For a long time, I thought horoscopes were kind of bullsh*t. As a twin I can tell you that just because two people are born on the same day does not mean that they act anything alike. However, as I grew older, I realized our desire to be unique and different from each other exactly embodied our zodiac sign of Aquarius.
Weirdly enough, I find that people really do travel according to their sign. My mother is a Taurus and must have planned tours wherever we go (some lasting over 3 hours) just so she can be familiar with the city. She likes a plan. One of my favorite travel buddies is a Capricorn, and her water sign “go-with-the-flow” attitude leads her to plan almost nothing except the flight there.

So if the zodiac can predict types of travelers… why not what they carry?
Aries: March 21- April 20- You’re a bit of a scatter brained daredevil aren’t you? Aries are super up for anything, as long as it’s off the beaten path. You make for wonderful hikers and campers, because you can usually find your way out of a jam. However, your pension for moving on to the next thing may make you forgot that you need to take care of yourself! This natural vegan skin balm will help heal all of those cuts and scrapes you acquire while trekking across the grand wilderness. Get some HERE.
Taurus: April 21- May 21- You’re headstrong and stubborn for sure, but you also make for an amazing tour planner. Having every day mapped out is something you pride yourself in, and also something your fellow travelers should adore. To really up your planning game, grab a Moleskin City Notebook. These notebooks have empty pages to put your immaculate itinerary, as well as city maps if you want to go technology free for a bit! Get it HERE.
Gemini: May 22- June 21- Gemini’s are known for being ‘on the fence’ about most issues. So if you’re one of those lovely Gemini’s who can’t make up their mind, packing can be a conundrum in itself! Lucky for you, the Baubax Travel Jacket exists.

Cancer: June 22- July 22- Once a cancer commits, the commit HARD. Similarly, if you’re a crab, you could come off a bit clingy. So instead of being attached to your significant others’ hip, grab the goTenna. The goTenna system lets you text with others who have a goTenna installed and are within a few miles. It’s a clever solution for hiking or sailing parties outside of cell phone range, as well as international travelers.

Leo: July23- August 22- Leo’s LOVE to be the center of attention. You’re fiery, you’re bold, and you’re kind of wondering why no casting director has approached you to have your own reality show yet. Move that dream along by broadcasting your trip through some Spectacles by Snap. These glasses are the ultimate Insta-famous accessory, so you might be getting your own #KUWTK quicker than you think.

Virgo: August 23- September 21- Most Virgo’s are adorably shy, and great listeners. Instead of being in front of the camera, you sweet Virgos seem to love to analyze your surroundings, and more importantly, document them! The perfect companion would definitely be the Ollo Clip 4-in-1 lens, which turns your iPhone’s built-in-camera into a Fisheye, Wide-Angle, or Macro lens (10x and 15x). This will up your picture game from soccer-mom to gallery-known in seconds. Get it HERE.
Libra: September 22- October 22- Libra’s are the laid-back lovers. They’re great at being the diplomat of the group, solving the fights of your travel group like an absolute pro. But you divine Libra’s are also a bit self-indulgent, so spending money on something seemingly unnecessary is not uncommon for you guys. That being said, you should still treat yourself on vacation! Start your day off right with a dust from Moon Juice. Maybe some spirit dust to keep your grounded, or beauty dust to look your best on the beach! Get it HERE.
Scorpio: October 23- November 21- You Scorpios are are unbeatable when you put your mind to something! You’re tough, and once you set your mind on something, you’re darn near obsessive in achieving it. So if you’re going to travel all over the world, taking cities, taking names, you’re going to need a great pair of shoes. All Birds definitely take the cake for being the most comfortable and versatile shoes around. Take it from someone who knows… these are basically slippers with rubber on the bottom. Walk on Scorpios, walk on. Get them HERE.
Sagittarius: November 22- December 21- You Sag’s love travel… but only under your terms. Your sense of restlessness means you have to wander, and wander NOW. That blindness to detail means you could definitely forget a few things. So instead of something to pack, you guys need a suitcase that covers all the bases so you can just be your free self. The Bluesmart suitcase not only charges your devices, but it can also weigh itself and has a tracker, so if you leave your luggage in the bathroom of your Punta Cana villa, and remember only after your plane has taken off, then this carry-on has you covered. Get it HERE.
Capricorn: December 22- January 20- You Capricorns are a bit of an enigma… you’re rigid in your ways, but also like flowing around like the water sign you are. So for the water sign, I give you- water! The H2Opal is the perfect mix of flow and rigid. This water bottle tracks your intake to make sure your hike stays completely hydrated. Get it HERE.
Aquarius: January 21- February 19- Aquarians are f**cking weird. I can say this as I am one. We appreciate being super unique, but also need constant validation of how awesome we are. I’m sure that’s exhausting! But for my fellow weirdo’s, I can say from experience that this weird tool is necessary for us. We always like to be the one to step up and save the day, so what better way to be prepared than with the Rose Kuli 7" Portable Multipurpose MultiTool. This is definitely your one stop shop when it comes to a rare item that will absolutely come in handy. Get it HERE.
Pisces: February 20- March 20- Pisces, you are some sensitive buggers. You take things personally, but on the flip-side of that, you can also be super compassionate. You like your luxury, so instead of a charging backpack, you’d definitely go for the Kate Spade Everpurse. This purse is stylish, while also housing charging ports, so you can always have your phone full juice for talking to the ones you love! Get it HERE.
