Holidaying the zodiac way

Are you dying to take a vacation, but don't know what to do this summer? Let your sun sign decide that for you! Here's the type of vacation you're most likely to take, based on your Zodiac sign:

Aries

Arians love travelling. They enjoy exploring new places - the more, the better for Arians. So it does not matter if it's a trekking expedition to Auli, Uttarakhand or a shopping spree in Dubai. They will make sure to make the most of it. Yohan Luis, 19-year-old student agrees and says, "Traveling for me is exciting! Name the place and I'll visit it! I just need my plans to come out well. If you're talking about exploring new places, I must say I'm good at finding secret corners and hidden spots!"

Taurus

Taureans enjoy the peace and quiet. To ensure this, they will plan a trip to one destination, soak it in and come back recharged. They are very likely to organise every aspect of their travel. Wynet Vaz, 18-year-old student could not agree more. "At the risk of sounding cliched, I think there comes a point when I am so fed up of the stress and running around that city life entails, I simply want to go somewhere peaceful. I like going to a place where everything moves as planned and there are no worries, tensions, qualms. It should be just me sunbathing on the beaches of Goa."

Gemini

Geminis love frequent travelling. However, variety is what keeps them hooked. Cities like London, Rome, Paris or New York will be good spots for those born under this sign. "So true!" exclaims Nikita George, 23-year-old media professional. "An adventure like the book Around the World in 80 Days would be a dream come true for me! A single destination could get monotonous. I would love to explore different places, taste various cuisines, and experience different cultures all in a single travel plan!"

Cancer

Cancerians love the water. They will love any holiday that includes water sports like swimming, deep water diving or snorkeling. Being one of the most emotional signs, they will love to travel either with friends, family or their spouses. Malini Chhabria, 27-year-old banker agrees. "Travelling for me would be all about myself! Maybe I'd go with a couple of friends or family. I love holidaying by the water. You'll either find me by the pool or the sea!"

Leo

Leos love travelling on their own to places where they can relax and be one with the surroundings. Like Taureans, they too plan every detail of their holidays. Sufia Khan, a 27-year-old PR professional says she'd love to vacation somewhere in Europe. "I need to go somewhere where I could chill and be away from stress and tension of work," she explains.

Virgo

Known for their organisational skills, Virgos' holidays will be carefully itinerated. Do not expect them to do anything unconventional or adventurous on their travels. It is most likely to be something that involves scheduled sight seeing with maps in hand. Neeraj, a 20-year-old student, says "I drive all my friends crazy the way I plan and re-plan my trip. I would love to tour Jaipur-Udaipur!"

Libra

Librans are most likely to travel in large groups, socialise along the way and make new friends in the end. They are most likely to opt for romantic and exotic destinations like Venice and Prague. Grishma Vasani, 28-year-old teacher could not agree more. "I would love to go somewhere snowy. In India I'd love to visit Kashmir or go would love to see Gstaad in Switzerland. These places are so romantic!" she says.

Scorpio

Like with everything else, Scorpions like their travel to be pleasurable too. So expect them to jet to places known for luxe clothes, such as Milan, or exotic spas maybe in Kerala or Thailand or simply delicious food (think Italy!). It stands true for G Venkatesh, 23-year-old Event Manager. "It would be so cool to go for the OktoberFest beer festival in Munich, Germany," he says enthusiastically.

Sagittarius

Sags love the action. They love varied experiences and make sure their holiday offers them that. They are most likely to head to places with lot of night clubs and fun activities, such as Goa, London or New York. "I just went to Singapore recently and loved it! I loved the noise and the people - it's such a vibrant place and there's so much you can do! Eat, shop, play the tourist at Sentosa. We had a fabulous time!" says Anushree Sah, 25, a Finance executive.

Capricorn

Those born under the sign of the Goat are most likely to travel for business rather than pleasure. Places that are less touristy and remote attract them. "I would love to go somewhere like a beach house at Mandwa, near Mumbai or the Aurobindo Ashram at Pondicherry - anywhere away from the crowd. That's my idea of a vacation!" says Meenakshi N, a 23-year-old media planner.

Aquarius

Aquarians like being sociable and so will travel in groups. They will travel to places that have something exciting to offer.

Kritika Sirohi, 19-year-old student says she would "love to go to Goa with friends. After all, there's so much you can do in that crazy!"

Pisces

These lovers of the sea will enjoy any holiday to do with beaches, swimming and the likes. Sometimes, these generous souls are likely to combine charity along with their travel.

G Vatsan, 20-year-old student seems to agree. He says, "I would love to chill on an island with my friends."
