14 Adventurous Recipes for the Sagittarius in Your Life

It’s Sagittarius season, and you know what that means: It’s time for the ever-wandering, travel-loving, adrenaline-chasing Sagittarians in our lives to celebrate their special time of the year. Sagges are known for their love of the exotic and the adventurous, which is why they’re often swooping off to other parts of the globe to get their travel fix (and enjoy some curry recipes while they’re at it). Classic recipes won’t do it for these Archers. Their physicality is important to them too, so they’ll be drawn to healthy, fresh ingredients with lots of exotic appeal and spicy flavors. Here are 14 recipes to serve your favorite Sagittarius at her (or his) birthday bash.

1. Brazilian Braised Pork in Passion Fruit, Orange and Guajillo Peppers: Paleo-friendly AND exotic? This dish has Sagittarius written all over it. You’ll need to set aside about four hours for braising, but this delicious dish is TOTALLY worth it. (via Kevin Is Cooking)

2. Thai Red Curry Recipe With Vegetables: Like we said, Sagges *love* themselves some curry, and this veg-friendly recipe will be right up their alley. It’s richly flavored with coconut oil, ginger, garlic, bell peppers, kale and an array of spices for ultimate flavor. (via Cookie and Kate)

3. Spicy Indonesian Street Cart Noodles With Vegan Chicken: This vegan recipe will drum up the sights and sounds of walking through a crowded Indonesian street market — just the kind of thing a Sagittarius loves. You can use whatever noodle you choose here, but we recommend keeping it authentic and going with some kind of rice or egg noodle. (via Delightful-Delicious-Delovely)

4. Berebere Chicken With Ethiopian Lentils: Berebere is an authentic Ethiopian spice mix that will warm you to your toes and add a TON of flavor to your dishes. This particular recipe calls for rubbing it on chicken and serving over healthy spiced lentils. (via Feasting at Home)

5. Banh Mi Pizza: Nothing pleases the ever-changing tastes of the Sagittarius like fusion food. This AMAZING pizza isn’t topped with tomato sauce and pepperoni (that would be *far* too traditional). Instead, it showcases the ingredients of a Banh Mi sammie — that is, pickled veggies, fried egg, pork and spicy sauce. (via Half Baked Harvest)

6. Moussaka: Just because Sagges generally like to eat healthily doesn’t mean they’re unwilling to splurge on some comfort food. Just don’t make it boring. This lamb-and-eggplant Greek moussaka recipe is exotic comfort food at its finest. (via The Mediterranean Dish)

7. Ethiopian Black Eyed Pea Dip: This Ethiopian recipe also makes use of berbere spice. Black eyed peas and chickpeas constitute the dip, while lemon, hemp oil and coconut milk (as well as the spices) add tons of flavor. (via Chronicles of Passion)

8. Jamaican Oxtail Stew: Oxtail is a delicious cut of meat that becomes SUPER tender after about two to three hours of braising. In this recipe, it’s accompanied by butter beans and a plethora of spices for a warm, hearty, healthy and unique taste that a Sagittarian will love. (via African Bites)

9. Korean Bulgogi and Kimchi Nachos: Yes, you read that right: These nachos are topped with kimchi! These Korean-Mexican bites are *so* good, you won’t want to stop eating them. Pro tip: Top with sour cream (or, for a healthier alternative, Greek yogurt) for added flavor. (via Closet Cooking)

10. Fresh Dungeness Crab With Three Dipping Sauces: Sagges crave freedom and change, so giving them THREE different sauce options will be much appreciated. This delectable crab recipe can be accompanied by curry mustard, avocado wasabi or garlic butter. Or, if we know Sagittarius, some of each. (via La Crema)

11. African Chicken and Peanut Stew: This warm, hearty stew is slightly spicy and, lucky for us, very peanut-y. Serve it with rice, or skip the grains altogether for a lower-carb meal. (via Kitchen Sanctuary)

12. Bobotie: Bobotie is a traditional (and super yummy) South African meat dish. It’s basically a meat pie topped with curry sauce — and we don’t know about you, but that concept sounds pretty darn AMAZING. Bonus points for serving rice and mashed pumpkin on the side. (via Anina’s Recipes)

