Kashmir is called the heaven on earth and is arguably the most beautiful place in India.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21): Kyrgyzstan

Scorpio, represented by the scorpion, is one of the most misunderstood zodiac signs because of their intensity, passion and slightly dark outlook towards life. They are ruled by Pluto, the planet of darkness, destruction and rebirth. Because of their inherent traits, Scorpios tend to choose off-beat destinations, and Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia is sure to stimulate their intelligent and intuitive senses. The place is full of old bazaars, architecture influenced by Russian colonisation, and a unique dining scene.

[myaffiliate type="normal" button_name="Book your stay on booking.com" url="https://www.booking.com/hotel/kg/sheraton-bishkek.html?" align="center" class="affiliate-eight"]

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Masai Mara

Masai Mara is an African wonderland, perfect for adventure-seekers who are genuine explorers, always bitten by a wanderlust bug. Sagittarius is symbolised by an archer and is the most thrill-seeking sign on the zodiac wheel because it is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of travel. Sagittarians would love to experience the wildlife safaris at its National Park and to be one with the animal kingdom.

[myaffiliate type="normal" button_name="Book your stay on booking.com" url="https://www.booking.com/hotel/ke/oseki-maasai-mara-campsite.html?" align="center" class="affiliate-nine"]

Austria is known for its awe-inspiring nature, grand ballet and opera venues, and palaces on beautiful gardens. Captured on the big screen and popular for its stunning views, this destination, and not just its capital city, Vienna, is one of the most scenic places to travel to in Europe in 2024. Capricorn is a sign denoted by the sea goat and ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline. After working hard and focusing on their duties, Capricorns need a break to let themselves loose, relax and unwind. There is no better destination than Austria, which could offer them all this and more.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18): The Amazon

The main Aquarian trait is to be humanitarian, progressive and giving towards the community. The greatest and densest forest on the planet is the perfect playground for this intelligent air sign. Unlike the other two air signs, Gemini and Libra, Aquarius does not like to mingle with people as it is more comfortable introspecting alone. Hence, the Brazilian Ecuadorian forest is the perfect place for this zodiac sign to travel to in 2024.

Pisces (February 19-March 20): Phi Phi Islands

Meditative, calm and peaceful, the last zodiac sign is Pisces, denoted by the twin fish swimming in opposite directions. Often accused of being slightly cut off from reality, they are ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams and fantasies. The Phi Phi Islands in Thailand provide the fish a much-needed break from routine as they immerse themselves in the clear blue waters here.

Have you ever wondered why the wanderlust bug seems to bite some people often, prompting them to move around more than others? While some of us prefer to adhere to our routines and unwind in the comfort of our homes with loved ones, astrology suggests that your big three – the Sun sign, the moon sign and the rising sign – play a significant role in ascertaining whether you are an adventurous spirit or prefer to stay homebound. Let insights from astrology guide you to your ideal destination. Here are some places to visit based on your zodiac sign in 2024.

Zodiac wonders: How astrological elements shape your travel choices

All 12 zodiac signs are divided into four elements: earth, fire, water and air, with core characteristics formed based on these elements. For example, earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) are stable and grounded in their approach. They prefer to play it safe, even when it comes to their travel choices, and opt for locations that are tried and tested.

Fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) are impulsive and easily excitable. Their love for exploration and experimentation is reflected in the way they travel, with a thrill-seeking temperament that leads them to action-packed travel schedules.

Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) are intelligent souls who love to contemplate and socialise. They prefer destinations that allow them to explore art and culture, providing food for their brains. They are more likely to embark on a road trip than follow a guided tour.

Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) are emotionally deep, contemplative and intense of all zodiacs. They often take a path less travelled, seeking peace and calm. Slow travel is their thing, and they are often seen choosing meditative retreats.

Remote and cut off from the mainland, the exotic islands of Andamans are perfect for the emotional water sign of Cancer, denoted by the crab. Here’s why: this crustacean sign is ruled by the moon, which is why it is very sentimental and an overthinker. They are not necessarily travel-oriented, but when they do travel, they seek peace and calm. Crabs are generally inclined towards going to places that are away from the hustle and bustle of human civilisation. The Andamans tick all these boxes perfectly well.

