Check out the best places to go in the summer, by zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Fiercely independent, Aries are trailblazers that don’t like following the beaten path. Often overlooked for neighboring Israel, Jordan is a beautiful destination just waiting to be explored. Venture out to historic Petra and Jerash or relax on the Red Sea. It’s not a destination that’ll be overrun with tourists, making it perfect for Aries.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus are a passionate bunch always seeking out life’s pleasures – whether it’s a massage or a mouth water dinner. Romantic and filled with charm, Italy is the perfect vacation for a Taurus. Whether it’s sharing a delicious bowl of pasta in Rome or floating down the Venice canals, a vacation in Italy is sure to satisfy.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
As the energetic life of the party, Geminis need a getaway where people aren’t afraid to throw back a pint or two. Known for their fun-loving culture, Ireland is the perfect place for the Gemini. Pub hop through Dublin or learn how to pour the perfect pint of Guinness at the Guinness Storehouse. Spend the next day recharging at the Cliffs of Moher or Blarney Castle.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancers are water signs and tend to find inner strength near the ocean. Often emotional and expressive, Cancers thrive in the presence of friends. A secluded beach is exactly what Cancers need this summer, spending time near the water without hordes of crowds. Avoid Miami or Positano and try Whitehaven Beach on the east coast of Australia, known for its white sands, turquoise waters and lack of crowds.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Leos are a fire element that appreciate the finer things in life, thrive in social situations and hate laziness. Instead of lounging at the beach, Leos should look for bustling destinations where they can interact with people from around the globe. Check out Dubai, known for its glittery, action packed scene. From futuristic skyscrapers to camel rides to clubs, Dubai is the perfect mix of adventure and luxury.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgos, an earth sign, tend to be rooted and practical. Hardworking and organized, Virgos like their trips planned out and productive. Virgos should steer clear of bustling cities or crowded beaches and look for active vacations where they can spend the day recharging in nature. Check out Nairobi where you can traipse with gorillas and chimpanzees through the jungle or hike through the beautiful national parks.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libras enjoy spending time outdoors with good company. Valuing mental stimulation, exploring an ancient city is the perfect summer vacation for a Libra. Book a trip to Morocco and explore the cultural hub that is Marrakech. Get lost in the maze of mosaics and souks or visit the Roman ruins of Volubilis, an UNESCO world heritage site. It’ll be like immersing yourself in a history book!
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpios are trailblazers that don’t shy easily and rarely back down from a challenge. An adventure-packed trip to New Zealand is just the thing Scorpios need to get their adrenaline fix this summer. Bungy jump off the historic Kawarau Bridge or white water raft down the Hanmer Springs. It’s a trip you won’t soon forget.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Naturally curious, Sagittariuses are known for their love of travel. Often struggling to pick a single destination, Sagittariuses should head to Europe to visit multiple countries in a single week. Sip wine in front of the Eiffel Tower one day, hike through the Swiss Alps the next and finish off the week with tapas in Barcelona.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Tending to appreciate the familiar, Capricorns don’t like to venture too far outside of their comfort zone. A quick jaunt to the southern United States is the perfect vacation for Capricorns. Enjoy country music and delicious BBQ food in Nashville then head over to New Orleans for a vibrant night out, followed by Po’boys.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquariuses love meeting new people and dislike laying around doing nothing. As a mix of buzzing cities and glorious islands, Vietnam is the perfect summer getaway. Embark on a street eats tour in Hoi An, join a party cruise in Halong Bay or get your culture fill touring Ho Chi Minh City. There’s an endless amount of people to meet and sights to see!
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
As a water sign, the perfect destination for a Pisces is on the ocean where they can escape the realities of their mainland lives, at least for a little. Try a sailing trip where you live on a boat and spend the days gliding across the ocean. Known for its beautiful islands, Greece is the perfect place for a boat getaway, with buzzing nightlife, the blue Aegean sea and beautiful Santorini sunsets.
