Do you find yourself thinking of sunny days in the Bahamas, or traveling the world with nothing but a backpack? Maybe those thoughts never cross your mind. Either way, some of us really love to hit the road and travel, and some prefer to cozy up at home with a fire and some hot chocolate.
Astrologers say that certain zodiac signs are more inclined to have a travel itch. Some signs revel in meeting different cultures and jet-setting across the world, and cannot get enough of seeing what is out there.
Keep reading as I divulge which three zodiac signs have the biggest passion for travel and who always seem blessed with opportunities to see the world.
The Planet That Rules Travel and Adventure in Astrology
In astrology, there is one planet that energetically rules over travel, adventure, and our desire to journey off into the great unknown. And that planet is Jupiter.
Often called the “Great Benefic,” Jupiter has an expansive, optimistic energy that encourages us to broaden our horizons. This largest planet in our solar system governs philosophy, higher learning, prosperity, luck, and yes – the insatiable wanderlust that lives deep in the soul of every avid traveler and adventurer.
When Jupiter’s rays shine down on us from its lofty perch out there amongst the stars, we’re filled with renewed hope and vision. Obstacles no longer seem so daunting or fearsome. Instead, the possibility opens up along the road less traveled, pulling us toward new frontiers near and far that spark our imaginations.
Jupiter says anything is achievable through knowledge and experience. Its energy wants to show us that there are always more wondrous people to meet in distant lands or just around the corner, eye-opening cultural perspectives and truths to discover as we journey across this gorgeous, diverse world of ours.
So the next time you feel the irrepressible urge to throw caution to the wind and book that spontaneous trip abroad or adventure-filled excursion out in nature – blame it on Jupiter’s gravitational pull!
Top 3 Zodiac Signs Who Love To Travel
1. Sagittarius
Of all the signs in the zodiac, Sagittarians are the true wanderers who feel perpetually called to journey onto new adventures. Why? Because Sagittarius is governed by Jupiter, the lucky planet of travel, good fortune and expansion. This imbues those born under the Archer sign with an innate urge to explore, discover, and revel in the joy of the open road.
More than any other sign, fun-loving Sags crave freedom and abhor boredom. They view travel as a philosophical quest to understand perspectives outside their own. Crossing another captivating destination off their bucket list or spontaneously backpacking across Southeast Asia brings them life’s meaning.
These fiery spirits bubble over with enthusiasm to sample exotic cuisine from street vendors in Singapore, dance with locals during Brazil’s Carnival, go on wildlife safaris in Kenya, soak up spirituality at Indian ashrams, or zip line over Costa Rican rainforests. They collect passport stamps and unique experiences.
Of course, the downside is that Sagittarians struggle with restlessness. They feel depressed if life’s circumstances force them to stay put in one place for too long without adventure to feed their souls. But give them back their traveling shoes, and Jupiter’s optimistic children thrive again – already planning the next voyage to an undiscovered paradise.
2. Aquarius
Quirky, innovative Aquarians also feel a strong pull toward travel and expanding their horizons beyond the well-trodden path. As air signs, they need frequent mental stimulation that visiting diverse new locales can provide. But it’s their humanitarian instincts that make adventuring especially alluring to these water bearers.
Aquarians have a passion for understanding people, ideologies and ways of life that differ from the mainstream. Their ruling planet Uranus makes them natural rebels who think outside the box and aim to shake up the status quo. Backpacking through politically activist communities or off-the-grid artistic enclaves inspires them.
These folk will happily trade typical tourist luxuries for more offbeat adventures – hanging out in avant-garde Berlin nightclubs, attending Burning Man festivals in the Nevada desert, and couch surfing with anarchist collectives in Prague. They view travel as expanding their unconventional perspectives, not merely casual sightseeing.
Of course, there’s a fine line for freedom-loving Aquarians between productive envelope-pushing and reckless rule-breaking while abroad. Either way, these progressive water bearers will leap at any opportunity to voyage away from the familiar and immerse themselves in exotic countercultures that challenge their views and move humanity forward.
3. Gemini
Ruled by messenger planet Mercury, Geminis have a knack for facilely blending into diverse locales, seamlessly adapting to new cultures and customs with childlike awe and enthusiasm. Backpacking through the streets of Marrakesh energizes them as much as Italian gelato because variety excites them.
Playful Gemini’s duality perfectly suits the travel lifestyle allowing them to shapeshift their vibes – hiking Peruvian ruins by day and dancing the tango in Buenos Aires by night. Split-personality twins don’t easily fall into routine so they relish extended trips letting whimsy guide their itinerary with nary an alarm clock in sight to cramp their freedom.
Now, overstuffed luggage and tangled adapter cords may abound because disorganization plagues Mercurial Geminis. But a small price to pay for delighting their inquisitive minds and souls with an endless global tapas feast of poignant conversations.
