A water sign that instantly adapts to their surroundings, the Pisces sign is the 12th sign of the zodiac and is represented by a pair of fish swimming in opposite directions, known for being more laid back than the other water signs such as Scorpio and Cancer. This year, the perfect escape for a Pisces is a place of solitude, peace and quiet – as they’re known for their big imaginations, so what better place to let your imagination wonder than on a desert island paradise? Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life, and away from the toxicity of the daily grind, being the zodiac’s fish means the beach is your natural element, and being in a peaceful setting by the water is the perfect place to soothe and relax your mind, body and soul.

Courageous, determined, passionate and a little impatient, boredom truly is the enemy of all those born under the Aries sign. As the first sign in the zodiac and within the fire element, Aries are continuously looking for something dynamic and fast-paced. Lounging around all day on the beach just isn’t enough to excite them! They need something bigger, better and more exciting. The perfect astronomical adventure for all Aries signs this year is a city break. A place where you can pack your schedule with a million different things to do and activities to keep you entertained and busy, all whilst indulging in the magnificent culture and architecture that surrounds you.

The notorious Earth sign represented by the bull, those born under the Taurus sign truly enjoy luxurious, serene and relaxing environments. Ruled by Venus, the magnificent planet that governs love, beauty and money, it comes as no surprise that Taureans would happily spend all day lounging around in luxury, soaking in a bathtub full of essential oils and bath salts, with a glass of wine or two. This year, they will thrive within a sophisticated and luxurious escape. From deluxe resorts to a five-star spa retreat, be sure to escape to South Africa’s magnificent Cape Town and discover the haven of effortless comfort that is WATERLINE.

Does this sound luxurious enough for you Taureans?
Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20): Activities Holiday
A big kid at heart and super curious, Geminis belong to the Air element of the zodiac and love to seek thrills throughout their lives. However, as this sign is dominated by the twin constellation, those born under this sign are prone to change, especially when it comes to changing their minds! Therefore, it’s very important to seek an adventure that not only fits your dualistic and fluctuating nature, but something that also stimulates your brain. This year, we believe that after all that time of being stuck indoors due to these uncertain times, there’s nothing better than throwing yourself into an activities holiday. Whether that may be exploring the urban hotspots within cities or visiting some magnificent theme parks to unleash that inner child — how about indulging in a fantastic cycling holiday within the Zillertal Valley?

Cancer (Jun 21 - July 22): Beach Getaway
Born between the end of June and the end of July, Cancerians are a cardinal Water sign who prefer the slightly more laid-back way of life, being most comfortable within their shells and likely to feel at home wherever they are, whilst also being close to the water. Those born under the Cancer sign truly thrive and feel most at home when they are near beautiful beaches, rivers, waterfalls and glittering lakes. Not to mention, they’re also massive foodies!

