Water signs -

As a general rule, the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are the most empathetic. They have a tendency to get a little bogged down, so a travel partner that lifts them out of themselves is great.

Of all the star signs, Cancer is the biggest home bird. Cancers often tend towards slower travel destinations with friendly locals who welcome them and make them feel at home.

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

Cancer makes a great travel mate for Taurus. Neither will need much convincing to take a day off from sightseeing and kick back poolside.

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

While it can be difficult to convince Virgos to take a vacation in the first place, they can often be persuaded if there is a humanitarian cause involved.

Virgos love to help others live their best lives, and a great partner in doing so is Gemini. Both signs thrive on connection and will serve each other well as travel companions.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

Just like Virgos, Caps tend to struggle with taking time off. The most ambitious of the star signs, they sometimes need to be reminded that it's okay to relax.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

For that exact reason, Taurus is a great match for Capricorn when it comes to travel. They will have no qualms about balancing out a strident Capricorn and forcing them to relax.
