Summer Star Signs

Discover Your Perfect Summer Vacation Destination

Whether your dream holiday is sun, sea, sand and relax, or if it's more snow, mountains, adventure and action, your star sign can direct you to your ideal destination. Each sign of the zodiac has its strengths and weaknesses and these opposing forces can be applied to finding the perfect place to spend your week away from work. Let's get planning!

Aries

March 21 - April 19

Aries is the sign of the ram, and you rams are all about energy and action. So you won't be content to sunbath beside the pool for very long. You enjoy being on your feet exploring a new city, trekking through the mountains or trying out water sports. You are an independent person, so a vacation alone is just fine with you. Choose somewhere with lots of new activities and challenges for you to tackle. A trekking holiday is ideal.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

Luxury is your middle name, so a perfect holiday for you would be one where you can relax and pamper yourself to the max. Save up your pennies throughout the year so you can splurge on a luxury hotel where you can indulge your desire for the finer things in life. Even if it is only once a year. Choose a hotel with an in-house spa to propel you into a deeper state of bliss!

Gemini

May 21 - June 20

You love new experiences but are easily bored. This means you might start off burning with enthusiasm for your vacation but find you get fed up halfway through! Stave off the boredom by filling your vacation with lots of new experiences everyday. You can do this by choosing a city break to one of the world's big cities, or by island hopping around the Greek islands - so everyday brings a new destination.

Cancer

June 21 - July 22

You are all about family. So your ideal break would be camping or renting a villa with family in a picturesque destination. Having loved ones close is your ideal vacation because you can pamper them, which makes you happy. Alternatively choose a small, quiet place for a romantic break with your partner, as big, bustling cities make you feel stressed, not relaxed.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

It's all about fun, fun, fun with you! You need to be in the most glamorous locations with the most glamorous people doing the most glamorous activities. Your ideal vacation is wherever the party is - preferably several parties in the same evening. A smart city location or a very chic seaside vacation will suit you.

Virgo

August 23- September 22

You get almost as much enjoyment from planning your holiday as you do from going on it! You like to research the hotels, restaurants, hotspots and attractions beforehand and love charting out a detailed itinerary for each day. That's great because you'll never miss anything with a Virgo planning a vacation. Mix activities, such as cycling, walking or horse riding, with leisurely strolling around your vacation location for the perfect Virgo holiday mix.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

A romantic at heart, Libras love strolling around picturesque locations with their loved one. Relaxing in the sun with a good book is definitely your idea of heaven. But you also get bursts of energy which compel you to go in search of adventure. So your ideal vacation is a balance of relaxation and activity.

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

The sign of the scorpion is intense and often tightly wound. So it's important for you to take a total break from your daily routine to decompress properly on vacation. Relaxing on a beach for a week would suit you. Or communing with nature on a trekking holiday, or renting a cabin in a pretty spot far away from the hustle and bustle of your normal life is ideal for Scorpio.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

Sagittarius is the sign of the wanderer, so travelling is in your blood. You are always looking for new experiences in new places. The more exotic the better for you. So look for vacations that are off the radar, adventurous and authentic. But anywhere new will get your wanderlust juices flowing so get on out there and explore!

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

You are social but reserved, and you love helping others to learn and achieve. So a volunteer vacation is a good choice for you. Contact a charity and offer to travel to help them with a project. Perhaps building a school, or digging out a water well. You'll meet new people in a new place and enjoy a vacation experience that is rewarding and worthwhile.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

Once you find a favourite vacation spot, you'll want to return there year after year. It could be a tiny villa by the sea, or it could be a boutique hotel in a big city. But once you've found your vacation sweet spot you'll stick with it. If you're still searching for your special place, try cities or places that are renowned for their arts and cultural scene as this will appeal to your inventive spirit.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

Your mind is constantly wandering from thought to thought, so escaping from it all is a must for you. Choose a visually spectacular destination, such as near a waterfall, coastline or lake, as these watery places will fire your imagination. Find a mix of beautiful natural scenery with some cultural hotspots for you to explore on vacation.
