It's a beautiful thing when the heavens and your perfect soda align, so next time you're in the mood for a sugary, fizzy beverage, take a cue from the stars.
These celestial combos are bound to give you some next-level soda satisfaction.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Fiery Sagittarius loves to be the center of attention and isn't afraid to color outside the lines. Being bold is second nature to this powerful astrological sign, which is why they need a soda that can stand up to their colossal personality. Sagittarians move quickly, don't have time for the drama, and like traditional things with just a little bit of an edge. If you're a Sagittarius, chances are that run-of-the-mill sodas just don't do it for you, which is why Moxie Original Elixir is a great pick.
Moxie Original Elixir debuted in 1884 as a "nerve food," and has been quenching thirst and kicking butt ever since. It's root beer with a slightly bitter tang — the perfect draught for any Sagittarius on the go. Plus, you can't beat the bright orange and blue bottle with the original Moxie man on it. Just like any good Sagittarius, it's clear that he means business.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorns know how to work hard — and play even harder. If you want a project done to the letter, on time, and delivered with a smile, give it to a Capricorn. Their time management skills are on point, and they know exactly how to allocate their resources. Capable Capricorns tend to be generous and sweet, but don't let their pleasant veneer fool you. Beneath the surface, Caps are shrewd and know their worth, and they aren't afraid to work to get what they want.
America's Sweetheart and ultimate Capricorn Dolly Parton is a great example of someone who built an empire with grace and class. We shouldn't be surprised. After all, that's just what Capricorns do! When it's time to kick back with a cold one, Stewart's Cream Soda is the ideal sip for Capricorns. It's the perfect blend of sweetness, class, and power, just like them.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius might sound like a water sign, but it's actually one of the prominent air signs in the zodiac. Altruistic Aquarians have a true humanitarian bent. Caring about their fellow people comes second nature to them, and they're always looking for ways to better humankind. With the perfect balance of sweetness and sassiness, Aquarius's aren't afraid to fight for what's right, and they always root for the underdog.
Supporting good corporate citizens makes sense to Aquarius, which is why Pepsi's Canada Dry Ginger Ale hits the sweet soda spot like no other. Pepsi's philanthropic arm supports clean water initiatives and food sustainability all over the world, blending perfectly with Aquarius' mission to make the world a better place. Plus, is there anything on the planet that can quench our thirst and satisfy our nostalgia like an ice-cold Canada Dry? It's just about the perfect drink, for the perfect sign.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces love to blur the distinction between fantasy and reality. These ethereal water signs love all things unique and are incredibly creative, intuitive, and imaginative. If you're a Pisces, there's a good chance that you spent a lot of your childhood, and maybe even adulthood, coming up with elaborate fantasies and other worlds. Pisces are also very empathetic and emotional. They tend to care for others in tough times, but when a Pisces wants to tap into their own self-care, a Jones Root Beer Cane Sugar Soda fits the bill nicely.
Although Jones is known for some bizarre flavor combinations, especially around the holidays, they also do right by the classics. Their Root Beer Cane Sugar Soda is a traditional riff on classic root beer with a slight twist that will appeal to Pisces' love of the unconventional and creative. It's a true treat that any whimsical Pisces will absolutely adore.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
For ambitious Aries, your standard soda just won't do. These brave, optimistic powerhouses of the zodiac tend to blaze their own paths and aren't afraid to call people out if they need correction. Represented by the ram, Aries is not a sign you want to mess with. They're fire signs that never shrink from a challenge, and the word "timid" is not in their vocabulary. What makes Aries such a force to be reckoned with is the fact that unlike other fire signs (looking at you, Leo), they look before they leap.
Orangina is a tropical soda/juice hybrid that speaks to Aries' boldness and is the perfect aromatic sip for any ram on the go. Unlike other citrusy soda offerings, Orangina isn't too sweet. Instead, you get all of the carbonation of a soda with a big juicy punch of fresh fruit juice for huge flavor in every bottle.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus is the ultimate earth sign, and people lucky enough to be born under this cluster of stars understand how to remain grounded and stick to their principles. People born under this sign are often misunderstood because they don't shy away from taking all of their time to make important decisions and come across as stubborn, but the reality is, Tauruses just know what they want and are willing to wait for it. Prominent Taureans like Queen Elizabeth have fairly standard dining routines, relying on classic, elegant combos to get them through the day.
