The McDonald's Meal You Are Based On Your Zodiac Sign
No matter where you are in the world, there is absolutely no possibility that you haven't heard of McDonald's. It's one of the most popular fast food chains across the entire world, so few are able to say they've never tried a Chicken McNugget or a red box of their salty fries. As of today, the restaurant chain has over 36,000 restaurants in more than 100 nations, with most of its establishments finding ground in the U.S., where McDonald's originated. As this iconic burger chain has grown, so has its extensive and cost-friendly menu of food and beverages.
With such a varied menu of meals, deals, and treats McDonald's has to offer, you may find yourself staring at the menu for a decent amount of time before coming to a hastily-made decision. So next time you find yourself in the drive-thru lane, why not make a McDonald's meal choice based on your zodiac sign? Whether you were born an Aries or a Sagittarius, there's something for everyone on this list. The next time you head to McD's, you'll be able to come to a quick decision, and order a meal that suits your sign's tastes.
Aries
The first sign of the zodiac lineup is Aries. Aries are born between March 21 and April 19, and are one of three fire signs. Fire signs are characterized by their energetic and emotional natures. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars, and symbolized by the ram. They are very passionate, and when it comes to new situations, they are some of the most confident and courageous people out there. According to Horocsope.com, Aries are also smart, albeit a bit impulsive. With this impulsiveness, many Aries may also come across as a little too honest and willing to share their opinions.
Some well-known Aries include Lady Gaga, Seth Rogen, and Mariah Carey, who recently collaborated with the fast food chain to offer a McDonald's Mariah Menu over the holiday season. If you're a bold Aries who's up for a taste challenge, we recommend the McDonald's Spicy Chicken Sandwich Combo Meal and an ice cream cone. Aries are one of the most confident signs, and would definitely be unafraid to try anything that has the word "spicy" in the name. They would also have no problems asking the McDonald's employees if the ice cream machine is finally working, and might be rewarded with a frozen treat for their boldness.
Taurus
We all probably have a Taurus in our lives — and if you don't, then you might be the Taurus. Born between April 20 and May 20, Taurus is an earth sign that is ruled by Venus and represented by a bull. Like many other earth signs, Taureans are loyal, stable, and at times, can be pretty stubborn. Practicality is also a dominant trait of this zodiac sign, and according to Horoscope.com, "This searching sign is willing to see another point of view, but they won't flip-flop on an opinion just to make someone else happy." A Taurus will only change their point of view if they really have had a change of opinion.
Some well-known Taureans include John Cena, Dwayne Johnson, David Beckham, and Adele, who recently claimed she eats McDonald's once a week. If you're a Taurus, you'll enjoy a terrific Cheeseburger Combo Meal with an Oreo McFlurry. The combo meal comes with two cheeseburgers, a medium soft drink, and medium french fries, which is a perfect comfort meal for a Taurus. A pair of cheeseburgers and a creamy Oreo McFlurry are a classic, reliable McDonald's combination for a stable, reliable zodiac sign.
Gemini
With such a large menu to look through, you might often find yourself wondering what you should order, especially if you're a Gemini. With birth dates from May 21 to June 20, Gemini is an air sign that comes third in the zodiac sign order. Gemini are intelligent, passionate, and social, with a love for chatting. They are ruled by Mercury, and are symbolized by the mythological Greek twins Castor and Pollux. According to Horoscope.com, a Gemini "never gets stuck in the past and doesn't ruminate on what might have been. Instead, they move forward with glass-half-full optimism and an ability to always look on the bright side." However, many Gemini have more than one side to them, and also can be curious and indecisive.
Some Geminis you may know include Idina Menzel, Johnny Depp, and Kanye West, who actually wrote a poem titled "McDonald's Man." Speaking of McDonald's, the next time a Gemini pulls up to this fast food chain's drive through, they should order a Sausage Burrito, a Blueberry Muffin, and some Orange Juice. Though a Gemini can be a bit indecisive at times, with this, they'll get a little bit of everything, with some meat, fruit, protein, and carbs to round out their McDonald's meal.
Cancer
The first water sign in the zodiac is Cancer, which is symbolized by a crab. As a water sign, Cancer is guided by their thoughts and feelings. Anyone born from June 21 to July 22 falls under this zodiac sign, and is very emotional, to the point that some might consider them psychic. These intuitive individuals are also extremely creative and loyal, and "can often intuit relationships, ideas, and motivations before anyone has actually spoken," according to Horoscope.com. While they can be overwhelmed by large social situations, when a Cancer finds someone they care about, they keep that person close.
