ARIES March 21 - April 19 SHOULD ONLY EXIST IN THE ZODIAC

BROUGHT TO YOU BY @WLOSANGELES + SUSAN MILLER OF @ASTROLOGYZONE

YOUR CURATED GUIDE TO LOS ANGELES chooses vacation destinations that offer new thrills, and often go for physical adventures that test your mettle. Your ruler, Mars, is the warrior planet, and has blessed you with a zesty love of experience. Bored easily, you constantly seek a bigger, better challenge. For you, dear Aries, R&R involves activities that are nothing like your everyday routine. That daring spirit and desire for perpetual accomplishment could lead an Aries straight into an exhilarating adventure at Universal Studios, where you’ll likely end up experiencing the height of LA film making in a single afternoon.

Aries love the freedom of being behind the wheel, so why not take off on a drive down the PCH? Stop by Bay Cities (infamous for The Godmother sandwich), a local favorite, for a delicious sandwich to-go and hop on the 10 West and don’t look back. Put the top down and soak in views of the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, test your physical limits at popular hiking Temescal Canyon then cool down after with a glass of rosé while listening to live music at Rosenthal Wine Bar. Not ready for the day to end? Head back east and take in a show under the stars at the Bowl or rub shoulders with some real stars along the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Just try not to have to be anywhere at any given time—just breathe the fresh air, kick back and let the road take you away! The Aries Guide to LA:

A loves luxury and beauty, so roughing it on vacation just isn’t your thing. Instead of sleeping bags you want superb accommodations and plush offerings, so let us take the reins and lull you into a peaceful sleep.

For the Taurus who adores a quick (or not-so-quick) massage, stop by The NOW Massage to experience anything from a traditional full body Swedish massage, herbal heat therapy and healing (does it get any more “LA” than this?). Need more R&R? Opt for a mani / pedi at the aesthetically pleasing Olive & June nail salon—either would be perfect for a Taurus.

After a day of pampering and relaxing, switch gears and locations to Taurus’ other passion will be key: food. As the “foodie” of all the Zodiacs, you won’t have trouble finding solace at any of LA’s legendary restaurants but look no further than STK Los Angeles. As a comfort-loving bull, you’ll appreciate you won’t have to travel farther than our lobby. Treat yourself like the king or queen you are and indulge in creative cocktails alongside A5 Japanese Wagyu or 10 . Filet with all the toppings (truffle butter anyone?) and sauces to complement. You deserve this.

YOUR CURATED GUIDE TO LOS ANGELES

For you, dear , a vacation is an opportunity to learn new skills, have exciting new experiences, and gain a new perspective on life. Generally, you want stimulation, not rest, and have energy to burn. You cram as much as you can into your itinerary and know no bounds. Your ruling planet, Mercury, was the mythological messenger of the gods and was the only deity on Mt. Olympus who could roam freely. Like your ruler, you don’t like restrictions!

You want a full itinerary with plenty of action: beaches (hello Santa Monica Pier), museums (insert The Broad and get that Infinity Mirror shot for the ‘gram or the world famous Getty Museum), interesting landmarks and historic sites, and a number of side trips to neighboring hoods (trendy hotspots like Abbot Kinney, Silverlake and Melrose Ave. are perfect for the trendy Gemini). As a Zodiac on-the-go, these dual personalities can grab a quick bite in between all the action at native-turned-food truck restaurateur Roy Choi’s Kogi BBQ Truck.

Gemini, a “double-bodied sign” (like and ), also represent a very playful and social nature. Grab a friend (with a membership) and head to SoHo House – the perfect place to rub shoulders with Hollywood elite and an ideal place for Gemini’s social butterfly tendencies.

Social , you usually prefer to go to a big city with plenty of hip restaurants, cafés and clubs, and chic boutiques like Fred Segal or Decades, LA’s iconic destination for vintage accessories. Your know of “what’s hot and what’s not” for Libra is the arbiter of taste.

You like to see and be seen, so places for Libra to consider include the lush rooftop at E.P. & L.P., the 1920’s-vibe lounge of Delilah, or The Nice Guy (if you’re lucky enough to get in.) You like to go where the nightlife is hopping, where the people are beautiful, the scenery is gorgeous, the shopping lively and the city is culturally sophisticated. Afterall, luxury-loving Venus is your ruler.

As much as you love to see lots of new and interesting places, you won’t spend all your time sightseeing. Instead, you’ll spend long nights getting caught up with a friend at a sidewalk restaurant or café like Alfred Coffee, as most Libras cannot imagine being alone when traveling.

