Let your next travel destination be determined by the stars.
By Jenn Schwager
I know what you’re thinking. *Cue eye roll* Another article about astrology. How accurate even are these things? They feel like mere coincidence when they align with your life.
Well, we are here to tell you that there’s no such thing as a coincidence.
Think about it: we are on a spinning rock, in the middle of a star cluster, surrounded by planets, and an infinite number of other universes. You are no coincidence. So, whether you’re into astrology or not, let’s have some fun with this.
Have you ever had a moment where you paused, and things felt right? Where you felt like you were exactly where you were meant to be? So much so, that you let go of all your to-do lists and endless scrolling and truly connected with the world around you?
Those slivers of peace show us how we best connect with places. Some people find solace in the mountains, others by the ocean. Some thrive in a bustling city while their counterparts prefer a quaint farm town (this sounds like a plot for a new Netflix romcom). The more we learn to listen to these signs, the better.
Travel is a way for us to recharge. It’s a way for us to deepen our connection with ourselves and others. It’s a way to sink deeper into the world and what it has to offer while also discovering what you can offer the world.
So if you’re ready to experience all of those things let the stars guide you to your next travel destination based on your astrology sign.

How Astrology Can Help You Plan Your Next Vacation
Aries | Bali, Indonesia
Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, exudes a fiery and ambitious nature. You tend to be bold, powerful, and perhaps even a bit competitive. You’re known to be punctual, honest, and creative. You may crave new experiences and daydream about energetic encounters.
For your next travel destination, consider visiting Bali, Indonesia.
Bali is a powerful, spiritual place full of energetic souls. With a unique blend of jungle and beach, you will feel your cup fill all the way up. With opportunity at every corner, Bali is a place for adventure and solace as you plan your day-to-day.
Get your fix for adventure with a badass hike, like Nusa Penida Island. Once you’ve broken a sweat and caught killer views, plug back in and recharge your mind and body with a relaxing massage.

Taurus | Lake Como, Italy
Those with their astrology sign in Taurus are known for their love of luxury. As a pillar of the Earth signs, they love stability, decadency, and consistency. If you’re a Taurus, you probably recharge by being in nature, eating good food, and practicing next-level self-care (I’m talking facials, pedicures, baths, candles – and a solo sex session).
It was a no-brainer that Taurus should take their talents to the beautiful Lake Como, Italy.
Lake Como is located just North of Milan, Italy, and is surrounded by the most breathtaking mountain views. This heaven is one of the best places for relaxation and peace.
Many Taurus friends love food and if that sounds like you, let’s take a minute to dream about what an evening dinner would look like here. Picture this: you’re in a white robe, with fluffy slippers. You’re sitting on your Italian stone patio with a subtle breeze touching your skin. The lake is powerful but gentle. Your pasta arrives on your table with just the right amount of steam (if you’re gluten-free, please play along) and your Aperol spritz is ice cold. You take the first bite. Your eyes close, and you breathe in the air. Life is good.
When you’re ready to book, check out these excursions and dining locations around the lake. You won’t regret it.
Gemini | Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The adaptable astrology sign of Gemini. Sometimes, you get a bad rap, but let’s set the record straight. You have more flexibility than some of the other signs and can be known to have a lot of dualities. You’re clever, inquisitive, and intellectual. You’re open to new things and have great interpersonal skills – which can allow you to flourish in new environments. You also enjoy a bit of luxury (who doesn’t, am I right?).
The perfect place for your next destination vacation is Dubai.
Dubai is known for being one of the world’s most luxurious locations. With its hustle and bustle comes all the glitz and the glam. Dubai is for those who crave opulence.
Gemini, you would enjoy sightseeing with the city’s grand architecture, art galleries, and fine dining. Here you can satisfy your need for intellectual stimulation with all that Dubai has to offer. You may be spending most of your time in the air in the city’s skyscrapers – which is fitting since you’re an Air sign.
Let go of your inhibitions when you travel here and open yourself up to these exotic experiences.
Cancer | Bora Bora, French Polynesia
For the Cancers out there, you yearn for a deep sense of relaxation and intimacy. You’re very attuned with your emotions and are intuitive. You are imaginative and caring. Some of you may not consider yourselves the most extroverted sign, but with the people you love, you desire to be close to them. You’re fiercely loyal and crave safety.
You’re also a Water sign, ruled by the crab – so it makes sense to unwind, connect, and relax in Bora Bora.
You may have seen the iconic water bungalows located in Bora Bora on Keeping Up with the Kardashians (the one where Kim loses her diamond earring), and that’s exactly where you should unwind. Bora Bora is centered in the blissful South Pacific Ocean, ready to wrap you in a dreamy, oceanic hug.
This is a romantic destination, so whether you’re traveling by yourself, with a companion, or with a partner, find time to connect with your intimate side with a spa day out of a dream.
Leo | Cape Town, South Africa
Leo is the lion sign of the Zodiac. They’re powerful natural leaders with a strong sense of adventure and generosity. They’re determined and playful.
While they too enjoy luxury, those that call Leo their astrology sign also love to explore. So, pack your bags because you’re going to Cape Town, South Africa for a memorable adventure.
