Aries- Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
You’re feeling pretty independent these days, Aries. It’s nice to feel like you’ve got it all under control, all on your own huh? This is a perfect time for you to sit back and enjoy all of the progress you’ve made this year, and get excited for all that is still to come, Try making some roasted pumpkin seeds, they’re easy to make by yourself and something you can snack on all week while you plan how you’re gonna become even more successful.
Taurus- Hot Toddy
Yikes. You’ve been very busy. Like, really busy these past couple of weeks. Unfortunately, it probably won’t slow down any time soon, but that’s not a bad thing! It means that you’re finally in a place where you’re thriving and becoming the person you want to be. Don’t forget to take a load off this month and maybe have a movie night with some friends. My suggestion is to make a hot toddy (at least for those over 21). The perfect combination of whiskey, honey, lemon and cinnamon is bound to have you relaxing and appreciating all of the hard work you’ve been doing recently.
Gemini- Candy Corn
You’re feeling frisky, Gemini! You’re down for furthering your career, your relationships and your passion projects all at the same time, which is rare for someone towards the end of the year, but you’ve got so much energy that I know you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Good things are coming your way! Treat yo’self, go out and buy a bag of candy corn to indulge in, and wait for all of the new and exciting opportunities that are bound to come your way.
Cancer- Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
You’re gonna be very popular this month, but don’t let your newfound fame overwhelm your sense of security. Keep social distancing, keep away from large groups of people and stay safe for yourself and your community. But don’t forget to have a little fun as well! Make some pumpkin chocolate chip bread, download Netflix Party, a Google Chrome extension that allows you to watch Netflix simultaneously with your friends while each at your own homes, and everyone will forget about the current state of our nation as you host a spooky Halloween movie night. Tip: Make extra and send it to your friends. Pumpkin bread is always a crowd favorite.
Leo- Apple Pie
It’s time to be realistic, Leo. This year you’ve been looking to the clouds and hoping that things will fall into place, but this month is time for you to start forcing things into place for yourself. Think smarter, not harder. Make yourself a simple and classic apple pie and get down to business.
Virgo- Pumpkin Spice Latte
Money is going to be the main focus of your month. Whether we like it or not, our society revolves around it and you are soon going to come into a situation in which you will need to set aside some cash for unexpected expenses. But if you’re lucky, new investments will start paying off. Once the waves have settled, go out and buy yourself an overpriced Starbucks PSL to celebrate.
Libra- Pumpkin Pie
Happy happy birthday! This is your month to celebrate you and everything you have done this year for yourself, your community and your loved ones. You’ve spent the year watching out for others whether it was for the better of the public health, personal situations or even just daily tasks that have lightened the load for those around you. Your lucky karma is coming. Have a nice big pumpkin pie with all of your healthy, COVID-tested negative loved ones for your birthday this month, Libra.
Scorpio- Pumpkin Beer
This is usually your month to shine, but you might find yourself a little stressed out this month. Through COVID-19, election drama and things going on in your personal life, it’s time to take some me-time, Scorpio. Usually, around this time of year, you would unwind by going to some awesome Halloween parties and scouting out the coolest themed bars, but this year is a little different. To keep in the spooky mood, try and find some Pumpkin Beer, have a very small party with some loved ones and get excited for when all of this bullshit is over.
Sagittarius- Popcorn Ball
Unfortunately, the stars don’t seem to know that we’re needing to social distance right now. You’re gonna feel like a social butterfly this month, but that doesn’t mean that you have to wallow alone in your room all month! Thankfully in this day and age, we have ways to connect with friends without risking our health during a pandemic. Make some popcorn balls, crunchy and sweet and exciting, wrap them up pretty to send to your friends and have a fall-themed Zoom party! You can all eat your popcorn balls and reminisce about when the world wasn’t such a nightmare.
Capricorn- Freshly picked apples
Alright Capricorn, you have a lot of power right now. You may not be sure what to do with it, but it might be in your best interest to harness it into an outlet for your professional side. This is a great time for you to network (over Zoom) and become acquainted with some connections that can help you get a leg up on your professional competition. Take your boss out for a socially distant apple picking session at a local orchard, enjoy the fresh air, and know that everything is going to be alright.
Aquarius- Apple Cider
Your mind might feel a little all over the place this month, but that’s only because you have so many incredible ideas and no way to enact them due to the scary state of our world right now. This is a perfect time for you to sit down and perfect your ideas so that when the time comes, you can run out into the world and dominate your career field. Make some hot apple cider, get cozy and start drawing up some plans to become the best version of yourself that you can be.
Pisces- Caramel Apple
It’s time to come out of hibernation, Pisces (mentally, that is). You have so many fantastic ideas and plans for your life and the world seems a little helpless right now. Things may seem sticky in your mind, so grab yourself a caramel apple and tell the world, “Hey! This is my life and I am accepting that it can be sticky. But it can also be sugary sweet. Just like a caramel apple.”