13. Pineapple Coconut Cashew Rice: This Hawaiian rice creation is light, fresh and healthy… not to mention *popping* with bright, sweet flavor. Serve it with chicken or fish to take a metaphysical trip to a sunny beach with your favorite Sagittarius. (via Carlsbad Cravings)

14. Hawaiian Ahi Poke: Speaking of Hawaiian eats, this ahi tuna bowl is light, healthy and totally delicious. Pro tip you won’t want to skip: Be sure to buy sushi-grade tuna if you’re planning to eat raw fish. (via Contemplating Sweets)

The month begins with Mercury stationing direct on April 7, lifting the mental fog and restoring our ability to make clear, confident decisions. Plans that once felt delayed now begin to move, and fresh ideas take shape. Keep a Tiger’s Eye crystal nearby — it strengthens focus and mental stamina, ensuring you stay grounded as you organize your thoughts. Journaling with a gold or yellow candle burning beside you can amplify insights, helping you map out the next steps with clarity and intention.

By April 12, the Full Moon in Libra paired with Venus stationing direct shifts the focus to love, harmony, and balance. This lunation illuminates relationship dynamics, inviting epiphanies and closure where needed. This full moon is about healing and recalibrating the heart, releasing past heartbreak, mending a connection, or stepping into newfound independence. The color green serves as a powerful ally now — wear it, light green candles, or spend time in nature to activate the heart chakra and promote emotional renewal. Holding rose quartz during meditation can help soothe old wounds and open space for self-love and deeper connections.

As the Sun enters Taurus on April 19, the intense fiery momentum finds an anchor. Taurus season invites patience, stability, and intentional growth.

Taking a barefoot walk in nature or placing your hands on the earth can help channel Taurus’s stabilizing energy.

April 27 brings a powerful New Moon in Taurus, marking a moment for deep manifestation work. This lunation encourages us to blend practicality with passion, turning dreams into reality through tangible action. To invite prosperity, smudge your space with Palo Santo to clear stagnant energy, then set intentions by writing them on paper and placing them under a green candle or a Citrine crystal. Taurus energy reminds us that true manifestation isn’t just about wishing — it’s about laying the foundation for what we desire.

As the month comes to a close, Venus re-enters Aries on April 30, reigniting passion, confidence, and desire. Whether it’s in love, creativity, or personal goals, this transit encourages boldness and direct action.

Get ready for this week's weeklyhoroscope, because Aries season just got a whole lot more interesting. Not only is the Sun still blazing in this fiery sign, but we're welcoming Neptune into the Aries party – and trust me, this is a game-changer. Think less daydreaming, more doing. This week's astro-weather is all about turning those big, beautiful visions into tangible realities, not just for us, but for the whole planet. Get ready to channel your inner warrior for good, because the universe is giving us the green light to make some serious magic happen. Let's dive into your weekly horoscope!

Scroll to see your zodiac sign's weekly horoscope for March 30-April 5, 2025.

Taryn Archambault

This weekly horoscope is all about Aries— not only because the Sun is in Aries, but because Neptune has just entered the sign. Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, embodies peace and ethereal wisdom, while Aries is bold, courageous, and a warrior. This shift presents a powerful opportunity: instead of just dreaming of a more just and equal world, we can take real steps toward making it a reality—not only for humanity but for all species and ecosystems. It’s a big task, but history offers inspiration. The last time Neptune entered Aries, in 1864, the International Red Cross was founded to provide aid to war-wounded soldiers, regardless of which side they fought for. That altruistic mission has endured for 161 years.

Neptune spends roughly 14 years in each sign, shaping the collective outlook of an entire generation. Moving from Pisces, the zodiac’s final and most intuitive sign, into Aries, the first and most action-oriented sign, marks the start of a new cycle. While Neptune may take time to adjust to Aries’ fiery energy, we have an opportunity to manifest the highest potential of this pairing—using Aries’ drive to actively pursue Neptune’s vision of peace.

This week also brings other planetary movements that support positive action. On April 4, Saturn sextiles Uranus, blending Saturn’s discipline with Uranus’ inventive, out-of-the-box thinking. This energy encourages us to take calculated risks and work hard toward meaningful goals, transforming chaos into order.

