Your Ice Cream Flavor This Summer, by Star Sign

Gemini (May 21 – June 20):

This year will be your strawberry ice cream year! It’s bright, summery, and colorful, just like you. Strawberry is the underappreciated middle child of the neapolitan set, and it is high time that you took the lead on celebrating it.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22):

The nice thing about butter pecan ice cream is that it’s reliable. It’s really hard to mess up butter pecan, and a little stability in your life might be what you need right now. It’s sweet; it’s simple; it’s basically perfect. Or if you’re feeling fancy, try maple walnut, its more exciting cousin.

Leo (July 23 – August 22):

Hear me out: Superman ice cream. It’s a Michigan favorite of indeterminate flavor and composed of swirls of bright red, blue, and yellow. The flavor isn’t what matters; what matters is that it’s flashy. People will see you eating it and look on with envy.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22):

You crave ice cream; you need caffeine. Kill two birds with one stone and get yourself on coffee ice cream, for those days when you need to stay up late and you want a pint of ice cream to keep you company. Pair it with chocolate for the perfect combo.

Libra (September 23 – October 22):

Caramel ice cream somehow goes with everything… just like you! And not only that, it’s also great as a standalone flavor. By that logic, there is no reason not to order it every time you visit an ice cream shop. So, go forth and prosper.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21):

Death by chocolate is, as the name suggests, an experience. For the thrill-seekers of the ice cream world, death by chocolate will be your new best friend: rich, intense, and not for the faint of heart. Prepare yourself to have a life-changing experience and never look back.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21):

You’re not like the other girls. You like soft serve. In particular, your next big flavor is two-berry twist, and here’s why: it’s fun, it’s inventive, and most importantly, you get two flavors for the price of one. Plus, you get to feel special.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19):

It’s okay, you’re allowed to like ice cream too. If it helps, you can start with coconut milk ice cream, which feels just a little less like ice cream. It’s equally delicious, but probably less indulgent (though you are entitled to absolutely any ice cream you desire).

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18):

If you want an ice cream that will send you to another realm, mint chocolate chip is the way to go. A cold thing which is cold-flavored; eating it will allow you to transcend the dry heat of summer and attain nirvana.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20):

Cookie dough is a comfort ice cream. It’s hard to do well (they never give you enough of the actual cookie dough…), but when made right, it’s hard to find anything better. Plus, there’s a built-in activity in finding and fishing the cookie dough pieces out.

Aries (March 21 – April 19):

Try cinnamon ice cream at least once this season. Every time might feel a bit like a punishment, but isn’t love pain? Anyways, cinnamon ice cream is a challenge: can you get through an entire scoop? Do you even want to? The only way to know is by trying.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20):

Rocky road is great, not only for the taste, but for the name. Everything about the flavor cultivates a very specific vibe, and a very enjoyable one. As an added bonus, it’s the subject of a “Weird Al” Yankovic song. You’re welcome.
