Travel is written in the stars

As one of the zodiac’s most particular signs, Virgo journeys are researched exhaustively then planned meticulously. “Be prepared” is not just the Boy Scout motto—it’s the Virgo way of life. Ruled by analytical, data-driven Mercury, your mind is sharp. You may have to stop yourself from playing docent once you arrive on site. But hey, that city guide you’ve studied (and memorized!) will come in handy, ensuring that you don’t miss a single highlight, from the historical museum to the café with the best avocado toast.

Clean, green and serene is your travel trinity! Lodging can be simple but chic, ideally giving you easy access to the outdoors. You adore luxury, too, but prefer if it’s sustainable and environmentally conscious. You may even add a service component to you trip, like bringing goods to an orphanage or helping to build homes. Or your health-conscious sign will travel to run a 5K for charity or do bikini boot camp.

You’re drawn to the mystical in 2023, an introspective year which could lead you to some awe-inspiring sites. Bundle up and headvery far north (and off the grid) to the Swedish Lapland for a stunning view of the Northern Lights. Stay in an ice cave overnight, go for a dogsledding ride and spot a literal reindeer.

Virgo, the sign of service, aligns with the gold aura, a glow that is both magnetic and selfless at once. Although you strive for excellence, you do so for the love of your craft, not for competitive urges. Disciplined and supportive, people with a gold aura are known for their intellect and creativity.