Your idea of a perfect vacation is one that gives you ultimate privacy in a beautiful, soothing setting. Pluto, your ruler, gives you a strong penchant for seclusion, and ideal places might include Carbon Beach, The Getty Villa or Lake Shrine—all places to read, kick back and work hard on not working at all.

Your ruler, Pluto, gives you considerable energy that you direct inward, making you competitive, intense, passionate and private. Room service from The Hideout by STK, a well-stocked fridge with champagne, and your smartphone for music is all you’ll need. To you, a vacation is an opportunity to drop out for a little while.

Los Angeles is the perfect place for you with its sexy nighttime music and interesting sites. Catch the large and famous Hollywood Forever Cemetery for a late-night flick followed by a DJ set. Take a tour of the Hollyhock House—on Friday nights you can pack a picnic or participate in a wine tasting as you watch the sunset over the city.

YOUR CURATED GUIDE TO LOS ANGELES Nothing gets your pulse racing faster than the prospect of taking a trip to a city you’ve never seen. You long for exotic adventures, so skip the touristy activities and go roller skating at World on Wheels or try out one of the 60Out Escape Rooms.

Because you tend to be athletic, you favor vacations that offer big sky and wide-open places; being a fire sign, you like warm settings. Many Sagittarians enjoy equestrian sports, so a trip to the Sunset Ranch in Hollywood would also be ideal—better yet, go on a lavish walk or take a breezy bike ride to the Santa Monica beaches for some ocean swimming or a quick workout.

You might also enjoy a visit to one of the city’s iconic parks, like , Will Rogers Memorial Park or Holmby Park. You are not likely to want to spend a large amount of money—your sign is often quite financially savvy.

You are an earth sign, symbolized by the Goat, so exploring Runyon Canyon and perching where you can take in the breathtaking views from the Pacific Ocean to the Hollywood sign might just be the perfect vacation for you, Capricorn.

Saturn, your ruling planet, teaches you to have an appreciation for the historic sights so plan a trip to The Getty Villa, J. Paul Getty’s former private gallery, to enjoy Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities within Roman-inspired architecture and Roman-style gardens. Not to mention, there are plenty of Instagrammable moments too.

Your sign also enjoys browsing for antiques, so consider a day trip to the iconic Rose Bowl Flea Market or trendy Melrose Trading Post to check out the vast array of antiques and collectables. Capricorn rules bones and artifacts from the past, so taking a trip to one of LA’s many museums could be an once- in-a-lifetime experience. Our top picks?

As an , going anywhere too ordinary or touristy will bore you, so make sure your next vacation is an adventure. An excursion to the great outdoors would be a great choice with a trip to one of LA’s hiking trails like Temescal Canyon or Los Leones Canyon.

Aquarians are also quite gregarious, so while you love the wild, you like civilization too—find a good balance. Make a reservation at Vespertine, a restaurant run by architects and artists alike, with cuisines that are sure to spark conversation for a visionary like yourself. Check out the PLATFORM beforehand for a shopping spree at some of LA’s trendiest stores.

Politically aware on a global level, your strong intellectual curiosity and humanitarian instincts might be sated by visiting a must-see museum like LACMA.

For you, too much togetherness with any partner can make you feel claustrophobic, so if you travel in twos, you should plan a little time alone, perhaps to shop, take a walk or have a cup of coffee along Melrose Street and be sure to make a stop at Carrera Cafe for their famous screen print lattes.

Rich in imagination, Pisces love destinations with a touch of fairy-tale magic. Anything that offers too much of real life will dampen your spirit so head to the Virginia Robinson Gardens to take in the historic mansion surrounded by breathtaking florals.

Pisceans enjoy a more sensual setting, so take a drive along the coast at sunset after experiencing some pampering at the Raya Spa.

Since Pisces is a water sign, you would likely favor taking a dip in the ocean or long walks along the beach in peaceful Malibu, allowing you to avoid loud or boisterous settings. While you’re there, grab some food that makes you feel good at Malibu Farms Pier Cafe to feed your emotionally charged spirit.

As the most spiritual sign, you would love visiting Unplug Meditation where you can tune out the noise and focus on the present.

Lastly, with your imaginative ways, pay a visit to Hollywood and take a tour of the film sets or stop by Universal Studio for the special effects tour. Learning how Hollywood professionals spin illusions in the movies could prove fascinating to such a creative sign. The Pisces Guide to LA:
