I know this seems so totally OT, but i ask all my fellow Astronuts... according to your birth chart, what spice are you?

I just was thinking about what spice (Or flavor) i might be a couple of seconds ago, and i think i would be Ginger. When i good, i'm really good, and when i'm bad... i'm REALLY bad! It's just the kind of spicyness ginger has, i'm not spicy in a "Peppery" kind of way, i'm not that robust! It's the exotic taste of it that i think matches my personality (And my birth chart) really well. What about you? I know this is a really silly post, but why not?

    I would say I'm black pepper, (whole peppercorns). Dry and sharp, but to taste me you have to make the effort of grinding me a little bit, or I will just be off-putting and confusing.

    Cardamom.
    But I don't know what metaphor that is, I just like it. I also love vanilla but I don't know how well that matches my 'personality'. However I think cancer is a bit vanilla-esque. I think the sign cancer is a bit like vanilla ice cream. Virgo (my ascendant) is like fruit and scorpio (my moon) is like dark chocolate. That's the food metaphors for my sun, moon and asc.


    Now that I'm at it I have to associate foods with the signs...


    Aries - raw meat, bloody steaks, sushi
    Taurus - cheese, wine, filés, rich foods
    Gemini - snacks, chips, crisps, candy
    Cancer - milk, ice-cream, yoghurt
    Leo - steak, rich foods
    Virgo - fruit, vegetables, nuts,
    Libra - sweets, pastries, (sometimes) rich foods, drinks
    Scorpio - chocolate, sea food, red wine
    Sagittarius - spicey food,
    Capricorn - standard meals, sandwitches, eggs, yoghurt, potatoes
    Aquarius - ?
    Pisces - soda, juice, energy drinks, soft drinks

    I have no idea about aquarius but pisces influenced people - I don't really know what they like to eat either but they really seem to like juice, sodas and energy drinks of all forms!

      Tha's pretty good. Ew, I am a Taurus Sun and cheese is disgusting to me, as are all dairy products and meats. Rich foods make me very sick. Virgo and Sag seem to fit the best. I have a 6th house (health/diet) in Sag, and Sag is most assoc. with vegetarianism/veganism (like me).

      It's funny that you put a question mark next to Aquarius because that is also the sign that puzzles me the most.

      Aquarius apparently follows:
      Foods which stimulate blood circulation, like chilli and cayenne peppers, as well as brain and nerve foods, like wheat grass, oats and barley, are indicated for Aquarius. Red-coloured foods like beets, radishes, peppers, saffron, strawberries, etc.

      I've noticed a lot of strong Aquarians like yoga... I can't stand that type of exercise, though it's on my workout program that I am doing. Bleh!

        My father was an Aquarius and he like to eat everything. LOL. And he was a damned good cook as well. Just don't go in his kitchen when he was busy. He didn't teach, and he didn't like distractions.

          My dad is from the midwest (raised on a farm) and very strong Gemini, and he put grease in EVERYTHING. Any sort of vegetable is also his abhorence, as is ethnic food. He used to be a chef, but I can't imagine he was very versatile in the kitchen!

          Myzil - you don't strike me as very Taurus, but maybe it's that Venus of yours that we were discussing. I guess Venus would like the richer foods, esp. fattening ones! My Venus is not very prominent in my chart, and my Taurus Sun is very Uranian. I can be lazy at times, but it's usually only when I am not happy with how my life is going and my energy is low.

        Interesting that you say that because I know another taurus sun that can't stand fatty/rich foods either. Usually people with other inner planets in taurus are more into those kind of foods than taurus suns seems to be for some reason... I guess they're two types of taureans.
        But, do you like candy and sugary things? Because the taurus I know that can't stand rich foods loves candy and sweets and that kind of stuff.

            "But, do you like candy and sugary things? Because the taurus I know that can't stand rich foods loves candy and sweets and that kind of stuff. "

            Not really... When I was a kid I was raised on really fattening food, and I was very unhealthy and bloated all of the time because of it. I guess sometimes I may eat things that are sugary, but it's when I have a mad craving, and even then I prefer organic sweets (dark chocolates, soy yogurts/ice creams, etc.). Sugary and salty things are more heightened to me because I eat a lot of organic stuff, and so I can only take a little of it. I had quite a few regular chips several weeks ago and I almost passed out from it, I got really ill and shaky. I notice subtle changes in my health based on food - swelling, digestive issues, heart palpitations, etc. When you eat healthier I think you become more sensitive to what junk does to your body. My one vice is coffee... but even that has benefits that may fight cancer and dementia.

            I think the 6th house is esp. where you want to look about diets and food preferences.

              Yes, my family have always been into very rich food and lots of it (even though they aren't very fat but it's not junk food but lots of oil and fat) + they're all big meat eaters, and I can't eat meat. I sometimes eat a little like once every other month or so to make sure I get a little vitamin b12 but other than that I just don't feel good eating it, and I'm the only one.

              "When you eat healthier I think you become more sensitive to what junk does to your body."

              I recognize that very much. Sometimes though I actually delibirately try not to eat so super healthy just because the body gets so sensitive to everything, and like you say one can even become sick from eating rich or sugary foods. But it's also because I was so super healthy for a long time so I'm aiming towards being more relaxed now, because I do like sweets and sugary things and not to mention coffee, but I never abstained from coffee though :).

              I don't know if it's only the 6th house cusp. For me atleast it's a combo of my virgo rising + actually the cancer influence, cancer can sometimes aim towards the mild and purer things, and also a bit of my scorp moon which is the fanatic side as well as my oppositions to neptune which I can imagine increases the body's sensitivity. My 6th house is empty and the cusp is in aquarius.

        I would say smoothies, superfoods, powerbars and things you've never knew existed are on the Aquarian menu. Tongue in cheek, and never mind the workout program... are Aquarians supposed to supersede all programming?

        Me, I'm a cayenne loving Capricorn. Actually, my Moon is in Gemini, so I love snacks, and probably eat more potatoes than any other vegetable. And then how about 3 planets in Sag ? Eating on the run, foreign flavors, spicy, outdoor picnics anyone?

        enjoy your weekend -

      Sugarmoon - I also had to laugh at Pisces being associated with soda because my sister is strong Pisces and she survives on Mountain Dew and cough drops.

    How about different spices/flavors for each day of the week?

    "When i good, i'm really good, and when i'm bad... i'm REALLY bad!" Hey, kind of like having a little curl, right in the middle of the forehead. :)

    I don't think I AM a spice, and I've never been crazy about spices in all honesty. I'm more like - the icing on a Cinnabun, and dark chocolate cake.

    Cayenne pretty much explains my life mission lol

    "Many herbalists believe that Cayenne is the most useful and valuable herb in the herb kingdom, not only for the entire digestive system, but also for the heart and circulatory system. It acts as a catalyst and increases the effectiveness of other herbs when used with them."
