Festive food is all about beauty, bounty, and the array of different dishes and personalities. Happy Thanksgiving, and let the stars serve your dish!
Aries (March 21 - April 19): Green bean casserole
When you're good, you're grand, bright, and have a crunchy bite to your humor and your beans. But when you've had a bad day, not even an extra helping of gravy can make you palatable. You'll drag yourself about and moan about every little thing that's damped your mood, like soggy fried onions and too much cream.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Mashed potatoes
You don’t always say a lot at the dinner table, but it wouldn’t be a
party without you and your sunny, always yummy disposition. Taurus, you're steadfast and simple, like the humble but brilliant mashed potato. You know how to make the young, old, tired, and crabby smile, especially when you're in a good mood and smartly salty.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Corn bread
You come in many styles, yellow or white, sweet or savory, cakey or crumbly. You're a great zodiac sign to have at the Thanksgiving table, aiming to please and talk to everyone, but this trait can make you seem flimsy and unwilling to take sides in the traditional squabbling among family or friends.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Pecan Pie
Hard on the outside, but once someone manages to get through, all you do is ooze goodness and feelings. Don't add any extra sweetness, to your pie or compliments, as you can be a bit much, especially served with other desserts.
Leo (July 23 - August 22): Stuffing
You know, Thanksgiving isn't about the bird. It's all about you, the stuffing. That's where all the butter and savory goodness lives. You're a star and you know it! Socially, you're almost always friendly and give everyone that warm feeling in their tummy. But if your worst mood strikes, you can be impulsive. When you don't reign yourself – or your cooking – in, you get a bit too flavorful over the top and over done. Try keeping it simple, Leo, you're best when you leave the drama to your dress.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Winter salad
You, Virgo, like winter salads, are about all details and brightness. Some pass you by because they assume a salad is too fussy or healthy for a feast. They think you're preachy or critical. Brush it off. You know it's their loss, and real beauty is in simple things. They just don't get the delight of the perfect winter salad bite with beautiful leaves, pomegranate seeds, perhaps candied nuts, or bits of cheese.
Libra (September 23 - October 22): Sweet potato casserole with marshmallows
Harmony is your jam: sweet, orange yam casserole with golden marshmallows on top. Even though you strive for balance, Libra, you're indecisive and somewhere between a side dish and a dessert. But as a dish you've got a kind of sweet, sometimes spiced, gooey poetry all your own.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Braised Brussels sprouts
You're a thanksgiving classic, but you're still an acquired taste. Not everybody loves you, as you my dear Scorpio can be a bit bold. But those who dare to give you a whirl, rave about your pungent passion, your wonderful layers, and your ability to be brilliant even when you’re a bit burnt around the edges.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Mac and cheese
You’re one sly side dish, that's basically a main. You don’t always look like much, but your glory is just hidden under your somewhat crunchy topping and humor. Sometimes you worry that your social presence is too much, too much cheese, salt, fatty bread crumbs, and storytelling to handle. Don't worry about stealing the show, people, love you and never want you to run out.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Dinner rolls
When you’ve been given time to rise, you shine. But done in a jiffy, you can be a bit dense or painfully dry. Hopefully your people will help mellow your temper at the friend or family gathering with a good slathering of spread gravy or butter.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Cranberry sauce
Sweet, tart, bitter, you water sign you are all thing tings. This year for Thanksgiving, maybe you’ll even add a little ginger. You can come in a mold or a can, you can be snappy or a nice sweet addition to the meat of the meal. As a guest, you add a bit of sweet smack snap and excitement with your thought-provoking tangy contributions to the conversation.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Glazed or roasted carrots
You want everyone to feel at home. But you won't let that urge stop you from being a kitchen witch. Besides, if you're on a creative kick, you're sure to be a showstopper. Maybe this year you'll be more of a spicy addition to the table, throwing out unsolicited advice and conversation topics. Or maybe you’re trending sweeter than candy and the perfect addition to a genuine and heartfelt discussion. Remember to play nice, Pisces!
