Coincidentemente, el signo zodiacal de Jay-Z es Sagitario. Esto atrajo más rumores de la supuesta relación entre Beyoncé y su ahora esposo Jay-Z.

## Recepción de la crítica

Escribiendo para *PopMatters*, Mark Anthony Neal reconoció a "Signs" como una de las "mejores evidencias" del crecimiento de Beyoncé como artista: "Beyoncé suena segura al escuchar cualquiera de los 'estridentes por la borda' que describen algunos de los 'ataques de melisma' que marcaron los esfuerzos vocales anteriores." También lo describió como "la mejor canción zodiacal en el R&B desde "Float On" de The Floaters.

## Letra

**Beyoncé:**

In December, every sign has its own mode

I was in love with a Sagittarius

See the emotions he put me through

From Capricorns to Aquarius

They all got their different minds

The affection of a Virgo

Which sign matches good with mine?

I was in love with a Sagittarius, he blew my mind

He also had a flip side too much like a Gemini

He was freaky like a Taurus, the way he handled me, yeah

Flirtatious like an Aries

Which sign is best for me?

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh

Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius

I love all y'all

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh

Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius

I love all y'all

Hey, I wish he was a Virgo, the same sign as me

And know how to show me love, 'cause I've been hurt by a Pisces

*(Rewind)*

I wish he was a Virgo, the same sign as me

And know how to show me love, 'cause I've been hurt by a Pisces

I want him sexy like a Scorpio

The way he holds me close, yeah

Sensitive as a Cancer

Every sign from coast to coast

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh

Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius

I love all y'all

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh

Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius

I love all y'all

I can't explain why I love him

Bossy like Leo's do

Got game like an Aquarius

Switch moves after he's been with you

Fun like a Libra

He stays on my mind

He's so unpredictable

He reminds me of every sign

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh

Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius

I love all y'all

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh

Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius

I love all y'all

Every sign from the first to the last (Ohh)

Everyday of the month has its good and its bad

(Everyday of the month)

I love you all, all twelve signs

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh

**Missy Elliott:**

Every one of these signs, you know you blowing me away

No matter when you're born for sure with me you okay

I love every one of y'all no matter what sign you are

January to December, here's my open arms

**Beyoncé:**

I was in love with a Sagittarius

I was in love with a Sagittarius

I was in love with a Sagittarius

I was in love with a Sagittarius
