The best holiday for your zodiac sign

Your Travel Style: Jam-Packed

You Love: Learning something new, itineraries with more than one city/location, tours (AKA trivia), talking to locals

"The mutable air of Gemini has the distinction of being having neutral polarity—in a sense, it just can't make up its mind! Symbolized by the Twins, Gemini bores easily but loves to chat, so grab your pal and take a vacation that brings you something fresh each day. Try a visit to a new city with an itinerary replete with cultural events, site-seeing (with photo-ops), and visits with friends or family."

Ideal Destinations: New York City or London (for the best of both laid-back life and tons of activities), and for a beach stay, White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, California.

Your Travel Style: High-Class

You Love: Plenty to do, cultural activities (theatre, ballet, opera), over-the-top experiences, sophisticated dining

"Leo's fixed fire energy is more settled than Aries, with a proud attitude and a flair for the dramatic. Like the lion ruling his pride, Leos enjoy being the centre of attention. Of course, prowling around with other celebrities can be fun, too, so plan a trip with regal accommodations, in a high-profile locale like Paris or Milan, where you will be treated like royalty."

Ideal Destinations: New York City; Paris or Versailles, France; or South Beach, Florida.

Your Travel Style: Experience-Oriented

You Love: Structured itineraries, researching the best spots/local fare, walking tours, architecture

"Virgo's mutable earth energy shakes things up with forces of analysis and purification. Although the Maiden can sometimes become a perfectionist, she also enjoys letting her hair down. Let the planning be part of the fun (you know you love it, Virgo!) and check out a structured offering, such as a wine tasting expedition or a cooking class, that will appeal to your practical nature."

Ideal Destinations: Sonoma, California; The Great Wall in China; and for the beach: Barcelona or Lisbon.

Your Travel Style: Comfort-Seeking

You Love: Water, familial ties (i.e. where your family came from/exploring your roots), places of worship (i.e. beautiful cathedrals), small B&Bs

"With Cancer's cardinal water, fertility flows into the zodiac. Cancer's nurturing energies make it a good time for planting—whether it be flowers, crops, or relationships. Just be sure to nurture yourself, too, Cancer, or you'll get crabby! For your getaway, find a secure spot to burrow into, like an extended stay hotel, or even a time-share condo, and take a series of fun-filled day trips."

Ideal Destinations: A bed-and-breakfast in Vermont, a cozy Airbnb in Amsterdam, or for a beach break, Cornwall.

Your Travel Style: Recharging

You Love: Private retreats, alone time, creeks/rivers, remote locations

"Scorpio's intensity results from a fluid, receptive element with a fixed quality and bears some resemblance to Aquarius. But you have a complexity all your own, Scorpio, and as long as you control that lashing tail, you are seriously charismatic. Give yourself some solitude on your vacation, preferably near the water (or at least a hot tub!) and when you come back you'll be your sexy, charming self again."

Ideal Destinations: Newport, Rhode Island; Sardinia, Puglia, Thailand.

Your Travel Style: Curiosity-Filled

You Love: Exploring unfamiliar territory (AKA the farther, the better), places with a ton of history, national parks, spontaneity, unplanned adventuring

"The mutable fire of Sagittarius, the Archer, brings a sense of evolution. The philosophical energy enjoys reflecting on its fiery self. Symbolized by the centaur, Sagittarius is drawn to unique expeditions that allow for an exploration of the realms of the mind and spirit, such as a trip to an astronomical observatory or a self-directed tour of significant religious sites."

Ideal Destinations: Los Angeles (for a stop at Griffith Observatory and a hike), Peru (for a trek to Machu Picchu and perhaps a try of Ayahuasca), and for a beach getaway, Big Sur, California (for a taste of everything).

Your Travel Style: Immersive

You Love: Mountain views, hotels with backstories (i.e. The Plaza in New York), museums, big lifetime experiences (i.e. riding in a hot air balloon, going on an archeological dig, etc.)

"Capricorn is the sign of cardinal earth. Symbolized by a goat with a fish tail, Capricorn evokes the first creature that emerged from the sea and ascended the mountain. It's a lot of work, but this practical sign has a knack for making use of the tools that are available. Consider a volunteer vacation like maintaining a hiking trail or teaching English abroad, in order to keep active and make a difference." If that doesn't work, remember that Capricorns are drawn to vacations that allow them to reconnect with friends and loved ones, with just the right amount of balance between relaxing and taking part in activities.

Ideal Destinations: Maine (try hiking preservation along the Appalachian National Scenic Trail), The Amalfi Coast, and for a beach vacation, the Hamptons, New York (in a big, shared house with friends).

Your Travel Style: Tranquil

You Love: Boutiques, new restaurants, nightlife (but with a retreat to go home to), a balance of things to do/quiet activity

"Libra's cardinal air initiates new ideas, particularly those that are the blending of two viewpoints. Here, Virgo's analysis gives way to a synthesis that is symbolized not only by the scales, but also by the balancing act itself. Librans enjoy both equilibrium and variety, so seek a tranquil getaway spot—a romantic B&B with your partner, or even a yoga retreat—and just go with the flow."

Ideal Destinations: A cabin in the Smoky Mountains; Santorini, Greece; and for pristine beaches, try Nevis.

Your Travel Style: Off-the-Beaten-Path

You Love: Natural wonders (i.e. the Northern Lights), non-rigid itineraries, plenty of down time, adventure (parasailing, kayaking, etc.), and new, "cool" towns

"Although Aquarius is symbolized by the Water-Bearer, this fixed sign is absolute air. The vessel you bear is full of visions and ideas, frequently of a humanitarian nature, although sometimes you dislike being around actual people! Choose a vacation that keeps you away from gimmicky tourist traps; instead, opt for something unique like scuba diving with manatees or spending a week in a medieval castle."

Ideal Destinations: Yosemite National Park, natural hot springs in Japan (around Tokyo); and for the beach, Tulum in Mexico.

Your Travel Style: Refocusing

You Love: Water, romance, cottages, sailing

"Pisces can be as slippery as the two fish that symbolize the sign. But that's only because your mutable water nature lures you into such dreamy and otherworldly depths. On your vacation, allow yourself to swim in them. Consider a spiritual retreat, or even an at-home staycation in which you abandon the television in favor of artistic supplies—your visions won't be far behind!"

Ideal Destinations: A Vermont B&B; Kauai, Hawaii; or Laguna Beach, California.