Cape Town is one of South Africa’s three capital cities and is located on the Southern Peninsula. It is home to sweeping views of the city and the harbor. One of its feature excursions is to take a cable car up to Table Mountain for a 360-degree view of the city. For another incredible view, take a hike up the Lion’s Head Cape Town trail (perfect for the lion in you) and take a deep breath full of that fresh air (note to reader: hike is steep but do-able – we wouldn’t steer you wrong).
Since you love to get in on the action, our recommendation for you, adventurer: take a chance and get in the water on a shark cage diving experience. While some of you may be saying “Absolutely not,” some of you may be grinning with joy.
No matter which adventure you choose, this trip will be one to remember.
Virgo | Prague, Czech Republic
Virgos. You tend to be organized AF (you make type-A hearts do backflips). While this may not encompass all Virgos, you’re known for being humble, self-effacing, practical, and hardworking. You’re typically the friend that puts together an itinerary for your group trips. Kind, charming, and reliable.
Your next destination is the beautiful city of Prague, Czech Republic.
Prague is an eclectic city full of amazing places to eat, drink, and visit. The city oozes history and culture. It’s bisected by the Vltava River and is known for its colorful Old Town Square that is home to Gothic churches, the famous Astronomical Clock, and of course, some of the biggest beers you may ever slam.
But sure to check out the Farmers Market in the heart of the city for some delicious eats. And if you’re interested in organizing a trip out of the city, you may find yourself in the gorgeous European countryside.
Virgo, you will love Prague as it will never run out of things to do. It feels like you’re visiting a new page of a fairytale book at every corner.
Libra | Barcelona, Spain
If you’ve got Libra as your astrology sign, you are probably known for being friendly and extroverted. Librans represent the Scales that aim to maintain peace and harmony. They enjoy connecting with others and are charming souls. You crave connection and enjoy a colorful life.
With its vibrant city and colorful people, Barcelona calls your name.
Barcelona, Spain, is known for being one of the globe’s richest cities – and we’re not talking dollar signs. We are talking rich with experience, personality, and cultural treasures. Home to some of the best nightlife there is, the party doesn’t have to stop when the clock strikes 2 am.
For you, Libra, balance out your night on the town with a day in the city touring around some of the most famous Gothic cathedrals like the Burgos Cathedral. Find yourself taking a wine tasting class or doing some fun shopping with your friends – Barcelona will balance your scales with everything it has to offer.
Scorpio | The Cook Islands, New Zealand
Scorpios – you are often perceived as the dark side of the Zodiac, but in truth, you are emotional beings with big hearts. You are loyal, brave, determined, and sensual. You may have a bit of secretiveness to you, but you’re passionate and don’t take things lightly. You are sensitive and intuitive – making sure to only let those in who you really feel you can trust.
For your secluded self, New Zealand’s Cook Islands are where you should set your sights.
The Cook Islands are an independent nation with political ties to New Zealand. There are 15 islands scattered within the South Pacific and are home to some of the most beautiful white sand beaches.
For our dear Scorpio, a Water astrology sign, you’re going to experience some of the most renowned snorkeling and scuba-diving sites the globe has to offer. The Cook Islands are where you will reconnect with yourself in deeper ways than you could’ve imagined – off the grid, opulent and majestic, just the way you like it.
Sagittarius | Sydney, Australia
Sagittarius, the ninth astrology sign, are known for their passionate and free spirit. They’re lovers of freedom, spontaneity, and are quick-thinking. If you’re a Sag, you’re probably known to be almost annoyingly independent and a risk-taker. You also have a strong desire to never stay in one place for too long, so there’s some pressure riding on this one.
Sagittarius, you, and your hilarity are going across the world to a fan favorite: Sydney, Australia.
You may know Sydney for the Sydney Opera House – or Finding Nemo. While you may not be looking to catch a night at the orchestra, Sag, there’s still plenty to do in the area. Take a boat out on the harbor for breathtaking views and hit the town afterward for drinks and dancing. Or, if you’re in the mood for something a bit more adventurous (like I know you are), book a dive at the Great Barrier Reef. Don’t be afraid, as this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Travel the Gold Coast until you feel like you’ve left a piece of your Sag soul there. See you down under!
Capricorn | Tokyo, Japan
Capricorns, with how hard you work, it would only be right that you take a vacation. You’re known to be extremely driven and enthusiastic about life and you’re willing to try new things or aim for lofty goals. You don’t let something new stand in your way, and you stay goal-oriented while taking care of your loved ones. You may need to visit a place with equal parts beauty, action, sophistication, and organization.
Resourceful as ever, the futuristic and bustling city of Tokyo is the place for you.
Tokyo, Japan, has been described by its visitors as “the place that has it figured out.” It’s clean, well-functioning, and filled with modernism. If you’re a sushi lover like us, this is a dream trip.
In addition to the food, Tokyo is also known for its many cultural offerings that provide its visitors with a lifetime of memories. Take a daytime sightseeing tour to Mount Fuji and Hakone for screensaver-worthy views. For your evening, join the fun in Tokyo’s Shinjuku’s bar hopping tour
Sink your teeth into this legendary location. For you, Capricorn, you will leave feeling refreshed and renewed with this trip of a lifetime.
