Can someone’s zodiac sign determine how they prefer to travel? You bet, says G Adventures, which has just unveiled insights into the travel habits of solo adventurers based on the stars.

In celebration of its new Solo-ish travel style, designed exclusively for solo travellers, the small group adventure operator has taken a deep-dive into 12 months of solo booking data to reveal how an individual’s zodiac sign shapes decision making when it comes to travel. The company has matched each zodiac sign with its ideal Solo-ish adventure, creating itineraries that perfectly align with the traits of each star sign.

Key findings include:

• Cancer and Leo lead the pack as the top solo adventure bookers globally.
• Sagittarius ranks highest among female solo travellers, while Gemini dominates male solo bookings.
• Scorpio travellers have the highest average age, while youthful Virgos have the lowest.
• Capricorns are most likely to book through travel agents, while practical Virgos prefer direct bookings.
• Pisces often make last-minute travel plans, whereas organized Aquarians and Libras book well in advance.
• Gemini is the top zodiac sign booking solo adventures from Canada.
