Your Daily FoodScope for January 20, 2026

January 20, 2026



Do you often find yourself wondering what food to cook, how to cook it, and even that dreaded question—how much of it? It’s a daily struggle for all of us, but need not be with our food horoscope. Satisfaction is only a click away!

Aries

Sometimes it's good to unlock your emotions and let them run amok. But do that in the privacy of home, because it can be quite a spectacle. That way you'll also be close to a kitchen, because nothing helps with the emotional cleansing process than mac and cheese and a quart of Ben and Jerry's.

Taurus

Sharing food with others is part of the essence of human interaction. Chatting and eating are valued activities in nearly every culture. So whether you have Italian, French, Japanese or Indian, make sure you have good friends to share the meal with. It's what life is all about!

Gemini

You really know how to stretch a buck, so put that talent to good use today. Rather than buy a deli sandwich, hit the market for sliced turkey breast, Swiss cheese, red-leaf lettuce and a couple of sourdough rolls. You'll spend less than you would for a sandwich, and you'll have enough left over for another one tomorrow.

Cancer

People will quake in your presence today as you wear your moods on your sleeve. You could be quite testy, but at least people will leave you alone, which is exactly as you'll want it. Ask for a booth in the back when you dine out tonight and get the usual: crab bisque, crab salad and crab cakes.

Leo

It may be too hot to cook at home. So have dinner at a nice open-air cafe after the searing sun has gone down. Order refreshing iced tea to begin with, and keep dinner suitably breezy. A Chinese chicken salad with an almond dressing will be perfect, as will gelato for dessert.

Virgo

The busy office environment will energize you today, and you'll be a dynamo of action. But you'll run out of steam by the time you get home, and a popping a Salisbury steak TV dinner into the oven will take all the energy you'll have left.

Libra

Coworkers will have two moods today, nasty and nastier. But you'll be too sunny for that. So go off by yourself at lunch, because you don't need their negativity. Sit on a park bench and enjoy your New York Reuben with coleslaw. It'll give a whole new meaning to the term happy meal.

Scorpio

A trip overseas may not be feasible, but it will be possible to bring the foreign experience to you. Dine at an ethnic restaurant tonight; there's sure to be many to choose from. From German bratwurst to Japanese unagi to Chicago-style pizza, the great cuisines of the world are right around the corner

Sagittarius

One small act of compassion could be inspiring to others. Friends may see you handing out bagels and pastries to the homeless, and start doing their part to help. Or they'll hear of you lending a hand with Meals On Wheels and admire your selflessness. No matter what prompts them to take action, everybody wins.

Capricorn

Resistant to new ideas, you'll have the same old same old for dinner. Oh, what a world you're missing! Baked tilapia, Provencal fish stew and even sushi may be too weird for your tastes. But open up and you can greatly expand your culinary horizons, and you may not have tuna casserole again for a good long time.

Aquarius

Nutritious eating isn't just a trendy idea; it's also a matter of health. Veggies like asparagus, arugula, carrots and garlic are packed with vitamins and nutrients that are essential to physical and mental well-being. Throw in the fact that they're also tasty, and there's no reason to eat any other way.

Pisces

You'll have the urge to create something new in the kitchen tonight. Chilean sea bass isn't something you prepare every day, so go to it. Pan sear that sucker and serve with fresh spinach and mushroom grits and you'll have a refreshing and delicious change from the status quo.
