Sushi by Sign for Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo and Virgo

Your favorite Sushi

After an eight-hour day and a long commute, sometimes you just want someone else to cook for you. Ordering in a pizza gets old. Besides, after what you've been through all day, something more exotic is in order -- something that will make you feel spoiled. Find your takeout drawer, dig out the Japanese menu, and order the sushi that’s guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds.

Aries (March 20 to April 19)
You're a fire sign, and you like your food spicy hot. Order what sounds good, then ask for extra wasabi, a magical condiment that turns any type of sushi into a red-hot delight. Then scan the menu for the word "spicy," most often attached to "Tuna Roll" -- but don't stop there. If the entrée's name includes "volcano," "fire cracker" or "heat," it will bring tears to your eyes and a tingle to your taste buds.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
Your planet is Venus, the goddess of all physical pleasures. That includes food and beauty. Presentation, then, makes any meal more delicious. Since sushi is known as "edible art," it's a match made in heaven. If you're not fond of fish, don't worry. There's a Korean version of sushi that replaces fish with minced beef. But either the Salmon Roll or the "Inari" -- sushi made with tofu -- is just as hearty and filling. Go on … try new foods!

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
"Variety is the spice of life." The expression may not have been coined by a Gemini, but it was certainly written by an appreciative fan. So when you glance at a sushi menu, the first thought that will undoubtedly cross your fast-moving mind will be how to order one of everything. Fortunately, you're rarely without companionship, so you can order any kind of variety platter.

Cancer(June 21 to July 21)
If there's anything that will catch your eye, Cancer, it's eggs. If you love caviar (and if you don't, it's only because you haven't had it yet … honestly) then go for the best kind. Try the sushi version -- go for the Quail Eggs ("Uzura"), the Salmon Roe or the Smelt Roe. Now, these are all pretty darned salty, so choose carefully if you want to limit your sodium intake. Otherwise, have a ball. You might even be able to talk the kids into trying some. Dare them!

Leo (July 22 to Aug. 22)
You're quite daring, Leo, in every department, so when it comes to food, you're a regular pioneer of the palate -- and proud of it. Next time you're in the mood for something different, go Japanese. Invite someone along who's equally game for new culinary experiences -- someone who deserves the honor of your company. Being a fire sign, you probably like your food just as spicy. Try the Miami Heat Roll (or the local equivalent), the Spicy Tuna Roll or the Pocono Mountain Roll. Just have plenty of lemon water handy!

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Your discriminating taste buds and absolute worship of healthy foods have probably led you into Japanese restaurants plenty of times, Virgo. While your tender digestive system likely keeps you from indulging in too much wasabi, Rainbow Rolls, Salmon Rolls or Tekka Rolls are perfect. They’re all made from fish, all tasty and all wonderfully nutritious. Since you think hard before you put anything in your body, sushi that's made from octopus or squid probably won't make it past security. Be brave and try the Anago or Unagi. If you can forget about what it is, you'll love it!