Mallory Vandervelde

Adding to the momentum, Mars sextiles Uranus on the same day. This alignment delivers an extra push to innovate, experiment, and pursue what makes us feel free and authentic. Trust your instincts—if there’s a move you’ve been considering to bring more fulfillment into your life, this is a great time to make it happen.

On April 6, Venus trines Mars, blending love and beauty with action and drive. These two planets will continue this harmonious dance for months, sparking creativity and passion. It’s a great time to expand social activities and embrace the fresh, inviting energy of spring. Assertiveness and affection will be well-balanced, making it easier to connect with new people and strengthen existing relationships. Advocate for yourself and take charge of your life.

It may feel like you’re the only competent one, and doing everything yourself seems easier than waiting for others to catch up. However, be cautious—this can lead to resentment. Instead, evaluate your role within your group or community. You are a natural leader, so set boundaries and teach others rather than shouldering all the work. Empowering others lightens your load and strengthens your influence.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

This may be a confusing period. Ask yourself: does your outward persona truly reflect who you are? Reflect on the different aspects of your personality and whether you’ve been limiting yourself. Explore new interests beyond your daily routine. You might find that career ambitions shift once you connect with other facets of yourself. Avoid impulsive decisions; instead, organize your life to accommodate both stability and growth.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Trust the universe and your intuition. Let go of ego-driven desires, power struggles, and the need to control. Mystical insights will emerge when you surrender to the flow. Explore art, culture, or travel to broaden your horizons. Seek out experiences that challenge and expand your understanding of the world. Engaging with diverse perspectives will lead to exciting and meaningful interactions.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

You are entering a deeply introspective and spiritual phase. Peel back the layers of ego, dive into your subconscious, and strengthen your connection to the cosmos. This period offers a chance for self-transformation, leading to a more peaceful, authentic version of yourself. Establish rituals that nurture your higher self. However, don’t neglect daily responsibilities—especially financial matters, which require extra attention now.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Clear, direct communication is crucial, particularly in your relationships. Honesty and transparency will serve you best. If conflicts arise, practice Nonviolent Communication (as taught by Marshall Rosenberg). Keep your eyes open and scrutinize agreements carefully—have contracts reviewed by a professional before signing. Take a cautious, discerning approach in your interactions until intentions become clear.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Listen to your body’s signals. Seasonal transitions can make you more susceptible to illness, so prioritize self-care. Strengthen your immune system with healthy habits. You may also be more sensitive to substances like alcohol or processed foods—moderation is key. Your heightened intuition will guide you when assessing new opportunities; trust your instincts and be wary of anything that sounds too good to be true.

Brit + Co

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You are entering an exceptionally creative phase. Push beyond your current perceptions of what creativity means to you. Experiment with new methods and techniques while ensuring that the process remains enjoyable. Inspiration can strike from unexpected places, so stay open. However, avoid speculative risks for now. Instead, channel this ethereal energy into artistic and imaginative pursuits.

Brit + Co

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

The comfort of home may be especially appealing, but ask yourself whether you’re using it as an escape. If so, redirect that energy into creative activities that soothe your soul, such as gardening, tending to your houseplants or growing kitchen herbs. Establish meaningful rituals to connect with your inner self. If emotions feel overwhelming, seek guidance from a counselor or trusted advisor to gain perspective.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Communication requires extra care. Before expressing heartfelt emotions or presenting ideas, take time to clarify your thoughts. Negotiations are especially delicate—pay close attention to details, and seek legal counsel before signing agreements. This is also an excellent period for writing or refining creative projects. Diligence will pay off, allowing you to produce some of your most compelling work.

Brit + Co

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Be mindful with finances and possessions. If something promises quick riches, be skeptical. You may feel slightly disoriented, so detach from rigid expectations. Approach material matters with a spiritual mindset—do your belongings bring joy and elevate your energy? Take time to assess what truly adds value to your life and let go of anything that no longer serves you.

After only two episodes of Only Murders in the Building season 4, Hulu renewed the series for season 5! I'm so excited that the show breaks a recent pattern of cancelling shows after the third or fourth season, giving us more time with our favorite characters, and I'm not the only one.

