How do you find someone you get along with, who shares your interests and idea of what constitutes a great holiday? Have you ever looked to astrology? Picking the right travel buddy can be a tricky business, but the insights of astrologer and avid traveler Susan Miller could provide valuable guidance.
If that name sounds familiar, it’s because the founder of AstrologyZone is the favored astrologer of millions around the world; her horoscopes are read online by 11 million people each month. “I’m privileged to meet so many people worldwide and hear their personal stories,” she says. However, travel hasn’t always been a part of Miller’s life: having suffered from a debilitating congenital condition for much of her childhood, she says she felt as though life began at 20. “I was desperate to see the world,” she reflects. “I traveled wherever I could and have continued to do so as part of my work.”
So who should you bring along with you on your next trip? We asked her to weigh in on the best travel buddy for every star sign.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
You’re a born leader, a pioneer, and a discoverer. Consequently, you enjoy being active on holiday and can often be found exploring a new city, hiking, or playing sports. Fiercely independent, you’re happiest spending quality time one-on-one, which makes a partner or close friend your ideal travel companion. Aries and Leo, both high-energy, bold signs, balance each other well, allowing you to enjoy outdoor pursuits alongside Leo’s appreciation for luxury.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Being born under the sign of the bull means you are very sensual and love indulging in comfort. You appreciate a luxurious experience that isn’t rushed, such as a relaxing holiday at an exclusive resort. You are well-suited to travel with Pisces, known for their accommodating nature, making them great companions on a pampering trip.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
As a social butterfly, you thrive on travel, learning, and new experiences. Often restless at home, you seek vacations that provide a break from the ordinary. During your adventures, embrace public transport to converse with locals. Since Gemini is the sign of siblings, consider planning a trip with your brothers or sisters, or join a group tour to make new friends. Travelling with fellow intellectual Sagittarius can be rewarding as well.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
The sign of family and children, Cancer finds joy at home but doesn’t need to stay there. You cherish good relationships with family, making an extended family vacation meaningful. Favor a slower pace, savoring home cooking at small restaurants. You’ll enjoy trips with Virgo, who is highly organized and can help plan your ideal itinerary.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
A Leo thrives on glamour and excitement. A preference for upscale accommodations and fine dining experiences marks your travel style. To immerse yourself in culture, snag tickets to the opera or ballet and connect with like-minded individuals at exclusive clubs. Traveling with social Gemini aligns well with your shared passion for adventure and new experiences.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Known for being organized, you should start planning your next trip well in advance. By conducting thorough research and reading reviews, you can maximize your enjoyment. Virgo works best when traveling with trusted coworkers. Keep in mind the importance of balanced meals, opting for light, fresh dishes to ensure comfort during your travels. Pisces may also be an excellent travel companion, as you both appreciate cultural experiences.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
With a focus on balance and relationships, prioritize trips with your partner. If single, consider options like singles vacations or cruises to meet someone new. Libras are naturally sociable, which means you’ll easily connect with others and enjoy vibrant nightlife. Travel alongside Gemini, another friendly air sign, who shares your curiosity and energy.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Scorpios value deep connections, preferring to travel with romantic partners. You’re not drawn to superficial interactions or fast-paced activities; you appreciate your own space. Opt for destinations near water for a peaceful atmosphere. Traveling with Cancer can enhance the experience, as both signs appreciate depth and emotional connections when exploring new areas.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
For Sagittarius, travel is a necessity. You flourish in new environments, making solo adventures especially enjoyable. Nothing excites you more than long-distance journeys to distant lands. You also thrive when traveling alongside active Aries, with whom you share an adventurous spirit and an energetic approach to exploration.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
With a strong appreciation for history, Capricorns are best suited for enriching trips to cultural landmarks. Your ambition often ties travel to work commitments, and you’re likely to embrace opportunities for professional development. Connections with older relatives can enhance travel experiences, especially with Virgo, as both signs favor meaningful cultural adventures.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Aquarians are known for their innovative thinking and humanitarian concerns. Your travels may focus on addressing social imbalances or environmental issues. You’ll find joy in trips centered on astronomy and expanding your knowledge. Just like Sagittarius, you may prefer traveling alone or alongside Gemini, who shares your passion for knowledge and new experiences.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
As the most spiritual sign, you appreciate visiting churches and historical landmarks for their beauty and significance. Flexibility is key for you while on vacation, so crafting your own itinerary works best. A vacation with your mother or a close maternal figure can strengthen those bonds. Taurus is a compatible travel companion, enjoying the beauty of culture and nature as much as you do.
