Astrological imprints are influenced by the types of foods we enjoy eating. The following is an overview of the best foods for astrological signs.
The following is an overview of the best foods for the zodiac signs according to the ruling element.
Earth Signs
The earth signs of Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn hold solid, traditional energy that extends into their food choices. When considering foods for these signs, go for what is tried and true. They don’t typically like surprises, and they can be creatures of habit. So, once they identify foods that they enjoy, they will incorporate them into their daily eating routine.
Taurus is one of the most sensual signs of the zodiac, and they enjoy taking their time to enjoy all their senses…including taste. This sensual earth sign enjoys tried and true foods such as steak and potatoes and anything that will thoroughly engage the taste buds. It is important to note that many Taureans are sensitive about the texture of their foods. If the texture is “off,” they can be turned off. Also, because Taurus is a slow-moving sign, this extends to how they eat their food. So please, no rushing them when they eat. Make sure all meals are seasoned thoroughly as Taurus dislikes bland food.
Virgo is often aligned with purity within the zodiac. Thus, the term “clean eating” was invented for them. This sign is likely to consider how foods impact their body…especially the digestive system which is ruled by Virgo. Also, Virgo (along with its opposite sign Pisces) is extremely sensitive to impurities, so eating the cleanest food possible is desired. In terms of the best foods for Virgo, think of foods that support the overall health of the body. Delicious, nutritious smoothies, grass-fed meats, responsibly sourced fish, or at the other end of the spectrum a vegetarian and/or vegan diet because is considered “cleaner” in terms of food consumption.
Capricorn is the serious sign per its ruler Saturn, and it enjoys quality foods that are properly prepared, but without all the extras. With this sign, you may want to skip the extra spice. The best way to feed Capricorn is to either directly ask them what they like to eat…since they are pretty direct about what they require and need. Upon receiving this information, make sure that you choose the best cuts of meat, the best type of fish, the best vegetables, and make a quality dinner. Also, being an earth sign, Capricorn likes its routines, so make sure their meals are prepared on time.
Water Signs
The water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces love food and often there is an emotional attachment to eating. This is especially true for Cancer. The types of foods that water signs are likely to enjoy can fluctuate depending on their mood. Seafood is often a favorite for some water signs especially Pisces. Since food preferences are often linked to the emotional nature, it’s a good idea to check in with water signs to see what they would like to eat.
Cancer is known for being a good cook, and a desire for comfort food that makes them feel warm, welcome, and protected is ideal. Think of the classic comfort foods such as mashed potatoes and gravy, chicken and dumplings, hearty soups and stews, and homemade macaroni and cheese. Cancer enjoys dairy, so rich sauces are a plus as well. For dessert, don’t forget the homemade cookies and brownies.
The passionate sign of Scorpio often enjoys foods that have flavor and depth. For some, this means spicy while for others this means foods that have a distinct taste. Consider a seafood dish that is well-seasoned with a variety of spices. Curries are also an excellent choice as they have the layered depth in both taste and texture, and there’s nothing more satisfying to a Scorpio than depth.
Pisces is the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, and this ties in with their food choices. Many Pisceans opt for vegetarian diets due to their sensitivity similar to their opposite sign Virgo. Consider lots of seafood and easily digestible foods that help to increase energy. Also consider consuming foods, particularly vegetables, with high water content as it is important for Pisces as a water sign to stay hydrated.
Fire Signs
There are a variety of foods that pique the tastebuds of the warm fire signs. Fire signs vary in the foods that they like based on the sign.
With Aries, fast is important. While Taurus is likely to wait for a moment for a good meal, Aries wants to feed its hunger now! Thus, convenient, fast foods are likely to be a staple for this sign. Think fast food, or for the more refined eater, take out. When hunger strikes for Aries, quelling hunger needs to happen fast. This sign is also more likely to become “hangry” (a mixture of hungry and angry), so having snacks on hand to eat is also ideal.
Leo, the Lion wants to eat in luxury. Think of eating like a star where only the best will suffice. Lobster, king crab, juicy filet mignon, and creme brulee for dessert. While Cancer is likely to make its own home-cooked meal, Leo prefers to leave the cooking to others so that it can spend its time enjoying the best that the culinary world has to offer.
As a world traveler, Sagittarius is always interested in exploring different cuisines. Appeal to the archer’s taste buds by offering dishes from across the world. From pad thai to tamales, Sagittarius will always enjoy cuisine from a different place, so get out your cookbooks or head on out to your favorite Japanese, Mexican, Ethiopian, or other restaurants for food from around the world.
Air Signs
Being light, easy, and breezy, the air signs love to communicate, and they also value variety. Unlike the earth signs, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius enjoy adding something new to their food choices.
Gemini, The Twins, is likely to prefer food options that offer a great deal of variety. Never the one to enjoy boredom, the more food options the better. To be honest, anything that delights the Gemini’s taste buds is a go! Just make sure to mix it up a bit because the last thing that Gemini wants to do is get stuck eating the same thing every day.
As a sign of balance and beauty, Libra’s enjoy a good meal….or a beautiful meal rather. Think of carefully curated tea parties with the finest English teas, scones and marmalades, and proper finger sandwiches. Just a heads up for meal preparation for Libra, make sure that food is plated well. Libra enjoys beautiful things, and that includes a plate of food that looks good. Remember, food presentation plays an important role in food consumption, and this is especially true for Libra.
The quirky sign of Aquarius likes food that is different from the norm. Perhaps it is regular food that is just presented in a different way such as a soup bowl made from sourdough bread, or maybe a boba drink where the experience of eating and drinking food is unique. Communal eating environments could be enjoyable for Aquarius as this sign is always seeking to connect with humanity.
So, how do you enjoy food based on your zodiac sign? Whether it’s a hearty meal of steak and potatoes or something more exotic like octopus, there is something for everyone in the zodiac to enjoy. Bon appetit!