"Here we go again… my favorite set family. I’m coming home!" Selena Gomez says in an Instagram post, while the official Only Murders account made their own post, saying, "We had our lawyers call business affairs. Turned the 4 into a 5. #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding is coming back for Season 5!!"

In addition to the show entering production, the one and only Renée Zellweger (Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy) just joined the cast. Iconic!

Here's everything you need to know about Only Murders in the Building season 5, coming to Hulu soon.

Who's in the Only Murders in the Building season 5 cast?

The Only Murders in the Building season 5 cast features all our favorites, and some new faces! According to Dan Fogelman, “we can expect more big guest stars that’ll probably be announced sooner rather than later,” he tells The Wrap.

"I am so grateful that I have been surrounded by human beings that make me better, challenge me, remind me day after day that every moment is a gift," Selena Gomez says about working with Steve Martin and Martin Short. "That’s my pure joy. I thank god for the era I’m in. It’s been the best yet."

The Only Murders season 5 cast includes:

  • Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora: a true crime lover who begins her own podcast after getting sucked into a murder mystery.
  • Martin Short as Oliver Putnam: a theatre director and founder of the Only Murders in the Building podcast.
  • Steve Martin as Charles Hayden Savage: an actor and true crime lover who begins the Only Murders podcast with Oliver and Mabel.
  • Téa Leoni as Sofia Caccimelio: a woman who approaches the podcast trio after her husband Nicky goes missing.
  • Renée Zellweger
  • Christoph Waltz
  • Keegan-Michael Key

What is Only Murders in the Building season 5 about?

Patrick Harbron/Disney

We finally got our first details about Only Murders season 5 — and we're going in a direction I totally didn't expect. When Sofia visits Mabel and Charles in the season 4 ending, and asks them to find her missing husband, she's disappointed when they turn her down. And since Téa Leoni just joined the season 5 cast, it looks like she's not taking no for an answer.

“I think she’s the great tease at the end of the finale and a little bit of an intriguing bump forward,” co-creator John Hoffman says in an interview with Deadline. “She’s an extension of the little news report in Episode 9 that Mabel makes note of at the hospital. [Sofia] is the wife of the Dry Cleaning King of Brooklyn, and maybe a couple of dry cleaning outlets in Manhattan, as well, we may come to know...It’s a world opened up potentially that we haven’t talked about too much yet in New York, so she holds a lot of intrigue.”

Patrick Harbron/Hulu

New York's underground is a wild space that we haven't really seen on Only Murders yet so I know we're in for one very interesting season — because if this show is going to go there, they're going to go there.

Executive producer Dan Fogelman told The Wrapwe can look forward to “another big fun mystery the writers have been cooking up," while Hoffman has gone on the record saying the new episodes will “hit on some very current things going on within New York, specifically very relevant things that are happening in the city right now.”

When is Only Murders in the Building season 5 coming out?

Patrick Harbron/Hulu

There's no Only Murders in the Building season 5 release date quite yet, but the show is in production! Considering we've had a new season over the last four years (with season 1 in 2021, season 2 in 2022, season 3 in 2023, and season 4 in 2024), we're expecting to see season 5 in 2025. Stay tuned for the official Only Murders season 5 release date.

How many episodes are there in Only Murders in the Building season 5?

Patrick Harbron/Hulu

Only Murders in the Building season 5 will have 10 episodes total on Hulu.

You've likely spent your whole life promising yourself that you'd never turn into your parents, cringing at their music taste, fashion choices, and insistence that you'll "understand one day when you're older."

Well, unfortunately, science says otherwise. The quirks, habits, and even opinions you swore you'd never adopt are part of your biology and just waiting for the right time to surface.

In fact, research suggests there are seven scientific reasons you'll end up more like your parents than you'd probably care to admit. Let's dive in.

Scroll to find out the reasons you'll actually turn out just like your parents, based on science...

1. New Music Will No Longer Bring Joy

Tima Miroshnichenko

Whether you grew up in the age of records, CDs, or iPods, discovering new music is always a thrill when you're young. At the same time, the "old" tunes your parents blast in the car seem stale, and they probably scoff at whatever music you choose to listen to.

