The year has just begun, but the paths of this new stage are already outlined. Where? In the stars, of course! To reveal each sign’s tendencies for 2019, Brazilian astrologist Julio Grobel studied the cosmic map, proposing new destinations. Planetary regencies, stellar alignments… all it takes is to believe a little (or make an excuse) to plan your upcoming vacations.
Aries (21/3 a 19/4)
Get your passport! Now is the time to make international travels. Grobel’s prediction says, “Jupiter in Sagittarius brings the desire to dare and explore distant places.” Start planning long backpacking trips, hikes, and adventurous outings.
Without a doubt, this moon-like landscape will quench your explorer’s thirst. Don’t forget to admire the starry skies.
Taurus (20/4 a 20/5)
Uranus brings winds of change and movement. That’s why you must think outside your comfort zone, widen your worldview, and focus on your career. “Keep big cities in mind and even imagine yourself living there” is Grobel’s suggestion.
An immersion in the city’s history or a pint of local beer are enough to win over tourists.
Gemini (21/5 a 20/6)
Gemini natives, prepare yourselves for new love possibilities. Couples must choose romantic destinations; single people must share this moment with friends or, according to Julio Grobel, “they must explore faraway places or undertake new projects.”
Just imagine finding love in Rome. Making a wish at the Fontana di Trevi, where Cupid could pierce your heart forever.
Cancer (21/6 a 22/7)
The sea will be good to you. Just like the crustacean representing your sign, “you must dream and plan your international travels right,” says our guru.
It’s always summer in Florida. Look for excitement on the sandy strip of Lummus Park and peace on Surfside Beach, to find the perfect balance.
Leo (23/7 a 22/8)
Entertainment tends to attract natives of this sign, but this characteristic will be heightened even more in them. “Invest in visiting places that will offer plenty of activities, be they cultural or mere fun,” Grobel suggests. “A destination to awaken your inner child, for example.”

Las Vegas, United States
Spending all night in a casino, watching fantastic shows. Anything is possible in the city with no limits.
Virgo (23/8 a 22/9)
“There’s a need to explore what’s different, but it will be more beneficial if you search for your origins,” said the stars while being interpreted by Grobel. Invest in historic destinations, with the purpose of truly getting to know yourself.
The Inca Trail connects Cusco to Machu Picchu, passing through mystical and enchanting towns like Ollantaytambo.
Tulum, Mexico
It’s the cradle of the Maya civilization, with ruins of ancient temples in front of a turquoise sea. Do you need anything else?
Libra (23/9 a 22/10)
Museums, exhibitions, and events promoting arts and knowledge. “Places with strong cultural elements will be a great stimulus,” Grobel guarantees. It couldn’t be any other way, because you’re a child of the air and you value intellect.
Culture is everywhere on the streets thanks to the graffiti art covering the walls of buildings, like those along the Elevado João Goulart and in many other places.
Scorpio (23/10 a 21/11)
Your finances promise a big leap this year, a perfect scenario for indulging in luxury without feeling guilty. Embark on travels that will allow you to really rest and be completely free from all worries.

Sagittarius (22/11 a 21/12)
The New Year comes with good and bad news. “Jupiter represents the desire to explore the world,” says the astrologist. “It’s necessary to pay attention to your finances, though.” But that’s not a reason to stay home: your versatility will help you find the most convenient and wonderful destinations.
A cheap destination, where the waterfalls’ massive volume of water creates wonderful sights and provides unforgettable pictures.
Capricorn (22/12 a 19/1)
Don’t try so hard, little goat! Vacations are necessary at some point. Focus on finding peace and getting away from the day-to-day madness. Grobel suggests “high mountainous places that allow spiritual connection.”

From the Palermo woods in the morning to the festive spirit of Puerto Madero by night, the last tango is far from over.
Pisces (19/2 a 20/3)
Keep on swimming and be ambitious, the sea is the place for Pisces natives. The heavens made this the ideal year for the trip of your dreams. Business trips can also be more frequent, especially to big cities.
It may be for the famous brands in the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery, the opulence of the cathedral (the Duomo), or works of art like The Last Supper: Milan has the power that the Piscean needs.
