The country you should visit based on your zodiac sign - Part 2

accreditation

Read part 1 (Aries – Virgo) here.

Libra

Librans are quite tricky. Ask to use one word to describe those born under this sign and many would use the word indecisive. However, while so many people tend to think that’s all there is to them, what many people don’t realise is that Librans are lovers of beautiful things and are big on romance as a concept.

In fact, when I spoke to our astrologer, I actually suggested the country we’re recommending for Libra, for Taurus, but we switched it up after she explained how the two signs differ.

She says: “The key differences between Libra and Taurus, both of which are ruled by the affectionate planet of Venus, is that Taureans are tactile and love good food, good wine, good company and a set and planned itinerary.

“They don’t like sudden or unexpected changes, while Libra is more about the idea of romance and finding that perfect setting. It is more on a social level where Taurus is on a practical and physical level.”

Country to visit: 

Venice, Italy – what better place and setting for Librans to experience an explosion of arts, culture and romance in a city that epitomises these very things?

With the opportunity for gondola rides, visiting scenic cafés, exploring the diverse and rich art history of the country and indulging in some fine dining at restaurants with spectacular views. You simply cannot go wrong with Venice as your destination of choice.

Scorpio

The most passionate of the star signs, Scorpios are both expressive and leaders in most things they do.

They’re also ambitious, intense, and according to astrology-zodiac-signs.com, they project an aura of mystery that makes them complex and magnetic.

Country to visit:

According to Refinery29, Scorpios are said to enjoy being on their own when it comes to vacation, but because they’re air signs, they’re also very adaptable and do enjoy the best of both worlds in terms of creature comforts as well as falling off the radar when it suits them.

Our astrologer actually suggests that they should “go to Las Vegas to make money and Switzerland to bank it,” but we think they’d be just as comfortable finding a campsite in Morocco while exploring the markets, sand dunes and enjoying the cultural melting pot that is Marrakesh’s Djemma El Fna.

Sagittarius

The adventure-seeking, philosophical and spirited star sign is ruled by the planet that embodies travel, which means that those who fall under this sign are basically born with the driving need to explore and visit as many places as possible.

Country to visit:

Any country that doesn’t place restrictions on their need for freedom.  But, because I’m a Sagittarius I’m going to chat about a country that's been suggested to me on various sites – one that I’m actually totally dying to visit too – Cambodia.

From the legendary and incredibly beautiful Angkor Wat temple in Siem Reap, which, according to The Culture Trip.com, is one of the primary reasons many folk visit the country, to the bustling capital city of Phnom Penh, the array of activities range from exploring phenomenal historical sites, to trawling Siem Reap’s Night Market for delicious local eats.

You can also visit museums like The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. Cambodia for all its lush beauty has seen its fair share of tragedy, and if you want to learn more about the history, then the Genocide Museum is a place you need to visit.

Capricorn

According to zodiacfire.com, Capricorns are practical, resourceful, resilient and independent. The responsible and disciplined sign falls under the earth element, which could explain why they are so grounded, good at making solid plans and are the ones that will put together a to-do list simply because other people won’t bother and because they like having a clear list of things to do.

Because of their good planning skills, they also make for some of the best travel companions.

Country to visit:

Greece. Anya suggested a country that’s steeped in tradition and Greece, with its rich history (seriously, it might be cliché but everyone should at least get to visit the Acropolis and Parthenon once), picture-perfect villas, islands and nightlife, is the kind of destination that would definitely suit this sign's needs.

Capricorns are also all about chilling when travelling, which is why they love travelling in groups and will find that the Greek islands are the perfect place to unwind and sip some Ouzo while lapping up the sun.

Aquarius 

Those born under the star sign of Aquarius have been said to be independent and free-thinkers.

According to astrology-zodiac-signs.com, Aquarians are also intellectuals with a keen desire to change the world by helping others, even though they err on the side of aloofness.

Country to visit:

Because they tend to like things that are off the beaten path, our astrologer suggests that any place unconventional and alternative would make these free-spirited souls happy. Aquarians are also big on natural wonders, which is why we’d recommend visiting Iceland, land of the spectacular Northern Lights.

While there Aquarians should also be sure to indulge in some whale watching opportunities and if you’re really feeling daring go on one of the volcano tours that are on offer. GuidetoIceland.is suggests visiting any time from mid-May to late July as that’s when they experience 24-hour days of sunlight, and wouldn’t it be so cool if you could get to see the sun at midnight?

Pisces

Ruled by Neptune, these water babies are dreamers with sensitive souls who, according to The Piscean Sign, are also idealistic to boot.

Known also as one of the most creative amongst the star signs, Pisceans are also expressive and artistic. Plus, their love of water means they’re also up to absorbing and immersing themselves in their surroundings.

Country to visit:

Any place where these beach babies can be near to water to be honest.  Just as long as there are plenty of cultural activities to stave off the boredom as Pisceans tend to grow restless very easily.

Refinery29 suggests that Hawaii is a good place for these water signs to go as there are a combination of things to do that appeal to their need to explore natural wonders, the cultural history of the place and chill out on the beach at the end of the day.

From exploring hiking trails at Akaka Falls State Park, to visiting the national volcano parks, snorkelling and whale watching, the list of things you can do in places like Honolulu and the Hamakua Coast is endless.
