Sun signs are the universe’s way of nudging you into action. And this article? It’s my way of nudging you to finally book that ticket. After all, travelling always feels easier when there’s a strong reason to be at the destination. And what’s a stronger instinct than your zodiac sign telling you exactly where you’re meant to be? And trust in me when I say listening to your sun sign might just change your life.
1. Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
The ones who burn the midnight oil and let no work call go unattended, places with history are made for you. Where your hard-earned money pays off, and every spot respects your love for legacy, order and structure. I wish I could suggest a city from the Jodha Akbar era, but Hampi in Karnataka is no less. Plan every day and go all in with the number of plans, because who’s really counting, since all things grand are reserved just for you. Just make sure you don’t find yourself lecturing fellow strangers about the significance of every other carved figurine on a ruin.
2. Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
As quirky as your dreams are, as offbeat your travel will be. Keeping the idea of variety alive for you, Goa has to be on your bucket list. From art villages to music festivals, every corner in Goa is here to support your eclectic vibe. I also know that the offbeat explorer in you will live insouciantly through Goa’s community stays. You can thank me later, probably after posting a dump from your trip and captioning it “travelled for experiences, not sights.”
3. Pisces (February 19-March 20)
It’s finally time for all my Pisceans to shamelessly ask for a three-day leave (which you rightly deserve) and escape all you want. I hope you pack enough sketchbooks, journals and swimsuits, since Gokarna is waiting for you to write a poem on it. A spiritual retreat to its heritage will work great for your stars. With a love for limitless imagination, I can see you booking the flight already.
4. Aries (March 21-April 19)
God sees your need to experience an adventure right now. And let me claim, it’s finally heard. No one cares if you leave for Rishikesh in Uttarakhand tonight, because doesn't the fun lie in last-minute plans?. It’s such an apt spot for y’all. From river rafting, paragliding to treks, every activity is here to validate your go hard or go home trait. Out of pure concern, we hope you’re so exhilarated that you forget the sunscreen but never the thrill. Consider this a reminder to pack that damn sunscreen.
5. Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Bulls by nature, I really like your stubborn attitude for choosing comfort over chaos. And that is how it should be, right? Indulging in the very idea of leisure. Udaipur is one flight away for you. Every lane in this city screams slow-luxury. A suitcase full of skincare, a handbag full of clothes, and you’ll surely adore being next to the regal, exquisite palaces of Udaipur and soaking in the serenity.
6. Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Geminis are known to travel with two moods. Surviving in groups and getting bored every alternate minute are also some traits when it comes to being a Gemini. Holding importance on fancy nightlife, Delhi is a place you’d belong in. With so much to do, I hope you find a second to feel bored. Being a perfect place for outgoing moods, feeling lost in Delhi is the last thing you should worry about. Don’t stress if you have to cancel three plans a day, because at the same time, you’d be making five new friends.
7. Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Let’s give our homesickness a break. Because the place I’ve got for you is a literal representation of home away from home. Allepey in Kerala is the cocoon you crave. Don’t you try to deny the comforts this place has to offer. Prioritising cosiness, intimacy and nostalgia while booking stays for you. From the comforting meals of Kerala to its soothing waters, it’ll be a trip that heals you like your mom. Travel tip: carrying snacks from home counts as self-care, not overpacking.
8. Leo (July 23-August 22)
We acknowledge every outfit you pack and the moment they deserve. So it only makes sense to add to the vivacity in your lives. All corners of Jaipur in Rajasthan are where you can hunt for Instagrammable pictures. Restaurants like Bar Palladio and Mohan Mahal are where your camera won’t know where to start. From shopping on the streets of Bapu Bazaar to the absolutely famous Hawa Maha, you won’t regret this trip until you change outfits thrice just to get the perfect palace-backdrop photo.
9. Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The inner planner in you will be on cloud nine when I share your travel place. The reason being, the presence of order and balance and most importantly, practicality. It’s Auroville in Pondicherry. A place that is a neighbour to wellness-driven spas and mindful places. Honestly, it’s a heaven for my dear Virgos. Don’t be shy to enough to already start making itineraries on spreadsheets whilst reading this article. Thriving where organic living is at its best, you’ll be on cloud nine in Pondicherry.
10. Libra (September 23-October 22)
Instead of seeking a nonexistent relationship, it’s high time you start seeking harmony. Fall in love with the mountains of Shimla in Himachal Pradesh. Go on, flirt a little with the crisp hilly air. You never know, love finds you in the strangest of places. Being like the flow of the water, it won’t be arduous for y’all to gel with the locals, and have the time of your lives. Not to mention, list down the places you wanna visit, cafes you wanna eat at and hotels you wanna stay in beforehand, since taking 40 minutes to decide what to order might kill your appetite. Rest apart, Shimla is supremely girlfriend material, don’t you worry, dear Libra.
11. Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Carrying the intense personalities you all have, I’ve got a place so dense that you almost feel like you’re one of the locals. Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh is where you can dig in and discover a few hidden gems, mysterious as you like it. Discarding the idea of quick escapes, this place is meant for you to find purpose and meaning in life. The spiritual intensity of this place attracts you and your secret journal. Keep your friends and family updated if, unsurprisingly, you disappear into a hidden alley and return with the wildest story.
12. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
All work and no adventures make Sagittarius a dull person. Book the tickets to Ladakh already, it’s the place you’ve been dreaming of. You know your happiness lies under open skies, and backpacking for treks. What are you waiting for? Don’t halt the wanderluster in you; it’s got so much more to do than work all day. Hope you book a bus to another city mid-trip because “why not.”
Some things are meant for you, and saying yes is half the magic!
