Celestial Cravings: Studio Ghibli Foods For Every Zodiac Sign

Whether you're a fan of animated films or not, you can’t deny the charm of animated food. 2D or not, there's something so irresistible about it that your brain refuses to accept that the delicious-looking meal on screen isn’t real. Your mouth waters. Your stomach growls. You get it.

And yet, as I watch those beautifully hand-drawn dishes, I can’t help but feel that each one radiates the aesthetic, nuance, and energy of a specific zodiac sign. Now, I’m no astrology expert—my knowledge mostly comes from memes and Instagram posts—but anime? That I know. So here it is: the Studio Ghibli meal that best matches the vibe of your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The Miso Simmered Fish From The Wind Rises

Bold, ambitious, and utterly dynamic, nothing suits this fire sign more than the Miso Simmered Fish from The Wind Rises. 

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The Ramen From Ponyo

A cult classic for all the best reasons, the ramen from Ponyo encapsulates the warm, indulgent, and serene nature of Taurus. 

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The Star Candies From Spirited Away

Chaotic, playful, and spontaneous in the best way, nothing captures Gemini energy quite like the whimsical star candies from Spirited Away.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The Hot Honey Milk From Ponyo

Soft, understated, warm, comforting, and emotive, the Ponyo Hot Honey Milk is Cancerians personified in the form of a drink. 

Leo (July 23-August 22)

The Eggs & Bacon From Howl's Moving Castle

Fiery, theatrical, and extra in the best way possible, Calcifer cooking the eggs and bacon in Howl’s Moving Castle just screams Leo. The sass, the warmth and the comfort of it all are just uncanny. 

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

The Bread, Jam & Butter From The Boy & The Heron

Simple, understated, and practical, yet still chaotic—is there any other way to describe Virgos? Their vibe matches the jam and toast from The Boy & The Heron. Honestly, there are no words, only vibes. 

Libra (September 23-October 22)

The Tea Party From Spirited Away

Balanced and yet flirty, the tea party scene in Spirited Away screams Libra in the best possible way. From the abundance of delicious snacks to the cute jelly treats, I dare you to pick a better match. 

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

The Seafood Platter From When Marnie Was There

Complicated and intense (in a way that only Scorpios can be), the seafood platter from When Marnie Was There is the perfect pairing for the star sign. The mixture of intense flavours and vibrant colours gives Scorpio. 

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

The Siberia Sponge Cake From The Wind Rises

Dynamic and magnetic, everyone finds themselves drawn to Sagittarians, whether they like it or not. Their colourful nature and boundless force remind me of the Siberia Sponge Cake from The Wind Rises. 

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Satsuki’s Bento From My Neighbor Totoro

With a fandom of its own, the bento from My Neighbor Totoro is the perfect blend of grounded and well-rounded. And what better sign to go with this iconic meal than Capricorn? 

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

The Kiki Cake From Kiki’s Delivery Service

Warm, emotive, and humanitarian, is there any doubt that the adorable Kiki Cake from Kiki’s Delivery Service should be paired with anyone other than Aquarius? 

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

The Picnic From When Marnie Was There

Empathetic and toeing the line between fantasy and reality, the picnic from When Marnie Was There screams Pisces. Now, to get the reason behind this match, you will have to watch the film, because this is a no-spoiler zone, but trust us, this radiates Pisces energy.
