Scorpio season ushers in intense flavors.
Here we go, Scorpio season! On Oct. 23, it’s time to shake off Libra’s airy vibes and settle into the heart of fall. But “settling” doesn’t mean that things are about to get boring — quite the opposite, in fact. Scorpio is mysterious, seductive, and moody. It’s the perfect time to experiment with intense flavors and intimidating dishes.
This is a good week for romanticizing the very act of cooking itself. Instead of simply checking off a box, what if you create a vibe? Light some candles, put on a playlist (this is a personal fave), and cook like you’re the main character. For just one night, turn a chore into a moment of self-care.
Inspired by this week’s horoscopes from Alexandria Lettman, Bustle’s astrology columnist, here are my suggestions for how to honor both your birth chart and your pantry. Be sure to check both your sun and rising sign!
