Astrology & Food

This is a list of food for each sign that will help your body feel better & be more efficient. If you have a strict diet or food ideology, this list may not be for you. It is partially my take, partially from “The Astrology Diet” by Jon Stevens (the meat suggestions are his, other than Aries & Pisces, because I agree with those based upon personal experience). Obviously, you should enjoy the bounty and variety of life, but if you’re having health or dietary issues, try supplementing your diet with more of these power foods. Basically, use this list however you like… I’m sharing with you, not dictating. :) <3

Aries: beef (or another hardy protein source), red fruits n veggies (apples, cherries, tomatoes, red bell pepper, &cayenne pepper especially), zucchini. The more protein you get, the better your body & brain will feel. Be creative in the kitchen, because Arien nature calls for meals with lots of variety and personality.

Taurus: celery, carrots, nectarines, peaches, & pork products (lean bacon & ham & porkchops). You are nostalgic eaters, so create a happy environment for yourself to savor your meal in. Your diet has as much to do with your emotional as your nutritional needs.

Gemini: persimmon, pineapple (yummy orgasms), lemons, honeydew, honey, grapefruit (but not if on birth control!), broccoli, cauliflower, eggiweggs. You tend to eat on the run, so make sure to squeeze in many small, healthy meals throughout the day. You may want to dart around in a garden of flavors, sampling nectar from every flower, but remember to indulge with moderation.

Cancer/Moonchild: dairy (whole milk, cheese, butter, ice cream, cottage cheese, cream), pears, papaya, bananas, coconut (fruit and milk), green beans, squash. Dairy will help your tummy troubles, as well as high water and low salt intake. If you don’t eat dairy, don’t despair, little doe! There are other foods that will settle the stomach without dairy, such as peppermint, ginger, rooibos tea, & yogurt. You tend to be sentimental eaters, so it is easy for you to gain, but you can lose just as easily with a little effort.

Leo: peas, beans, lentils, oranges, orange juice, tangerines, garlic, spices, chicken. Legumes are your best protein source, because after all, “beans are good for the heart”, and the sun rules the heart. ;) Another way to make your heart happy is with a little bit of exercise, which will make you feel proud, beautiful, and full of life.

Virgo: dandelion greens, mint leaves, mustard greens, parsley, spinach, turnip greens, yogurt, seeds & seed-based oils. Leafy greens are good for your digestive system, and oils are good for your skin. Fun fact: more virgos are vegetarians than any other sign, which may have something to do with their leafy requirements! :)

Libra: whole grains (whole wheat bread/pasta, barley, oats, rice, rye), chocolate, strawberries, blueberries, rhubarb, vanilla. Including complex carbohydrates will improve your physical health, which will improve your mental health. :) Good carbs will also give you the mental energy you need for juggling the many balancing acts of life, and will reduce puffiness.

Scorpio: blackberries, boysenberries, cinnamon, popcorn, pumpkin, mango, watermelon, shellfish. Scorpios can be extremists in abstinence as well as indulgence, so be aware of that so you can achieve more balance in your eating habits. Using flavorful herbs and spices is a good way to increase the intensity of the dish without radically increasing the calorie count.

Sagittarius: green stuff (artichoke, asparagus, cucumber), weird meat (duck, lamb, venison, quail, goose, veal, pheasant, rabbit, kidney, animal tongue, yeah ok), soybean & tofu if meat isn’t your preference. Given that sadgies are wanderlust-bound, I’m sure that you’ll travel to all sorts of places that will satisfy your weird protein requirements, which you need for muscle growth and repair. The more “exotic”, the greater their enjoyment.

Capricorn: avocado, kale, nuts, peanut butter, olives, oils (particularly olive oil, peanut oil, & avocado oil), cabbage, brussel sprouts. You need a high amount of fat in your diet, but avoid fat from animal & dairy sources. Capricorn’s taste is classic, elegant, & distinctive. Once they’ve discovered their preferred flavor palate, they tend to become creatures of habit.

Aquarius: lots of roots (arrowroot, beets, ginger root, horseradish, parsnips, potatoes, radish, rutabaga, sweet potatoes, taro root, turnips), cranberries, eggplant, okra. If trying to lose weight, Aquarians need to first gain self love and manifest being happy with their bodies already. This is important for all signs, but especially Aquarius, who achieves many things mentally and visualizes success.

Pisces: fish (anchovies, bass, halibut, herring, lox, salmon, sardines, trout, tuna, whitefish), caviar, eel, figs, water soluble foods such as rice, pasta, grapes, cucumbers, plums. Oh yes, and wine! But be wary not to overindulge in spirits, sodas, caffeinated beverages, or drinks with cream, as you tend to drink your calories! Pisces are most content if their food is aesthetically and spiritually pleasing, so they will get higher enjoyment by preparing meals that are pleasant to the eye, lighting candles, playing music, saying a blessing, and eating mindfully.
