Happy Thanksgiving you beautiful riff gremlins !
Metalhead Horoscope
The sky this week feels like a band finally hitting the tight part of tour:
The Sun spotlights the goals you’ve been too intimidated to chase. Now they glare at you like a stage light daring you to step up.
Mercury and Saturn stop acting like broken gear and finally lock into a clean signal. All the crap that’s been blocking your path starts to crumble like a cheap amp stack.
Venus is burning through her last loud week, turning desire, creativity, and attraction into something that feels like a late night studio session when everyone’s tired but magic keeps happening anyway.
This week? Everyone’s chasing clarity, connection… and the perfect playlist.
ARIES March 21 – April 20
Your whole week feels like standing side-stage waiting for your cue. Your adrenalines humming, heartbeat synced with the kick drum.
Mars pushes you out there whether you’re ready or not. Every decision you’ve been hesitating over suddenly feels obvious, sharpened by Mercury finally behaving like a producer who actually knows what they’re doing.
In love, you’re loud, fast, and hard to ignore. Just don’t blow out your own mix. Leave room for the other person to plug in, too.
End of week brings a moment that feels like a power stance on a festival stage, bold, public, unavoidable.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Metal Church: F.A.F.O. Rat Pak Records
TAURUS April 21 – May 21
Your sign is usually the doom metal riff. Steady, slow and stubborn. But this week? You soften around the edges like a band agreeing to reunite after years of not speaking.
Forgiveness sneaks in where you didn’t expect it. Mercury and Saturn open a path to repairing bonds, but in that “we still keep boundaries” way metal people prefer.
Your passion chart screams duo energy with two people locking into the same groove. Could be a collaborator, partner, best friend, or someone new who just gets your rhythm instantly.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Ritual Arcana – Subtle Fruits Heavy Psych Sounds Records
GEMINI May 22 – June 21
Jupiter’s retrograde messed with your finances like a surprise merch shortage on tour. You’ve probably felt uninspired and second guessing every money move.
But now the forward moving planets start behaving like a tight rhythm section: suddenly everything you do lands cleaner.
And something from your past, an old contact, project, or idea swings back into your orbit like a bandmate returning with better gear. There’s a prize in this week’s setlist. Don’t ghost it.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Lamb of God – Parasocial Christ Epic Records
CANCER June 22 – July 22
The Sun shines on you and you get an energy burst. The kind you get right before a show when you swear you were tired an hour ago. Don’t waste it, channel it.
Mercury opens a path through something complicated. A trip, a plan or a logistical knot. Think tour routing that suddenly makes sense.
Meanwhile, the Moon pulls you back to your emotional core reminding you what still matters when the amps cool and the crowd goes home.
Your luck points north, the direction of cold scenes, black metal resolve, and clear air. Follow that vibe.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Enshine – Shimmering
LEO July 23 – August 23
Love inside the family has felt thin, like everyone’s playing different songs with no soundcheck. You keep wondering why you’re the only one trying.
Enter Mercury, the practical friend who forces everyone into the same rehearsal room long enough to find common ground.
You’ll feel tempted to over-perform, but don’t, save your energy.
There’s a romantic plot twist coming, the kind that feels like someone announcing a new album out of nowhere. Keep your ego polished, keep your schedule loose, and keep your heart louder than your defenses.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Of Mice and Men – Flowers Century Media
VIRGO August 24 – September 22
The Sun highlights your long-term dreams and goals. Whatever your version of “finally getting the right rehearsal space” is. Something shifts forward.
Love settles into a steady, no-bullshit groove this week. Saturn supports it calmly, grounded and functional. You don’t need outside validation, you feel the connection in the way a guitar feels tuned even before you strum it.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Course of Fate – Acolyte Reigning Phoenix Music
LIBRA September 23 – October 23
A new gig appears, it isn’t glamorous at first, but its real, doable, and worth pursuing. This isn’t a week for shortcuts; it’s a week for methodical layering, like tracking each instrument one by one until the mix is perfect.
