The Cosmic Culinary Guide: Foods and Herbs for Each Zodiac Sign

Posted by Alicia Overton on

Have you ever felt that the stars might hold the key to your culinary preferences? While astrology is often associated with personality traits and compatibility, it turns out that your zodiac sign also influence your food choices. According to ancient wisdom and modern interpretations, each zodiac sign has its own set of preferred foods and flavors, aligning with the cosmic energies that shape our personalities. Let's delve into the cosmic culinary code and explore the best foods for each zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

As natural-born leaders, Aries individuals are drawn to bold and fiery flavors. They crave foods that match their dynamic personality, such as spicy dishes, grilled meats, and vibrant vegetables like red peppers and tomatoes. Energizing foods like lean proteins and whole grains fuel their active lifestyle. Arians greatly benefit from incorporating foods rich in potassium phosphate into their diet, such as tomatoes, beans, brown rice, lentils, walnuts, olives, onions, lettuce, cauliflower, cucumber, spinach, broccoli, figs, bananas, dried uncooked apricots, and pumpkin.

Herbal Gaurdians: To support their adventurous nature and combat inflammation, Aries can benefit from herbs like nettle, turmeric, and ginger. These herbs can help boost energy levels and enhance vitality. We suggest: EYE OF THE FLAME Fire Tonic, ACTIVISM Superbrew, or ACTIVISM Daily Dose Drops

Balancing Excess Aries: Yarrow's energy serves as a wise sage for Aries energies, gently prompting Aries individuals to ease their pace and embrace the ebb and flow of energy, rather than constantly forging ahead. Yarrow aids in restoring balance to our bodily systems, a concept that Aries individuals and conditions often resist, as they thrive on pushing boundaries, relying on adrenaline, and constantly testing their limits.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20):

Taurus natives have a deep appreciation for indulgent and luxurious foods. Known for their love of comfort and pleasure, they savor dishes that are rich, satisfying, and rooted in tradition. Engaging in activities that warm and stimulate the body, while prioritizing detoxification is key for Taurus. While maintaining a whole foods diet is crucial for all zodiac signs, Taurus individuals should pay particular attention to the quality of their food and practice mindful eating. Certain foods rich in this mineral include asparagus, beets, cauliflower, horseradish, spinach, cucumber, onions, pumpkin, raw nuts, and cranberries. It's also advisable to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to aid in flushing out toxins from the system.

Herbal Guardians: To support their love of pleasure and ease digestion, Taurus individuals can turn to herbs like peppermint, fennel, and chamomile. These herbs can help calm the stomach and alleviate stress. We suggest: CONSTELLATIONS WITHIN Tea, and GUT FEELING Happy Belly Elixir, and PALO SANTO Spirit Bitters

Balancing Excess Taurus: Taurus is wise to be cautious not to become ensnared by their own thoughts. Taurus can tend to dig its heels in and a useful remedy to consider is OPTIMISM Daily Dose Drops, or OPTIMISM Magick Matcha to support Taurus's earthy nature while encouraging an open, flowing energy.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

With their curious and adaptable nature, Geminis enjoy a diverse range of foods that stimulate their taste buds and intellect. Quick and light bites like sushi, tapas, and finger foods appeal to their social and spontaneous side. Variety is the spice of life for Gemini, so they're always open to trying new cuisines and flavors. Think simple, flavorful and fierce. Gemini thrives on potassium rich food including asparagus, green beans, tomatoes, celery, carrots, spinach, oranges, peaches, plums, apricots, and wild rice. Incorporating nerve-nourishing foods into their diet is essential for Gemini. Optimal choices include grapefruit, almonds, broiled fish, shellfish, grape juice, apples, and raisins. Additionally, lettuce and cauliflower are wildly beneficial for Gemini. Alongside herbal teas, integrating these foods in four mini-meals throughout the day can contribute to Gemini's overall well-being.

