Vacation Guide for Cancer
Dear Cancer, you are a romantic water sign,
and you are usually happiest when you vacation near water.
A few ideal destinations for you in America might include
Cape Cod, Cape May, Lake Tahoe, Malibu Beach, Palm Beach,
Miami Beach, The Finger Lakes or Lake George.
Or, consider a vacation on the pretty island of St. John's,
or to countries such as Mexico, Amsterdam (with its charming
canals) or the beautiful Lake Como, Switzerland. For an even
more exotic adventure, think about going to a place like Tahiti
or Bali.
Your sign rules the study of ancestral roots, so you might
enjoy a visit to the country and city where your grandparents
were born and grew up. A visit New York City and its immigration
museum on Ellis Island would also be fascinating for you.
If you go, take a moment to see if there is a computer record
of your ancestors' names.
You are also a spiritual being, dear Cancer. Make your vacation
a pilgrimage all its own to a holy place, such Rome, Nazareth,
Tibet, Mecca, Jerusalem or Bethlehem. Alternatively, you might
enjoy a spiritual retreat at a monastery, cloister or ashram.
Cancers do cherish privacy. Big, commercial hotels aren't
your style. Book a stay at a small inn, bed and breakfast,
private cottage or bungalow. If you have a kitchen, buy local
vegetables and spices so that you can try your hand at regional
specialties‹Cancers often make great chefs. The more you feel
at home while you're away, the better. If you must travel
to a big hotel, bring accessories that make the room feel
more personal‹framed photos of the one you love, a fragrant
aroma-therapy candle or your favorite pillow.
Your sign rules the family, and you like to celebrate holidays
and events. Why not create a trip around a special family
occasion, such as a graduation, engagement or wedding? If
a long vacation makes you homesick, aim for shorter one and
go away more frequently. The moon rules your sign, so generally,
it is best to plan your departure around a new moon, symbolizing
a fresh start, and return near the full moon, representing
closure. This will keep you in better sync with your natural
inner rhythms and the universe.
As a frugal-minded Cancer, you don't like to have to pay a
penny more than necessary on vacation. You will always be
willing to do the research it takes to find great bargain
travel packages on airfare and lodging.
Oh, and don't forget to bring your camera. You are a sentimental
soul, dear Cancer. You love to look back with pictures of
your trip with fondness, even if it rained every day! When
you are on a vacation, you always put more emphasis on the
people you are with rather than the places you visit. You
can be happy anywhere. In that respect, dear Cancer, you could
teach us all a thing or two!
