Which Takeout You Should Order, According to Your Zodiac Sign

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UVA chapter.

There’s something so powerfully adult about making a takeout order, sinking into the couch, and relaxing for a night of Netflix after a long day at work. The problem is that with so many food delivery services out there, it can be hard to decide just what to snack on when you’re on your sixth episode of “Friends” or halfway through a Netflix original movie. 

I’ve taken the stress of making a decision out of the equation for you. Your zodiac sign says a lot about your personality, so let it guide you to the perfect takeout order for tonight. 

Aries (Mar 21- Apr 19): Chicken Wings

We all know that you’re an avid sports fan, Aries. You like to live a fast-paced lifestyle and soak up competition. That’s why wings are the perfect takeout for you to order while you’re probably cheering for your favorite team in the big game of the weekend. 

Taurus (Apr 20- May 20): Meal Delivery Kit

Well known for being the chef of their friend group, it’s hard to convince a Taurus to order takeout. That’s why a meal kit delivery is the perfect compromise for you. You like to cook to see the fruits of your own labor, but this way you don’t even have to leave the house to pick up groceries. 

Gemini (May 21- June 20): Pizza

Gemini are always looking for an excuse to chat with friends. You hate being alone and that’s why pizza is the perfect thing for you to order on a Friday night. Once you’ve called in a pie or two, your friends will definitely want to stick around for a fun night in. 

Cancer (June 21- July 22): Poké

As one of the water elements, Cancer’s dream day is one of relaxation by the water. Once the sun sets and the beach is no longer an option, you can bring that feeling right on in to your couch by ordering Poké while you watch the newest “Baywatch.” 

Leo (July 23- Aug 22): Mexican

Leos are natural born leaders, which is why the takeout order job is left up to them. Your presence is also a magnet for your friends, so you’re going to have to order for a crowd. Since you tend to have a special love for spice because you’re a fire element, try Mexican for dinner. 

Virgo (Aug 23- Sep 22): Chinese

Virgo, you’re joked by your friends for being all work and no play, but at the end of the day, you still love coming home late from your job. By that time, you’re just looking for the most practical option. That’s why you should order Chinese, the most widespread takeout option.  

Libra (Sep 23- Oct 22): Milk and Cookies

It’s hard to convince a Libra to stay indoors during the day, so you very rarely end up ordering takeout. You want to take advantage of the sunlight by spending time with friends eating out. When the sun sets and you’re forced back inside, milk and cookies are the perfect midnight snack option to order. 

Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov 21): Italian

Because Scorpios are known for being the leader and head decision maker in the group, you’re often the one with a phone in your hand, ordering takeout when everyone starts to get hangry. You’re well aware of all the high quality takeout options out there, which is why you should order pasta from that fancy Italian place down the street. 

Sagittarius (Nov 22- Dec 21): Breakfast

Your nonstop energy and curiosity mean that you’re often up and going well before the rest of the world, Sagittarius. When everyone else is still passed out from the night before, order some breakfast takeout because you deserve it and your friends will love you, even more than they already do. 

Capricorn (Dec 22- Jan 19): Salad

Capricorn, you’re a true master of self-control. The rest of the world applauds you for it and looks on enviously. Keep it up by ordering a build-your-own salad, maybe with a side of soup or a baguette. 

Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18): Greek

As a highly intellectual being, Aquarius, you like food that makes you think. You like to taste a little bit of everything, which is why greek takeout is the best for you. You can mix and match hummus, tzatziki, gyro, dolmas, kebabs, or falafel. The possibilities are nearly endless. 

Pisces (Feb 19- Mar 20): Sushi

Water rules your world, Pisces. You’re also known for being the friendliest person in every room, which is why easy-to-share food is always your go-to. Try ordering some sushi, with an extra pair of chopsticks or two for whoever decides to stop by for the night. 

The rise of food delivery services has made the takeout world a bit of a maze to navigate every time you’re feeling too lazy to cook or even go out to eat. I’m not one to judge, because I’m a firm believer that everyone should eat dinner on the couch in their pajamas at least once a week. Hopefully this helps you narrow down your options a bit because Netflix awaits