Herbal Guardians: To support their versatile personality and promote overall wellness, Gemini individuals can explore herbs like ginkgo, gotu kola, and lavender. These herbs can help calm the mind and enhance cognitive function. We suggest: SEREIN At Peace Drops, COSMIK WINK Tranquility Elixir, and COSMIK WINK Tea

Balancing Excess Gemini: Herbs that having a relaxing effect on the body, mind and spirit are important for Gemini especially in combination with mediation and mindful practices. Creating regular time and space for self care is a must.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Nurturing and sensitive Cancerians find comfort in home-cooked meals and familiar flavors, and their herbal remedies should offer emotional support. They have a strong connection to their roots and prefer dishes that evoke nostalgia and emotional warmth. Individuals born under the sign of Cancer often experience skin disorders when they lack calcium in their diet. To address this, they should incorporate calcium-rich foods such as raw milk, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes into their meals. Additionally, okra, which is also rich in calcium, can help alleviate stomach inflammations. Fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and lean protein are a daily must for the Cancerian.

Herbal Guardians: To support their emotional well-being and enhance relaxation, Cancer individuals can turn to herbs like lemon balm, chamomile, and lavender. These herbs can help calm the nerves and promote a sense of tranquility. Physic development is important to Cancer, and enhances their innate emotional depth and intelligence. We suggest: AD ASTRA Drift Away Drop and ORPHIC Lucid Dream Elixir, and FEMINISM Daily Dose Drops

Balancing Excess Cancer: Periods of retreat, but not isolation is important to balance a weakened Cancer. Comforting herbs bring a grounding quality that helps stabilize. Try a warm cup of FEMINISM Rose Chai Superbrew 1 hour before bedtime.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

As the kings and queens of the zodiac, Leos have a taste for the finer things in life. They enjoy lavish dining experiences and foods that showcase their regal status. Bold and theatrical dishes like steak tartare, gourmet chocolates, and flambeed desserts appeal to their dramatic flair and extravagant taste. Magnesium phosphate plays a crucial role in forming blood albumin, maintaining blood fluidity, and activating digestive enzymes. For Leos, including foods rich in this essential element in their diet is vital. These foods include whole wheat and rye products, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, figs, lemons, apples, peaches, coconut, rice, seafood, beets, asparagus, and egg yolk. Plums, pears, and oranges are also wonderful choices for Leo.

Herbal Guardians: For Leos embarking on their journey, the radiant Rose stands out as the most fitting plant companion. This splendid and fragrant plant facilitates a harmonious connection between the mind, body, and spirit, while also opening the heart and elevating the senses. Additionally, magickal blends like Golden Milk that harness the power of the sun or lion's mane mushrooms are made for Leos. We suggest MOONSTRUCK Love Potion, ACTIVISM Golden Mylk, and ROAR Lion's Mane Elixir.

Balancing Excess Leo: It's crucial for Leo individuals not to exhaust all their energy in the exuberance of youth but instead learn to moderate their energetic output to sustain vitality throughout their lives. Being a fixed fire sign, Leos possess intense energy, which, if not managed carefully, can easily lead to burnout. Cooling herbs and water therapy counteract Leo's tendency to get carried away.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Virgos embody analytical minds, meticulous attention to detail, and a practical approach to life. Often perceived as perfectionists, they relentlessly pursue excellence in every aspect, a trait that can lead them to worry themselves sick. When faced with adversity, Virgos have a tendency to internalize stress, which may manifest as physical ailments, particularly related to the intestines. For optimal well-being, Virgos benefit from a diet tailored to support their digestive health and nourish their active minds. Embracing fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables fosters digestive regularity. Additionally, integrating probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and kefir promotes a healthy gut microbiome. Key dietary components for Virgos include green leafy vegetables, whole wheat and whole grain breads, wheat germ oil, oats, almonds, cheese, oranges, bananas, lemons, and lean beef. Opting for easily digestible options like cornbread, yogurt, brown rice, eggs, and cottage cheese supports their digestive comfort. Melons, apples, pears, and papaya are particularly beneficial for Virgos, while the inclusion of lemon juice in their diet can alleviate skin issues. In place of sugar, Virgos should utilize honey as a sweetener, and the regular consumption of herbal teas swiftly soothes upset stomachs. Maintaining a consistent eating schedule is crucial for Virgos to support their "belly brain" and avoid digestive disturbances.

