What Thanksgiving Food You Are Based on Your Zodiac Sign

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FSU chapter.

Aries: Dinner Rolls

Let’s be real, Aries are all about being simple and straightforward. Everything they do is for success, whether that’s success in school or at the workplace. When it comes to Thanksgiving, Aries, you are definitely the beloved warm crispy dinner rolls. Thanksgiving wouldn’t be a success without your simple, flaky goodness.

 

Taurus: Mashed Potatoes

Taurus are known for their sense of order, stability and security. They stray away from chaos and are more than happy to go through life at their own pace. They are sensible, but not afraid to drift into their own world. Mashed potatoes are a traditional and stable choice for all Thanksgiving feasts. The potatoes take time to boil and soften, similar to the process of getting to know a Taurus—it may take a little time, but the outcome is always worth it.

 

Gemini: Sweet Potato Casserole

The “twins” of the Zodiac family are known for showing off two different sides of themselves. You never really know what you’re going to get when it comes to Geminis because their responses and personalities are so versatile. Sweet potato casseroles also embrace a duality of taste. They are both savory and sweet, just like Geminis. These two worlds collide creating one yummy side.

 

Cancer: Apple Pie

Cancers are filled with love when they think of family. It is essential for them to create a homey feeling wherever they go. They need a safe place to let themselves feel their full emotions and be their natural, sensitive selves. Apple pie is as warm and homey as it gets when it comes to Thanksgiving favorites.

 

Leo: Turkey

The bold. The bright. The brilliant. Leo’s never fail to shine anywhere they go. They gather attention and wear it well. Leo’s couldn’t possibly be anything but the turkey. A golden, warm turkey is just like a Leo—the whole party won’t be able to take their eyes off of it. 

 

Virgo: Cranberry Sauce

This Zodiac sign tends to be a little more on the reserved side. But once you get to know them, you realize how intellectual they really are. They stay modest, never really showing off how smart they are, simply wanting everyone else to be their best. Hands down, Virgos are the cranberry sauce. This is a Thanksgiving staple that always sits quietly next to the main dish. Once you pour a little bit of it on your turkey, you realize how much better it is. Leave it to Virgo to improve their surroundings in a sneaky way.

 

Libra: Green Bean Casserole

If you’re having a day where you need a little love and affection, find yourself a Libra. They are super sympathetic, generous and caring. To put it simply, Libras just love to love. If they had to be a Thanksgiving food, they would definitely be a green bean casserole. Like most casseroles, a green bean casserole is made to share – and if you don’t find casseroles loving, I don’t know what else to tell you.

 

Scorpio: Pecan Pie

Scorpios are intense, passionate and magnetic people. They set very few boundaries when it comes to being generous and helpful. Party-goers will be drawn to this sweet pie, thanks to its intense, nutty flavor. A Scorpio will surely take the lead and pass around a few slices for everyone to share.

 

Sagittarius: Fine Wine or a Cold Corona

The wanderers of the zodiac signs, Sagittarius move around a lot, spreading good vibes everywhere they go. Not only will they find an adventure in any setting, they also love to take risks. It only makes sense that Sagittarius is the alcohol served alongside Thanksgiving dinner. Drinks at dinner add energy and bring a party to life, just like our charming Sagittarius.

 

Capricorn: The Salad

Capricorns are practical, straightforward and patient. They are good at keeping their calm in times of emergency. Naturally cautious but with the right amount of confidence, they can be extremely expressive and show off their great personality. This sets up the Capricorn as the salad. Simple salads are practical and mild, but in the best way possible. They are a loyal Thanksgiving staple that always prove to be pleasant.

 

Aquarius: Macaroni and Cheese

This sign is known for its frequent changes in personality. They are independent thinkers and super friendly by nature. One moment they’re very to themselves, and the next they’re talkative and engaged in conversation—with seemingly no reason. Macaroni and Cheese is the perfect match for this Zodiac sign. Whether it’s eaten as a Thanksgiving side dish or a stand-alone meal, its presence is always a good addition.

 

Pisces: Pumpkin Pie

Pisces seem to have the biggest heart of the Zodiac family. They are sensitive, loving and selfless. They are known to offer help to those around them in the blink of an eye. The soft texture of this pie is just like the soft, sensitive side of a Pisces. Almost as sweet, pumpkin pie creates a lot of love as family and friends gather around for dessert. Some will even pass up a slice for a loved one—now that’s selfless.
