So April has been the wettest month in the UK since records began in 1910 with more flood warnings to come from the Met Office. The May Day Bank Holiday also looks to be a wet and windy day off too! With all this soggy weather, we asked the UK’s favourite astrologer and TV celebrity Russell Grant to reveal what might be in store for the Summer months and also what type of holiday best suits each of the 12 Star signs.
Aries (Mar21-Apr20) You aren’t a person to let inclement weather bother you or get you down. Once you are away, you will make the most of your holiday. If you’re camping, pack plenty extra clothing and waterproof gear in case of rain. Having the right equipment will make all the difference. You like to be active and enjoy holidays that offer challenge and adventure. Wherever you’re going and whatever you have planned for the summer, you fully intend to enjoy it, rain, hail or shine! Getting away from it all on a spontaneous whim can also be exciting. Best type of holiday and locations for you are: European Camping Holiday, Mountaineering holiday, Hiking Tour in the UK.
Taurus (Apr21-May21) Package tours where everything is organised and you don’t have to do a lot of thinking yourself gives you a chance to indulge your lazy side. You work hard most of the year so you deserve a break and you will thoroughly enjoy being pampered on a relaxing holiday. Once you recoup your energy you might also think about doing some volunteer work overseas.

Best type of holiday and locations for you are: Italy, Spa and Wellness Lakeside Breaks or Volunteering Holiday Overseas
Gemini (May22-June21) Rain or shine, as long as you are holidaying with your favourite people, you will have fun. You might plan in advance so you have plenty ideas for activities in case of bad weather, and venues to visit if and when the sun does shine! At the same time you are versatile and happy to go with the mood of the moment. You enjoy variety and have a fascination for foreign cultures, religions, myths and beliefs. That’s why you’re likely to choose locations where you can meet a variety of interesting people and experiment with new activities.

Cancer (June22-July23) You’ve always been sensitive and spiritual and this year you just want to get away from the crowds. Cancer is a Water sign and it can be enormously relaxing, as well as spiritually uplifting, to be beside lakes, rivers or the sea. The idea of a renting a canal boat is a one you have considered for many years. Once you find a boat company that offers comfortable onboard facilities that will make your boating holiday a home from home, you could make 2012 the year to make this dream come true.

Leo (July24-Aug23) If you are typical of your sign, “getting away from it all” means enjoying an unforgettable holiday experience. Some years you will seek challenge and adventure: an African safari, sailing, climbing mountains or horse riding. Other times you will yearn for something more relaxing like a luxury cruise or a tropical paradise destination with plenty relaxation and fun in the sun. Every year you hope the experience will be the best ever and that your holiday to be a one you will always remember.

Virgo (Aug24-Sept23) You like to have everything completely organised down to the last detail. Choose your travel companions wisely.

In fact you would probably end the holiday feeling stressed out and in need of another break to get over it! Whether you decide to book an all inclusive holiday or you arrange the travel and hotel bookings yourself, you will have most fun when travelling with people you can trust and rely on and who aren’t likely to run off and get themselves lost the moment you aren’t looking! Best type of holiday and locations for you are: Luxury mobile homes in France, China, or an Alaskan Wildlife Tour.
Libra (Sept24-Oct23). You would rather holiday with a friend, partner or the family than go anywhere alone.