This gorgeous region of the Trans-Himalayan mountain ranges serves as the best backdrop for this intense water sign to explore.

They say marriages are made in heaven, but it is up to us to find our soulmate and, if lucky, get married to them.

Let your zodiac sign guide you through the enchanting possibilities that align the stars with your dream wedding destination.

How do zodiac signs influence your wedding destinations?

A deep dive into the realm of travel astrology reveals that every location carries its unique energy or vibration, impacting individuals positively or negatively. Astrology suggests that relocating can alter a person’s destiny, potentially leading them to meet their soulmate, marry and settle down if the new location aligns with their progress and well-being.

Choosing a particular destination for the wedding is believed to guarantee a ‘happily ever after’ for the couple. While the natal chart can accurately indicate the ideal wedding location, examining the zodiac signs is an excellent starting point.

Each zodiac possesses specific traits based on its ruling planets, elements and interactions with other signs. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) are rooted in the practical world, often opting for grand celebrations on their wedding day. Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces), on the other hand, are more emotional, choosing a destination with sentimental value for themselves and their partners. And fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) embrace the moment, exuding spontaneity and fun. They closely follow trends and want their wedding day to be the talk of the town!

Stars, Signs And Romance: Navigating Love On Your Holiday With Travel Astrologyhttps://www.travelandleisureasia.com/in/trips/zodiac-travels/travel-astrology-and-signs-that-you-will-find-love-on-a-holiday/2023-11-07T10:30:05+00:00https://www.travelandleisureasia.com/in/?p=231464Travel astrology

If you have always dreamt of finding your love and life partner while travelling, here are a few travel astrology signs to look for in your natal chart, considering your birth date and time.

Astocartography is a branch that specialises in relocation or travel astrology. It is believed that every place has a distinct vibration, and it influences an individual’s love life, luck and fortune. The birth chart of a person serves as a tool to decipher their future, and the lines on it can be used to predict whether they will be lucky in love or if they will venture abroad for studies or settlement.

Travel astrology and love

Travel and love share a strong connection and often go hand in hand. Popular culture has made it aspirational to fall in love with someone special or to connect with a foreigner while travelling. Though this idea seems appealing, it is difficult to sustain a holiday romance. Having said that, some people are destined to meet their life partners in the unlikeliest of circumstances or places.

In astrology, Venus, associated with love and money, plays a critical role in understanding one’s romantic life. The position of Jupiter is also important in determining if one will find love while travelling. This planet denotes adventure, thrill and personal growth. The celestial luminaries in a birth chart should not be overlooked either, as the sun is believed to bring positivity, while the moon rules the inner thoughts and emotions of a person.

Your sun sign is also important in determining whether you will find love while travelling or not. For example, the fire sign of Sagittarius is typically associated with travel and is, therefore, more likely to find love while away from home, according to travel astrology.

Travel astrology: Signs you will find love while travelling

Venus and the ninth house

The ninth house in one’s natal chart signifies travel and is crucial to understanding matters related to it. If Venus is placed in the ninth house, it is a strong indicator that you’re likely to find the love of your life while travelling or your partner may hail from a faraway land. This placement also indicates higher education, meaning you might meet someone special when studying abroad.

This placement symbolises that your partner would likely have a stable income and may work in sectors like technology, law or politics.

The seventh and the ninth house

The seventh house rules relationships, while the ninth house pertains to travel. If you want to determine whether you will have a long-term connection with the partner you are destined to meet while touring, you need to examine the aspects between these two houses. The ruling planets of both houses and the angles at which they are positioned from each other will determine the kind of relationship you are likely to have.

In astrology, there are five major aspects: conjunction, sextile, square, trine and opposition. If you find a sextile or trine aspect between the ruling planets of these two houses, it’s a positive indication of a long-term, happy partnership with the person you meet during your travels.

