Welcome To Metal Lair’s Metalhead Horoscope
This week’s astrology brings a wall of sound that’s both melodic and crushing. If you’ve been looking for the right time to scream your desires into the void this Valentine’s Day, the universe is providing the PA system.
On the 8th, Venus squares off with the rebel king Uranus, dropping unexpected treats, think a surprise vinyl delivery or a chance encounter at the venue.
By the 10th, Venus enters Pisces, a transit that makes us all a bit more atmospheric and maybe delusional about our romantic “guest list” status.
The real cord progression happens on the 13th. Saturn exits the murky waters of Pisces and charges into Aries.
This is the planet of authority moving into the sign of “No Masters, No Gods.”
Saturn was last here for a brief demo run in mid-2025; now, it’s a full-length release.
This is about self-motivation and starting your own band where youre the front person.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
When a roadie or a fan covers your tab on the 8th, don’t overthink it, just accept the tribute. You’ve been in the trenches too long to turn down a win.
On the 10th, Venus hits Pisces, signaling a season of solo sessions and finding your center. But by the 13th, Saturn enters your sign.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Welcome to Metal Lair’s Metalhead Horoscope.
⚠️ Disclaimer: When your merch girl is a Scorpio:
She’s a hot goth gravity well that pulls you in with feral eye contact, silence, and enough chaos to make you curious. You think she’s vibing. She’s actually cataloging your weaknesses.
Forget her name? She stings. Deny her the guest-vocal spot she’s already mentally headlining? Congratulations, you’ve just been written into a long, poetic revenge arc that unfolds slowly, publicly, and with impeccable timing.
She doesn’t raise her voice, she lowers it and somehow you’re bleeding and don’t know why.

Metalhead Horoscope F.A.Q.
Q: Are these horoscopes real astrology or just jokes for metalheads?
A: Both. The horoscopes come from actual astrological forecasts, but the language is written in pure metalhead tongue- in-cheek because you deserve prophecy that sounds like a pit, not a PTA meeting.
Q: How do we pick the Lucky Song of the Week?
A: Each track is hand picked to echo the week’s cosmic vibe. If Mars is throwing horns, expect riffs sharp enough to cut steel. If the Moon is weeping in Virgo, you’ll get a track that slays with precision. No boring playlists, no cookie cutter picks. Just new drops, deep cuts and cult classics.
Q: Can metal really mix with astrology?
A: Of course. Both are about cycles, transformation, and intensity. Astrology tells you where the stars are screaming and metal tells you how to scream back.
Q: Why should I care about astrology if I only worship riffs and distortion?
A: Because the cosmos is basically the ultimate tour manager thats setting the stage, flipping the lights, and sometimes cancelling the gig. You don’t have to believe in it to bang your head to it.
Q: Do we take requests for Lucky Songs in our horoscopes?
A: Absolutely. Drop your ideas in the comments or shoot us a message. We might just spin your favorite band into the cosmic setlist next week.
Q: Does Metal Lair have other series like this?
A: Yes! Metal Lair runs several signature series that explore every corner of heavy music:
