Some people use white noise machines, while many others turn to the magical power of ASMR to relax or fall asleep. ASMR, also known as Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, refers to a deep sense of relaxation and tingling that occurs whenever you encounter one of your favorite triggers.
ASMR triggers can be sounds, such as someone whispering, tapping, or crinkling paper, or watching the action of a soothing task, such as folding a towel or typing on a keyboard. Your preferred stimulation will usually be something you encounter naturally in your daily life, but you can also sift through countless options online to find the type of ASMR that works best for you.
That, or you can let your zodiac sign be your guide. According to astrologer Stina Garbis, each zodiac sign rules a part of the body, such as the head, stomach, or hands, which is a great rule of thumb when considering which type of ASMR you'd most enjoy. Good starting point. This will help you skip hundreds of chewing channels and maddening posts to get your ideal whispering video.
Ready to relax? Then keep scrolling below to learn the best types of ASMR for each zodiac sign, according to astrologers.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
As an Aries, you'll love brushing your hair ASMR. According to Garbis, this fire sign is ruled by the head, which means you'll enjoy personal attention videos where someone takes care of someone else - especially if it relates to this area. Seeing someone massaging their scalp or gently combing their hair can be particularly stinging. Who knows, you might even enjoy those ear cleaning videos.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Garbis says nothing makes a Taurus happier than a good, old-fashioned mukbang or eating video. As an earth sign ruled by the neck, you'll immediately feel a tingle at the sound of someone slurping down a bowl of noodles, and it's easy to fall asleep to the cacophony of crunching or chewing. While this type of ASMR can be irritating to some people, it's like music to your ears.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
Gemini, you're into fast hand movement ASMR, where someone snaps their fingers quickly or taps a hard surface. Fast drum sounds appeal to your slightly chaotic air symbols. According to Garbis, your zodiac sign also rules the hands, which is why you'll also be fascinated by Reiki ASMR, in which someone uses hand gestures to push and pull energy. "They can experience what it's like to have their energy manipulated in a profound way," she said.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
There's a reason your TikTok algorithm keeps showing you that ASMR live broadcast at 2 a.m. As a water sign, Cancers are attracted to the sound of sparkling water, whether it's someone stirring soup, the sound of ice cubes in a glass, or the sound of a water sign, Garbis says. The water in the river is bubbling. As long as it's liquid, you'll be a big fan.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
As a fire sign represented by Leo, the Leo, you enter a higher level of relaxation when you hear your cat purring, Garbis says. Many people place their pets next to ultra-sensitive microphones to capture every purr, which can be very relaxing for some. Since you are always busy and busy, you should slow down, put on a blanket, have a cup of tea and relax with your cute kitten.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Nothing tickles a Virgo's brain like clearing out ASMR. Now that you appreciate the act of decluttering, look for Sunday Reset videos or a closet cleanout on TikTok. You'll love the idea of taking time out of your own cleaning schedule to watch other people make changes. Just one glance at the perfectly formed vacuum lines in the carpet and you'll be asleep in no time.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
As an air sign ruled by Venus, you'd turn to jelly if you watched a luxurious spa treatment or gentle makeup ASMR. "For Libras, the feeling of being pampered can be very relaxing because it reminds them of their own self-care habits," Garbis says. Color assessment ASMR may also be popular as you appreciate the art of choosing the right shades and tones for someone's skin tone.
Scorpio (October 23rd - November 22nd)
Scorpios love whispering ASMR the most. These close-up, ultra-quiet videos often involve someone speaking directly into your ear and will send shivers down your spine. As a water sign, you always feel relaxed when people's words and actions are slow and intentional. According to Gabis, you also like it when someone tells you a secret. Another option? Magic Potion Making ASMR where you watch someone mix a drink.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
"Sagittarians are fun and smart, which is why they love the uplifting sound of paper or plastic crinkling," Garbis said. Thankfully, YouTube is filled with videos of people flipping through books, crumpling wrapping paper, and flicking through letters or postcards. As a curious and adventurous fire sign, you might also enjoy unboxing videos, where people open packages and reveal the contents.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
As the sign that rules bones, it makes sense that Capricorns would be attracted to crunchy chiropractic ASMR, Garbis says. You can feel the intimacy and personal attention that comes with this type of video, especially when the creator does a full physical exam. "Capricorn likes to take care of themselves and is a pragmatic sign," says Garbis, so you'll like to pretend you're really there. These extra big snaps are really for you.
Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)
As a friendship-focused air sign, Aquarius, if you watch eye contact ASMR (i.e., a video where it looks like someone is talking directly to you), you'll get an immediate tingle. "You'll appreciate the feeling of being seen and understood, and the intimacy of the personal attention," Garbis says. That's why you might also be drawn to videos of your doctor's exams. These role plays often start with a mind-bending absorption process and then lead into exams - and you'll love every minute of it.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces, there's nothing like artsy ASMR to help you drift off to dreamland. Think watercolors, slow script writing, or even close-ups of hands busy knitting. According to Garbis, this water sign is attracted to all things artistic, which is why you won't just feel relaxed when you watch someone else create — you might even get some inspiration.
