To kickstart your creative juices, we’ve put together song recommendations inspired by your partner’s zodiac sign; written by musicians who share that sign. As Horoscope.com explains, “With its strong influence on your personality, character and emotions, your sign is a powerful tool for understanding yourself and your relationships. And of course, your sign can show you the way to an incredible life.” Plus, what says “I love you” more than lyrics from the likes of Adele or Sinatra?!
