Listen Up: Here's What Podcast to Check Out Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Listening to a podcast can be a great way to pass the time, whether you’re stuck in traffic, waiting in line to pay for your groceries, or taking a leisurely stroll around the city. But choosing your next podcast can be overwhelming. There are so many genres to explore, from travel podcasts that make you want to see the world to true crime stories that make you never want to leave your house. To narrow down your search, allow astrology to be your guide, and pick one of these podcasts that will suit you perfectly based on your zodiac sign. These podcasts are attuned to who you are, what you relate to, and what drives you. And don’t worry, there’s a podcast for even the most enigmatic signs – we’re looking at you, Aquarius.
Aries (March 21–April 19): The School of Greatness
Aries are notoriously ambitious, so if you want a podcast that will give you that competitive edge, look no further than The School of Greatness. Lewis Howes’s podcast covers a variety of topics, from entrepreneurship to mental health, all with a focus on self-development. On the show, Howes interviews successful people including Alanis Morissette and Matthew McConaughey. The School of Greatness will help you achieve your lofty goals, and maybe one day, you’ll be a guest on the podcast yourself.
Taurus (April 20–May 20): Your Hometown
A Taurus loves familiarity and comfort, and what’s more comfy than home? On Your Hometown, host Kevin Burke interviews public figures and everyday people about where they grew up. You’ll get that warm, fuzzy feeling of hometown nostalgia from each episode.
Gemini (May 21–June 20): You’re Wrong About
Geminis are curious, funny, and analytical, and You’re Wrong About has those exact same qualities. Hosts Michael Hobbes and Sarah Marshall address people and events that have been misinterpreted or misrepresented by the public, including the Electoral College and Princess Diana’s death. Geminis will love the podcast’s wide range of topics and the hosts’ lighthearted charisma.
Cancer (June 21–July 22): Modern Love
For sensitive Cancer souls, The New York Times‘s Modern Love is a match made in heaven. Based on the recurring column of the same name, each episode of the podcast tells a unique love story. Sometimes it’s romantic, sometimes it’s familial, sometimes it has a happy ending, and sometimes it doesn’t. So get totally in your feelings, Cancers, and listen to this one while lying on your bed and staring at the ceiling.
Leo (July 23–Aug. 22): Spectacle: An Unscripted History of Reality TV
For bold, drama-loving Leos who serve up some major main character energy in your own lives, Spectacle: An Unscripted History of Reality TV will provide a look into the history behind your favourite reality shows. Host Mariah Smith analyses how culture has shaped reality TV and how reality TV shapes culture in return. Listen to the pod while practising for your inevitable stint on your favourite reality show.
Virgo (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): Death, Sex and Money
Virgos are constantly thinking – dare we say, overthinking? Your unwavering curiosity will pair perfectly with Death, Sex and Money, which aims to answer your most random questions, especially the ones you’re too shy to ask.
Libra (Sept. 23–Oct.22): My Favorite Murder
Libras love balance, and My Favorite Murder is the perfect balance of two opposites: true crime and humour. Hosts Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark discuss famous murders and unheard of local stories, injecting their keen sense of humour to create some levity. The popular podcast has the mystery and charm Libras crave.
Scorpio (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Cult Podcast
For our Scorpios, get ready to fall deep down the rabbit hole with Cult Podcast, a weekly podcast about, well, cults. Hosts Paige Wesley, Armando Torres, and Andrea Guzzetta take humorous deep dives into both famous and lesser-known cults and their leaders. Sure, Scorpios have a reputation for cleverness and the ability to influence others, but maybe consider saving the cult leading for the podcast, OK?
Sagittarius (Nov.22–Dec. 21): 2 Dope Queens
As a Sagittarius, you might be thinking that there are more exciting, spontaneous things to do than listen to podcasts, but 2 Dope Queens is an adventure in itself. Comedians Phoebe Robinson and Jessica Williams talk about sex, race, and living in New York City. It’s fun-loving and free, just like you, Sagittarius.
Capricorn (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): The Daily
Responsible and reliable Capricorns will like the steady predictability of The Daily. The New York Times host Michael Barbaro gives you all the news you need to know in 20 minutes, five days a week. Starting each morning with this engaging news podcast will keep you sticking tight to your disciplined schedule.
Aquarius (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): Culture Gabfest
Aquarians are artistic and intelligent, and they tend to earn a bit of a reputation for their contrarian beliefs. When listening to Culture Gabfest, in which Slate‘s critics debate current culture, you’ll love hearing opposing opinions about everything pop culture, ranging from Olivia Rodrigo to White Lotus. Going head-to-head with the hot takes on this show will turn you into the culture critic you know you can be.
Pisces (Feb. 19–March 20): The Heart
Pisceans looking to feed their empathetic, creative nature, look no further than The Heart. Kaitlin Prest’s podcast is an “audio art project” about intimacy and humanity. The episodes are deep and personal stories about topics including sexuality, race, and love. Get ready to get deep.
