Your Sign & Food Choices
So I have this recipe book for sun signs and it lists foods associated with the signs. The book is called
"A Taste of Astrology" by Lucy Ash. I was curious how closely you match it. (I include personal notes in [] when i can.) I also hear your 6th house rules food and mine is Taurus. Explains why dieting is hard. :p
Aries- chilis, cayenne, ginger, pepper, mustard. garlic, leeks, radishes, blackberries, lamb, chicken, shark, onions,
[Seems like a lot of spicy food here. In my life I've found it is the Saggos & scorps who like the spicy cuisine.]
Taurus- apples, beans, bread, cherries, chickpeas, grapes, lentils, peaches, pears, coriander, mint, nutmeg, thyme, all root veggies, wheat, butter, cream, beef, chicken, lamb, scallops.
[I have 6th house )o and i love food!]
Gemini- fish, rabbit, poussin (WTF is this?), apricots, capers, carrots, coffee, fennel, artichokes, hazelnuts, lemons, mushrooms, aniseseed, dill, licorice, marjoram, parsley. [Many of my Gem friends like buffets when we eat out or potlucks.]
Cancer- crab, duck , pork, venison, cabbage, cucumber, all dairy products, eggplant, lettuce, lychees, melon, pine nuts, pomegranate, pumpkin, turnips, water chestnut, watercress, zuchinni, cloves, poppyseed, sage, thyme.

Leo- caviar, cockerel (what is that?), eggs, lamb, apples, dandelion, honey, nuts, citrus fruits, sunflower seeds, tomatoes, all vine plants, angelica, bay leaves, cinnamon, ginger, rosemary, saffron
Virgo- beef, birds, fish, carrots, cereal grains, citrus fruit, cucumber, fennel, mulberries, mushroom, parsnips, dill, caraway, lavender, parsley, semolina/pasta, artichokes, chichory. endive, breads
[my virgo friends fall into 2 categories: health nut or junk food-aholic. It is so extreme. Either way they like purity in their foods. And i know fish is listed as part if their diet but most of my Virgo friends *HATE* fish. I know of only one Virgo who likes fish. Also of my friends they are the least likely to like spicy food. They are sensitive to taste. ]
Libra- birds, fish, lamb, shellfish, almonds, apples, avocadoes, bananas, beans, all berries, chocolate, figs, grapes, all legumes, peaches, pears, plums, roses, sugar, cinnamon, coriander, marshmallow, mint, sorrel, violets, watercress, wheat, beets, carrots, peas, corn.

a + for the ones I love, a - for the ones I hate. (and ? for the things I haven't tried yet)
Ascendant in Taurus
apples +, beans +, bread ++, cherries +, chickpeas ++, grapes +, lentils +, peaches +, pears +, coriander +, mint +, nutmeg +, thyme ++, all root veggies +, wheat ++, butter +, cream ++, beef -, chicken ++, lamb +, scallops ++.
Moon in Cancer (in the 4th house)
crab ?, duck ++ , pork -, venison ?, cabbage -, cucumber +, all dairy products ++++, eggplant ++, lettuce +, lychees -, melon ---, pine nuts +, pomegranate +++, pumpkin -, turnips -, water chestnut ?, watercress -, zuchinni --, cloves -, poppyseed +++, sage +, thyme ++. [Most of my cancer friends can't be away from milk or cheese for any length of time even when they suffer from allergies.] me too !!
Venus and Mars in Virgo on the 6th house cusp
beef -, birds -, fish +, carrots +++, cereal grains +++, citrus fruit ++, cucumber +, fennel +++, mulberries +, mushroom -, parsnips -, dill +, caraway ?, lavender ?, parsley ++, semolina/pasta +++, artichokes +++, chichory -, endive -, breads ++
Sun in Scorpio
asparagus -, bananas +++, blackberries +++, cacti ?, garlic +++, leeks +++, nettles ++, peppers +, pine nuts +, rhubarb +++, all root veggies +, basil +, cayenne -, ginseng +++, horseradish -, mustard (haha I eat that shit by the bucketloads), pepper+, gooseberries ?, fish +, organ meats like livers -, reptiles ?, shellfish +++, prunes +, watercress -, oysters ?.
seems like my preferences are more to the extent of my ascendant than my 6th house.
to me personally: bread, any and all dairy products ! (yoghurt and cheese and milk), italian stuff like pasta and risotto, spicy indian dishes with chicken, mexican spicy tortilla's/burrito's/enchilada's ... and avocado's, peanut butter, ice cream, vanilla, cinnamon, strawberries, raspberries, apricots, almonds, coconut, pineapple, ...
and ANYTHING and EVERYTHING with aniseed !!
from aniseed sweets to flavored sugar cubes, to licorice, to booze (ouzo, pastis, SAMBUCA, raki...) ...

I love aniseed too. People usually hate it or love it. I've made cookies with it and I've also take shish kebab meats a veggies and basted with a splash of sumbuca before grilling. Very subtle flavour.

Won't eat duck or venison. Tried but not for me. Everything else is good to go! As for my Virgo and spicy: hotter the better. We went to a rib fest in town back in May; he ate the hottest sauce there and survived to talk about it! He won't eat a meal without halapenjos on the side!

yeah i don't know why venison was listed as a cancer food. I think of it more like Sag or some other fire sign food.

Dionna did you also notice that everything for Cancer is very simple food. There is nothing there that someone could not prepare themselves.

Yes, way too simple (and healthy--grow up with 2 parents from Georgia and see how healthy you eat). I'm a comfort food girl myself. That list is too vegetarian for me. Yeah and that milk and cheese thing is very accurate. I went on a cleansing diet a couple of times with no dairy for a week. Nearly went crazy! I couldn't wait to drink milk and get my cheese fix again!!

Venison is quite good if it is prepared correctly. My family members are big game hunters so we have an entire freezer full of various meats. I find it quite good as a stew or as a jerky. I have been wanting to get some to wrap with a spinach mix and make into pinwheels but no deer meat last year. Sad day. (Rabbit is another interesting meat, a person would actually die if they tried to live off of rabbit meat alone. All protein and no fat).
