I'm not sure if there has been a thread like this started before so I am going to go ahead and start one...Post the lyrics and/or video (up to you) of a song you love and compare it to astrology. Whether it be a natal aspect/placement, relationship astrology, predictive astrology; whatever comes to mind. I'll start. Tonight I had the spontaneous urge to go back to my roots and listen to the music that I so strongly connected with when I was younger. Pearl Jam came to mind as I always had a great love for their music and lyrics--whether or not I could relate to the words or not. The vibe of their songs gives off such a strong emotion that any one could understand. Listening to their song, Black; whilst having astrology being a big thing on my mind lately, I thought of a lovely Moon or Venus/Neptune contact in synastry being broken by a harsh Saturn transit. Lyrics Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul As the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn Ooh, and all I taught her was everything Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...
I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning How quick the sun can, drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why Can't it be, can't it be mine Link to Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A9jPmHecRg

I went through a bad break up a couple of years back but this song made me feel a bit better... Not my fave song but I do like itBulletproof by La Roux I get an Aries feel with a Leo undertone ... firey get up and go sort of feel , moving forward, not letting pride get hurt etc. Bulletproof Lyrics Been there done that messed around I'm having fun don't put me down I'll never let you sweep me off my feet I won't let you in again The messages I tried to send My information's just not going in Burning bridges shore to shore I break away from something more I'm not turned on to love Until it's cheap Been there done that messed around I'm having fun don't put me down I'll never let you sweep me off my feet This time baby I'll be bulletproof This time baby I'll be bulletproof I won't let you turn around And tell me now I'm much too proud To walk away from something when its dead Do do do your dirty words Come out to play When you are hurt? There's certain things That should be left unsaid Tick tick tick tick On the watch And life's too short For me to stop Oh baby Your time is running out I won't let you turn around And tell me now I'm much too proud All you do is fill me up with doubt This time baby I'll be bulletproof x5 This time I'll be bulletproof This time I'll be bulletproof This time baby I'll be bulletproof x4

Love Little Dragon. Lead Singer Yukimi Nagano is an Aquarius by the way. Love their sound. My song choice would be Zero 7 "Destiny", an old song that's mesmerizing. Here are a section of the lyrics. Zero 7 in general is Aquarian in spirit with a touch of the Moon and Neptune. "The journey's long And it feels so bad I'm thinking back to the last day we had. Old moon fades into the new Soon I know I'll be back with you I'm nearly with you I'm nearly with you When I'm weak I draw strength from you And when you're lost I know how to change your mood And when I'm down you breathe life over me Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny On a clear day I'll fly home to you I'm bending time getting back to you Old moon fades into the new Soon I know I'll be back with you I'm nearly with you I'm nearly with you" IP: Logged |

And you know what the creepy part is about that? I had no clue she was an Aquarius loool. But yeah, "Feather" pretty much embodies Aqua and Neptune to me and if you think about the title of the disc it comes from, it gets even funnier in an eerie way : "Machine Dreams".
Nuff said. Their song "Twice" feels like Water and Air to me. Exactly WHICH water and air signs I'm not sure. IP: Logged |

Twice is a deep creation. I feel a Plutonian depth to that song as well as the Aquarian spirit of Yukimi that melts through all the songs. I sense her intentions within the lyrics. I think its Air and Water, Fixed signs, Scorpio and Aquarius. (Scorpio Energy) "Was it the light ways So frightening Was it two wills One mirror holding us dearer now" (Aquarian Spirit) "Thought I had an answer once But your random ways swept me along Colossal signs so I got lost With so many lovers singing soft" "Constant Surprises" by Little Dragon is a good one also that is very Plutonian and Uranian with a touch of Neptune. "Constant surprises Coming my way Some call it coincidence But I like to call it fate The higher forces want to connect Last night in my dream I was talking to you You know who you are Were you dreaming too ‘Cause in my life Things are built on Are built on Constant surprises Coming my way Some call it coincidence But I like to call it fate Then on my way home I met this guy He was not so shy You know not that kind We spoke then suddenly I could read his mind You think it’s mad But I don’t fool myself You think its odd ‘Cause in my life In my life things are built on They built on They built on" IP: Logged |

This screams Venus-Pluto to me:You can't escape the wrath of my heart Beating to your funeral song All faith is lust for hell regained And love dust in the hands of shame Let me bleed you this song of my heart deformed And lead you along this path in the dark Where I belong until I feel your warmth Hold me like you held onto life When all fears came alive and entombed me Love me like you loved the sun Scorching the blood in my vampire heart I am the thorns in every rose You've been sent by hope I am the nightmare waking you up From the dream of a dream of love Let me weep you this poem As heaven's gates close And paint you my soul scarred and alone Waiting for your kiss to take me back home IP: Logged |

It's by Lady Gaga (there isn't any other good video of it on youtube but this one, with a bunch of Michael Jackson clips). OFF THE WALL, get your ass. OFF THE WALL, throw that girl against the wall, Retro Phys-i-cal. OFF THE WALL, get your ass. OFF THE WALL, work that boy! So sex-u-al: REtro Phys-i-cal...!

