ASTROLOGY, FOOD & WINE
The following food horoscopes are excerpts from food.astrology.com. The site also offers everything from astrological coffee, recipe and dessert suggestions. The site also delves deeper into the subject under its “Moon Sign Food Profiles” by Donna Cunningham, expounding each sign’s motivation for eating. Unfortunately, no wine suggestions were included, so we’ve obliged just for fun. We caution that this is all meant in fun and warn against getting stuck in a wine rut, so taste everything!

ARIES: MARCH 21 - APRIL 19
Aries likes variety–so serve a bunch of appetizers. Fire Signs want their food to be hot and spicy. The Ram hates bland things and likes to spice up their meals with basil, cinnamon and curry. When cooking for an Aries, remember: the redder, the better!
Wine: Wyndham Estate Bin 555 Shiraz, versatility is Shiraz, plus it’s red and spicy.

TAURUS: APRIL 21 - MAY 20
Taurus has a sweet tooth, so marshmallows, cinnamon and nutmeg are all winners. Earth Signs like practical food, too, so hearty dishes with flavors like parsley and mint are good things. The Bull will want to savor a meal full of fine flavors, so never take one out for fast food!
Wine: Jacob’s Creek Reserve Riesling, fine flavors and practical choice.

GEMINI: MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Gemini is always on the go, so they're looking for food they can pick up and run with, or that they don't need to spend forever preparing. The Twins are fond of ginger and parsley. As an Air Sign, they're looking for variety.
Wine: Wyndham Estate Bin 888 Cabernet/Merlot 2000, varietal/variety, all the tasteful benefits of being two-faced.

CANCER: JUNE 22 - JULY 22
Cancer is a homebody that, as a Water Sign, is looking for comfort food. The Crab is an excellent cook, so making delicious meals with their favorite flavors–like basil, garlic, mint, nutmeg and vanilla–is no problem!
Wine: Wyndham Estate Bin 222 Chardonnay, from Wyndham’s and great with crab.

LEO: JULY 23 - AUGUST 22
Give sunny Leo sunflower seeds for munching. They want spicy food from warm places, like the Mediterranean. Garlic is not a flavor for the Lion, but they adore cloves, nutmeg and parsley. Remember that Leo wants the absolute best of everything!
Wine: Jacob’s Creek Grenache Shiraz, both varieties love warm climates and have Mediterranean roots.

VIRGO: AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22
Stable Virgo likes mint, parsley, vanilla and herbs in general. They will want a meal that is served or created in an orderly fashion and is not missing any key parts. They will have good taste when it comes to either making or consuming a meal.
Wine: Jacob’s Creek Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, stable, consistent and good taste.

LIBRA: SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 22
Libra gets two of everything in a meal, and it may take them a little while to decide which dish they prefer. These dishes, however, will most likely contain some of their favorite flavorings, like cloves, ginger, mint and vanilla.
Wine: Back at it, Jacob’s Creek Grenache Shiraz, easy decision, two of everything.

SCORPIO: OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21
Scorpio is all about intensity. The Scorpion wants food bursting with powerful flavors like basil, cinnamon, curry, garlic and ginger. If possible, the food should be deep red in color. As a Water Sign, though, there's still some element of Scorpio, which wants food that reminds them of home.
Wine: Wyndham Estate Show Reserve Shiraz, balanced intensity and bursting with flavor.

SAGITTARIUS: NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21
Sagittarius is always in the mood for something new and adventurous. Their fiery nature leads them to hot and spicy food with bold flavors featuring cloves, curry and garlic. They are also fond of fig trees and the color blue.
Wine: Again, Jacob’s Creek Reserve Riesling, this time the focus is on residual sugar to counter the heat.

CAPRICORN: DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19
Capricorn, always steadfast and practical, likes simple, earthy foods. You don't want to feed the Goat anything exotic, like ginger or basil; they're happy with the plain parsley and cloves or nutmeg for flavor. They are also partial to substantial foods that will fill them up.
Wine: Jacob’s Creek Reserve Chardonnay, a gift from the earth, steadfast and full-bodied.

AQUARIUS: JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18
Aquarius rules the olive tree, which works well for an Air Sign who wants to snack and run. They like a variety of strong flavors, too, including garlic and ginger. Though they'll eat almost anything, The Water Bearer would rather have takeout.
Wine: Jacob’s Creek Reserve Shiraz, strong flavors, so versatile you can eat with almost anything.

PISCES: FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20
Pisces is, naturally, a big fan of seafood. Whether it's standard salmon or exotic octopus, the Fish will devour it. Their special spices are cloves, mint, nutmeg and vanilla. More importantly, they want any food that they consume to be organic.
Wine: Wyndham Estate Show Reserve Chardonnay, beautifully exotic and loves fish, too.
