Aries
The tendency of the Aries Moon person to not waste any time can carry over to their eating habits, mainly in the way they'll rush through a meal to get on with the next activity. Some are notorious for skipping a good breakfast, which can have deleterious effects on their energy throughout the day. Spice -- whether enjoying it or avoiding it -- is often on the mind of those born under this fiery Moon sign.

Taurus
Creatures of habit, those with Taurus Moons often fall into routines -- and then have difficulty shifting away from them. Therefore, starting a diet or changing eating patterns doesn't come easily for these people. However, when they commit to a change and get into a groove, they can often adapt easily to their new habit. Taurus Moons crave sensuality and are delighted by the taste, aroma, and visual appeal of food.

Gemini
Gemini Moons are the ultimate snackers. Eating a little of this and a bit of that is one way they satisfy their craving for variety. With almost insatiable curiosity, if they hear about a new food, they invariably try it to see what all the hullabaloo is about. Multi-taskers at heart, they may do double-duty when eating, coupling it with conversation, reading, or Internet browsing.

Cancer
Sensitive souls, those with Cancer Moons often turn to food for self-soothing. As such, they may want to keep a tendency for emotional eating in check so that it doesn't lead to overindulgence. There's nothing wrong with finding nurturance through food; it's just important to not use it as a panacea for personal problems. For Cancer Moons, home is where the heart is, so cooking meals for themselves and those they love can be particularly nourishing.

Leo
Like life itself, eating can be a cause for celebration for those with Leo Moons. With their big heart and enthusiastic nature, they like to live large. As a result, these individuals need to watch that this doesn't too frequently translate into going overboard. Since they're so focused on maintaining a sense of dignity, Leo Moons may not let on that they're watching their weight or being challenged by a particular food.

Virgo
Those with Virgo Moons are inclined to be picky when it comes to food, evaluating its quantities of nutrients or quality of ingredients. Eating is often less about the pleasure it provides and more about the functional role the food plays in supporting their health. Discerning to a fault, they need to watch that their perfectionistic nature doesn't translate into judging every morsel they eat -- something that can significantly reduce the enjoyment of food.

Libra
With their convivial nature, Libra Moons often see their meals as an opportunity to gather with friends and loved ones. Even the simplest of meals can provide great pleasure if they're artfully arranged and served with beautiful dinnerware. However, they need to watch that their propensity for indecision doesn't detract from their eating enjoyment, as it can make even the smallest mealtime decision seem monumental -- and, consequently, a potential source of stress.

Scorpio
Passionate by nature, those with Scorpio Moons have foods they love ... and foods they definitely don't love. With a tendency to go to extremes, they may be all-or-nothing when it comes to eating -- either being overly restrictive or completely unconstrained. It's important for them to keep this tendency in check so it doesn't impact their well-being. Sensual Scorpio Moons can even find sharing a meal -- with the right person amid the right setting -- to be an erotic experience.

Sagittarius
Like all other facets of their life, eating is an adventure for those with Sagittarius Moons. Enjoying different cuisines is a way for them to satisfy their desire to explore and learn about other cultures. Being optimists at heart, they need to watch out for my-eyes-are-bigger-than-my-mouth syndrome, whereby they order more food than their appetite (and stomach!) can accommodate. Often averse to feeling any sense of limitation, they need to remember that less is sometimes actually more.

Capricorn
As Capricorn Moons aren't always eager to sway from tradition, they're usually more of the meat-and-potatoes type rather than the one trying out new-fad foods. If they set their mind to something -- whether a new eating regimen or learn a new cooking technique -- their committed nature will help them see it through. Rather frugal, they tend to not spend excessive money on dining out; and not wanting to waste, they're lovers of leftovers.

Aquarius
Aquarius Moons like to be free to do what they wish at any time -- and this includes eating! They honor their prized independent streak by marching to their own mealtime beat. Intrigued by the larger world around them, these global citizens find the exotic both familiar and attractive. As such, foods from around the world may hold intrigue and foster delight for them.

Pisces
Pisces Moon people need to pay extra attention to when they eat; otherwise, they may dream away mealtime and not remember the experience -- or for that matter, even remember to eat in the first place! If they do remain present, eating can be a meditative, peace-inspiring occasion. They also may be drawn to libations as a way to escape their feelings ... but with their delicate constitutions, they may also be more susceptible to side effects.