Yet, as time goes by, something strange happens. The latest chart-toppers will begin to sound like noise, and you'll find yourself defending the music you grew up listening to, claiming it's way better than what younger generations are enjoying now.

Science has an explanation for this shift. As we get older, our brains process dopamine, or the chemical that makes music exciting, less efficiently. That means the songs you once obsessed over still hit you hard, but new ones just don't spark the same joy.

2. Rebellion Won't Be Appealing Anymore

Polina Tankilevitch

When you're a teenager, it's practically a rite of passage to be rebellious. Rules seem like they're made to be broken, and anything from sneaking out to defying authority figures at school feels like fair game.

However, you won't always be so bold. That's because, as your brain matures, the rebellious streak that once fueled the late nights and questionable decisions of your teenage years and twenties will fade. The same neurological shifts that make teens impulsive begin to mellow out with age, resulting in an increased sense of empathy and responsibility.

So, when you see some newly licensed teens racing down the road in their first car or egging houses on Halloween, you'll eventually start to shake your head at the recklessness, just like your parents.

3. Previously Boring Things Will Bring You Satisfaction

The idea of cleaning out the garage or tending to the garden on a Saturday probably sounds like a boring nightmare to most teenagers. At that point in our lives, our activities were driven by excitement and chasing instant gratification or an "adrenaline" rush.

Yet, as we mature, those previously "boring" hobbies start to feel, well, satisfying. While teenagers crave high-reward and low-effort activities, older adult brains begin to prioritize long-term fulfillment over fleeting joy or excitement.

That's why, out of nowhere, you may suddenly appreciate slower weekend mornings, organizing the bathroom on your day off, and spending hours picking out home decor.

4. You Won't Be Able To Sleep In

Sleeping until noon feels like a basic human right (and quite easy) during your teens or twenties. And back then, when you rolled out of bed in your pajamas halfway through the day, your parents might've called you lazy.

Contrary to popular belief, the shift toward earlier wake-up times in adulthood isn't about discipline; it's biology. Teenagers' bodies naturally produce melatonin later, making it harder for them to wake up early.

Then, as you age, your internal clock gradually changes, making it much tougher to sleep in, regardless of how tired you feel. Someday soon, you might find yourself brewing coffee at the crack of dawn and wondering how you ever wasted so much time lying in bed.

5. Bad News, Men: Your Motivation To Change Will Fade

Yaroslav Shuraev

After you graduated from high school or college, you might've sworn that you'd never "let yourself go." So, you may have hit the gym like it was your second job and chased after promotions like they were candy to further your career.

If you fast forward a couple of decades, though, that drive starts to fade, and testosterone is actually the culprit.

This hormone, which is responsible for muscle mass, motivation, and energy, peaks around age 40 before gradually declining. As it drops, the urgency to push yourself goes with it. You'll no longer be jumping at the chance to stay late at work or stick to your old, grueling six-day workout regimen.

6. Bland Food Won't Seem So Terrible

Pavel Danilyuk

If you're a self-proclaimed "foodie," you love visiting fancy restaurants, trying new cuisines, and think your palate is only getting more refined as you age.

But if you've ever wondered why older adults seem perfectly fine with eating the same old bland meals every week, science has the answer. You may not know that, as you age, your mouth produces less saliva, which is crucial for breaking down food and bringing flavors to your taste buds.

On top of that, appetite naturally shrinks, meaning dinners are more of a necessity than an experience. Suddenly, some plain crackers and apple juice won't seem so bad after all.

7. You'll Reminisce, Just Like Your Parents

Nowadays, you might roll your eyes when you hear your parents tell the same childhood story (or rant about how things were "so much better" back in the day) for the hundredth time. You may even have a pact with yourself, promising to stay more current and open-minded.

Well, when you get older, your brain actually relies on nostalgia as a sort of built-in natural antidepressant. In other words, reminiscing helps older people counteract the stress and responsibilities of adult life.

This is why long-winded stories about the "good old days" become even more frequent with age, and someday, you'll likely find yourself falling into the same pattern.
