nina Simone, Bruce Springsteen, Eartha Kitt, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder. Baroque. Bossa Nova. Oh, and I have a never ending fascination for what I call the 3 B of French music: Brassens, Brel, and Barbara. Sun Virgo Moon Libra Venus Virgo ASC Pisces Mercury Libra Jupiter Leo IP: Logged |

I need thousands of songs. I use to have 10500 on my computer and it did not feel like enough. than I lost over half of my library because of a HD crash and it was DEVASTING. I am rebuilding the library with new HDs and am at 8000 songs and hope to reach and pass 10500 because I just gobble up music. I could not choose 10 or 100 or 500 albums because I would miss the 100s I did not pick, so here are the genres:-late 60s/early 70s folk rock -late 60s/early 70s blues rock -late 60s to mid 70s prog rock -late 60s/early 70s Psychedelic Rock -Indie Rock, especially early 90s -Post rock -Jazz (mid 60s to mid 70s especially) -and especially Jazz Fusion -and Free Jazz -krautrock (german underground, especially late 60s into mid 70s) -early and mid 70s Electronic (think early tangerine dream) -Jam Bands -I like ethnic music. especially rock orientied and early 70s ethnic. Its interesting to have a jazz rock band from ghana from 1969. -Alt. rock but particular about that (nothing mainstream really besides flaming lips maybe) -late 60s/mid 70s art rock -late 60s/early 70s hard rock -some punk, mostly proto punk of the early and mid 70s and punk of the late 70s like the clash and some 80s like bad religion -classic pop rock (those 70s bands like Badfinger, The scruffs, rasberries, Big star) -straight up classic rock of course -raga rock like Ravi shankar or Don Robertson or Brij Bhushan Kabra -Rock in Opposition and Avant Garde like Can though they are also krautrock. -space rock like Gong and a lot of post rock is similar, like godspeed with lots of long spacey intervals. -ambient -early 70s symphonic rock like Yes (or in a broader sense, they are prog rock) -Canterbury..just check it out, its fun scorp sun cap asc aries moon sag venus sag mercury cap mars cap jupiter scorp saturn

Interesting, Juno, what is your ascendant? I also have: Sun/moon/ Libra venus Scorpio Jupiter/ VirgoAnd, it also depends on my mood. I have such a huge range of what I like, it's almost schizo. LOL Almost anything 80s because I grew up with it and it makes me happy to hear it again. Too much for me to mention; it's easier to say what I DON'T like: twangy country and then there is that music I don't know how to classify but it makes me want to puke: such as Michael Bolton, The wind beneath my wings lady (oh yeah, Bette Middler is her name), Barbara Streisand, most of Celine Dion..........you get the picture.
