Here’s Exactly What to Order at a Coffee Shop This Fall, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
If you want to know what’s in store for your love life this month, you’ll probably pull up your horoscope — but what about when you’re in line at your local coffee shop? Much like you might rely on astrology to tell you what you should avoid this season, you can count on star-aligned coffee shop suggestions to help fulfill all of your autumn caffeine needs. (And let’s face it: With fall events and midterms and everything else, you’re probably drinking *a lot* of coffee rn.)
Does your zodiac sign’s vibe lean more into classic PSL territory or more toward unorthodox flavors of the maple mocha variety? Read on to learn the fall coffee shop drink you should order based on your zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): Cinnamon-Spiced Caramel Latte
From your passionate heart to your fearlessness, you Aries are known to have a little kick — so it makes total sense that your go-to drink would be a cinnamon-spiced caramel latte. Plus, the sweet and spicy blend will save you, a driven fire sign, from boredom as you start to slow down this fall in preparation for hibernation season. “The spice in this drink gets [you] revved up and matches [your] heat in a playful way,” explains professional astrologer Erin River Sunday.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Maple Cinnamon Latte
Homebody Tauruses love a cozy night in — and what’s more snug for you earth signs than sipping a sweet maple cinnamon latte in front of your favorite comfort show? Sunday says down-to-earth Taureans prefer to pause and savor the sweetness of life. “This yummy latte is indulgent while still honoring earthy, natural flavors,” she explains.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Cinnamon Nutmeg Espresso
Geminis, the social air sign, have an arsenal of interests and hobbies (and a long to-do list too). For that reason, your fall drink is a cinnamon nutmeg espresso, which will give you the pep you need to keep up with your commitments, not to mention your multiple group chats. “This spicy espresso will keep [you] running (and chatting!) at a mile a minute,” Sunday says.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22) : Gingerbread Latte
Cancer is the sign of the home and family, and it’s why a gingerbread latte perfectly encapsulates the water sign’s comforting vibe. For you, the sentimental crab, Sunday says a perfect fall drink is one that sparks nostalgia. “There’s nothing like gingerbread flavor during the holidays to warm your heart,” she says.
Leo (July 23 – August 22): Spiced Brown Sugar Nutmeg Coffee
Leos are drawn to the simple (and, well, not-so-simple) joys of life, and that’s one reason an indulgent spiced brown sugar nutmeg coffee is the ideal fall drink for you lions. “The brown sugar feels more decadent and special, helping [you] stand out from the crowd,” says Sunday — and it also perfectly matches your warmth.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Pumpkin Spice Latte
Known for your efficiency, you Virgos don’t like to overcomplicate things — including your fall coffee shop order. For that reason, you pair best with a classic pumpkin spice latte. “It’s delicious and reliable, making it one less thing to worry about on Virgos’ to-do list,” Sunday says.
Libra (September 23 – October 22): Pumpkin Cream Chai
Libras are all about pleasure and aesthetics, so your fall drink order should feel like a true treat. An iced pumpkin cream chai with sweet cream is a twist on the classic PSL — and on having a hot drink for fall. “There’s something a bit more creative [about a pumpkin cream chai] that Libras appreciate,” Sunday says.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Apple Cider Latte
Scorpios are known to mesmerize others with their charisma (check you out!) — a lot like the alluring fall flavors of an apple cider latte. “Apple cider is often one of those holiday flavors that you can’t seem to escape,” says Sunday. “It’s magnetic, just the way Scorpio likes it.” This classic drink will satisfy your autumn flavor interests and draw you into the cozy, intimate vibes of the season.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Maple Cinnamon Mocha
As a Sagittarius, you’re the type to try anything once, and that’s absolutely true when it comes to your fall drink order, a maple cinnamon mocha. “Sagittarius people enjoy exploring the unknown, and maple and mocha aren’t put together at just any time of year,” explains Sunday. You’ll appreciate the exclusively late-autumn blend of flavors.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Salted Caramel Latte
One thing about Capricorn zodiac signs is you favor practicality over showmanship, and a salted caramel latte is a classic fall coffee shop order that’s as reliable as you, the sea goat. “[Capricorns] tend to improve whatever [you] touch in an understated and classic way,” says Sunday — just like how salted caramel adds a little extra something to a latte.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Toasted Marshmallow Cold Brew
Aquarius people naturally disrupt the status quo; you’re not the type to accept tradition as gospel. Similarly, your fall drink order should be as “out there” as the cerebral air sign. “[Aquarians] wouldn’t be caught dead drinking a PSL and instead crave something more interesting that you won’t find at just any coffee shop,” Sunday says. Your fall drink order: a toasted marshmallow cold brew, which is likely to turn a few heads.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Caramel Apple Pie Cold Brew
You Pisces often have your heads in the clouds, so something decadent like a caramel apple pie cold brew is just your speed. Sure, a cold drink is probably not the first thing that comes to mind for a colder-month coffee drink, but cold brew “gives this classic flavor a more imaginative twist, just like something a Pisces would have dreamed up,” Sunday explains.
