What to Eat in Capricorn Season

Wondering what to eat in Capricorn season? I've got 100 earthy recipes to keep us warm through the winter. It's gonna be awesome.

Capricorn season marks the official start of winter, so we're eating meat and potatoes and lots of earthy, comforting foods to keep us fueled for climbing our personal mountain. Nature is taking a break, but humans persist, so we need foods that will fuel us while we wait for the sun to return.

Our ancestors would have been relying on what they gathered and preserved at the harvest, so these recipes are hearty and warming, with pops of modern freshness wherever we can find them. It's gonna be delicious.

Capricorn Foods

The symbol of Capricorn is the mountain goat (well, technically a sea goat, but you can't eat that), so it rules over all cloven-hoofed animals. This includes cows and pigs, so there's lots of meat in this season's recipes. It also rules starchy foods like pasta, as well as a few fresh foods.

Here are some of the foods ruled by Capricorn that you can incorporate into your meal plans for the next month.

• beef
• lamb
• onions
• pasta
• pine nuts
• pork
• potatoes
• spinach

Saturn Foods

Saturn reminds us to be aware of our limits and boundaries. Sometimes it can be seen as a planet that holds us back, but boundaries also protect us. Capricorn's goat energy can sometimes knock people down in its attempt to get things done, so having strong boundaries is ideal. Here are some foods to help remind you of your own boundaries and limits.
