Aries Travel Horoscope: Iceland
Born between: March 20 – April 19
Forever the adventurer, you’re fearless, full of life and always up for a challenge. As the first sign of the zodiac, you’re used to setting trends and leading the way, whether it’s jetting off to undiscovered destinations, or painting the famed Last Supper. You could say, you’re the ultimate trailblazer.
When it comes to your travel style, you live life by one motto: work hard, travel harder. You’re not the spend-all-day-meticulously-detailing-every-hour-of-your-trip kind of person, you’re the “let’s go yesterday” kind. Once you get your heart set on a destination, it’s only a matter of time before you’re there.
So naturally, exploring the Land of Fire and Ice is the perfect fit for you. As the bold intrepid explorer you are, Iceland offers everything your daring heart desires, from breathtaking waterfalls to the spectacular Northern Lights.

Each day is a luxurious escape waiting to be had with you, independent Taurus, and there’s nowhere better to indulge yourself in nature’s bounty than Canada.
You feel most at home when you’re surrounded by things of beauty and Canada checks all of the boxes. Adventure at every turn? Check. Stunning landscapes and natural beauty? Check, and check.

You lead with your heart and trust your instincts more than any other sign of the zodiac. Though going with your gut comes naturally to you, you often find yourself making personal sacrifices to help your friends, family and even the occasional stranger.
When you aren’t serving your fellow man you’re off galavanting across the globe, enjoying gourmet meals, basking in the summer sun and letting your inventive spirit roam free.

Leo Travel Horoscope: Kenya
Born between: July 22 – August 22
You are proud, regal and elegant, Leo, much like the majestic lion that represents your sign. You possess certain fiery energy that can’t be ignored. In the animal kingdom, you dominate the land, in the social world, you dominate the conversation. No gathering, group or trend is complete without a Leo in the mix, after all, what would cinema be without Alfred Hitchcock? What would Harry Potter (the movies) be without Daniel Radcliffe, or worse yet, what would Harry Potter (the books) be without J.K. Rowling?
There’s no doubt that the world wouldn’t be the same without you boldly taking the reigns and getting things done. You’re often quite spontaneous when planning your next adventure but you always consider how Instagram-worthy the place is, and how far your money will stretch. Because making your friends jealous and living each day like the king of the jungle are two of your favourite things. So, naturally, heading to Kenya is the perfect vacation for you. With the sun, sand, awe-inspiring national parks, and the nearest pride only a few kilometres away, you’ll instantly feel at home.

You exude a certain sophistication that many try to imitate, few can actually duplicate and none can truly resist, much like the throngs of fans that follow the Beyonce Knowles’, Jimmy Fallon’s and Michael Jackson’s of the world.
For you, more than any other sign, a getaway is just that, a chance to get away. Known for your practical and analytical mind you prefer to weigh out all of our options before making any decision. So when you meticulously begin planning your dream vacation, you look for a place that will not only stimulate your senses, but one that is somewhat remote where you can really disconnect, relax and recharge (away from all the crowds of adoring fans), and there’s nowhere better to do all of that and more than Indonesia.

However, keeping the scales balanced at all times is no easy feat and can often leave you feeling a bit worn out and indecisive.