Whether or not you're royalty, sodas with traditional flavors and a high-end twist will appeal to just about any Taurus. Rainier Cherry Botanical Bubbly is a great option, full of juicy cherry, bright bubbles, and deeply nuanced flavors. It's a sophisticated sparkling soda that genuinely speaks to Taurus' desire to appreciate the finest things in life.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Geminis are one of the most polarizing zodiac signs — literally and figuratively. The famous twins can be either endearing or infuriating, depending on what day you happen to catch them on, or if you've had the bad luck to get on the wrong side of the Gemini in question. At their best, Geminis are one of the most charismatic and intelligent signs, exuding confidence and charm anywhere they go. Invite a Gemini to a get-together and it's guaranteed to become the party of the century.
Since Geminis get bored easily and love to immerse themselves in the unexpected, they need a soda that will stand up to their larger-than-life personalities. No standard soda will do, which is why AVEC Jalapeño and Blood Orange soda is the best blend for thirsty Geminis. The fun interplay of spicy jalapeño and sweet blood orange fits in perfectly with their own double nature.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancers are loyal and conscientious, easily one of the most intuitive and trustworthy signs. You can always depend on them to do what they say they will, and then some. Known for their creativity and health consciousness, you can probably find your friendly neighborhood Cancer flexing their creative muscles at an art studio or perfecting their downward dog at outdoor yoga. But, as with many of the most trustworthy and loyal zodiac signs, you don't want to get on the wrong side of a Cancer. Their undying love can flip in a New York minute, and you won't know what hit you!
Since Cancers tend to pay a lot of attention to their health, standard sodas probably aren't their thing. Fortunately, Cancers can have their sugary flavor and prebiotics, too, thanks to Poppi Orange soda. Poppi sodas are packed with prebiotics for top-notch gut health and a sweet blast of flavor.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Leos are the undisputed kings and queens of the zodiac. These generous and charming individuals always command the spotlight, and while their drama might be a little over the top sometimes, they're generally the lives of the party. Leos are known for having hearts the size of their personalities and tend to have a big group of friends in their orbit. Leos always seem to know where the action is, and they will gladly share their resources with you if it means that everyone will have a good time.
Since Leos are perennially popular and always the stars of the show, it's only fitting that the world's most popular soda is their perfect sip. Coca-Cola's classic formula hits the spot and is one of the most coveted recipes on the planet, next to KFC's signature chicken. It's a soda suitable for royalty, so it's the only true option for a Leo.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgos are the earth children of the zodiac. They tend to have a deep connection with the planet, and the sign is traditionally associated with agriculture and fertility. True to form, Virgos are grounded, practical, and proactive. They are gentle people who prefer to surround themselves with a smaller group of friends. Their compassion and attention to detail means that they're the perfect people to plan family vacations and events. You're lucky if you have a Virgo in your corner, because you'll never have to worry about a thing.
Since Virgos are so in tune with the world, Faygo Original Redpop is just the right thing to quench their thirst. With a bright strawberry taste and classic flavors, this soda is ideal for recharging one's batteries. Plus, you can't beat the classic design. Of course, Faygo has other fruit-inspired options, too, like orange and grape, if you want to switch it up.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libra's scales keep this sign in perfect balance. Most Libras operate with the ultimate goal of maintaining harmony, balancing their extroversion with a good dose of humility. This quality makes them one of the easiest signs to get along with. You will always know where you stand with a Libra, no matter what! Libras are famous for diplomacy, grace, and their uncanny powers of persuasion. This air sign knows how to make everyone in a room feel heard and comfortable.
It's no surprise that Libra's ideal soda mixes two classic flavors: peaches and cream. Rocky Mountain Soda Company's Peaches and Cream is an unexpected but totally delightful concoction that combines two sweet flavors in a fun and delicious treat. It's also a bit of an out-of-the-box combination that appeals to Libra's need for exceptional pairings along with that ever-important harmony. So pick up a pack for the best air sign in your life.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Fabulous Scorpios are the jet-setters of the zodiac. People who fall under this star sign tend to be luxe, mysterious, and bold. Scorpios are equal parts passionate and loyal, and they love flexing their creative muscles. Although Scorpios might seem closed-off at first, they tend to open up to those they trust. If a Scorpio isn't afraid to get a little vulnerable and real with you, you know that you have a true friend for life.
Since Scorpios have a flair for the dramatic and always like to have the best of everything, ordinary sodas don't cut the mustard. Instead, they need a sophisticated brew to satisfy their appetites, which is why Casamara Club's Onda Wild Lemon is a dynamic pick that fits the drink bill perfectly. You won't find this high-end blend at your run-of-the-mill soda fountain, which is precisely why it will appeal to just about any true Scorpio.
