Believe it or not, some believe your star sign influences how and where you travel. For instance, Cancerians are best to steer clear of action-filled holidays like Las Vegas, whereas Arians thrive on busy and bustling destinations.

And, not only do they believe your star sign can influence your choice of
destination but, by looking at your travel compatibility with other star signs, it can also give clues to who you should holiday with and who you should be leaving at home. 

Travel company Expedia.co.nz, together with astrologer Devorah, has put together this guide to recommended destinations for your star sign and to reveal which of your friends and family are your most compatible travelling partners.

Aquarius (21 January – 19 February)

When it comes to travel, you are open-mined, independent and have no interest in the ordinary. You prefer 'alternative' holidays, where you can explore and embrace whatever comes your way. You crave mental stimulation and have a fascination for the ancient, as well as the technological, scientific, and astronomical.

Where to visit: Mexico, the UK or Peru.

Top travel companions:Geminis, Librans, Arians or Sagittarians.

Expedia travel tip: Aquarians need to remain entertained while travelling so it's a good idea to plan ahead.

Pisces (20 February – 21 March)

You are the dreamer of the Zodiac and are an extremely perceptive, emotional and creative soul. When travelling, you are naturally drawn to places where you can escape reality and indulge in some 'dream time'. Spiritual retreats, romantic cruises or simply watching the sun set over the ocean are perfect holiday options for Pisceans.

Where to visit: Tibet, Prague (Czech Republic) or Hawaii (USA).

Top travel companions: Scorpios, Cancerians, Taureans or Capricorns.

 Aries (21 March – 20 April)

You are the trailblazer of the Zodiac and only high-energy, exhilarating adventure holidays will suffice. As an Aries, you crave adrenaline so holidays that are pioneering or offer activities, such as hiking, water rafting or skydiving, are a perfect fit. You also embrace new experiences so will cram as much as you possibly can into one day.

Where to visit: New Zealand, Africa, Aspen (USA).

Top travel companions: Leos, Sagittarians, Geminis or Aquarians. However, roaming the world with more cautiously inclined Cancerians or Capricorns will require lots of patience!

Expedia travel tip: An activities-rich itinerary is a must for adrenalin junkie Aries, so make sure there are no gaps for boredom to creep in.

Taurus (21 April – 21 May)

Earthy Taureans are ruled by the Planet Venus, the Goddess of love and beauty, which makes you the most sensuous sign of the zodiac. When it comes to travel, you want an itinerary filled with lots of pampering and sumptuous pleasures. Luxury hotels, five-star meals, exquisite art and music are the makings for a perfect holiday in the eyes of a Taurean.

Where to visit:Cuba, Hawaii (USA), Ireland or Hungary.

Top travel companions: Virgos, Capricorns, Cancerians or Pisceans. As complete relaxation appeals, it can be wise to limit time with sociable Leos and Aquarians.

Expedia travel tip: Taureans like to be spoilt so luxury is a must. For Taureans who want luxury but don't want to break the bank, Expedia offers value-for-money deals on 4-and 5-star accommodation through Deal Hunter.

Gemini (22 May – 21 June)

You are always searching for a challenge and are recognised as a curious and adventurous traveller. Travelling gives you the opportunity to have exciting new experiences and learn something at the same time, essential ingredients in keeping the multi-tasking Gemini twins busily content. You want to explore and immerse yourself in the local culture while on holiday. The more off-the-beaten-track the better!

Where to visit: Amsterdam (Netherlands), San Francisco (USA), Shanghai (China), Tokyo (Japan) or Scotland.

Top travel companions: Aquarians, Librans, Arians or Leos.

Expedia travel tip:Consider booking accommodation outside main tourist areas so that you get more of a feel for the local culture.

Cancer (22 June – 23 July)

You are the most emotional and sensitive star sign so you cherish the safe and familiar. If travelling abroad, you may want to opt for a boutique hotel or B&B for a more homely and welcoming feel. Your love of water makes seaside holidays a popular choice.

Where to visit: Italy, New Zealand, the UK or Niagara Falls (USA).

Top travel companions: Pisceans, Scorpios, Taureans or Virgos. Travelling with extroverted Arian or Libran personalities might strain your easily influenced emotions.

Expedia travel tip: Cancerians will benefit from reading traveller reviews to make sure they're signing up to a friendly and warm experience.

Leo (23 July – 21 August)

Like the sign of Leo, the Lion, you like to be the centre of attention and treated like the 'King of the Jungle'. When travelling, only the very best will do. As an extroverted sign, you generally don't enjoy off-the-beaten-track destinations but rather a first-class cruise stopping in some of the world's most famous and glamorous cities where going to the theatre and eating at lavish restaurants are high on the to-do list.

Where to visit: London (UK), New York (USA) or Rome (Italy).

Top travel companions: Arians, Sagittarians, Geminis or Librans.

Expedia travel tip: Leos love to boast about their travel experiences so make sure you tick all the must-do's in the destinations you visit and book ahead if something is popular so you are not disappointed.

Virgo (22 August – 23 September)

Virgos are constantly striving for self-improvement and are very goal driven, even when on holiday. You typically enjoy holidays which allow you to be productive, so health retreats and trekking holidays are the kind which will appeal to you. As a Virgo, you are prone to worrying so you should steer clear of dangerous destinations or activities.

Where to visit:Swiss Alps (Switzerland), China or Singapore.

Top travel companions: Taureans, Capricorns, Scorpios and Cancerians. Avoid holidaying with lively signs like Geminis or Sagittarians.

Expedia travel tip: Virgos tend to get a little nervous when travelling. To keep your mind at ease, don't leave the house without travel insurance.

Libra (24 September – 23 October)

The classic Libran is a peacemaker who strives for harmony in everything they do. Ruled by the planet Venus, you are also all about relationships, so solo travel should be avoided. Experiencing the arts, music and fashion are important to you when travelling, so destinations that ooze style and elegance are a must.

Where to visit: Paris (France), Milan (Italy), Brazil or Ibiza (Spain).

Top travel companions: Geminis, Aquarians, Leos or Sagittarians.

Expedia travel tip: Librans don't like confrontation so make sure you map out and agree your itinerary with your travelling companion well before your departure to avoid any arguments along the way.

Scorpio (24 October – 23 November)

Traditionally, Scorpios lead an intense and busy life. So when it comes to a holiday, many Scorpios crave complete privacy and seclusion, in a quest to completely unwind and drop out of society for a while. You are incapable of lukewarm feelings and this means you either love or hate a destination, so a lot of planning and research should be done before you decide on a destination or you might be left disappointed.

Where to visit: Jordan, Egypt or Madrid (Spain).

Top travel companions:Pisceans, Cancerians, Virgos or Capricorns.

Expedia travel tip: Research, research, research. Make customer reviews your best friend when planning a holiday.

Sagittarius (24 November – 21 December)

Always researching, you could write a book on travel and are always keen to explore exotic places. You love to travel far in body and mind. Being adventurous, spontaneous and optimistic means you are great to travel with. You are often so focused on the end goal you don't always look before you leap, preferring to trust your gut instinct.

Where to visit: India, Morocco or Jordan.

Top travel companions:Arians, Leos, Aquarians or Geminis.

Capricorn (22 December – 20 January)

You are conservative, respectful, discerning and generally admire history and tradition. You are likely to enjoy travelling to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) world heritage sites or visiting places that hold cultural or historical significance. Visiting world-famous art galleries and museums will be high on your agenda.

Where to visit: London (UK), Washington (USA), Prague (Czech Republic), Amalfi Coast (Italy) or Paris (France).

Top travel companions: Taureans, Virgos, Scorpios or Pisceans.
