Happy birthday to Icelandic sensation jazz-pop Laufey! April 23 marks the star’s 27th birthday, and there couldn’t be a better time to celebrate her unique approach to music, fusing classical sounds with jazz, pop and more to create her own distinctive and unmistakable signature.
If you’re a fan, chances are that you have an all-time favorite Laufey track, but allow us to guess which song best suits you and your personality based on your zodiac sign.
(Bewitched via Laufey)
Aries (March 21 – April 19): ‘Valentine’
There’s a reason that impulsive and passionate Aries comes at the start of the zodiac. They’re impatient and always the first to act, and it’s not uncommon for them to fall suddenly and violently in love, much like Laufey in “Valentine.” One minute, they might be going about their business, and the next, they’re deep in the throes of infatuation, despite any attempts to fight it. We also think the slow and laidback tone of the track is a nice contrast to Aries’ always-on-the-move demeanor.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): ‘Forget-Me-Not’
Hard-working and dependable Taurus is also a zodiac sign often associated with the home and the comforts and stability associated with family. Wherever they’re from, we think they’ll easily relate to the message in “Forget-Me-Not,” which serves as a love letter to her native Iceland. It’s a reflection on the importance of remembering where you come from, and relying on that love and strength as you find the courage to branch out and pursue your dreams, even if you have to leave it behind.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): ‘Too Little, Too Late’
Gemini is a sign marked by duality and its ability to see situations from different perspectives, which is why “Too Little, Too Late” my strike a special chord with the sign. Unlike most of Laufey’s music, this song takes a different point of view, written from the perspective of a man who’s lost his love and understands too late it will be impossible to ever get her back. It’s dreamy and cinematic, with an ever building sound that will appeal to Gemini’s love for drama.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): ‘Fragile’
Emotional Cancers are about as sensitive as they come, even though they might hide their true feelings being cold, hard exteriors. “Fragile” feels almost like it was written just for them, exploring how it feels to allow yourself to fall for someone after protecting your heart, and how it can feel like the world is shattering around you when it falls apart. Over the course of the song, Laufey is able to move on and heal—just as Cancer knows they will once the dust settles.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): ‘Goddess’
Leos tend to be larger-than-life personalities who command attention and turn heads, though often, people struggle to see the real person beneath the persona they put on. That also seems to be the case in “Goddess,” in which Laufey is with someone who adores her status and fame as an artist, rather than Laufey herself. She yearns to truly be seen and understood as a human being, and her heart breaks recognizing that she’ll never get that with this person.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): ‘Snow White’
No one is as self-critical as Virgo. They can be perfectionists who obsess over details, always focusing on their flaws and putting immense pressure on themselves. The words of “Snow White” reflect this pursuit for perfection, always striving to be better and mostly hurting ourselves in the process. This is particularly true for women in a world where we’re constantly pitted against each other and forced to compare ourselves to others, when in reality we should take it easy on ourselves and embrace the things that set us apart.
Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): ‘From The Start’
Friendly, peace-keeping Libras can also be the ultimate yearners. They can often refuse to speak up and keep their true feelings to themselves in order to avoid making waves, and this includes matters of love. That is evident in “From The Start,” in which Laufey falls madly in love with a friend who doesn’t feel the same way about her. She waits for them to reciprocate her feelings and confess their love, even if it’s never going to happen.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): ‘Promise’
It’s said that no sign gets hung up on the past quite like Scorpio. Whether they get stuck on past love or become vengeful because of it, they remember everything and don’t let go of old feelings easily. “Promise” is a song about just that, with Laufey finding herself connected to someone from her past despite every attempt to sever that bond and finally move forward.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): ‘A Night to Remember’
Sagittarius is known as an adventurer, risk-taker and lover of fun and laughter. They’re ones to seize the day, which is why we think they’ll easily relate to the sweet romance that develops in “A Night to Remember” with beabadoobee. It’s a song about love and first sight and allowing yourself to get swept away in a new romance, focusing on the here and now rather than worrying about what the future might bring.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): ‘How I Get’
Capricorns are famously the most disciplined sign of the zodiac. They work hard, focus on what’s important and let very few distractions get in their way. That’s why romance can be so confusing for them, as Laufey explains in “How I Get.” It’s a song about feeling completely in control of every aspect of your life, except when it comes to a single special person who makes it impossible to stick to the game plan.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): ‘Tough Luck’
Air sign Aquarius refuses to be pinned down, preferring to make their own calls and live with freedom and independence. They’re more than happy to drop a bad relationship at a moment’s notice, like Laufey does in “Tough Luck.” It’s a song about ditching someone who’s bad for her, calling out all of the ways they went wrong, and understanding she’s much better off without the burden of the relationship continuing to weigh her down.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): ‘Dreamer’
And finally, for Pisces, the imaginative and whimsical dreamer of the zodiac, there couldn’t be a better Laufey track than “Dreamer.” In the song, Laufey turns inward, stepping into a dream world of her own creation and living it up in the romance she concocts in her head as she rejects the harshness of reality. Pisces understands this sentiment well, daydreaming their days away, often to the point that real life passes them by.
