How to pick a post-pandemic vacation spot, based on your zodiac sign

With more and more people getting vaccinated every day, stepping out of your house to do something other than a quick run to the grocery store is becoming increasingly possible. Some countries have started lifting travel restrictions, with many others following suit but with strict guidelines. While it’s still advisable to adhere to social distancing and self-quarantining guidelines till the situation comes fully under control, there’s no reason why you can’t start planning your first post-pandemic vacation ahead of time. The first step is, however, to pick the kind of vacation and the place you would like to travel to. The choices and possibilities are endless, so we figured why not turn to the stars to help you choose? Here’s the kind of vacation you could plan based on your zodiac sign.

Aries

For an adventurous and passionate spirit like yours, Aries, you need plenty of outdoor time to recuperate from the days spent cocooned inside your house for safety. Think skydiving in Dubai, trekking exotic mountains in Peru or through the valleys of Coorg, or going river rafting in Rishikesh. You need to get that adrenaline pumping on your uncomplicated yet challenging trip.

Taurus

If anyone understands the importance of pampering oneself, it’s you Taurus. Your vacation needs to be lush, luxurious, but also something that nourishes your mind. You want to be treated like royalty, and there’s no place better suited for you other than the city of Jaipur, where you can indulge in all your castle-dwelling fantasies. You could also head on over to Sula Vineyards in Nashik, Maharashtra for an all-access tour of their winery and a wine-tasting session at their heritage winery resort. 

Gemini

As a person who appreciates versatility and new experiences, your vacation needs to be mentally stimulating, Gemini. You need a kind of holiday where you could learn new things but at the same time, enjoy some downtime too. A sightseeing trip across Europe seems to be tailor-made for you. The wide and varied music and art scene is right up your alley. Alternatively, you can also explore the different art galleries and heritage tours in the capital city of Delhi as well.

Cancer

Cancerians, by nature, are homebodies. Usually, it would be difficult to convince them to step out of the comfort of their room to explore the great outdoors. But after a year of being forced to stay inside, it’s safe to say that a little vacation would sound like a winning idea. Being innately romantic, sensitive, and emotional, a Cancerian’s ideal vacation would be where they could spend time with their loved ones. A tranquil staycation at a homestay like the Elgin Hall in Dalhousie, Himachal Pradesh, or a trip to Disneyland with your family or friends might just be what you need.

Leo

A party-fuelled getaway where your inner Leo can thrive under the vibrant spotlight is exactly what you need for a post-pandemic vacation. The raucous bars and award-winning restaurants-lined streets of New Orleans, USA, are where you need to be. Or if you’re looking for something closer to home, you can head over to Goa and party to your heart’s content.

Virgo

You’re a natural-born helper, Virgo, and you deserve to take some time out for yourself. Since you particularly appreciate organisation and clarity of plans, a wellness retreat, where all you have to do is let go of your niggling stresses and relax, is what you should be going for. A hot springs retreat nestled amongst the lush greenery of Malaysia, or a spa trip to detox, like the Atmantan in Maharashtra, or Ananda in Uttrakhand are great options for you.

Libra

Libra is known to be the sign of love and beauty. Your holiday needs to have the romanticism and aesthetic that you so appreciate. Nothing says romance like an indulgent trip to Paris or the streets of Florence, Italy, where you can soak up all the culture and beauty in the air (all while taking some incredible photographs for your memory and Instagram feed). A lesser-known spot that might appeal to you is Hampi, Karnataka, where the hauntingly beautiful temples and historic architecture will inspire and rejuvenate your spirit.

Scorpio

Take the leap and plan that solo trip you’ve always wanted to go for, Scorpio. You love to push your boundaries and don’t like to stay within a comfort zone, so your ideal vacation would be something that would challenge and essentially transform your spirit. A backpacking trip through the lesser-known Eastern European countries, a visit to the active volcanoes in Hawaii, or a camping trip through the formidable Gobi Desert in Mongolia, are some options that you can choose from.

Sagittarius

Out of all the zodiacs, yours is the one that is a born traveler, Sagittarius. You’re an innate explorer who is easy-going and love to be surrounded by positive-thinking people. You long to travel to far-flung places that you haven’t explored yet. Post-pandemic, you can make your way to the North-eastern corner of the country to travel through places like Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh with its cascading mountains and hot springs. Or Meghalaya, where you can immerse yourself in the stunning natural landscape and come back from your trip with new and exciting tales of adventure.

Capricorn

Ambitious and hard taskmasters, Capricorns love to be surrounded by the comforts and amenities provided by a city, especially when they’re on a vacation. You need to visit a place where you can get around with minimal fuss and explore the space efficiently. A bustling metro city like Seoul, South Korea, or London, where you can get the best of both worlds in exploring the high-octane city life and the different culture, is perfect for you.

Aquarius

You love vast, rolling spaces as they appeal to your independent and creative nature. You’re also naturally drawn to explore places with a rich local culture that can enrich your soul. When planning a trip, Aquarius, keep this in mind and you will end up having the best experience. You can go for lesser-known vacation spots like Chaukori, a little hamlet nestled in the Kumaon Himalayas of Uttarakhand, or Khajjiar, a hill station in Himachal Pradesh that is known for its stunning lakes and sprawling green landscapes.

Pisces

The most spiritually inclined sign needs a vacation that lets them relax, detox and purify themselves after this stressful time. Being a water sign, a beach getaway or any place close to a waterbody is perfect for Pisces. An Ayurvedic retreat in Alleppey, Kerala, with its network of canals and lagoons in the backwaters of the Laccadive Sea will give you the much-needed break from your routine. You can also splurge and go on a trip to Iceland where the ethereal glaciers, stark landscape of lagoons and cliffs, will transport you to another world easily.
