If you feel like it’s near-impossible to keep your New Year’s resolutions, you’re not alone. Only about 10% of people tend to meet their goals by year-end, and you shouldn’t let that percentage reflect your travels for 2026. If you’re into a little woo-woo, your zodiac sign can shine a light on the habits that could be holding you back from getting what you want. Tarotoo’s team of psychics have revealed the best New Year’s resolution for each star sign, highlighting how astrology aligns with your plans for the year ahead. Here are the resolutions to consider to keep your 2026 travel plans smooth and celebratory.
Aries: Think Before You Leap
Aries are impulsive, which can often get them into trouble. They may find themselves making rash decisions on a whim or end up blurting out the wrong thing without fully thinking it through.
Before making spontaneous decisions based on discounts or what you’re seeing on your IG feed, take a few deep breaths and meditate on what exactly it is you’re looking for in a trip. After mulling it over, dream up a destination that can truly deliver. This can help you slow down, make smarter choices, reduce stress, and ultimately be more intentional with your travel in 2026.
Taurus: Open Up to New Ideas
Stubbornness can hinder a Taurus’s opportunity for growth in all areas, including relationships, careers, and even health. Being open to new travel ideas not only makes you more flexible and less stubborn, but can also address your self-reliant, “go it alone” attitude. Why not let someone else help you?
In 2026, try actively seeking someone else’s perspective—a travel planner, travel agent, or even a mystery trip through a service like Black Tomato or Pack Up + Go. Change up your routines, habits, and your idea of perfect and welcome back the hallmark of travel: spontaneity.

Gemini: Follow Through with Your Goals
Geminis love variation, and that can often cause them to lose focus on goals and flip-flop on everything from dreams to simple tasks. While mixing it up can be fun, it may leave them feeling like they can’t commit.
Choose one mini-trip or activity each month and make sure to complete it before moving on to a new adventure—even something small like a photo scavenger hunt or an architectural tour in your own city. Track your progress in a planner or journal, and for the sake of accountability, try telling your inner circle about your plans to make sure they don’t fall through.
Cancer: Take It Easy
Cancer’s emotional intensity is a great trait, but it can lead to them being obsessive over-planners. Enriching emotional awareness and learning to let go will help bring inner peace and give more meaning and flow to travel.
Think of places, trips, and spaces that allow for freedom, inner connectedness, and slowing down, like a peaceful snow retreat in Colorado or a book reading excursion in the Pacific Northwest.
Leo: Exercise Humility, Inside and Out
Leos love attention and admiration, but they can sometimes be perceived as arrogant or vain. If you find yourself constantly doing it for the ‘gram, now is the time to realign.
Once a day on your travels, try complimenting a stranger—and mean it. Make a point to actively listen and validate others’ experiences, feelings, and opinions. Keep this in mind while chatting with your travel buddy, a new friend, a local in the town you’re visiting, or even a hospitality worker. You’ll be surprised how this vulnerability can allow you to make unexpected connections.

Virgo: Practice More Self-Love
Virgos’ pursuit of perfection can cause them to be overcritical of themselves, their relationships, and sometimes, their travel experiences. Practicing positivity can help foster self-compassion, which will benefit all areas of your life.
Each day (while traveling or at home), recognize one positive trait you possess or something you’ve accomplished, and work on reframing any negative or critical thoughts as opportunities for growth.
Libra: Eliminate Indecisiveness
Libras love weighing their options and fear conflict, which can lead to indecisiveness and procrastination. Learning how to be decisive is the main goal, but starting with the small stuff will help create the right mindset for quicker decision-making in all sorts of situations.
When it comes to planning your travel itinerary, write down a daily outline for morning, mid-day, and night. Jot down dining reservations, potential wardrobe picks, and the activities you’re interested in, but make sure to leave room for some freedom and flexibility.
Scorpio: Lean Into Gratitude
Being one of the most passionate star signs, Scorpios can struggle with jealousy. Shifting focus to gratitude and using others’ adventures as a way for motivation—not competition or comparison—is paramount.
Keep a gratitude journal to note daily experiences, and continue this ritual when you’re traveling. This will promote staying present, while also combatting the comparison game.

Sagittarius: Mindfully Communicate
Sagittarius’s brutal honesty and blunt communication style can unintentionally hurt others, but practicing mindful communication will make trips go smoother.
Instead of an all-out fight with your friend or partner, which inevitably happens on long trips with bad cases of jet lag, take a deep breath and a walk before diving into resolutions. And, if you want to dig into practices prioritizing connection, consider a retreat with the Modern Elder Academy, which focuses on humanistic and holistic development at any stage of life.
Capricorn: Focus on Optimism
Capricorns have a tendency to feel pessimistic at times, either naturally or as a way to protect themselves from the worst. Embracing such negativity can make it a self-fulfilling prophecy, so being more optimistic can drastically alter your perception and the reality of the situation.
Think of booking a trip this year in one of the Blue Zones, where the living is good and everything is centered on community, wellness, and longevity rather than consumerism.
Aquarius: Find Emotional Connections
Aquarians can be withdrawn, valuing their independence. Making a conscious effort to nurture your relationships will reduce feelings of isolation and further strengthen your connections.
Instead of leaning into solo travel, book a group trip. Think a surf retreat with fellow water enthusiasts, a getaway with your book club, or perhaps a vacation with floral workshops on the itinerary.
Pisces: Face Your Fears Head-On
Pisces have a habit of avoiding reality, making them tremendous procrastinators. This trait may spiral into late payments, missed deadlines, messy homes, and avoiding uncomfortable conversations and tasks.
Identify one area of concern you’ve been avoiding that’s preventing you from investing in travel (anything from finances to career), and make a plan to overcome it.
