Once people navigated by the positions of the stars. Today, astrology can still help you navigate, serving as a kind of spiritual travel agent - clueing you in, for example, about destinations likely to be good and less good matches for your temperament and personality. Give it a try, wish upon a star or two!
Where to Travel According to Your Chinese Zodiac Sign
RootOfAllLight Lunar New Year 2024 has just ended, landing us in the year of the Dragon, and it got me to thinking: there´s quite a bit out there on where/how to travel according to Western star signs, aligning destinations with your astrological characteristics, but you don´t hear much of anything on the subject when it comes to Chinese astrology. As someone who´s studied Chinese and Sinic culture, I looked into it a bit, and here´s what I came up with, with a couple of destination…

Astrocartography is quite useful in terms of overarching trends (the famous example, if I recall correctly, is JFK's Pluto midpoint went right through Dallas). My concept for astrotravel involves doing charts for destinations (they have personalities, too!), thencomparing to your own... And yes, 3/9 houses are excellent indicators. Traditionally the 3rd house rules short trips, 9th (which broadly is foreign affairs, as well as higher education, philooshy, etc) longer trips...
Jill, it IS problematic. Since most people are skeptics I suppose you could ask a prospective employee jokingly (then construct a chart or the sly). I don't think it's actionable.............
The biggest problem with using astrology to 'profile' people at work, is getting the place of birth, and, more specifically, the exact time. This is not on your average application form - and can/should an employer ask for it? Don't get me wrong - I'm an astrology nut, but I can see this as a problem...
Not exactly. I use this great site: http://www.astro.com/cgi/aclch.cgi?btyp=acm&
When you register you enter your personal data, and then you can use this section (travel) to look at the distribution of your planetary lines on the astrocartography map. Then you can ponder things like current aspects to a particular planet and how that might manifest when you are actually spending time anywhere along the planet's line that is receiving the transitory aspect.
I see, so you'd plug in the geographical location of your prospective destination at the prospective time of travel and compare it to the time and location of your own birth?
I think house placement as well as signs play an important role - though as Jordan says, it is best to look at the whole chart. For travel, the 3rd and 9th houses are particularly relevant - 3rd house for short trips or business trips, 9th house for long distance trips. The planetary rulers of these houses and their aspects and positions would shed some light on your travel preferences and what kind of places may suit you. astrocartography may be of interest, though I can't say I have a lot of experience with it. I just like looking at where the planetary lines run through and how I have experienced those places.
Hey Cass. Absolutely, astrology relates to every aspect of life. Relationships, finances, travel. It's best to have your entire chart analyzed (the sun sign is just your basic personality blueprint, a skeletal schematic; for example your moon rules your emotional life, and that can explain why you're drawn to certain places). But even the sun sign can suggest destinations that will complement your life and lifestyle. You can even break it down according to the kind of travel: business, romantic, family, etc. Ideally, you do a chart for the destination, then compare it to yours. I'd been doing a travel horoscope for Tripatini, but got swept up in other work the past year. I'll probably revive it soon.
I am beginning to be very interested in astrology, especially after the company I work for hired an astrologer as part of our new business management consulting at the start of 2012... he knew things about the dynamic between the employees that I don't think we even knew ourselves. Anyway, it was so accurate that it's aroused my curiosity to learn more about astrology... How does travel astrology work? For example I am a Scorpio... are there certain geographical locations that compliment or clash with my sign?
Kat, very valid observations. But we can't simply look at a specific transit in a vacuum. Jupiter is in Aries---ruled by Mars. So yes, happy-go-lucky (a term I often use for Jupiter as it also brings both happiness and luck---when you don't overdo it) and adventure. Also rash, headstrong, impulsive. And it's in nasty aspect to Pluto in Saturn-ruled Capricorn. Jupe, governed by Sagittarius, also suggests travel, as well as higher education, philosophy, religion.... Looking at it in context, the possibility of religious conflict is increased. It's the hard aspects that concern me. And I'm not even getting into the other planets messing around in there...
As for Aquarius and gadgetry, absolutely. We've been seeing a natural progression since Uranus entered its own sign, the Water-Bearer, in 1995. That dovetails nicely with the first exponential usage of the Internet and cell phones. Neptune's 1998 entrance into Aquarius highlighted imagination in technology.
Second half the year should turn to more "Rabbit-y" affairs like food, culture, entertaining, travel when viewed in conjunction with Western influences.
