With lockdown easing it is no surprise that staycations have seen a staggering 1,150% Google Trends increase in the UK over the past few months.
But what type of staycation is right for you?
You could of course pick one at random, but if you’re interested in guidance depending on your star sign, PsychicWorld.com has helpfully matched a weekend staycation idea to the personality trait of each of the 12 zodiac signs.
Here’s what they’ve come up with:
As an Earth sign, Taurus’ love being close to nature and relaxing in serene, rustic environments – making a hiking holiday the perfect staycation. Ruled by Venus, Taurus’ are extremely tactile beings who thrive when engaging all their senses, making an outdoor retreat the perfect opportunity to unwind and spiritually cleanse. With the UK being home to some beautiful scenic locations, from the Lake District to the Isle of Sky, there are plenty of famous hiking trails for a bull to explore.
Plain old camping won’t quite cut it for a Gemini (they are akin to two people in one) so let’s step it up a notch and go glamping! Ruled by Mercury, Geminis love to explore but are known to treasure their home comforts, making a luxury outdoors staycation the perfect match. If you’re a Gemini suffering from job burnout, a short glamping break offers an opportunity to regenerate every part of your complex character. Popular glamping sites in the UK include Dorset, Surrey and Devon where there is access to beautiful scenery and walking routes alongside cafés, restaurants and pubs – ideal for this impulsive air sign!
Cancerians are known to be the mothers of the zodiac signs as they are sensitive, caring and effortlessly pick up on energy. A spa weekend is the perfect staycation for Cancer signs, allowing them to practice self-care; care that would otherwise be spent on someone, or something, else. Ruled by the moon, this sensual and food loving sign would love nothing more than a swim and massage before brunch and bubbles.
Ruled by the Sun and represented by a lion, Leos are known for their vivacious, theatrical and passionate personas making a buzzing, big city break the perfect summer staycation for this fire sign. In a recent study conducted by OnBuy.com, York, Bath and Perth were named as the UK’s most popular city staycations of 2021. Seeped in history, home to beautiful bars and restaurants and offering a range of outdoor activities – these top three locations might be worth looking into for the dynamic Kings and Queens of the zodiac.
Virgos have a taste for the finer things in life, making a weekend wine tasting staycation ideal for this Earth sign. Symbolised by a maiden, Virgos embody both beauty and elegance making wine tasting on the rolling hills of Chapel Down, Kent or the Greyfriars, Surrey, aesthetically the perfect match! However, Virgos are known for their stubborn practicality – so don’t let this get in the way of a care-free weekend!
The harmonious Libra, much like a Taurus, is ruled by Venus, sharing a love for the outdoors but also, as an air sign, a desire to explore intellectual interests through socialising and the arts. Across the UK this summer there are several Art, Film and Car weekend festivals scheduled to take place. This provides the perfect balance of fun and intellectual stimulation as an environment where a Libra can connect with likeminded people and immerse themselves in their passions.
Brave, determined and energetic Scorpios need a jam packed, active staycation to let off some steam! And where else does this water sign feel more comfortable other than by the sea, making a water sport weekend the perfect staycation. From surfing in Cornwall, scuba diving in Scotland, to kayaking in Devon there a plenty of locations to look out for this summer.
One key characteristic of an air sign is that they can’t sit still, and the Sagittarius is no exception. After a year stuck inside, this sign, seen as an embodiment of expansion and freedom, is most likely eager to be everywhere and anywhere all at once, making a motor home holiday the ideal weekend staycation. From walking in the Welsh countryside to wining and dining in Cardiff city, you’ll never be too far from the adventure in a motor home.
The reliable and strong fathers of the zodiac, Capricorns are an Earth sign ruled by Saturn. Much like their Taurus and Virgo counterparts, this sign can unwind best in a natural setting making a country break vital for a Capricorn looking to recharge and refresh. However, being ruled by Saturn means despite being calm and practical you lack spontaneity so try to let go and see where your country break takes you.
Aquarius is the sign of spirituality. Those under this sign are deep thinkers and love some alone time. A yoga retreat therefore stands as the perfect weekend staycation for this air sign, a time where they can connect with themselves and be ‘at one’. From the Watergate Bay Hotel in Cornwall to The Tree, North Yorkshire, the UK offers a variety of yoga retreats
Pisces is a water sign ruled by Neptune that reflects a constant division between fantasy and reality. To be frank, this sensational sign needs a decadent weekend by the sea. Think an Airbnb boat or coastal hotel views. Whatever the weather, whatever the time, this sign just needs sea air and some fish and chips.
With large scale events due to commence from the 31st of June, it is nearly festival season and time to make up for last summer! Aries are known to be wild, fun loving and the life of every party, which makes a weekend festival the perfect staycation idea for this fire sign. Fierce lovers of music and dancing, most Aries will be eagerly awaiting the return of Creamfields, the Isle of Wight Festival and Boomtown. However, Aries are well known for their quick bursts of energy and sharp burn outs – so don’t party too hard too fast!
