Aries (March 21 – April 19)

See Raleigh from new heights on a hot air balloon ride with Hot Air Marketing, jump from swinging obstacles and hit the zipline at Treerunner Adventure Park, or channel your inner speed demon with a trip to the Wake County Speedway.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Vacation is about treating yo’ self, right? It’s about turning your phone on Do Not Disturb, pouring a glass of champagne, and soaking in bubbles. B

efore you head to Raleigh’s beautiful Umstead Hotel and Spa, pick up a sweet treat at Escazu Chocolates (we suggest splurging on their 30-Piece Box of personally curated chocolates). Once you’ve had your fill of relaxation, head over to North Hills for a shop-till-you-drop day. With high-end boutique stores, upscale dining, and landscaped outdoor spaces, any luxury-loving Taurus will feel right at home.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Curiosity might have killed the cat, but it feeds the Gemini. When it comes to being in a new place, you’re ready to explore, meet new people, and get the most out of your time in a new place!

Raleigh has no shortage of a social scene. Head over to Raleigh Rum Company for hand-crafted premium rum tasting and a private tour. If you’re looking for more variety, give the Raleigh Beer Trail a try — not only will you get to sip a variety of craft beers, but you’ll earn prizes while you’re at it! For the brunch-loving Gemini, check out St. Roch Fine Oysters + Bar or Irregardless Cafe for a delicious start to your day.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

As a Cancer, you’re all about the waterworks. Whether you’re wiping away tears after an emotional beach read or relaxing by a peaceful river, you truly embrace your water sign nature.

Dive deeper into your element with a picnic by Falls Lake or Lake Crabtree County Park, or take a stroll on the Reuse River Trail. After a day outside, let your emotions soar and catch a concert at Koka Booth Amphitheatre or the Red Hat Amphitheatre.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Lights, camera, action! Leo, you’re the star of the show wherever you go. You bring the energy, the fun, and (sometimes) the drama. Lucky for you, Raleigh has all kinds of stages.

Whether you’re searching for a comedy club or looking for a fun night out, you have plenty of options in the City of Oaks. If you’re looking for laughs, catch a show or an improv class at Goodnights Comedy Club or ComedyWorx. Finish out the trip with a lively night of dancing, drinks, and music at Legends Nightclub.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Virgo, we’re confident you’ve already got your Raleigh itinerary planned, printed, and laminated. However, we’ve got a few more spots you might want to consider adding. Even though “vacation” might not be in your vocabulary (what’s PTO?), we know you thrive on learning new skills and taking on challenges.

While in Raleigh, check out Triangle Rock Club and climb over 20,000 square feet of state-of-the-art Eldorado Climbing Walls, or grab a smoothie and try a “Yoga Under the Stars” class at Dose Yoga + Smoothie Bar. Since you’re trying new things, you might as well head over to Oro Restaurant & Lounge for a unique dining experience with delicious, one-of-a-kind flavors.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Libra, you see beauty everywhere (we love that about you). With majestic oaks lining the streets, historic sites, and a vibrant art scene, Raleigh is filled to the brim with loveliness.

The North Carolina Museum of Art offers a gallery with collections spanning more than 5,000 years as well as a beautiful 164-acre park with nature-centered artwork and beauty. You’ll also want to pay a visit to Raleigh Municipal Rose Garden, a historic garden featuring 1,200 roses of 60 different floral varieties. 

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Everyone loves a little mystery, but Scorpio, you like a lot of mystery. Well, we’ve got some Raleigh hidden gems for you to uncover.

Hit the famous, hole-in-the-wall, The Roast Grill, for a “hot weiner” and cold beer. For an extra dose of mystery and intrigue, set off on a quest to uncover the secret door at The Architect and make your way to the hidden Green Light speakeasy — their creative cocktails and elusive atmosphere will make the search well worth it.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Ah, our bold and free-spirited Sagittarius. For you, the word “vacation” is synonymous with “adventure.” You’re a frequent traveler and always looking for something new to discover.

Look no further than Raleigh’s Go Ape Adventures, where you’ll hop from tree to tree (50 ft high!), zip down a 500 ft long zipline, and swing like Tarzan above the treetops. If you’re looking for something more grounded, hop onto the famous Mountains-to-Sea Trail, North Carolina’s state hiking trail. Stretching 1,175 miles, you hike for as little or as long as you’d like.

Don’t let the adventuring stop there; take your tastebuds on a trip to The Morgan Street Food Hall or Transfer Co. Food Hall. Both offer delicious and diverse eateries.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

There’s nothing quite as sweet as the taste of success. Even on vacation, you’re still an ambitious go-getter.

Stop by Raleigh’s NC Sports Hall of Fame and feel inspired by some of the stories and achievements of North Carolina’s greats. Afterward, head over to Kings Bowl or Drive Shack for a competitive game of golf or bowling. Nothing beats the feeling of coming home from vacation with a win, right Capricorn?

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarius, you’re ahead of the curve when it comes to what’s cool. You’re a little eccentric (in the best way) and you love doing your own thing.

We’re pretty sure The Green Monkey is made for you — you’ll love this funky gift shop filled with everything from craft beers and specialty wines to unique keychains, coffee cups, socks, and so much more! After you’ve had your shopping fill, spend the afternoon at Juniper Level Botanic Garden and explore one of the largest and most diverse plant collections in the world.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Sweet, sensitive, creative, and empathetic — Pisces, you’re a true treasure. You feel most at home in creative settings that allow you to express yourself and connect with others.

Start your morning slow with a cup of coffee from the local’s favorite spot, Iris Coffee Lab. If you’re craving something a little more unique or feeling adventurous, grab a Hojicha Latte from Heirloom Coffee Roasters. Afterward, get your creative juices flowing at Artspace, a space designed specifically for creativity and the celebration of art. End the day with a unique cocktail from Raleigh’s favorite vintage bar, The Merchant.