[inline_related_article article_id="228976, 227452"]

Venus, Jupiter and Mars

If Venus and Jupiter are placed together in the 11th and 15th houses, it means luck in the travel and love sector for the individual. Additionally, having Jupiter in the seventh house is considered auspicious for those looking for romance while travelling.

Mars, associated with sexual desire and aggression, takes on particular significance in the ninth house of the birth chart. If Mars is positioned there, it strongly suggests the likelihood of forming a romantic connection while travelling.

The moon and the sun

Individuals with their moon sign as the dreamy and meditative fish, Pisces are said to be very lucky in matters of love. It indicates that their emotional world is ruled by Neptune (the planet of dreams and desires) and Jupiter (the planet of adventure), increasing the chances of falling in love while moving around or vacationing.

Similarly, having the sun in the ninth house also indicates a high probability of the individual falling in love with someone while away from home.

Celestial Honeymoon Destinations: Where To Go Based On Your Sun Signhttps://www.travelandleisureasia.com/in/trips/zodiac-travels/zodiac-honeymoon-destinations-for-all-signs/2023-10-28T06:30:08+00:00https://www.travelandleisureasia.com/in/?p=229462zodiac honeymoon

For many among us, travel and romance go hand in hand. Regardless of your zodiac sign, the desire to be swept away to a breathtaking location by your partner and create cherished memories to strengthen your bond is universal. Astrology places a lot of importance on the travel compatibility of a couple based on their zodiac signs, taking into account their traits, behaviour and travel interests. If you want to surprise your spouse with a dream honeymoon, then it’s worth considering a few destinations tailored to their zodiac sign. Here are some honeymoon vacation spots that your better half might like and know why.

When travelling with your partner for a special occasion, it becomes crucial to pick a destination that suits both of you, and astrology makes this process foolproof. Zodiac signs associated with the fire element (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) seek thrill and adventure. In contrast, the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) are the romantics of the zodiac wheel and often want to escape to a serene place closer to nature. The earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) leave no stone unturned to make sure their choice of location is luxe, uber comfortable and has a wholesome vibe to it.

Journeying Through The Zodiac: What Your Sun Sign Says About Your Travel Preferenceshttps://www.travelandleisureasia.com/in/trips/zodiac-travels/travellers-as-per-sun-sign-heres-what-your-zodiac-reveals/2023-10-26T02:30:49+00:00https://www.travelandleisureasia.com/in/?p=228976travellers as per sun sign

Travel astrology, or Astrocartography, is a practice in which experts analyse travel-related predictions for individuals based on their custom-made birth chart. Just as astrology influences various aspects of life, such as finances, careers, relationships, family, and personal traits, it also plays a role in shaping a person’s approach to travel. Here is a basic insight into the types of travellers as per the sun sign.

Primarily, the 7th, 8th, 9th or 12th houses of the birth chart are examined by experts to determine an individual’s inclination for travel and its impact on their overall life, as well as the kind of traveller they are likely to be. But, for those seeking a general understanding of their or a loved one’s behaviour while travelling, the zodiac sign is a good place to start.

Sun signs that have a major influence on Mercury and Jupiter are considered to favour travel. On the other hand, zodiac signs that are more rooted in their homes and do not appreciate taking long journeys for business and pleasure include Cancer, Virgo and, to some extent, Capricorn. Let’s delve into why some signs have a stronger wanderlust than others.

Types of travellers as per sun sign

Aries (21 March – 19 April)

types of travellers
Image credit: Matt Hardy/Pexels

Aries, the first sign on the zodiac wheel, is symbolised by the ram and ruled by the planet Mars. Their defining traits are drive, ambition and spontaneity. They are a lot of fun while travelling and you will have a great time with them if you are okay with getting on with their impulsive plans. Aries travellers love to explore the food and are quite adventurous when it comes to checking out new places. Not averse to spending money to get a quality experience, they often try to pack in a lot of experiences into a short time, which can be a bit overwhelming.

