As an astronomy major, I am always asked questions about horoscopes and their accuracy. Since the beginning of mankind, we have looked to the stars to guide our daily lives. So now I wonder, why not use it with food? The next time you drive by a donut place, let your horoscope tell you what you should be getting.
Aries (March 21st-April 20th) – Maple Bacon Donut

Aries are known to be adventurous, pioneering, and courageous. They need a donut just as daring as they are, like a Bacon Maple Donut. The sweetness from the maple contrasts with the salty slab of bacon. I hear that bacon makes everything taste better…Anyone brave enough to test this or any of these crazy donuts?
Taurus (April 21st-May 21st) – Pumpkin Donut

Because it is only offered seasonally, one has to be patient, like a Taurus. However, this pumpkin-glazed donut is definitely worth the wait, making every fall a greatly anticipated season. Check out an easy-to-make Spoon recipe here.
Gemini (May 22nd-June 21st) – An Assortment of Donut Holes

Known for their versatility, Geminis can’t be expected to choose just one donut. A Gemini should opt for an assortment of different flavors of donut holes – powdered, chocolate glazed, jelly filled. The combinations of mini donuts are endless.
Cancer (June 22nd-July 22nd) – Glazed Donut

A cautious Cancer probably isn’t craving the Bacon-Maple Donut. Instead, a more desirable option might be a simple, glazed donut. With no kooky flavors, a little sweet glaze enhances the donuts’ light fluffiness that we all know and love.
Leo (June 23rd-August 21st) – Cereal-topped Donuts

What better way to satisfy a Leo’s creative palate than with a cereal-topped Donut? Upgrade your breakfast with an endless number of cereal-donut combinations can be conceived, like Lucky Charms on a glazed donut or Coco Puffs topping a chocolate donut.
Virgo (August 22nd-September 23rd) – A Bagel

A Virgo doesn’t have to debate which frou-frou donut to eat. Instead, a bagel is a much more practical choice to satisfy one’s hunger. At least it’s shaped like a donut? Check out what kind of bagel you should get here.
Libra (September 23rd-October 24th) – Powdered Donut

Known for balance, a Libra should choose the only donut manages to perfectly balance the powdered sugar-to-donut ratio. Plus, any person as easygoing and charming as a Libra can get away with a little powdered sugar on their face.
Scorpio (October 24th – November 22nd) – Jelly-Filled Donut

Secretive on the outside, but passionate and powerful on the inside, the unsuspecting jelly-filled donut really packs a punch of flavor when bitten. Just like a Scorpio, don’t be fooled by this donut’s quiet exterior. Feeling a little crazy? Check out this jelly donut wannabe recipe.

I might be slightly biased towards this one, but an optimistic and good-humored Sagittarius deserves a crowd-pleasing donut that puts everyone into a good mood. The only one flavor worthy of this title, a chocolate donut is God’s gift to Earth.
Capricorn (December 23rd-January 20th) – an Apple

A wise Capricorn cares about their future. In lieu of fat and sugar, they opt for an apple. Not an apple donut. Not an apple fritter. Just an apple.
Aquarius (January 21st-February 19th) – Custard-filled Donut

Nothing screams wholesome like a nice custard-filled donut. Honest and loyal, just like an Aquarius, you know what to expect from this donut. And it is always a pleasant experience. Go a little crazy and try a Nutella-stuffed donut instead!
Pisces (February 20th-March 20th) – Old-Fashioned Donut

Selfless and kind, a Pisces would never eat the last donut. Instead, they’ll eat the only donut left – an old-fashioned donut.
