A holiday is meant to be fun. Restorative. Romantic, even.

And yet, for some reason, travelling with another person — whether it be a partner or a bestie — can turn you into the most unrecognisable version of yourself. The kind of person who cries in an airport bathroom because someone, "didn't think we needed to pre-book transfers". Or the kind of person who starts a fight over Google Maps with the seriousness of a courtroom trial.

It's also… weirdly common.

According to Expedia, a third of people have broken up with a partner while on vacation. Friendship breakups are often sparked by travelling too, because nothing highlights compatibility issues faster than the winning combo of sleep deprivation, hunger and the emotional trauma of being trapped together in a tiny hotel room with one bathroom and zero ventilation.

Which is why astrologers (yes, really) are warning that your 2026 could be make-or-break, depending on who you go with.

Astrologers at Psychic World have revealed the star signs that should avoid travelling together at all costs, plus the zodiac pairings built for a holiday romance or perfectly-chaotic bestie adventure.

If you're planning a trip this year, consider this your spiritually-guided reminder to choose your travel partner wisely.

The star signs that should NOT travel together in 2026.

Leo and Scorpio.

Traditionally, this pairing has chemistry. Spark. Drama. The kind of connection that feels like it was created purely for a holiday Instagram carousel.

But, Leos and Scorpios are a rough match once you actually have to share a schedule.

"Leos are early to bed and early to rise, whereas Scorpios are night owls," Psychic and Astrologer Inbaal Honigman explained.

And that, if we're being honest, is enough to ruin a trip on its own.

Because if a Leo is up at 6am, fresh-faced, ready to, "make the most of the day", and a Scorpio is still processing the fact they were awake at 3am… someone is going to get snapped at. Quickly.

There's also a major difference in how the two travel.

"Leos also love to tick off the big tourist spots, and Scorpio prefers to look for unknown, mysterious corners," Honigman said.

With Leo dragging you to the Main Attraction and Scorpio wandering into a candle-lit alleyway shop run by a man named Lucius who, "only takes cash", and gives off strong cursed energy… the vibe is bound to become tense.

Capricorn and Aquarius.

This duo might honestly not even make it out of the group chat, because these two signs want completely different things from their travels.

Capricorn is after the best destination — the most exciting, the most glamorous, the one with a bit of buzz.

Aquarius, on the other hand? They're choosing somewhere low-key and underrated, because they'd rather be discovering hidden gems than lining up for the "must-do" experiences.

Their travel personalities are basically the opposite genres, too, with Capricorns more luxury babes and Aquarius girls happy to embrace public transport realness.

So, you will end up fighting about money, plans, or whether it's acceptable to walk for 38 minutes, "because it's only a straight line". And nobody wins.

The worst star signs to travel with (said with love).

Aries

Want a holiday that feels like an extreme sport? Book one with an Aries in tow.

They're independent, bold and high-energy. They also live for spontaneity and hate feeling slowed down — which may sound fun in theory but is pretty exhausting in practice.

"Aries are always awake and always bored," said Honigman. "They're also quite independent, so when they are ready to leave, even if you're not, they'll just go!"

Cut to them planning the next activity before you've finished the current one and repeatedly losing them in public spaces. Fun.

Capricorn.

Yes, Capricorn is on the list again (sorry).

Not because they are bad people, but because they can be very… specific.

While practical and patient, their love of luxury can make them feel high-maintenance in a travel context, especially if you're more the type who is happy to wing it.

"Capricorns love to go on a trip, but only if it's four stars and above," Honigman explained.

In other words? They're not here for the, "let's just grab something quick", energy.

"They want to find the most exclusive location in the area, with a waiting list of six months."

So if your ideal trip involves a spontaneous street snack and a slightly unhinged dive bar crawl…. Capricorn is going to make you feel like you're doing travel wrong.

The star signs that make the best travel buddies.

Virgo

Virgo is the friend you want beside you in an airport (and, as a Virgo and a self-confessed 'airport navigation expert', I agree).

If anything goes wrong, Virgo will handle it calmly. They are organised, practical and prepared — exactly the type of energy you want when you're in a foreign country trying to figure out a train system that feels like it was created purely as a social experiment.

And honestly? A Virgo's packing energy is unmatched.

"Print-out maps of the area? Check. Lists of all local restaurants, broken down by cuisine, budget and veggie options? Check. Mosquito repellent? They've got it," Honigman shared.

Travelling with a Virgo is like travelling with a personal assistant, a therapist, and a mum who knows where everything is at all times.

Gemini

If Virgo is your structure, Gemini is your storyline.

Geminis are social, flexible and energetic — basically, the kind of travel companion who makes everything feel easier because they're up for anything (and also somehow able to charm their way into everything).

They're also great if you're a little emotionally delicate on holidays, (hi, it's me), because they don't take it personally when you need some downtime.

Which is honestly rare. And also deeply appreciated.

So which star signs SHOULD travel together in 2026?

Sagittarius and Gemini.

This is the pairing for people who travel for vibes, stories and the thrill of accidentally ending up somewhere iconic.

"Adventurous Sagittarius and party-animal Gemini are the best of travel buddies," according to Honigman.

They'll make friends everywhere, go out every night and end up at the most exclusive events without even trying. And while they might both lose a passport or miss a ferry, "they won't be annoyed with each other about it".

Taurus and Libra.

If your dream holiday is elegant and soothing, Taureans and Librans are your people.

"Peaceful Taurus and graceful Libra both love quiet, organised spaces," said Honigman.

They'll enjoy the same types of activities — think city tours, beautiful cafés, old buildings — and they'll be aligned on the important stuff: comfort, convenience and aesthetics.

Pisces and Cancer.

Romantic Pisces with sensitive Cancer is the ultimate cosy, intimate travel pairing.

Think long mornings, leisurely strolls, warm drinks at night and falling in love with the same tiny streets.

According to Honigman, "they're both happy with a long, lazy morning, then a leisurely stroll and a search for hidden gems off the beaten track".

And wherever they go, they'll make it feel romantic.

"They could be going anywhere, and as long as they're hand in hand, they'll love it."