Taurus (20 April – 20 May)

Taurus, an earth sign symbolised by a celestial bull, is ruled by the planet of love and money, Venus. These travellers are lovers of luxury and extravagant experiences. Not very high on sightseeing or trying adventurous activities, they are laid-back travellers. After working very hard, Taurus travellers believe they have earned the right to blow some steam off at Michelin-star restaurants, spas and casinos.

[inline_related_article article_id="227452, 225491"]

Gemini (21 May – 20 June)

travellers as per sun sign
Image credit: George Pak/Pexels

Flirty, free-wheeling and very lively, Gemini is an air sign symbolised by the twins. This zodiac stands for duality in astrology, craving to be everywhere all at once. They are also known as the social butterflies of the zodiac and make friends easily. They are high on intelligence and always buzzing with a million ideas at once. They are active travellers as per the sun sign and want to check out everything their chosen destination has to offer. They often race against time to make it to all the activities they have signed up for. Their joie-de-vivre and infectious energy often make them ideal partners to travel with, only if you are okay with their myriad plans on a trip.

Cancer (21 June – 22 July)

Cancer, ruled by the moon, is a sign that is somewhat homebound. Their intense emotional connection to loved ones and family prevents them from travelling for extended periods. They are also the type of travellers who cannot take off solo and always like to be surrounded by their loved ones. When on a trip, they like to chill in their hotel and are not big on touring extensively. They enjoy the calm and peace above everything else and are likely to visit non-touristy, obscure places to unwind.

Leo (23 July – 22 August)

travellers as per sun sign
Image credit: Cottonbro Studio/Pexels

This fire sign, symbolised by a lion and ruled by the sun, is a beacon of positivity and optimism, much like a ray of sunshine in the garb of humans. They like to explore all the luxurious experiences a destination has to offer and don’t mind treating their loved ones the same. This is the reason they are paired the best with Taureans, who love to chase a similar pursuit. Leos are also all about sharing their travel experiences on social media because they not only like the attention but also thrive on social validation.

Virgo (23 August – 22 September)

Virgo, ruled by the planet Mercury, which stands for communication, travel and technology in astrology, are cautious travellers and slow communicators. They tend to internalise their thoughts and are avid planners. Before embarking on a journey, a typical Virgo would make extensive lists and pre-book everything. They hate spontaneity and change in plans. They love to adhere to a pre-decided routine and are sticklers for punctuality. This sign, symbolised, by the virgin or the maiden, is a perfectionist and has trouble letting their hair down even on a vacation.

Libra (23 September – 22 October)

shopping
Image credit: Freestocks/Unsplash

Librans have a natural penchant for arts of any and every kind and make their vacation a culturally rich experience. This Venusian sign will most probably shop until it drops and check out all the museums and art corners their chosen destination has to offer. Symbolised by the weighing scale, Libra loves travelling and turns every trip into an experience of a lifetime.

Scorpio (23 October– 21 November)

Scorpio is an inherently unconventional sign. This intense water sign, symbolised by the planet of darkness, death, destruction and transition, may not be natural travellers but when they do, they are sure to follow the lesser-taken path. They are the type of travellers who like to check out unusual destinations, and offbeat activities, avoiding the touristy things in favour of a more authentic experience.

Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December)

Sagittarius, ruled by the planet of adventure, Jupiter, was born to travel, both literally and figuratively. Their biggest pet peeve is stagnation, and they are always excited to pack their bags and leave. Sagittarians are the type of travellers who often throw caution to the wind and take up daring expeditions. It is very hard to match up to their energy and hyperactivity while travelling. Only fellow fire signs Aries and Sagittarius can be worthy contenders to embark on a quest with this sign symbolised by an archer.

[inline_related_article article_id="225149, 216044"]

Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)

planning for a trip
Image credit: Nataliya Vaitkevich/Pexels

Ruled by the planet of rules and regulations, Saturn, Capricorn is symbolised by a celestial sea goat and is always bound by their responsibilities to work and family. They are among the more serious and mature signs, making it difficult to convince them to take a vacation. Capricorns like to plan everything, and much like the fastidious Virgo, despise any kind of last-minute disruptions to their routine, even while travelling. Exploring something that is not in their itinerary does not come naturally to them and they are better left alone to explore a destination at their own pace and according to their plans.

