AskMeCha: Songs about astrology? I'm making a mix for a work friend who is really really REALLY into astrology. He has astrology-related tattoos. Let's leave it at that. Anyway, I'm starting to get a little stumped so any and all suggestions (and yes, I have "Age of Aquarius" by the Fifth Dimension already) are appreciated. Go!

Curtis Mayfield's 'Readings in Astrology,' and the Supremes 'No Matter What Sign You Are,' are both a good time.

Do they have to be positive? Joni Mitchell's Roses Blue has "She's gotten into tarot cards and potions / She's gotten into zodiac and zen" but it's mostly about how that's made the character freaky and weird and friendless.

You guys are fantastic.

Fun fact: Beyoncé Knowles and I were born on the same day. And now she's famous and I'm making mix CDs.

Also, I've got quite a few jazz songs which are titled after astrological signs (including Charles Earland's smoking soul-jazz organ version of 'The Age of Aquarius'). Come to think of it, I've also got Andy Williams singing 'TAoA.' Let me know if you'd like 'em.

According to Wikipedia, a lot of songs reference the Return of Saturn. The most notable (to me anyway) being REM's "Saturn Return."

Ah, crrrap, that reminds me that Saturn is a-comin' after me pretty soon.
