It may be said that Girl Scout Cookie season is even more sacred than the December holiday season. For six to eight weeks, little girls use the convincing power of delicious cookies to earn some serious dough and learn entrepreneurship. Street corners and grocery store parking lots across America are filled with Girl Scouts who don’t need to beg too hard to get us to whip out our wallets.
But which Girl Scout cookie should you buy? Luckily, the answer to this age-old dilemma is written in the stars. And since astrology is science and science is #legit, you don’t have to feel guilty for splurging on a box of cookies even when it’s not a cheat day.

Just like Pisces, who are known to keep a pretty low profile compared to other signs, Do-si-dos are low-key amazing. They may not be as well-known as the others, but they are hella delicious. Also low-key amazing? This recipe for peanut butter freezer fudge.
Aries (March 21st-April 19th): Toffee-Tastic

Cancers are traditionalists. Therefore, their Girl Scout Cookie flavor is the no-frills Rah Rah Raisin. It doesn’t get much simpler than an oatmeal raisin cookie. For the gluten-free and vegan peeps out there, we’ve got you covered with these gluten free vegan oatmeal raisin cookies.
Leo (July 23rd-August 22nd): Samoas (AKA Caramel deLites)

Libras are all about balance and harmony. Thus, their Girl Scout Cookie equivalent is obviously the most “healthy” one of them all. Cranberry Citrus Crisps are made with real fruit, are free of high-fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners, and are packed with 9 grams of whole grain.
Not that these are actually healthy in any way, but hey we can dream, right? If you prefer your cranberries more on the savory side, try this recipe for cranberry, brie, and caramelized onion tartlets.
Scorpio (October 23rd-November 21st): Thin Mints

Just as Aquarius’ use unorthodox methods to achieve their goals, Savannah Smiles are by far the most untraditional of all the Girl Scout Cookies.

If you can’t get your hands on a box of the real thing, these sweet and simple lemon bars should do the trick.
