Which Thanksgiving dish are you based on your zodiac sign?

Thanksgiving is almost upon us, which means so are the many food comas that are sure to follow. Despite what you plan on chowing down, here are the classic Thanksgiving foods that are most compatible with your horoscope:

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Apple Pie

People whose sign is Aquarius are known for being highly intellectual, creative and imaginative, just like the apple pie, a part of the Thanksgiving feast. There are many different ways it can be baked, decorated and served. An Aquarius is able to see a world of possibilities, just like the way an apple pie is made.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are the perfect food to describe Pisces. With their easy-going and comfortable personality, it only makes sense that mashed potatoes be the most compatible food to a Pisces. This sign's presence is strong and they are vibrant in any cause they put their hearts into, just like mashed potatoes that are mixed with other foods.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Turkey

People who are born an Aries are typically independent, ambitious and the center of attention, just like the Thanksgiving turkey. The turkey is no side dish and must be the best of the best regarding taste and presentation. If there’s any food more perfect to describe an Aries, it’s the turkey.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Dinner Rolls

A Taurus is known for being trustworthy, valuing honesty above all else and being proud of their personal relationships that tend to be drama-free. They’re not the center of attention, but everyone can trust that the dinner rolls are one of the best parts of the meal. Like Taurus, the dinner rolls at the Thanksgiving table are always reliable and enjoyable for all, vegetarians and carnivores alike.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Sweet Potato Casserole

Geminis are usually the life of the party without even trying. They are amazing at showcasing their surface traits, just like sweet potato casserole. A sweet potato casserole, like a Gemini, can be the best of both worlds by being a side dish or a dessert, depending on what one decides to add to it, like adding marshmallow topping. 

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Cranberry Sauce

A person whose sign is Cancer may seem prickly and standoffish at first meeting, but once they get to know someone, those walls fall. Cranberry sauce is the perfect Thanksgiving food to describe Cancer because cranberry sauce can taste a bit tangy, but is still undeniably sweet. With the right pairing, all of Cancer’s greatest traits come out, just like a great cranberry sauce.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is easily the obligatory dessert of Thanksgiving, especially if it’s presented nicely and tastes amazing. For a Leo to be respected and admired, they need to put in the effort worthy of a leader. Like a Leo, a pumpkin pie’s outward appearance matters and will be praised by whoever decides to indulge with a slice for a job well done.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Gravy

Virgos expect perfection from themselves, so it’s no surprise they’re most compatible with gravy. The difference between a good gravy and a great gravy is building layers of flavor, which requires big picture thinking — something Virgos are great at. Gravy goes great with many foods and gets the job done.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stuffing

Stuffing is the side dish at the Thanksgiving table that is always willing to put other foods before itself. As the master of compromise and diplomacy, Libra is adept at seeing all points of view, and excels at crafting compromises. Stuffing is made up of all different foods, taking that bigger-picture approach like a Libra would, making it taste the best it can be.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Green Bean Casserole

Scorpios make a statement wherever they go and are capable of taking something rather bland and turning it into something exciting and interesting. Green beans on their own might not seem like much, but cooked in a casserole and combined with other yummy ingredients is a whole new world of flavor. Scorpios are resourceful and abundant, making green bean casserole their perfect compatible food.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Scalloped Potatoes

A Sagittarius is known for being independent, adventurous and strong-willed. They are able to try new things and break down barriers, just like scalloped potatoes. Scalloped potatoes break the norm of just having mashed potatoes at the dinner table. It’s a creative and fresh take on a food everyone loves.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Cornbread

Capricorns are natural rule followers. They thrive on order, strict rules and set ways to do things. Cornbread is a Thanksgiving food that couldn’t be more plain and simple. One doesn’t stray too far away from the recipe, because cornbread has a recognizable taste everyone knows and loves. Though it is not the star of the entire meal, it still has its shining moment.
