I'd rather not...

Personally, I would write Steve's solution as:

SELECT P.Name, S.StarSignName, F.FoodName
FROM PERSON P
LEFT JOIN SIGN S ON P.StarSign = S.StarSign
LEFT JOIN FOOD F ON P.FavFood = F.Food;

You can add parentheses to your heart's content, but for this query
it would add more confusion than necessary.