Herbal Guardians: Herbs such as chamomile, ginger, and peppermint can help soothe Virgo's digestive system and promote overall well-being.
We suggest our CONSTELLATIONS WITHIN Tea and GUT FEELING Happy Belly Elixir to support healthy digestion and soothe the stomach.

Balancing Excess Virgo: A feeling of well-being is invaluable to Virgo. They can forget to take time to really understand what they are feeling so nootropics are wonderful for them. They can have trouble being flexible, giving way to, letting go, and being gentle to themselves. Cooling herbs such as lavender soothes their nerves, alleviates agitation, and has an overall calming effect on the whole being. We combine calming herbs and nootropics in our SEREIN At Peace Drops for Virgo.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Libras are known for their diplomatic nature, charm, and sense of harmony. They value balance in all aspects of life and strive to maintain peace and fairness in their relationships. Libras are also creative individuals who appreciate beauty and aesthetics.Their diet mirrors this appreciation for balance, thriving on a colorful array of flavors that support overall health and vitality. Fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly antioxidant-rich berries and leafy greens, are staples for Libras, along with omega-3 fatty acid sources like walnuts and flaxseeds. Incorporating strawberries, apples, raisins, almonds, asparagus, peas, corn, carrots, spinach, beets, radishes, tomatoes, wheat, brown rice, and oatmeal into their meals ensures Libras receive essential nutrients. Opting for a high-protein diet low in fat, sugar, and acid-producing foods further optimizes their well-being. Broiled fish, seafood, poultry, low-fat cheeses, yogurt, fresh fruits, vegetables, salad greens, and whole-grain breads form the foundation of their balanced diet, while staying hydrated with plenty of water flushes toxins from their systems.

Herbal Guardians: Libras find resonance in herbs like rose, hibiscus, and lavender, mirroring their love of beauty and harmony. Not only do these herbs offer aromatic enjoyment, but they also provide various health benefits, including stress relief and relaxation. We recommend our HARVEST MOON Tea Blend, featuring rose, hibiscus, and mineral-rich herbs to promote a sense of balance and well-being. For added emotional support, consider our BIRD OF PARADISE Flower Essences to enhance radiant health and flourishing beauty or our LAVENDER Wild Water.

Balancing Excess Libra: When Libras experience overwhelming indecision or struggle to maintain balance, remedies promoting self-awareness and romance are invaluable. During moments of imbalance, our Moonstruck Elixir Tincture, infused with love herbs like damiana and catuaba bark, offers soothing nourishment.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21):

Scorpios embody intensity and passion, characterized by magnetic personalities and unwavering determination. They possess a deep intuition and fierce loyalty, often drawn to uncovering life's mysteries. Scorpios are known for their strong, voluptuous bodies and exceptional recuperative powers, giving rise to the adage that they appear old when young and young when old. To maintain their vitality, Scorpios should include in their diet foods like asparagus, cauliflower, radishes, onions, tomatoes, figs, black cherries, and coconuts. Calcium-rich foods such as yogurt and cottage cheese are essential, alongside a diet high in protein, fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain breads. Particularly beneficial foods for Scorpios include fish, seafood, green salads, beets, lentils, almonds, walnuts, citrus fruits, berries, apples, bananas, and pineapples.

Herbal Guardians: Scorpios benefit from herbs like raw cacao and maca root, renowned for their adaptogenic properties that restore vitality and emotional well-being. For a weakened Scorpio it is important to focus on regenerative energies found in our ENTHUSIASM Daily Dose Drops or ENTHUSIASM Cacal-High Superbrew. 

