Sun Signs and Picnics

Everyone enjoys a picnic, whether this is a spontaneous and fun activity to share with the family or a planned day out in the summer. What are the favourite places for picnics for each zodiac sign? How might they fill their picnic hamper? Here’s a fun look at picnic ideas for each Sun Sign.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Your perfect picnic area will be wherever there is activity and lots of interesting things going on. You won’t mind picnicking at sports venues and you prefer to choose from a variety of places. You will rarely visit the same picnic spot again. Like-minded friends are welcome to come along. Encourage fellow picnickers to join in with outdoor games; food will be anything that’s quick and easy to prepare! Whatever the weather you will make the most of it as you’re out to have fun!

Taurus (Apr21/May21) You’ve always liked things to be organized and before going off on a picnic you will prefer to make a checklist to know everything has been planned perfectly and nothing can go wrong. The countryside is the place you will want to be where you can enjoy woodland walks with your family followed by a picnic in places where you can rest and observe nature all around you. Include cakes as you’ve always had a sweet tooth and a bottle of wine should round the picnic off, nicely.

Gemini (May22/June21) Picnicking is one of your favourite summer pastimes. It’s a great opportunity for a change of scene while enjoying activities with friends. You aren’t fussy about the venue; the chance to explore different localities satisfies your love of variety. Your choice of food will be different every time depending on your mood. Maybe sandwiches, pork pies and sausages on a stick one day and scones with strawberries, jam and clotted cream another! You love your picnics to be full of little surprises.

Cancer (June22/July23) Being at the seaside where you can get creative and build sandcastles with the children, enjoy beach sports with family and friends or just paddle in the sea is the perfect picnic location for you. Failing that, picnicking by a river or lake is another great option. You will have your hamper packed full of goodies to cater for everyone’s taste. Plenty sandwiches, salad, cheese, pies and nibbles. Don’t forget the folding chairs, rugs and other accessories that will make you feel quite at home in a picnic setting.

Leo (July24/Aug23) You have a hearty appetite and food is one of the most important things you will consider for your day’s outing. You work hard, you play hard and you will want to reward yourself by going out of your way to please your palate. A buffet with a magnificent selection of salads and fabulous desserts will guarantee there’s something for everyone. You want to make your picnic a day to remember and for that reason you will choose special locations with dramatic scenery.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23) You love to be close to nature and a picnic by waterfalls, on the top of a mountain enjoying panoramic views or in a forest park are just some of the venues you’d be happy to choose from. Quiet, private spots suit you best and you won’t want too many people with you. You might prefer coronation chicken, scotch eggs and pork pies to sandwiches. Dessert will be fresh strawberries, fruit tarts or light pastries. You will make your food as simple or as adventurous as the occasion permits.

Libra (Sept24/Oct23) You will want everyone to join you on your picnic, in fact the more the merrier. As long as there is a lot of company around you, you will be happy. Ruled by Venus you like everything to be ‘just right’ and you will prefer good china to paper plates on those occasions when you really want to treat yourself. You might choose a shaded grove where you can picnic among trees or a scenic spot within the grounds of a stately home. The Sun has to be shining!

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) A day at the beach, a walk in the woods, a favourite spot by a river where you like to swim are just some of your ideal picnic moments. You aren’t fussy about your choice of food; if you’ve got time you will spend hours preparing a variety of tasty dishes. If you’re in a rush, you might throw together some peanut butter sandwiches and a few tubs of jelly for the children. What’s important is that you all enjoy your day and make the most of your outdoor capers.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You’re a huge fan of just throwing together a selection of goodies, grabbing a blanket to throw on the grass and heading for the hills. A mix of food jumbled together in a smorgasbord sort of way will delight you and anyone who wants to join you. There will be nothing planned or organized about your picnics and that’s what makes them so much fun. You love being outdoors, whatever the weather.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You might prefer your picnic to be full of health foods: plenty vegetables, salad, roasted chicken breasts, followed by a selection of fruit. There will be just enough for everyone so it might be tricky trying to cater for friends who might tag along at the last moment. You will choose quiet, private places well away from touristy areas. There’s something idyllic too about dining in the fresh air while watching a glorious sunset.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) If you’re the one organizing a picnic you might turn it into a mystery, refusing to reveal the venue until you get there. A magical mystery tour will appeal to friends and family; you will always offer something unique. You cleverly combine a variety of ingredients including choice of location, food and company, activities to make the day enjoyable for anyone who’s invited and even for the gatecrashers too! You always add that personal touch to make your picnics something special.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You might enjoy picnicking in open-air music concerts, spending a day at the beach, or lazing on the soft green grass at the edge of a lake. Picnicking under the stars appeals to your romantic side. Since your tastes change throughout the day you will include an assortment of food in your picnic hamper. Rice and pasta, salads, cold poached salmon, quiches, cheese and crackers for instance. Once you find a favourite picnic spot, you will return, time and time again.