Sun, sea, food and relaxation, a place like Zanzibar White Sands truly is the perfect beach getaway for those born under the Cancer sign.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22): Get Creative
The Earth sign that fits perfectly between Taurus and Capricorn, Virgos are known for their creativity and always pay attention to even the smallest of details within life. They’re ruled by Mercury, meaning they truly crave organisation and structure. Loyal, kind and hardworking, seeking goodness in life is the story of this zodiac sign. Since this goddess sign is mostly all work and no play, there’s nothing more fulfilling and stimulating for a Virgo’s mind than activating their imagination and getting creative.
This 2021, we highly recommend those born under this zodiac sign, to embark on a more creative and thought-provoking adventure. Whether that’s planning every day thoroughly in a city you’ve always wanted to go to, or diving deep into colourful reefs, if you’re open to learning something new this year, be sure to indulge in a crafty activity that will truly exhilarate you. Remember, Virgos never like to leave things to the last minute, especially when it comes to travel plans, so a well-organised trip is the perfect trip for them.
If you’re looking to go somewhere a little more ‘out of the way’ and somewhere more private, look no further than La Baye des Anges. This villa rental is nestled within France’s enchanting region of Provence and is the perfect place to capture the essence of slow living. With an ecological ethos threaded throughout, experience rustic Provencal charm at its finest and book in one of the owner’s creative workshops; from indigo fabric dyeing and eco-printing, to learning about the ancient Japanese techniques of Shibori and creating home-made maintenance products, step into Meilin’s studio and create your very own personalised cushion cover or tote bag. The intricate details and challenging process will not only get the creative mind running, but is also the perfect activity for Virgos to luxuriate in. Whatever your creative desire, Meilin will be happy to organise this with you in advance. So what are you waiting for?
Please note: any crafts involving dye would need to be carried out over a three-day minimum so if you book the villa for one week, this would be the perfect activity!
Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22): Friends Weekend
Friends assemble! Something truly crucial about organising the perfect getaway for a Libra is to keep in mind that they like to share their experiences with others. Due to partnership being a very important aspect of their lives, those born under this Air sign truly thrive when they’re around friends and family, enabling them to feel comfortable and balanced. The planet ruling the sign of Libra is Venus, meaning that those born between 23rd September and 22nd October need their lives to be embellished with beauty, such as music, art and exploring beautiful places with loved ones. We wouldn’t recommend any solo trips for you Libras out there! It’s not as important about where you are, it’s about what beauty surrounds you and who you’re sharing those experiences with.
If you’re looking for the perfect week or weekend getaway with your friends, look no further than casaFantini/lake time. Whilst booking out entire villas with friends and family has been a popular choice when it comes to group holidays, it’s become more popular than ever due to the safety of staying within your own bubble during these uncertain times. Did we mention that some smaller hotels have now joined in with this trend too? Offering glittering views over Lake Orta and the enchanting San Giulio Island, indulge in this private and peaceful atmosphere for you and your friends to enjoy this 2021.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21): Yoga Retreat
Truly adventurous, passionate and a little intense, Scorpios are complete opposites to Libras — they don’t need to be around other people to have a good time. They’re already fulfilled by the magnificence of their own minds and are arguably the most mysterious sign of them all. Pluto is the ruler of this Water zodiac sign, known for their regenerative and artistic behaviours. This year, we recommend sending all Scorpios off to a yoga or meditation retreat to help rejuvenate their minds, bodies and souls, whilst indulging in expressing their inner emotions. Whilst we believe that yoga and meditation is a path that helps lead us to our true selves, there’s no better place to discover your inner zen and free yourself from any stress and negative energy you may hold than in Mexico’s awe-inspiring Tulum.
Hidden away in Mexico’s Riviera Maya, discover your perfect astrological retreat at the tropical sanctuary of Jashita Tulum. This enchanting eco-retreat is nestled above the jungle treetops overlooking the glittering waters of Soliman Bay, surrounded by white sand beaches and lush green tropical forests — it’s the perfect revitalising mix for all Scorpios alike. Close your eyes and imagine the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, feel the fresh Caribbean sea breeze sweeping through your hair, and indulge in the calm atmosphere that surrounds you. Step into the hotel’s Caoba Spa & Yoga Studio and begin your rejuvenation journey through the mind, body and soul with the symbolic sun salutation, Surya Namaskara. Tap into all of your senses through ancient meditation and body movement, strengthen your mind and body equilibrium and begin to feel positive energy move swiftly through your body. Jashita Tulum is a place of relaxation.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19): Hiking Adventure
Capricorn is an Earth sign, part of the Taurus and Virgo trio, centred wholly on nature. The masters of self-control, the responsible, determined and practical signs of the zodiac, Capricorns always have a full itinerary when it comes to travel planning, since lounging around doesn’t always suit them. They don’t mind whether they’re travelling alone or in a group, but they always love a bit of a challenge and need their holidays to have some kind of purpose, one way or another. When it comes to organising the perfect adventure for this Earth sign, you never really need to look much further than your zodiac sign to tell you where to go. From wandering through postcard-perfect villages to indulging in fresh alpine air, follow the path of the mountain goat and discover the perfect nature hike through the Himalayas.
Nestled in the trees, 1600m above sea level, The Kumaon is the perfect escapist stay for Capricorns. Surrounded by surreal frames of forests, terraces and magnificent mountain peaks, this beautiful Himalayan paradise has everything you can ever dream about. There’s a huge range of activities for you to embark on this 2021. From the Kasar Devi Round Trip hike, which will take you through to the enchanting magnetism of the Nanda Devi temple, an ancient temple dedicated to the Goddess Durga, where you can indulge in the magical mysticism that reigns across the region, to exploring the historical tiger reserves by jeep safari, an adventure with The Kumaon will truly allow you to get a taste of the magnificent Kumaoni culture, keeping that itinerary full and busy! Not only will you be able to disconnect yourself from the rest of the world and find yourself in complete serenity, but the glittering waterfall and Balta village hikes will truly challenge that inner Capricorn.
