While we all may feel drawn to certain bucket list locations while we plan our travels, we sometimes have difficulty deciding which to check off the list first. Do we take that trendy fitness vacation, or escape into the heart of a jungle? Do we find solace in a spiritual retreat, or make new friends at a party on the beach? Using astrology as our guide, we’ve made it easy for you to choose your next destination with this list based on each sign of the zodiac. By Amy Solara Mackey
If you know your rising and/or moon sign, use those as the guides to help you choose your travel destination below, since they rule your physical reality. If you only know your sun sign (based on the month you were born), that’s OK, and this list will still help.
