Astrologer Hazel Dixon-Cooper told The Daily Meal, «By knowing your zodiac sign, you can better understand your instinctive reactions to eating and dieting, as well as any health issues that may arise.» Find out what your zodiac sign says about your eating habits.

Aries: March 21 – April 19

This fire sign likes to cook a lot and it is spicy. Aries like to add chiles or sirracha sauce to their recipes. Because they are always on the go, they don’t have time to prepare large meals. Quick meals like fajitas or a pot of Asian soup are their specialty. Bad habits? They eat very fast because they don’t like to waste time

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

The bull is the gourmet of the zodiac. Only a well-prepared meal can satisfy a Taurus. Dieting is torture for them, while cooking for others is something they really enjoy. Home-cooked, home-style food is what this zodiac sign will normally gravitate to. They will enjoy some enchiladas with the best ingredients from Mexico or a plate of macaroni and four cheeses made from scratch.

Gemini: May 21 – June 20

Although this creative sign does not enjoy eating as much as Taurus, Geminis do like to cook. A Gemini’s kitchen is a place where their creativity can flourish. Their natural curiosity means dinner parties will include dishes that combine ingredients from all over the world. Imagine some kimchi pancakes for brunch. Bad habits? Not being able to stick to an eating routine.

Cancer: June 21-July 22

Cancers are good competition for Grandma’s kitchen. They are famous for their cooking skills and recipes that were passed down to them through generations. They are inclined to buy high-quality organic food and no one can turn down an invitation to dinner at their homes. But Cancers are loyal to their favorite foods so, if spaghetti, meatballs, or menudo is your thing, you’re going to eat a lot of that. Bad habits? They can’t control their appetites.

Leo: July 23 – August 22

Although Leos like to eat at five-star restaurants, they don’t really like to cook. They love having company at the table. They will take on the challenge of making great family dinners to make their loved ones happy. Expect a dinner of homemade pizzas with rich toppings like pepperoni and sausage, or juicy grilled burgers. Bad habits? They don’t add enough fruits and vegetables to their diet.

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

Although they are very strict about their eating habits and are often on a diet, Virgos indulge the people they cook for. If you’re lucky enough to live with a Virgo chef, expect magical gourmet meals when he or she has the energy. Their detail-oriented nature allows them to effortlessly prepare homemade dishes and instant homemade sushi. Bad habits? They think too much about food.

Libra: September 23 – October 22

These social butterflies love to prepare elaborate feasts for their friends and family but will only eat small portions themselves. Libras are lovers of beauty. They tend to be too concerned with the atmosphere in order to really enjoy their food. Sometimes they pay more attention to the appearance of the food rather than the flavors of the dish. Expect organic vegetables and fresh salmon with a little dill sauce and a vegetarian pasta. Bad habits? They have a sweet tooth.

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

Dixon Cooper says that Scorpios can be adventurous eaters, but they’re also easily frustrated by recipes that don’t meet their expectations. In the kitchen, they are generous with spices and lean toward high-calorie home-cooked meals. Although they do not care much about cooking, they are excellent cooks due to their ability to focus on a task. A zucchini and mushroom lasagna, or a rabbit risotto are their allies. Bad habits? Alcohol and junk food.

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

Sagittarians are fun and charismatic and love to serve a buffet dinner for 20 of their closest friends. Since they love to personally put together everything a Las Vegas buffet has to offer, they believe that their dinner parties should be no different. Expect homemade hummus, pigs in a blanket, vegetable dishes, breads, chicken strips and salmon rolls. And those are just the appetizers. Bad habits? They tend to overindulge.

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

Capricorns are known to be serious, traditional and organized… they actually go crazy for food and cooking. The Daily Meal says that Capricorns often plan meals ahead of time and keep recipes in specific folders. Even though they don’t like their food to be extremely spicy, they sometimes tend to go overboard with the salt. You’ll love their shrimp, Linguini Fra Diavolo, and their lamb casserole. Bad habits? They don’t relax enough at meals.

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

People born under this zodiac sign are often vegetarian and prefer to eat low calorie foods. Your dinner will likely include a feast of grilled vegetables, rice, and fresh fruit, rather than protein-rich foods. Following recipes step by step is not their thing. Aquarians will make changes according to their imagination. One never gets bored at an Aquarian’s table. Bad habits? They eat very late and drink a lot of coffee.

Pisces: February 19 to March 20

Since Pisces sees food as a social experience, they will happily accommodate the dietary preferences of others. What do you want? Lasagna? Teriyaki? They prepare it for you with all their creativity and love. Their passionate approach to food also includes a love of alcohol, so be sure to bring an extra bottle of wine with your dinner. It will go fast. Bad habits? They don’t drink enough water.
