Did you know the zodiac pairs perfectly with cheese? Fall signs: Read your cheesy horoscope below!
VIRGO
Stellar essence: Meticulous, analytical, dutiful
Cosmic pairings:
-
Dill Havarti
-
Crudités
-
Rosemary Crackers
-
BrightLeaf Chamomile Lavender Sparkling Tea
Fastidious Virgo suffers no fools. Guided by Mercury, the airborne conduit of intel, and Demeter, the timekeeping goddess of the harvest, Virgo demands wholesome perfection executed with ritualistic rigor.
Never one to cut corners, Virgo actively embraces the creative challenge of thinking inside the box. Virgo’s ideal foodscape is composed of precisely portioned morsels of pure and simple flavor: manicured cubes of dill havarti perfectly centered on rosemary crackers, color-blocked bouquets of crisp crudités, and refreshing glasses of botanically-infused sparkling tea to cleanse the palate and keep the head clear. Being a bit basic never tasted so enticing!
LIBRA
Stellar essence: Harmonious, dashing, cooperative
Cosmic pairings:
-
Chechil
-
Dolmas
-
Dates
-
Baklava
-
Georgian Orange Wine
They say you can’t please everyone, but that doesn’t stop hopelessly romantic Libra from trying. Ruled by amorous Venus, Libra is the matchmaker of the heavens, sparking convivial connections of all kinds.
Celebrate Libra’s charms by unwinding a braid of smoky chechil—Armenia’s sophisticated string cheese—perfect for dividing among pals. Pass around jewel-toned china plates of dolmas, dates, and walnut baklava for nibbling between sips of effervescent orange wine. Libra’s scales will sing as they sup on this balanced spread with their gaggle of friends and lovers!
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.
