We use astrology to help us determine a lot of things in our lives, from how our kids might misbehave based on their sign to what make up we should wear — so why not use it as a way to determine which chocolate sweets we should buy for others…and ourselves?
We’ve often sat down to read our horoscopes with a chocolate bar in hand anyway, and if we’re being honest, we think astrology is an even better pairing with chocolate than wine.
It’s also a great way to prepare a thoughtful gift for a friend or loved one — instead of gifting them with a plain old drug store chocolate sampler, seek out something special that matches their sign. It will show that you put some effort into their gift, and who knows — not that it’s the point, but it could lead to you getting some star sign-approved chocolate for yourself down the line.