Selena Gomez, Arianna Grande, and Lana Del Rey are all Cancers. Chris Pratt, who has a history of working in the restaurant industry, also falls under this zodiac sign. If you're a Cancer who can't decide what to order at McDonald's, we suggest a Crispy Chicken Sandwich Combo meal with a Reese's McFlurry (or Oreo, if you're allergic to peanut butter). A Crispy Chicken Sandwich is a McDonald's item that's made with crispy fried chicken and pickles on a potato roll. This is excellent for any Cancer, who can appreciate the simplicity and amazing taste of this tender chicken sandwich.
Leo
Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, a fire sign with birth dates ranging from July 23 to August 22. Leos are ruled by the sun, and their symbol is none other than the lion. Some traits of many Leos include courage, self-confidence, and a good humor. This zodiac sign also loves to make an impression, and are able to accomplish a significant amount thanks to their ambition, according to Astrology.com. Leos love to be the center of attention, and are enthusiastic, warm-hearted individuals who others love to be around.
Some Leos you may know and love are Jennifer Lopez, Mick Jagger, and Shawn Mendes, who once ordered a Happy Meal at McDonald's after being denied entry into a Dublin pub. If you're a Leo hungry for some fast food, we suggest some classic Chicken McNuggets, fries, and a sweet tea or soda to keep up your enthusiasm. Chicken McNuggets are also easy to share when bought in larger quantities, and as Leos often want to be in the center of a friend group, the perfect way to win anyone's heart is with some good food.
Virgo
Right in the middle of the zodiac signs is Virgo. Virgos are born from August 23 to September 22, and are one of the three earth signs. Ruled by the planet of Mercury, Virgos are intelligent and kind-hearted, noted to be solid friends. Virgos often have an incredible attention to detail, and according to Astrology.com, "Virgo traits are being industrious, methodical, and efficient. The sense of duty borne by these folks is considerable, and it ensures that they will always work for the greater good." Just as a middle child is frequently picked on, Virgos are also poked at for their critical natures, though if you obtain the trust of anyone with this zodiac sign, you'll have a new lifelong friend.
Some famous Virgos that might surprise you include Keanu Reeves, Zendaya, and Jack Black. For any hard-working Virgo such as these individuals, a great McDonald's meal would be a Big Breakfast with Hotcakes and a coffee of any kind. Much like a Capricorn, a Virgo will need a filling, satisfying meal to start their day, and a big breakfast does just that, with the coffee providing a much needed caffeine boost to any Virgo's morning.
Libra
If you know a Libra, then you likely are aware that Libra's are some of the most social, kind, and cooperative people in the world. This air sign is the seventh sign in the zodiac, and was born from September 23 to October 22. A Libra's symbol is a scale, which perfectly reflects their role as the sign of balance. While they may seem like they struggle to make decisions, Libras are the epitome of stability and sociability. They love to be with other people, and Horoscope.com describes them as "Intelligent, kind, and always willing to put others before themselves." If you have a large group of friends, then it's more than likely that one of you is a Libra.
Some notable Libras include Bruno Mars, Snoop Dogg, and Gwen Stefani, who has experience in the fast food industry. Libras would be best off buying a 20-40 piece Chicken McNuggets meal (depending on how many people they're with), a large order of fries, and a couple of chocolate chip cookies. Each of these food items are a bit larger in proportions, which is perfect when any Libra feels the need to share their McDonald's with friends. McNuggets and fries are easily shareable, and the cookies can be split when a Libra wants to give a little something to their close pals.
Scorpio
This next sign is known for their bold and passionate personalities. Scorpios are born from October 23 to November 21, and are the eighth sign of the zodiac. Scorpios are powerful, independent, and extremely assertive people, and will go to great lengths to reach the truth behind anything they feel is important to them. This sign is symbolized by none other than a scorpion, and according to Horoscope.com, Scorpios "aren't afraid of controversy, and won't back down from a debate. They also hate people who aren't genuine, and are all about being authentic." Scorpios are also water signs, meaning that they are one of the three signs that are most in tune with their emotional side.