It sounds like an attempt to knockoff Michael Jackson's epic song, "Off The Wall" rolled into Olivia Newton John's "Let's Get Physical." But I will refrain from attacking Gaga's and answer your question. That song is all Martian energy. It's no surprise Gaga's an Aries. "Physical" and "Against the wall" enough said. IP: Logged |

"Twice" is definitely water and air but at this point I think it's Pisces and Libra. Some of the lyrics actually embody that pretty literally : "...signs so I got lost/With so many lovers, singing soft".
The other song by them that I've always liked, is "Test". I think it's pretty much fire and earth - the lyrical content is pretty philosophical with dark undertones in certain places but there's something optimistic and hopeful about it too so I'd say Jupiter/Sagittarius with hints of Pluto/Scorpio. The actual music sounds really earthy and organic to me so I want to say Taurus for that. IP: Logged |

One of my all time favorite songs is Planet Caravan which is originally done by Black Sabbath (which I LOVE). It is so unbelievable peaceful and serene. Pantera did an incredible cover that blew me away even more.The song lyrics speak for itself. It was written by Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler who state that it is about floating through the universe with your lover. The song in general, in both versions, are very Neptunian/Piscean to me. So dreamy and surreal. One of the most beautiful nights of my life was spent listening to this song in my back yard, stargazing and admiring our Moon. This song literally takes my breath away. Listening to it makes me feel in tune with the universe. The Lyrics We sail through endless skies Stars shine like eyes The black night sighs The Moon in silver dreams Falls down in beams Light of the night The earth a purple blaze Of sapphire haze In orbit always While down below the trees Bathed in cool breeze Silver starlight breaks dawn from night And so we pass on by The crimson eye Of great god Mars As we travel the universe Black Sabbath http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW3pZjmS3rg Pantera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIl5CW8fJPY IP: Logged |

I have the same birthday as Tony Iommi, I've always wondered if he was pisces or aqua.

Used to listen to this as a teenager, in fact I still do now... My thoughts are below the lyrics.Megadeth- In My Darkest Hour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6LL5iA6y9o In my hour of need Ha you're not there And though I reached out for you Wouldn't lend a hand Through the darkest hour Grace did not shine on me It feels so cold, very cold No one cares for me Did you ever think I get lonely Did you ever think that I needed love Did you ever think to stop thinking You're the only one that I'm thinking of You'll never know how hard I tried To find my space and satisfy you too Things will be better when I'm dead and gone Don't try to understand, knowing you I'm probably wrong But oh how I lived my life for you Still you'd turn away Now as I die for you My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name All these years I thought I was wrong Now I know it was you Raise your head raise your face your eyes Tell me who you think you are, who ? I walk, I walk alone Into the promised land There's a better place for me But it's far, far away Everlasting life for me In a perfect world But I gotta die first Please God send me on my way Time has a way of taking time Loneliness is not only felt by fools Alone I call to ease the pain Yearning to be held by you, alone, so alone, I'm lost Consumed by the pain The pain, the pain, the pain Won't you hold me again You just laughed, ha, ha, b***h My whole life is work built on the past But the time has come when all things shall pass This good thing passed away. This song is for Saturn in Capricorn, with a bit of Jupiter thrown in. I think there is this thing with Cap Saturn and this angst that I cant really explain except that it's worse in a sort of "separation from source" thing if there is Jupiter involved. Dave Mustaine has Jupiter in Cap conjuncting his Saturn and ruling his ASC (Sag) and IC/Chiron (Pisces by trad rulers). I get that energy from that since I'm a Pisces Sun (tr Jupiter exact) and Sag moon and Mustaine's Saturn is cunjunct my Venus (exact) and my own Saturn in Cap (2 deg orb). ------------------ Transit Saturn giveth and Transit Saturn taketh away...

I think of this as a Sun meets Moon and together they reach out to Venus. As if it's a Solar Eclipse on a Libra Ascendant chart:Unseen Sight I awake with no reverie No thoughts to ponder pry The single ray of golden light Engulfs my every pore and more With shines of molten purity The ebb and soft flow of blissful breath It seems I see what is unseen Perhaps I’ve been where nobody’s been The vivid imprints sting my soul I recoil then recall the glorious joy and on again and up again and back again and through never far from…. Wistful in my clarity Hope in focused beams Of spilling words tranquillity The one to see through veils of shade In gratitude of stolen beauty A sighing gaze softens my touch sweet visions of an unseen sight silhouetted in the purest light engulfed in expressive echoes, evoked in silence It seems I see what is unseen Perhaps I’ve been where nobody’s been The vivid imprints sting my soul I recoil then recall the glorious joy and on again and up again and back again and through never far from….

Train of Consequences by Megadeath reminds me of a Mercury/Mars/Uranus conjunction in the natal chart. I'm doing you a favor As I'm taking all your money I guess I should feel sorry But I don't even trust me There's bad news creeping up And you feel a sudden chill How do you do? My name is trouble I'm coming in for the kill... And you know I will Set the ball a-rollin' I'll be clicking off the miles On the train of consequences My boxcar life of style My thinking is derailed I'm tied up to the tracks The train of consequences There ain't no turning back No horse ever ran as fast As the money that you bet I'm blowing on my cards And I play them to my chest Life's fabric is corrupt Shot through with corroded thread As for me I hocked my brains Packed my bags and headed West http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOk2lrhroRY&feature=related IP: Logged |
