You know the scene at your local Starbucks. You've got business people crunching numbers, nervous job candidates meeting possible future managers, students cramming for exams, online daters primping as they get ready to say their first hellos -- and harried parents stopping by to fuel up on enough caffeine to keep up with their sugar-amped, frappuccino-loving kids.
Everyone stops at Starbucks for a few minutes of stolen pleasure, to sip at those deliciously frothy, creamy and exotic elixirs. There's no question that we connect on some cosmic level with our favorite drinks … and you know you have one! Ever wonder why yours seems to instantly soothe your soul? Your astrology sign can shed light on your Starbucks obsession. If you can’t quite make up your mind, learn which fabulously tasty drink fits your personality. Or, if you want to know what sign someone is, just pay attention to what they choose to chug down. Check it out:
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
The impatient ram wants that caffeine buzz fast, fierce and now! Aries literally can't wait for the barista to brew a fancy frappuccino. The simple act of steaming up the milk is beyond his or her limited attention span. And don't let Aries' already-overactive demeanor fool you. Rather than abstaining from further stimulation, this wild child can't get enough! The Starbucks solution? Espresso, with two extra shots: not too hot, hold the cream, no soy and forget the sugar.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
Someone who loves the finer things in life is willing to give up intense caffeination in favor of a sweet, creamy treat. But you'd better hope you don't get caught behind the brassy bull in the long line. With Taurus, the nervous deliberation can go on for more than a few minutes. There might not be much of a question about what Taurus wants (It's gonna be the Double Chocolate Chip Blended Crème Frappuccino), but there could be some guilt-driven indecision about the portions involved. You can safely bet that a Taurus would sound something like this: “I want the Grande … no, maybe the Tall … er … oh, what the hell? Give me the Venti!"
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
Already filled with nervous energy, Gemini really doesn't need high-octane coffee. This mentally adroit individual always has millions of synapses firing at lighting speed. On top of that, it's hard for this compulsive multi-tasker to focus on just one thing. You'll notice this trait as Gemini scans the crowd, looking for a few fellow customers who might be up for sharing some one-on-one time. In fact, it would be rare for the barista to keep the average Gemini's attention long enough to take their order for Iced Tea Lemonade. It’s caffeine-and-not-caffeine, sweet-and-not-so-sweet … perfect for Gemini, and definitely a conversation starter!
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Cancer can cook almost anything, and will want to order something that isn't easily replicated at home. This something must also offer an exciting experience in taste and a gateway to happy feelings. While the average person is debating between sugar and artificial sweetener, Cancer's query is more along the lines of: "What's warm, creamy, sweet and full-bodied, yet sophisticated enough not to be served with a straw?" Fortunately, Starbucks offers the Caramel Macchiato as a multi-layered adventure in texture and flavor -- just the kind of thing Cancer can get lost in for a few precious moments. Vanilla, espresso, steamed milk, foam -- and of course, rich, gooey, sweet and sticky caramel on top. Yum.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
Face it. Every Starbucks customer knows there's a whole other language being used beyond those clean glass doors. Leo thrives on the pseudo-Euro drink names and the insider's jargon that rolls off their tongue with a seeming lack of effort. That's why this dramatic, showy soul is more likely to order the Dulce de Leche Latte, Venti as a favorite drink than any other. Besides, with all that caramel and sweet milk, the big pussycat living inside every Leo's heart will lick its whiskers with great relish!

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
This down-to-earth, health-conscious person is into high-quality, efficiency and basic goodness. Nothing appeals to a Virgo more than a luscious Starbucks signature brew. Whether it's the robust breakfast blend or a sharp-tasting bean fresh from the Andes, Virgo isn't ashamed to stick to the plain and simple in life. But since this is Starbucks, Virgo will also appreciate and take advantage of options such as skim milk, low cal sweetener, fresh cinnamon for flavor (and maybe its possible anti-diabetic properties) and, of course, extra napkins. Decaf is optional but probable with this order, resulting in a Starbucks experience that's healthy and economical.
