Some people love it and eagerly read their horoscope in the newspaper every day. Others hate it and roll their eyes whenever the topic is broached. But no one can deny astrology’s deep historical roots and impact in some parts of today’s world.
It dates back to the third millennium BC and has travelled around the globe, impacting the formation and development of hundreds of cultures and societies throughout history. But how does astrology influence how we travel as individuals today? Journalism for the curious Australian across politics, business, culture and opinion. Megan French and Penny Thomas explored the celestial topic on this week’s episode of The Pod Well Travelled with Stefanie Schroeder, Astrofusion Astrology business owner and president of the Federation of Australian Astrologers in Western Australia.
“The signs give certain characteristics of a person or the imprint of their (astrological) chart. Aries for instance, the fire sign, they need to express themselves so they would like an adventurous holiday (with) excitement. They might go for a bungee jump, or spice things up,” Schroeder reveals.
“Aries are independent and may be more inclined to solo travel compared to a Taurus who is more focused on having a ‘nice’ experience. We discover similarities on what signs may get along well or not well, or where some people may feel a bit pushed by the other if someone wants an adventurous holiday and the other wants to go for a nice meal or fine dining. .