Your love life is fueled by shared metal genres. Someone whose authenticity has never wavered suddenly feels magnetic. Their honesty hits like a good breakdown.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Behölder – Tower Of The Broken God Black Lion Records
SCORPIO October 24 – November 22
Mercury finally stops glitching, and your brain switches from static to full stereo clarity.
That change you’ve been preparing for, a job, move, breakup, commitment, or reinvention? It hits fast, like ripping the intro riff instead of easing into it.
In relationships, reclaim your identity. No more shrinking. If you’re single, someone with big stage energy appears charismatic, talented, maybe a little dangerous. The kind of person who turns heads when they walk on stage.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Converge – Love Is Not Enough Epitaph Records
SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 21
Your ambition is a furnace. The Sun and Mars set you on fire in the best way with confidence, courage, and swagger dialed to eleven.
Saturn gives you a cleaner self image, like wiping fingerprints off a guitar before a show. You finally see yourself clearly.
A secret is ready to be spilled. This isn’t drama, this is reveal track energy.
Choose who gets to hear it like you’re choosing who sits in on your most personal studio session.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Rob Zombie – Heathen Days Nuclear Blast Records
CAPRICORN December 22 – January 20
Moon emotion, Saturn discipline, and Mercury precision lock into the same groove this week like a trio writing their best song in real time.
You finally manage to sing something difficult, and the lyrics land with impact.
A long avoided legacy opportunity, inheritance, family responsibility or an old offer now feels possible instead of heavy.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Annisokay – Silent Anchor Arising Empire Records
AQUARIUS January 21 – February 18
This week is a reminder that value isn’t the same as money. Some people and projects are priceless because they shape your identity, not your bank account.
A collaboration may offer less cash but way more future potential. The classic “small label that actually cares” scenario.
Travel, routing, scheduling, or timing all tilt in your favor, like catching every green light on the way to the gig.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Shinedown – Searchlight Atlantic Records
PISCES February 19 – March 20
Saturn hands you unexpected backbone this week. Not loud, not dramatic, just steel under the softness.
In work, love, or family, you win by making the first move instead of waiting for emotional safety.
Mercury sharpens your creativity. You absorb ideas, flip them inside out, and turn them into something brilliant and weird, like a prog metal arrangement that shouldn’t work but absolutely slaps.
Your Lucky Song of The Week: Twenty One Pilots – Seven Nation Army (cover) Fueled By Ramen
And that, my wayward creatures, is your metalhead horoscope. If something’s shaking loose in your chest, let it fall. If someone tries to clip your wings, bite harder.
And if the universe whispers, listen. I don’t mean with your ears, I mean with that molten place behind your ribs that knows the truth before you do.
You’re not here to be small.
You’re not here to be polite.
You’re here to burn beautifully, purposefully, unapologetically.
So take what resonates, discard the rest, and set fire to anything that dares to dim you.
I’ll be watching from the shadows, ink stained, road dusted, and grinning like a sinner who knows something holy.
-Sabbatha

⚠️ Disclaimer: If your rhythm guitarist is a Sagittarius, good luck keeping your sanity. You’re basically working with a chaos gremlin who thinks they’re the band’s spiritual guide and the unofficial boss despite never learning a single part all the way through.
They’ll show up to practice with a brand new philosophy, a half tuned guitar, and the confidence of a person who has never once been correct. Tell them they’re playing the wrong chords and they’ll smirk and say, “It’s called improvisation, babe. Expand your mind.”
And don’t let them start one of their “big idea” speeches. They’ll talk for 30 minutes straight, convince themselves they’ve inspired everyone and forget why they plugged in. It’s Sagittarius season. Prepare for loud opinions, zero accountability, and riffs that wander off like feral cats.

Metalhead Horoscope F.A.Q.
Q: Are these horoscopes real astrology or just jokes for metalheads?
A: Both. The horoscopes come from actual astrological forcasts, 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:
- Seven Deadly Songs – A weekly roundup of the most unholy new releases.
- Deep Cuts – Hidden gems and lost recordings from rock and metal history.
- A Rip in Time: Women in Metal – A series celebrating the voices, pioneers, and rule-breakers reshaping heavy music’s DNA
