Did you know the zodiac pairs perfectly with cheese? Fall-going-into-winter signs: Read your cheesy horoscope below!
SCORPIO
Stellar essence: Intense, alchemical, reclusive
Cosmic pairings:
- Roquefort
- Hoshigaki
- Sauternes
Mysterious Scorpio is all about savoring dark delights from hidden depths. She thrives when lurking in the shadows with Pluto, the overlord of the underworld. However it’s not all doom and gloom—Scorpio finds fecundity and renewal in death and decay. Cheese is the perfect embodiment of these transformational qualities: rot + time = metamorphosis. Scorpio prefers her cheese funky, cave-aged, and served with other fermented fare that reaps the benefits of putrefaction. The best snacks come to those who wait.
SAGITTARIUS
Stellar essence: Nomadic, philosophical, enthusiastic
Cosmic pairings:
- Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. TomaRashi
- GORP Trail Mix
- West Coast IPA
Sagittarius, the cosmic couch-surfer, seeks to broaden his horizons by sampling unfamiliar flavor fusions. He rambles carefree under the benevolent gaze of Jupiter, serendipitously stumbling across cheeses infused with global tasting notes. A wedge of tomme flecked with Japanese Shichimi tōgarashi is the ideal Sagittarius souvenir. Throw in some backpack-ready snacks and a crisp beer, and you have an explorer’s buffet to transport your taste buds. Going off the beaten path never tasted so good.
Alana M. Miller
Sun: Aquarius | Moon: Aquarius | Rising: Libra Alana is an avid cook, party-organizer, and archivist who not-so-secretly wants to be a cheese librarian (aka cheesemonger). With her Sun and Moon in Aquarius, she delights in creating systems and then disrupting them – perhaps this is why she sought to merge the taxonomy of cheese and mythology of the zodiac. She has published writing in Broccoli Mag, The Billfold, and the Museum of Modern Art’s Inside/Out blog. She is also co-creator and co-host of the podcast The Soak. When not compiling her own cheese card catalog, Alana enjoys spending time with her beehives, cats, and queso-obsessed husband in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Janet Konz
Sun: Aries | Moon: Leo | Rising: Virgo Janet has been astrology-obsessed from an early age. She’s pretty sure her first search on AskJeeves.com was “aries + astrology.” Janet’s exuberance and eagerness to get into the fray is a testament to her Sun in Aries. She is an astrology-savant, musician, raconteur, esthetician, and hairdresser-extraordinaire, all of which give her ample opportunity to scrutinize everyone’s signs and make cosmic connections. She resides in Brooklyn with her vegan companion.
