Aries (March 21 - April 19) Some days the bundt cake doesn't rise, the pasta over-boils or the pork chops get burned. The trick is to shrug it off and know that tomorrow is another day to make a great meal (or at least an edible one).
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) When you're feeling low on energy or run-down, soups and fresh (as in squeezed or juiced yourself) fruit and vegetable juices give your body lots of nutrients without putting a ton of stress on your digestive system.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Your social calendar is busy, but make sure that eating well and seeing loved ones are a priority. Making a regular date to eat with friends and family at least once a week will help keep those ties firm.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Family mealtimes are important. Not only do they make sure the people you love are eating properly, but it helps you stay connected to one another and learn about what's going on in each other's lives.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Combine your social life and your love of cooking today. Invite your foodie best friend to a vegan cooking class. Go to a wine-and-cheese sampling and make sure to mingle and meet with your fellow like-minded gourmets.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You can make small steps to go green while you eat. Swapping out paper towels and napkins for reusable cloth versions (which you can make from old shirts and sheets) is cheap, green, and saves dozens of trees per year.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) You excel at finding innovative solutions. Having an old-fashioned comfort food dinner for a friend who's gluten free? Brown rice bread makes wonderful breadcrumbs for your dessert or meatloaf.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Get up early so you can get to the greenmarket first. If you have a recipe you've been wanting to try out, you'll need top-notch ingredients. Arriving when the gates open means you get crack at the best the fishmonger and vegetable farmers have to offer.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) The food you eat can help your nervous system deal with stress. The more whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruit you eat, the more your body, mind and soul will function at their peak. Eating healthy is a win-win situation.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) A little competition is just what your spirit needs. Why not challenge your food-loving friends and family to a bake-off, or do your own Iron Chef with a tricky main ingredient? You're sure to have lots of fun (and some of the food will be terrific).
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Sweets are a necessary luxury. You can make versions that taste amazing and don't spike your glycemic index. Make a chocolate-hazelnut pudding using two percent milk, gianduja (hazelnut-flavored chocolate), and agave.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Sometimes you just want Mom's home cooking -- even if it's not your Mom. If a friend invites you over for a meal with her family, take up that invitation. You'll have a great time, and pick up some ideas for your own meals.