Aquarius (20 January – 18 February)

This intelligent air sign is motivated by a higher purpose in life. They are the good samaritan type of travellers as per the sun sign. Aquarians like giving back to the community and appreciate connecting with people at large while travelling. They are also big on seeking meaningful experiences and vacationing is not just about fun and games for them.

Pisces (19 February – 20 March)

Pisceans are the water babies of the zodiac and possess a peaceful and meditative temperament. Their ideal retreat involves tranquil and nature-centric locations. For those born under this sign, ruled by the planet of dreams and fantasies, Neptune, a spiritual retreat or meditation camp would be a perfect destination.

Stars Of Overpacking: These Zodiac Signs Just Can't Travel Lighthttps://www.travelandleisureasia.com/in/trips/zodiac-travels/zodiacs-who-overpack-and-just-cannot-travel-light/2023-10-18T02:30:59+00:00https://www.travelandleisureasia.com/in/?p=227452zodiacs who overpack

Astrology and travel have a close connection. While some may find it hard to believe, an individual’s birth chart can provide insights into their inclination for travel or being more homebound. Zodiac signs, in their unique way, can shed light on a person’s love for either minimalist packing or the art of overpacking.

Astrocartography is an important practice of zodiac travel that reveals a person’s behaviour during a trip and uncovers their travel-related quirks and tendencies.

How Astrocartography reveals zodiac signs that overpack?

zodiacs who overpack
Image credit: Leah Kelley/Pexels

A birth chart is nothing but a snapshot of the celestial sky at the precise moment of a person’s birth. It serves as a unique astrological blueprint, and one’s life path can be understood by accurately analysing all the planetary and luminary positions on this chart. In Vedic astrology, for instance, the ninth house in the birth chart is associated with long-distance travel.

This connection is due to the influence of the planet Jupiter, which symbolises adventure, exploration and excitement. Jupiter is also related to personal growth, spiritual evolution and progress in general.

Some key positions examined in the birth chart include the luminaries, the sun and the moon, along with the planets Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and lunar south and north nodes. Analysing these positions can provide insights into an individual’s travel patterns and unique tendencies. It can reveal whether they are light or over-packers, whether they like outdoor activities or prefer the comfort of a hotel bed, or if they find relaxation in a spa.

Zodiacs who overpack – Are you one of them?

Taurus

zodiac travel
Image credit: Vlada Karpovich/Pexels

Taurus is a fixed earth sign symbolised by a celestial bull. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and money, Taureans love indulgence of any and every kind. They like to chase luxury and are determined to work hard to afford it. They aim for the best travelling experience and like to prepare well for the same in advance. Their over-enthusiasm often leads to overpacking. Taureans have needs beyond the basics, and hence they tend to carry their entire world with them.

You’ll likely find a Tauras traveller with multiple skin and hair care products, random accessories, empty shopping bags to carry all the shopping, and loads of outfits with matching accessories. This is definitely amongst the most prominent zodiacs who overpack.

Libra

A Venusian zodiac sign, Libra is symbolised by a weighing scale. Librans appreciate beauty and harmony in all aspects of their life. Their constant quest for balance often leaves them indecisive, even when it comes to travel packing. They like to chase their artistic instincts and are driven by a touch of vanity. Librans are known to flaunt the latest styles and drop vacation looks on social media, seeking admiration and adoration from others.

As an intelligent air sign with a cardinal modality, Librans take initiative and are deeply involved in their travel plans. They tend to plan busy vacations and mostly pack a lot of specialised gear, clothes and accessories to go with their plans.

Leo

Image credit: Vlada Karpovich/Pexels

Leo, symbolised by the lion and ruled by the Sun, is a beacon of optimism and hope. They love to travel and leave no stone unturned in planning and executing a good vacation. But, they do have a tiny flaw. Their inherent confidence, at times bordering on overconfidence, can lead to procrastination. This overconfidence often causes them to delay packing until the last minute.

