Though astrology goes far beyond the twelve individual star signs, your sun sign is a rough framework for understanding certain personality traits.
For example, Taurus is both hedonistic and stubborn which means people under this sign need to be put in charge of the travel logistics, but having a taste for the finer things in life means that they will 100% find somewhere sleek. Where a Capricorn seeks ultra-luxe, a Scorpio seeks functionality—and a Virgo aims for a bit of both.
Having an awareness of your birth chart can contextualise these characteristics with some more clarity, and certain attributes can sometimes lean more toward your moon or ascendant (rising). Whether you identify more with your sun, rising or moon sign is a whole other conversation. For now, we’ve selected the destinations and hotels to bookmark for later based on your star sign.
Capricorn
December 22nd – January 20th
Emails and work requests are on overdrive as usual for you Capricorn, nothing’s changed in that department. When this is all over, you’d do well to switch off your devices and take some real time out for your loved ones since you typically hold strong family values.

Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Self-isolation and solitude are very different, and you often crave the latter to function. Sometimes a real lonesome break is all you need to recharge and think clearly, Aquarius.

ETT Hem in Stockholm merges beautiful design and minimalism in an aesthetic that you’d appreciate. The custom-made wooden stools, ceramics and antiques won’t go unmissed with an eye like yours.
Gemini
May 21 – June 21
You are constantly on the search for new experiences and knowledge, Gemini, and should use this temporary period of self-isolation as an opportunity to read and plan away to your heart’s content. You flourish in the department of creating fun-packed itineraries with a mix of history, sightseeing and dancing.
Ideally, your hotel of choice offers variety which is why we suggest bookmarking Arthaus Beirut to truly reap the benefits of an eclectic city break.

July 23 – August 23

Virgo
August 23 – September 22

You require somewhere with rolling vineyards to fulfil your tasteful tendencies mixed with the thrills of a pumping party scene. Not to forget a well organised holiday as much as an organised hotel room for a Virgo.
