How to get your Spotify musical birth chart and create a perfect Blend playlist with your bestie
Want to know your Sangeet birth chart? Spotify's new "Only You" feature has you covered.
The streaming music service still makes you wait until the end of the year for a wrapped list of its most streamed songs and artists.
But it does have a new interactive feature, launching Wednesday on Android and iOS devices, that highlights your music favorites by identifying unique pairings of your favorite artists and in other fun ways. You'll also get a personalized playlist based on your music and you can share the results.
And if your music isn't enough, a new Blend experience lets you merge with your favorite friends to create a new original playlist. Invite a friend who has a free or premium account and your new playlist will be constantly updated.

"Currently in beta, Blend is a new way for two friends to merge their music tastes into one curated playlist," the music service said in a blog post. "This feature is available globally and you can find the Blend Beta experience in the Only You Hub on the 'Made for Two' shelf."
Earlier this year, Spotify, which now has 356 million users, said it would begin offering a new Spotify HiFi subscription tier for CD-quality music later this year.
Spotify's 'Only You' musical birth chart
You can find the "Only You" feature on Spotify's home page in its mobile app. Just tap on the prompt it will start playing some personal facts about your listening.
- Your audio birth chart: You get an artist that represents the Sun (the most you've listened to in the last six months), the Moon (an emotional artist choice), and Rising (a recent musical discovery.)
- Your Dream Dinner Party: Choose three performers you'll invite to dinner—from nine options—and get a special mix. (My guest list included Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, R.E.M., The Pedaljets, Foo Fighters, Joe Strummer, and Bob Dylan.)
- Pair your artists: Spotify chooses a pair that reflects your listening range.
- Your Song Year: These picks span the years the music you listen to was made.
- Your time of day: This is a song or podcast that you listen to either early or late in the day.
- Your genres/topics: How music and podcast styles differentiate you based on your listening habits.
