CAPRICORN
SENSIBLE IS BEST
The majority of Capricorns realise early on that it's wise for them to eat well. They have learnt from health upsets in the past how important their well being is. Lovers of fresh foods, many a Capricorn's garden is filled with herbs and vegies, organically grown to provide them with inner fortitude to face the world. They are great hosts and fabulous cooks.
They operate and feel best when they avoid sugar, alcohol and ice-cream.
AQUARIUS
CREATURE OF HABIT
It's not unusual for Aquarians to eat exactly the same breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. They don't enjoy surprises, particularly when it comes to
food. They are not into cooking for pleasure, but will cook something to eat. They are content eating snacks such as biscuits and cheese with a glass of wine. This is enough to tide them over until they have a real meal- an evening out or a meal prepared by someone else.
PISCES
SWEET TREATS
Sweet dreams hold a special meaning for Pisceans. For them, it means going
to bed loaded with chocolate and biscuits. Many have a love/hate affair
with food. They love to eat but hate putting on weight. Many eat to ease
troubled minds. That's why so many are constantly going on a diet, then off
again. When Pisces puts on lots of weight and keeps it on, it's an indication they are protecting themselves.
ARIES
THE MUNCHER
Aries often look forward to meals with anticipation, but generally don't like preparing food. These munchers love to crunch on foods with texture,
rather than smooth foods. They enjoy having a full tummy. It's surprising
we don't see more "heavy" people born under Aries - being such an active
sign, they burn their weight off with mental and physical activity. Feed them quickly as they become irritable when hungry.
TAURUS
THE SELF-INDULGER
Willpower is hard for Taureans to summon up when they diet. Many a
Taurean's life revolves around what the next meal will be. At health clubs and gyms, you will see them working overtime to lose a few kilos,only to indulge in a chocolate sundae after their workout. They are excellent cooks (particularly desserts). There are more professional chefs and authors of cook books from this sign than any other.
GEMINI
ALL OR NOTHING
Geminis often need to carefully plan their diet and watch their eating
habits, because these areas of their life can spin out of control. They
often eat on the run, have strange food desires, unusual snacks or many drinks (such as coffee) during the day. Overeating (or drinking and smoking) can become Gemini's outlet for nervous energy. Equally, Geminis rate high on the statistical list of anorexics.
CANCER
THE MOOD EATER
Food means a lot to Cancer, because it has a lot to do with feeling
loved and comfortable. As Cancer is the sign which rules the tummy, everything they eat has a profound impact on them. Eating excessively can be their outlet for emotional turmoil, especially if they have been through an
upset such as marriage break-up or a job disappointment, or > have financial
difficulties. Many suffer from bulimia.
LEO
FEAST OR FAMINE
Leos are hearty eaters, but they also like to have fine food - quality means more than quantity. They like to make their meals a special occasion.
What makes a meal memorable for them is the presentation, the company,
the wine and the location. If Leos cook, they have a great sense of style and
presentation about it. Dinner parties at their homes can turn into a performance, which is talked about for a long time after.
VIRGO
SIMPLE'S BEST
Virgos are fussy eaters. They prefer to avoid the unknown and like to stick
with foods and spices they know well. The more basic, healthy and simple
their diet is, the better they feel towards it. They feel guilty (or even suffer from nausea) if they eat fatty foods or desserts. Simplicity is
their idea of dining perfection. More vegetarians and health food fanatics
are born under this sign than any other.
LIBRA
PLEASURE SEEKER
As Librans are under the sign of the trend-marker, they are often into food
styles that are different or up-to-the-minute. Good cooks, they show their
originality and style by serving sophisticated dishes. They can be veritable health-food gourmets (baking their own breads etc). The same applies to what they drink - it will be juices and herb teas (if their inkling is towards health foods) or the best wines and French champagne.
SCORPIO
POWER EATER
As the sign of passion, intensity and desire, when Scorpios get into food,
they really get into it and overeat. The same attitude applies to a diet - if they decide to diet, they do it well. This sign can have a desirous nature all of its own - which no other sign can beat. They can be obsessive about food preferences. If inviting a Scorpio for dinner, it's wise to inquire in advance what they do or do not like to eat.
SAGITTARIUS
SECOND-HELPING QUEEN
When Sagittarians get hungry, they get super-hungry. Most are born loving
food and the total dining experience. They love the whole thing of sitting
around a table with a drink in one hand, a fork full of food in the other,
telling tales of their conquests or the things that have occurred during the day. Dieting for Sagittarians can be hard. Removing them from food fun can be like taking a duck away from water.