Some famous Scorpios you might know include Gordon Ramsey, Drake, and Ryan Reynolds, who, with Aviation Gin, toasted the 40th anniversary of the McRib at McDonald's last year. If you're a Scorpio, you might enjoy a Big Mac, a large order of fries, and a sweet cold shake. A Big Mac is a classic, well-known McDonald's menu that will fill up any Scorpio, and match with their headstrong dispositions, while a frozen chocolate or vanilla shake is a great complement to the burger, and just what any Scorpio needs for a treat.
Sagittarius
The final fire sign of the zodiac is the sign of Sagittarius. A Sagittarius is born between November 22 and December 21, and is unafraid to follow their own path. According to Horoscope.com, they are strong-willed, independent, and optimistic. People born under this sign "[aren't] afraid to step away from the pack, and is a natural born leader who goes after what he or she wants." A Sagittarius is also big on reaching a truth, while at the same time, is able to remain open-minded, and keep a secret, when need be.
With this in mind, it is no surprise that many well known actors and singers such as Scarlett Johansson, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift are all Sagittarians. While the entire menu is at one's disposal, we feel that the best McDonald's meal for a creative, high-spirited Sagittarius would be a beefy, juicy McDouble topped with mustard, ketchup, pickles and onions, and to go with the burger, an ice cold Mango Pineapple Smoothie. Even though the sweet, fruity smoothie isn't everyone's first choice, it will quench a Sagittarius's thirst after a great burger, and is a more unique, tropical drink that will stand out from other McDonald's beverages — just like a Sagittarius.
Capricorn
The tenth sign in the zodiac is the sign of Capricorn. A Capricorn's birth date falls between the wintery dates of December 22 and January 19. While some may perceive a Capricorn as stubborn, they are responsible and disciplined, and in a friend group, are the ones with the most self control. You'll often find this earth sign placing themselves in positions that require a certain level of responsibility, and they know how to achieve a desired goal. According to Astrology.com, Capricorns are represented by a sea goat, and are practical, realistic, and determined.
With such a powerful mindset, it should come as no surprise that celebrities such as the well-respected late Betty White, basketball player LeBron James (who, ironically, no longer endorses McDonald's), and Muhammad Ali are all Capricorns. For the ambitious mind of a Capricorn, we'd recommend you start a long day off with a McDonald's Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddle, a coffee, and, if you're in the mood for something sweet, an apple fritter. As a sign with a hard-working mindset, it's important that they have a decent, filling breakfast that gives them energy to pursue their goals. This McDonald's breakfast sandwich has dairy, protein, and carbs, while the caffeine of the coffee will keep a Capricorn alert and ready for whatever tasks lay before them.
Aquarius
The next sign we have a great McDonald's meal for is Aquarius. If you were born from January 20 to February 18, then you fall under this sign. Aquarius is one of three air signs, which are perceived to be more thoughtful and logical than the other signs. As per Astrology-Zodiac Signs, people under the sign of Aquarius are defined by their individualistic, original and progressive personalities. They are a bit more introverted, and appreciate a bit of time to themselves, but are highly adaptable.
Some famous Aquarians you might know include Harry Styles, who is known for his simple iced tea order when going through a McDonald's drive through, and Michael Jordan, who had his own special meal and was also featured in a McDonald's commercial in 1987. For an Aquarius, we recommend a Quarter Pounder with cheese and bacon, with the addition of the bacon being a delicious twist on an already tasty burger. Along with the burger, we suggest large fries, and of course, an iced tea or other beverage of choice. This McDonald's meal is perfect for satisfying the eccentric mind of an Aquarius, and the pickles, ketchup, mustard, and all of the other extra toppings on the Quarter Pounder make for an excellent burger for a hungry air sign.
Pisces
The final sign we have on this list is none other than Pisces. Anyone born between February 19 and March 20 falls under this sign. This water sign is known as being compassionate, creative, and intelligent. They are represented by two fish swimming in a circle. According to Horoscope.com, Pisces "feel things deeply, and have incredibly strong gut reactions." They flourish in small groups of people, and are incredibly imaginative. Pisces also tend to love of music and art, and are described as one of the more creative signs of the bunch.
Singers Justin Bieber and Adam Levine were both born under the sign of Pisces, which fits the trope of Pisceans being in tune with their artistic side. Funnily enough, it has been reported that Adam Levine took his first dates to McDonald's. If you're a Pisces, you may enjoy a Crispy Chicken Sandwich, a cookie, and a soda of choice. A Pisces will be able to truly appreciate the tender and juicy Southern-style chicken, and a sweet chocolate chip cookie will help spark creativity in the wonderfully artistic and imaginative mind of this water sign.
