WELCOME TO W LOS ANGELES ZODIAC GUIDE TO LA BROUGHT TO YOU BY @WLOSANGELES + @ASTROLOGYZONE WELCOME TO W LOS ANGELES 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 Aries 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 spot 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 Hollywood 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!

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 crystal 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 oz. Filet with all the toppings (truffle butter anyone?) and sauces to complement. You deserve this.

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 California native-turned-food truck restaurateur Roy Choi’s Kogi BBQ Truck. Gemini, a “double-bodied sign” (like Pisces and Sagittarius), 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.

Schedule a day in Venice and grab breakfast at the Butcher’s Daughter (fully embrace that LA plant-based life) before you shop along the many boutiques and shops found on Abbot Kinney Blvd. Rent a beach cruiser and ride along the boardwalk before grabbing a glass of wine at Waterfront while you overlook the ocean at sunset. You are also a spiritual being, Cancer. Make sure you use your vacation as a time to reflect and relax. Book a guide meditation class at Unplugged or a facial at Heyday, before heading back to W Los Angeles to soak up the sun at the property’s WET deck.

Leo is a gregarious sign, so an isolated locale really isn't for you. LA is perfect for a Leo as it offers plenty to do, including museums, shops, first class dining and entertainment. Head to Griffith Observatory or Runyon Canyon for the perfect Instagram. Afterwards, stop into a hip bar like Employees Only or a quaint café (See: Urth Caffe) for a nightcap. Sit outside and watch the world go by, dear Leo—that’s one of your favorite pastimes! You are attracted to places populated by the so-called beautiful people or celebrities—so add a shopping spree on Rodeo Drive, dinner at the celeb-favorite Thai spot Night + Market and a show at the Hollywood Improv to your agenda. All of these destinations have plenty of opportunities to see and be seen. Be sure to pack cocktail wear, just in case you get to go to ala-de-da event. The Leo's Guide to LA: Griffith Observatory (2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027) Runyon Canyon (2000 N Fuller Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046) Employees Only (7953 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90046) Urth Caffe (8565 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90069) Night + Market (9043 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069) Rodeo Drive (Beverly Hills) Hollywood Improv (8162 Melrose Ave, Hollywood, CA 90046) WELCOME TO W LOS ANGELES VIRGO er 22 August 23 - Septemb SHOULD ONLY EXIST IN THE ZODIAC BROUGHT TO YOU BY @WLOSANGELES + @ASTROLOGYZONE YOUR CURATED GUIDE TO LOS ANGELES As the zodiac’s hardest worker, you have a strong need to feel productive, even on vacation. Lying on a beach probably won’t interest you. In fact, that would be the LAST thing you would want. You hunger for action and intellectual stimulation, so plan a trip with plenty to do and see. You even like vacations that require new mastery of language, as well as etiquette, navigation or history. Consider a journey to one of LA’s several museums, including nearby Hammer Museum and The Getty or, catch a show at Geffen Playhouse, followed by dinner in Westwood Village — the more different the experience is from your native locale and the more there is to tackle, the better! Such destinations allow you to immerse yourself in an unfamiliar environment and test your ability to adapt. Ruled by Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, you relish travel, but are practical, discriminating and goal-oriented. For example, it might be your goal to add to your collection of silver antiques by visiting local flea markets like Melrose Trading Post or Rose Bowl Flea Market.
