The Fall Starbucks Drink You Are, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
We don't care what the calendar says—most of us can agree that the unofficial start of fall is decided by the beloved mermaid-clad coffee chain itself: Starbucks.
When Starbucks drops its annual fall flavors, the menu shift marks a much bigger change that has us all excited to finally don our favorite sweaters and swap our sandals for this year's best boots. But with a menu packed with so many delectable delights and sippable sweet treats, have you ever stopped to wonder which one might align with your astrological sign? If you haven't, don't worry. We have, and we collected all of them here so that you can find out which fall Starbucks drink you are, based on your zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato
Whether you opt for it iced or hot, the Starbucks Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato is a can't-miss flavor that's become a staple on the fall menu since it was released—much like how Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, makes a can't-miss entrance virtually anywhere they go. The drink itself is a unique combination of flavors that you might not typically think of pairing together, but the extra kick of the espresso and warming apple crisp flavor makes it perfect for this passionate fire sign.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Baked Apple Croissant
Cozy and comforting yet somehow still so luxurious, the Baked Apple Croissant from Starbucks so perfectly emulates the energy of a Taurus. This Earth sign may be born in spring, but their vibe goes well with the overall lovable (and sometimes lazy) feeling of fall, making this baked treat the perfect pairing.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Oleato Golden Foam Cold Brew
While this one may not be an official item from the Starbucks fall menu drop, it's new enough (and divisive enough) that we had to include here for our beloved Geminis. The Oleato line was an immediate conversation starter when it was first released, much like Gemini who can't help but create a buzz wherever they go. The drink itself contains one key ingredient that sets it apart from others on the menu: olive oil. This makes it a huge "love it or hate it" type of item, much as some people have strong similar feelings towards the twins of the zodiac.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte
Sweet, sweet Cancer could only be represented by a drink that's equally as gentle on the palette, which is why we gave them the new Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte. A tea-based drink, this one delivers a softer overall feel as well as the classic pumpkin flavor we know and love, and this has made it as much of a loving crowd-pleaser as Cancers are for the rest of the signs.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Pumpkin Spice Latte
You may have seen this one coming, as it was only fitting that we gave the sign that oozes "main character energy" the one drink that started a whole global craze. Leo simply had to be the one and only Pumpkin Spice Latte, as it's a classic that you can't miss whenever you see it on a menu in the same way that you can't miss a Leo when they enter any room. Some people can find Leo's look at me energy a bit "much," just as some find PSLs to be the same (but we say keep doing you, Leo, just like the latte you've got fans everywhere).

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): Pumpkin Loaf
Is there anything that provides more comfort than biting into a warmed Pumpkin Loaf fresh from the Starbucks bakery section? We think not, and the item also works hard when you need a snack to settle your cravings. That's why we gave it to hardworking, streamlined and overall well-organized Virgo, as we think the delightful bite is similarly balanced and always there when you need it.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 23): Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
Well-balanced, aesthetically focused Libras are always the first to try a new trend, which is why we couldn't help but pair them with the new Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. It's a unique blend of flavors that's a little less in-your-face on the sweetness of the Macchiato version, and the fact that it's perfectly Instagrammable makes it extra worthy of being assigned to our Libra friends.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
Broody, mysterious Scorpio could only be paired with a drink that's equally strong in terms of both taste and caffeine count. After all, cold brew coffees from Starbucks certainly don't skip out on the kick of caffeine, but the depth makes them almost as mysterious as the infamous scorpions of the zodiac.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin
Adventurous and zesty, Sagittarius was the perfect choice to fit the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin from Starbucks. Plus, it's a great treat to grab on the go, which we know travel-loving Sagittarians are sure to appreciate.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Americano With One Pump Pumpkin
Not an official menu item, we know, but would you expect any less from a straightforward, no-frills sign like Capricorn? An Americano provides a good amount of caffeine and a strong espresso flavor, but the single pump of pumpkin flavor adds the extra layer of sweetness that so many people forget that Capricorns are capable of.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Owl Cake Pop
"Normal" and "average" are not exactly words that anyone would use to describe Aquarius, which is why we had to give them an item that's just a little outside of the ordinary (just like them). The purple Owl Cake Pop from Starbucks is a sweet treat like no other, and we think it's a good fit for the often-misunderstood air sign.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Pumpkin Spice Creme Frappuccino
Sweet, dreamy Pisces is worthy of a drink that's equally so, and we think the Pumpkin Spice Creme Frappuccino is the pick for them. It's free from coffee or espresso, yet it offers the same comforting feeling of pumpkin spice that you'll get from other flavors. While its sweetness level may not be for everyone, it's one that's loved by those who know how to appreciate it (as Pisces is as well).
