THIS FORTNIGHT feels like waking up from a long, waterlogged dream and immediately being handed a double-shot espresso — Neptune turns direct in Pisces on December 10, ending five months of culinary confusion, misplaced cravings, and “why did I order that?” energy, while Mercury, Sun and Mars pile into Sagittarius, lighting fires under our stoves, spirits and social calendars. The danger? Overbooking dinners, over-spicing plans, and burning out before dessert. The gift? Food finally tastes like intention again. What you cook now reflects who you truly are — not who you were drifting as.

ARIES

The fog clears from your nervous system and suddenly you realise half your recent takeaways were just edible escapism, so this fortnight is about restorative eating — broths, slow-cooked dals, simple khichdi, warm soups that switch off the background static — even as Mars tempts you toward chaotic dinner plans and reckless late nights, but Madame Z advises: heal first, feast second, because the more you respect the off-switch now, the more ferocious your appetite for adventure becomes later.

TAURUS

Your relationship with food and friends undergoes a quiet audit — you’re no longer eating just to belong, no longer splitting bills just to keep the peace — this is about choosing tables that nourish you emotionally and financially, favouring shared home meals over expensive peer-pressure cafés, rediscovering potlucks, family recipes, cooperative grocery runs, and saying no to draining dinner plans that cost more than they give.

GEMINI

Your professional fog lifts and along with it your food-as-performance phase, where everything had to be photogenic and impressive; now you crave food that fuels stamina rather than applause — protein-rich breakfasts, properly packed lunches, fewer chaotic snack spirals — even as flirtatious Sagittarius energy tempts you into spontaneous date dinners, but the rule here is: eat for your real work, not your imagined audience.

CANCER

You’re balancing lofty wellness dreams with the grind of daily discipline, which shows up in your kitchen as experimentation without obsession — you’ll flirt with exotic grains, fermented things, unfamiliar spices, but you’ll still return loyally to familiar breakfasts and structured mealtimes; the magic happens when structure becomes a launchpad rather than a cage, and your oven becomes both routine and refuge.

LEO

The illusions around indulgence dissolve — you suddenly know exactly what feels safe, rich, and genuinely pleasurable rather than thrilling-but-sketchy — so you splurge where you trust (a favourite bakery, a guaranteed dessert hit, your safest wine), while cutting out risky experiments that cost too much energy; bold dinner plans coexist with very selective appetites, and your body thanks you for the discernment.

VIRGO

The mist lifts from your relationships and lands squarely in your domestic zone, triggering kitchen revolutions — pantry reorganising, spice audits, appliance upgrades, moving from “we’ll manage” to “this actually works”; you stop feeding fixer-upper humans and start feeding yourself better, which means fewer compromise meals and more food that genuinely meets your standards of reciprocity and care.

LIBRA

You finally stop talking about health and start eating like it matters, but not in punishing ways — this is sustainable nourishment: consistent breakfasts, fewer sugar rollercoasters, meals planned with friends, salad with warmth and pleasure rather than aesthetic misery; the social element keeps you accountable, and wellness becomes something you share instead of something you outsource to trends.

SCORPIO

The romance returns — not fantasy-food, not cinematic hunger, but real pleasure with a pulse; you spend money on dates, desserts, wine and indulgent ingredients again, but only where joy is mutual and not transactional; impulsive splurges soften into curated treats, and you finally trust your appetite instead of interrogating it.

SAGITTARIUS

You are personally on fire, clothes flying, plans stacking, but the soul of this fortnight lies in tending your home base — your fridge becomes your stabiliser, your kitchen your grounding ritual; you may oscillate wildly between hosting people and hiding with toast, but the winning move is building a sanctuary that can absorb your momentum without collapsing under it.

CAPRICORN

Your words return, your social clarity sharpens, and so does your catering discernment — fewer crowded tables, more deliberate invitations; fewer NPC dinners, more VIP meals; soup shared with one trusted person suddenly feels richer than ten forced networking coffees, and your digestive system mirrors your conversational selectivity.

AQUARIUS

Reality checks arrive in your wallet and linger in your grocery cart — indulgence gives way to budget-aware nourishment, where you still treat yourself but with strategy; you choose bulk grains over daily deliveries, cooking over convenience, and you suddenly feel a strange satisfaction in watching money—and meals—stretch further without feeling deprived.

PISCES

Neptune’s direct turn in your sign feels like meeting your appetite for the first time in months — you start craving clarity instead of comfort-fog, choosing food that makes you feel real, grounded, visible; Mars pushes career hunger, yes, but your body insists on being fed like it matters, not like an afterthought, and for once you actually listen.