Balancing Excess Scorpio: During times of emotional intensity, herbs like ashwagandha and rose can help Scorpios find balance and resilience, aiding them in navigating challenges with grace. Stagnation and a lack of warmth often underlie Scorpio health imbalances, necessitating herbs that possess warming qualities. Engaging in regular detoxifying activities, whether physical or emotional, is vital for Scorpios to maintain equilibrium and pursue regenerative energy. Adding a warm cup of Rose Chai provides deep aphrodisiac qualities and profound nourishment to Scorpios reproductive organs. Additionally, rosemary in our Four Thieves Oxymel can provide cleansing and protective properties, aiding Scorpios in maintaining their well-being.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21):

Adventurous Sagittarians crave global flavors, and their herbal allies should support their quest for knowledge and exploration. To support their quest for knowledge and exploration, it's beneficial for them to incorporate a variety of foods into their diet. In addition, Sagittarians must ensure an abundant intake of silica for their well-being, sourced from fruits and vegetables' skins, raw salads, green peppers, figs, strawberries, pears, apples, potatoes, oats, husks of grains, whole-grain cereals, and egg yolks. Embracing a high-protein diet rich in broiled poultry and fish, alongside ample fresh vegetables, and fruits such as beets, tomatoes, plums, cherries, oranges, lemons, as well as yogurt, brown rice, and whole wheat is highly recommended. They should drink lots of pure water, eat four mini-meals a day rather than three large ones.

Herbal Remedies: To further support their adventurous spirit, mental acuity, and overall vitality, Sagittarius individuals can turn to herbs like holy basil, and Chaga. These herbs are renowned for their ability to boost energy levels, atune the mind, and enhance endurance. Additionally, Sagittarians' cell salt is silica, which plays a crucial role in strengthening the nervous system and maintaining healthy connective tissue. Harvest Moon tea, with its mineral-rich profile, can be a beneficial addition to their herbal regimen.

Balancing Excess Sagittarius: Being a mutable fire sign, heat can get trapped in their bodies and they can become dried out, overstimulated and irritated—physically and mentally. In order to balance excesses and maintain optimal health, Sagittarians can incorporate inflammation-regulating and moistening herbs into their routine. Supporting liver health through nourishing and rejuvenating herbs is also important. Practicing moderation in regards to less beneficial foods, activities, and substances is key. 

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Capricorns are naturally drawn to hearty and nourishing foods, seeking sustenance that resonates with their goals and ambitions. However, an excess of earth energy can induce bodily heaviness and sluggishness, often manifesting as slow digestion and metabolism, which can contribute to increased body tissue density. Food rich in calcium phosphate are essential for Capricorns such as oranges, lemons, figs, celery, cabbage, dandelion greens, spinach, broccoli, corn, peas, potatoes, walnuts, almonds, whole wheat, oats, and brown rice. A diet abundant in protein and calcium is crucial for Capricorn's bone, skin, and dental health. To achieve this, Capricorns should integrate fresh raw salads, fruits, vegetables, lean protein, fish, eggs, and whole-grain breads into their daily meals, making yogurt—a calcium-rich staple—a regular component. To avoid falling into dietary ruts, Capricorns should broaden their food choices since they tend to develop set preferences and may stick to familiar foods. It's wise for Capricorns to exercise caution when it comes to highly seasoned dishes, as these can sometimes trigger digestive discomfort.

Herbal Guardians: Capricorn individuals can benefit from herbs like licorice, milky oats, and lemon balm to soften their disciplined nature and relieve stress. Digestive tonics such as fire cider or bitters, along with nutritive herbs like Plantain, Horsetail, and Mullein help them maintain optimal health.

Balancing Excess Capricorn: To address challenges such as slow metabolism, constriction, and lack of moisture, Capricorns can turn to invigorating herbs like cayenne and ginger. These herbs stimulate circulation and energize a cold constitution. Capricorns often struggle with over-control, leading to restriction of movement and stagnation. ACTIVISM Superbrew or ACTIVISM Daily Dose Drops offer Capricorns the opportunity to transition from stagnation to vibrancy, promoting movement and vitality.

Remember to listen to your body and nourish yourself with foods that make you feel happy, healthy, and connected to the Universe. The next time you're planning a meal, why not consult the stars and see what cosmic delights await you? Bon appétit!
