Our Food Choices Also Depend On Our Date of Birth. Here’s Why.
Not a lot of us believe in sun signs and their traits and their effect on people, but those who do swear even their breathing by it. “She is so stubborn, must be a taurus!”, “He is so ambitious, must be a Scorpio!” or “He gets worked up so easily, has to be a Leo!” are things that you’ll often hear from a sun sign junkie. Not always baseless or superficial, but the zodiac can at times be eerily accurate. Even when it comes to food. No kidding! What we eat and how we pick out our flavours also has to do with the date of our birth. Find out here which food suits your sun sign and whether you have a Libran set of taste buds or Aquarian.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
The first zodiac sign, Aries lead the pack. Being a fire sign, Aries are completely in love with anything that’s spicy or anything that’s red. Red curries, chilies or tomatoes, Aries are drawn towards the aroma of spices and herbs. Anything that is quick to whip up and super delicious matches perfectly with their personality, which is possibly why you will find Aries often stuffing themselves with a horde of junk food items. On the upside, they love to experiment with new foods.
They Love: French fries, Aloo chat, Red meat, Paprika
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
These bulls are emotional and they carry their sentiments to their food also. The idea of trying the new does not appeal to them and they seek comfort from the traditional when it comes to food. Strong flavors like mint, chocolate, coriander, parsley tend to catch their fancy. They get excited with the idea of luxurious fine dining but are usually lazy when it comes to hitting the treadmill running. However, they do keep going into diet mode every now and then, coming back all lean and slim. Gluttony is a sin they that seems to have been invented because of a particularly lazy and hungry Taurus.
They Love: Sweets, Cheese, Stuffed parathas
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Ask any Gemini to name their favorite food and they will come up with varied options – everything from burgers and pizzas to salads and veggies excites them.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

They are not very fussy in what they eat and stick to mild flavors instead of the ones that really hit the taste buds.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Exclusivity defines them a Leo. Lions have a taste for luxury and panache in life and love food that’s expensive, classy and flavoursome. Pickles and condiments make their taste buds tingle and as a result, cuisines like Indian and Mexican always do the trick for them. Leos not only demand superb food on their tables but are also not averse to making a dining experience memorable by doing something cool like pulling out their guitar and as a meal accompaniment.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
The true vagabonds, Sagittarius are constantly traveling, visiting new lands and trying out innovative cuisines. As a result their palette is well versed with an array of ingredients and recipes.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
For Capricorns it’s just not the cheese that satiates them but it’s the hunt for it that adds a sense of fulfilment.

Being a ‘people’s person’, they act as a social magnet in a party and enjoy an elegant evening.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
A fish without water and a Pisces without sea food on their plate – they will both suffer. The paired fish sign is more often than not tempted by the exotic creations of Thai and Chinese cuisines mainly for their extensive use of sea food. They like water based foods like melon, sugarcane, cucumber and strawberries. Their creative bent also stimulates them to create mouth-watering innovations using their natural gift of imagination. On the spice front, they are attracted towards the aromatic ingredients.
They Love: Seafood, Juices
