Where to Travel to This Spring According to Your Zodiac Sign

Lifestyle Insider Guides
by Talisa Zampieri Mar 2, 2022

If you’re on the market for a holiday this spring, why not travel somewhere based on your zodiac sign! Each of the 12 signs falls into either four elemental triplicities — fire, earth, air, and water — and three modes or qualities indicating where in the season they fall — cardinal (beginning), fixed (middle), or mutable (end). Based on what these represent, you can craft a vacation that’s perfectly aligned with you.

Fire signs are, of course, fiery and passionate. They are dynamic and full of energy and zest for life. They include Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Fire signs enjoy being active and participating in engaging, upbeat dynamics, so should plan for plenty of fun vacation activities.

Earth signs are, obviously, earthy. They are rooted and grounded, pragmatic realists with one foot on the ground. This triplicity includes Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Earth signs aren’t afraid of hard work, they have stamina and endurance, and have a particular penchant for nature. These signs would do well with slower, robust travel schedules.

Air signs are the intellectuals and thinkers of the zodiac. They enjoy conversing and dealing with facts and logic, rather than emotions. They include Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Air signs need mental stimulation and company, with ample diversity to keep them satisfied. Including cultural and artistic pursuits in travel plans would suit them well.

Water signs are the most in touch with their emotions, intuition, and creativity. They are fluid and flexible, highly attuned to the energy around them. They are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. Being by water is incredibly soothing for them, as their triplicity suggests. Trips that allow for going with the flow, both literally and figuratively, are sure to satiate them.

Cardinal signs come at the beginning of seasons and so would like to take charge on holiday, being the initiators of change. These include Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. Fixed signs fall in the middle of seasons and as such prefer more stability and regular itineraries. These are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Mutable signs fall at the end of seasons and prefer more adaptability and room for spontaneity. These include Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.

With all that in mind, check out the best travel tips for where your Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign should visit in spring below.

Aries — Big Bend National Park, Texas, US

Being a cardinal fire sign, and the first in the astrological year, dear Aries, you certainly like to take the lead. You’re a bold pioneer and so places that are relatively untouched (meaning you get to feel like you’re exploring them first), are right up your street. That’s why the magnificent Big Bend National Park in Marfa, Texas, is perfect for you. With almost 802,000 acres of land, including the entire Chisos mountain range and a large portion of the Chihuahuan Desert, you’ll feel like you’re exploring uncharted territory. Its southern border is the flowing Rio Grande, with Mexico on the other side, allowing you to kayak between cliffs that rise up to 1,500 feet — what’s more pioneering than that.

Taurus — Tuscany, Italy

As a fixed earth sign, you’re the most stable of all, Taurus. Being submerged by nature where you can relax and soak it all in, as well as being pampered and indulging in your well-deserved vacation time (you are ruled by Venus after all), is just what you need. This makes Italy the perfect destination for you, it’s got beautiful Mediterranean nature, all the fine art and culture your heart could desire world-renowned designer goods, and some of the best cuisine on the planet. You can relish in all the delicious food your senses can handle while sipping on Tuscany’s finest wines, heaven.

Singapore has everything you need to keep you entertained- world famous street food scenes, architecture, cultural events, shopping, art, and more. Plus, English is one of the four official languages so you’ll be able to converse to your heart’s delight.

One of the most important things for you, dear Libra, is to have a good travel companion — no solo zodiac travel for you. As an air sign you also need a variety of things to keep you engaged, and as a cardinal sign you do like to take the lead, as long as everyone is on board and you don’t have to decide between two options. Known as the lover of the zodiac, ruled by Venus, it’s important for you to choose a beautiful, serene location with an equally stunning hotel. That’s what makes Savanna ideal for you. Its charming avenues, historic squares, picturesque homes, and whimsical moss-covered trees make for the most romantic scenery possible.