In the rush to catch their flight, Leos tend to pack a lot of unnecessary items that won’t be used during their trip. These lions are particularly proud of their mane, and their suitcase is often filled with a range of hair ornaments and accessories.

Unveiling the Chinese zodiac signs

The Chinese zodiac, known as Shengxiao, comprises twelve animals: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. A 12-year rotational cycle is followed by these zodiac signs, changing annually after the Lunar New Year celebrations. Just like each sign is believed to influence individual personality traits, they also represent what each year holds for us.

Certain zodiac animals are believed to be compatible with others, while others clash. For example, rabbits are known for their conflicts with snakes but their compatibility with Dogs, Goats, Monkeys and Pigs. Snakes, on the other hand, are said to be compatible with dragons and roosters. Unlike Western astrology, the Chinese birth year is very significant in determining an individual’s nature and predicting their future.

The sequence of Chinese zodiac characters has an interesting legend behind it. According to Taoist belief, the Jade Emperor once organised a race among all the animals, and their positions on the calendar were based on the order in which they finished the race. The rat, cleverly riding on the ox’s back before leaping across the finishing line, won the race. The pig is said to have finished last because it stopped along the way for a snack and a nap. The rat symbolises alertness and intelligence, while people born in the year of the pig are associated with a laid-back approach to life.

What comes to mind when one thinks of winter? Welcoming hot beverages, cosy fireplaces, snuggling up with your loved one, and of course, holidays! This season beckons a festive atmosphere and hence calls for a much-needed break from the daily routine. You don’t have to be a born traveller to tap into the magic of the season. But are you confused about which destination to choose this winter? Why not consider what astrology suggests? Here are a few winter travel destination suggestions based on your zodiac sign.

Zodiac travel: Sun signs and their preferences

Travel is a significant aspect of an individual’s birth chart, and astrology experts agree that the presence or absence of particular astrological elements greatly impacts this facet of one’s life. While some signs have a natural inclination for travel, others find pleasure in staying at home. Also, different zodiac signs have distinct preferences for how they want to spend their vacations. While excitement-seeking Sagitarians would love to explore new places, sensitive and calm Pisceans would prefer to travel slowly, immersing themselves in the history and culture of the place at their own pace.

On the other hand, zodiac signs like Cancer, Capricorn and Virgo are naturally inclined to be homebodies. They find joy in their domestic or everyday professional lives. Their ideal vacation is to disconnect from the practical world and spend time with their families. They are not thrill seekers and prefer the mundane predictability of life over adventure. Now, let’s delve into winter destinations that align with your zodiac sign’s preferences.

Autumn or fall is hailed as one of the most scenic and romantic seasons. A welcome change from the summer’s sweltering heat, the fall symbolises the transition, transformation and end of something, to usher in a new phase. Neither as warm as summers nor as harsh as the winters, this is a perfect season to sip a pumpkin spice latte and travel the world, creating beautiful memories all the while. So, here are the best places to travel in autumn from an astrological point of view.

How does the zodiac influence travel?

Astrology plays a big role in determining whether a person is inclined to travel or not. Amongst the 12 houses of an individual’s birth chart, the numbers nine and 12 determine travel, more specifically foreign travel and settlement. Similarly, every zodiac has innate traits that motivate them to either be bitten by the wanderlust bug or remain bound to their routine.

The three sun signs of the fall are Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. While Libra is a cardinal air sign, it occurs at the start of this season. Scorpio is a fixed water sign which stays during the fall while Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign that represents the change of the season from autumn to winter. The diverse modalities, elements and personality traits of these three sun signs influence the vibe when travelling with other zodiacs travel during this period.

Even though the most popular season for going on a holiday has been summer, travelling in autumn has a unique vibe and beauty associated with it. Zodiac signs’ destination choices during the fall are influenced by the charming airiness of Libra, the intensity of Scorpio and the adventurous attitude of Sagittarius.
