January isn’t just the start of a new year—it’s peak holiday-booking season. But before you book that trip to Europe or Bali, it’s worth taking a closer look at who you’re travelling with.

New research commissioned by Psychic World and astrologer Inbaal Honigman confirms what many of us have suspected: travel can put relationships to the test. From friend trips to romantic getaways, spending time in close quarters can make—or break—connections. And according to the stars, your zodiac sign might just predict how your partnership will fare.

Below, the star signs that should (and shouldn't) travel together.

The star signs that should avoid travelling together

Leo and Scorpio

While this pairing can be magnetic in everyday life, travel amplifies their differences. As Honigman puts it: “Leos are early to bed and early to rise, whereas Scorpios are night owls. Leos also love to tick off the big tourist spots, and Scorpio prefers to look for unknown, mysterious corners.” On a shared itinerary, those opposing rhythms can quickly become frustrating rather than exciting.

Capricorn and Aquarius

This duo may struggle before the trip even begins. Honigman says: “Even booking a trip won’t be easy, with Capricorn asking to go to the hippest, most ‘happening’ destination, and Aquarius will be searching for more low-key, less visited locations. Capricorn would love to spot some celebrities, and Aquarius is interested in conversations with the regulars at the local independent shops”

The worst signs to travel with

Aries

Bold, energetic and fiercely independent, Aries is always chasing the next thrill. That momentum can be exhilarating—or exhausting. Honigman notes, "Aries are always awake, and always bored. They’re keen to look for the next activity, before you even finish the current activity. They are also quite independent, so when they are ready to leave, even if you’re not, they’ll just go!”

Capricorn

While reliable and organised, Capricorn’s love of refinement can make them a demanding travel companion. “Capricorns love to go on a trip, but only if it’s four stars and above. They won’t let you just duck into a burger joint or a dive bar, they want to find the most exclusive location in the area, with a waiting list of six months," Honigman explains.

The best star signs to travel with

Virgo

If you like a trip that runs smoothly, Virgo is your ideal companion. Honigman says, “Virgos are organised, meticulous in their planning and won’t forget or lose a single item. Print-out maps of the area? Check! Lists of all local restaurants, broken down by cuisine, budget and veggie options? Check! Mosquito repellent? They’ve got it.”

Gemini

For a more fluid and social travel experience, Gemini is hard to beat. Curious and adaptable, they thrive on variety and connection, often opening doors through sheer charm. Whether it’s securing a last-minute table or changing plans on a whim, Gemini keeps things light, flexible and fun.

The zodiac duos that travel best together

Sagittarius and Gemini

This is the ultimate free-spirited pairing. Why? According to Honigman, it's because they're happy to go with the flow. "They’ll make friends with everyone they meet and will find their way into the most exclusive of events. Sure, they may both lose their passports or miss their ferries, but they won’t be annoyed with each other about it.

Honigman adds, “Both Sagittarius and Gemini are happy without a set plan or a routine, and will enjoy any random adventure together, with lots of laughs and a few bruises along the way.”

Taurus and Libra

Both signs appreciate beauty, comfort and calm, making them a natural match on a trip. Rather than chasing adrenaline, Taurus and Libra bond over elegant city walks, cultural landmarks and thoughtfully chosen cafés. Honigman explains, “They’re not into adventure trips, so they will appreciate only the most convenient of locations and the most attentive of service, and they’ll see eye to eye about this.”

Pisces and Cancer

For couples or close friends seeking a softer escape, Pisces and Cancer make an ideal pair. What kind of triop should they book? According to Honigman, “They’re both happy with a long, lazy morning, then a leisurely stroll and a search for hidden gems off the beaten track. They could be going anywhere, and as long as they’re hand in hand, they’ll love it; they can spend hours just staring at the twinkling lights whilst sipping mulled wine. Pisces and Cancer love to please, so each will try to fit around the other as much as possible.”
