November 29, 2025 | Philip Young, PhD
Traveling during your Sun sign season can align you with opportunities for soul-nourishing experiences. Each zodiac sign carries a unique rhythm and desire when it comes to movement, rest, and adventure. And there happen to be ideal regions on Earth that mirror your sign’s energetic blueprint. In this travel horoscope, we explore the best times of year for each sign to travel in 2026. Plus, we will look at the dream destinations around the globe that resonate with your astrological frequency. Whether you’re planning a retreat, vacation, or soul-searching journey, discover where and when your cosmic compass points you next.
Astrological Location – Geodetic Astrology
Geodetic astrology divides the world into 12 regions, each ruled by an astrological sign. Starting at 0° East, Aries governs from 0° to 30° East longitude. Then, each 30-degree segment continues in zodiac order around the globe. Next comes Taurus, then Gemini, and so on through Pisces. This system aligns locations with signs. Therefore, geodetic astrology helps astrologers link geographic regions to energetic influences. It uses fixed longitude divisions rather than shifting with time. As a result, each sign consistently rules its 30-degree zone, offering unique traits to each region.
The best times to travel include when the Sun and Mercury are in your Zodiac sign. The Sun enters your sign the same month each year, making it a reliable period for travel. This time boosts confidence, vitality, and personal clarity. Next, check when Mercury enters your sign. This transit changes every three weeks and enhances communication, planning, and adaptability. Usually, the Sun and Mercury align in your sign for some period of time (less than a week to the full Sun sign period). When they do, it’s a golden opportunity to travel. You’ll feel energized, focused, and ready for meaningful exploration.
