Aries always let their passions lead the way, and their vacation personalities are a perfect reflection of that. These fire signs tend to be very free-spirited and carefree when they’re traveling, and they’re always ready to dive into an impromptu adventure. Aries’ prefer to be able to follow their impulses while they’re on the go, so sticking to a strict itinerary isn’t their style. They need room for spontaneity in their vacations if they’re going to make the most of them.

Sensual Tauruses love luxury, so their vacation personality is all about milking maximum pleasure out of every experience. Taurus people are about quality over quantity, so they’d rather invest in a lavish getaway with high-quality accommodations instead of taking more frequent but less opulent trips. Planning ahead is important for these diligent earth signs, and they appreciate having a solid itinerary, so long as it leaves plenty of time for relaxation, too.

Quirky and quizzical Geminis need lots of mental stimulation, and their vacation personalities are no different.

When it comes to sweet and sensitive Cancers, their vacation personalities are all about going with the flow and soaking up the vibes.

The cosmic crab can be a little moody sometimes, so it’s important for them to travel with people who give them space to do what they feel like in the moment.

Leos like to be the center of attention, and when it comes to their vacation personality, they want to feel like the leader of the pack.

Refined and detail-oriented Virgos like to keep things simple — but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to indulge in the finer things in life sometimes.

Libras are true social butterflies, and their vacation personality fully highlights their desire to connect with people. Whenever these diplomatic air signs head out of town, they enjoy mingling with the locals, exploring the area’s nightlife, and otherwise tapping into the social scene. Libras also love to have a partner in crime, so vacationing with an equally extroverted friend or lover is their ideal scenario. Relaxing is great, but Libras prefer to stay busy during their travels, so they’re always ready to take in something new.

Some people take vacations to get out of their comfort zone and go wild — but for sensitive Scorpios, time off is best spent going somewhere that makes them feel ultra cozy, homey, and emotionally connected. Relaxing in a quaint beachside cottage or a rustic cabin in the woods is much more Scorpio’s style than packing a busy itinerary with all sorts of high-energy activities. Traveling with close friends or family members is also important for these transformation-seeking water signs, as is visiting places with some ancestral meaning to them.

Capricorns are incredibly disciplined and responsible people who rarely take a break from their ground. But when they go on a vacation, they know they’ve earned the break — and that’s why they want their trips to be as thoroughly planned as possible.

So long as a trip is planned well, a Capricorn doesn’t need anything too fancy or complicated. A simple getaway with some attention to detail is all they really crave.

Community-minded Aquarians love to explore unusual new places and connect with the local social scene in whatever faraway destination they’ve set off to. But these forward-thinking air signs want to connect with the culture of an area, too — so visiting art museums, admiring the beauty of local architecture, or doing some artisan shopping is exactly how they’d like to spend their vacation days. Aquarians have a big circle, but when they travel, they prefer one-on-one connections. So having a lover, friend, or compatible travel buddy to accompany them on trips is key.

Dreamy and ethereal Pisces are introverts with big imaginations, and their travel personalities are just as deep and mystical as you’d expect. These water signs see traveling as an opportunity to learn more about themselves and reflect on where they’re at in life, so they like to visit places that set the stage for some tranquility and peace. Trips to spiritual hotspots or other destinations rich in symbolism are ideal for a Pisces, so whatever they do for vacation, they should leave plenty of time for solitude and deep thoughts.
