Cancer

Any Leo in your life is likely fiercely proud, loyal, and confident. They like to be seen as leaders and consider themselves trailblazers—so don’t be surprised if they seek out a destination’s hidden gems, going where few have gone before. For example, why just hit the beach when they could rent a kayak and paddle across to the St. Lucie Inlet Preserve State Park (and have the uncrowded shores all to themselves)? They’ll also want to check out the newest openings in town, whether it be catching a limited-run show at the Lyric Theatre or swinging by a brand-new restaurant to boast a bit on Instagram.
Virgo

Common Traits: Reliable, Analytical, Intelligent

Friends and family alike can count on Virgo to bring all the moving pieces together. Expect fun outings like a sunset sailing on the Schooner Lily, a day of play at the Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast, or even a farm-to-table dinner demonstration at Kai-Kai Farm in Indiantown.
Libra

Whether it be a surf lesson with Ohana Surf Shop, an afternoon cruise with Sunshine Wildlife Tours, or renting a waverunner from Feet Wet Adventures, Scorpios are sure to make a splash wherever they go.
Sagittarius
Dates: November 22 – December 21
Common Traits: Optimistic, Clever, Honest
Type of Trip: Bucket List Trip
Travel is in the DNA of any Sagittarius. With an ever-expanding bucket list, these globetrotters are always on the hunt for their next adventure and are known to have a bit of a wild streak. Nothing is off-limits for a Sagittarius and “go big or go home” is definitely the mentality. Hydro-foiling over the waves with Next Level Watersports? Absolutely. Embarking on a horseback riding tour through the wilds of Old Florida? Without a doubt. Joining a crystal bowl sound vibrational healing session at the Elliott? Sign them up.
Capricorn
Dates: December 22 – January 19
Common Traits: Prudent, Disciplined, Patient
Type of Trip: Historical Tour
Capricorns are known as the taskmasters of the Zodiac and like to feel in control of their destiny. They want to dive headfirst into destinations with a rich history, and also appreciate experiences that activate their intellect. They’ll enjoy hearing tales of yesteryear during a Stuart Segway Tour, by chatting with the historians at the House of Refuge (which is also the oldest building in Martin County), or by visiting attractions like the Road to Victory Military Museum and the Stuart Heritage Museum. In fact, the entire Martin County Historic Preservation Tour would be a perfect fit.
Aquarius
Dates: January 20 – February 18
Common Traits: Inventive, Independent, Original
Type of Trip: Off-the-Beaten-Path Getaway
Eclectic Aquarius is always looking to take the road less traveled. Curious and daring, these people don’t shy away from the weird or unusual and they love finding a new angle. So instead of staying on the beach, they might seek out a rustic escape at the historic Seminole Inn. While others visit Port Salerno for the incredible fishing and fresh seafood, they’ll opt to learn about the community during a Port Salerno Ghost Tour. If it’s off-the-beaten-path, you can count them in.
Pisces
Dates: February 19 – March 20
Common Traits: Imaginative, Selfless, Impulsive
Type of Trip: Spontaneous Escape
Like a fish in the ocean, Pisces is always going with the flow. While this makes them easy travelers to please, it can also present some challenges for their more decisive companions. They’ll do best with loose itineraries and spontaneous experiences. Often called the environmentalist of the Zodiac, they also hold a deep appreciation for the earth. Try booking a last-minute eco-adventure, like learning about Martin County’s diverse ecosystem on a paddle tour or joining a ranger-led hike through Jonathan Dickinson State Park. And don’t forget to visit attractions like the Hobe Sound Nature Center and the Treasure Coast Wildlife Center.
