Tofitian Horoscopes

Exploring Spring in Tofino Based on Your Astrological Sign

This is a guide for how your signs travel! There is no one-size-fits-all and often we will see ourselves reflected in many different archetypes of the horoscope.

You can start by looking at your Sun, Moon, & Rising.

If you want to go deeper, your Mars might tell you about what motivates you while you travel, and your Venus might tell you more about what is important for you. Your Mercury tells you what you need. Your 3rd house is short distance travel, your 9th house is international travel.

You can also look at your astro-cartography (what your astrology looks like intersecting with a map of the world) and what Tofino as a place holds for you.

If something doesn’t resonate then you don’t have to take it on!

A Guide to Tofino for Aries:

Dates: March 21 - April 19

Ruling Planet: Mars

Body Part: Head/Face [brain, eyes, face, adrenals, head]

An ideal trip to Tofino in the spring for an Aries is going to involve some hot & cold therapy. This active, ruled by Mars energy wants to move all that stagnant energy as we step into its season.

A surf followed by a session at Tuff City Saunas and some electrolytes will clear the mind, skin, and heart. This is an energy that wants to play and have fun - let yourself go on a whale tour or take a sea plane!

Aries is a sign that lives for nostalgia, so make room for ice cream stops, silly souvenirs, and endless photos. It's all about the inner child here and letting them run wild!

Things to look out for: desire to over-pack, desire to party and desire to cry.

A Guide to Tofino for Taurus

Dates: April 20 - May 20

Ruling Planet: Venus

Body Part: Neck/Throat [throat, vocal cords, neck, thyroid gland]

Taurus is the master of little luxuries, like a warm cup of tea on a cozy beach walk. The ideal Tofino trip for Taurus is going to be sleeping in the coziest bed, restaurant hopping, and maybe a bit of shopping…

Bring a scarf to stay cozy in the spring breeze and make intentional time for your rituals. Eat and edible and go for a long walk in the old growth rainforest. Hum, sing, and laugh as often as you can. 

A Guide to Tofino for Gemini

Dates: May 21 - June 21

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Body Part: Arms/Hands [shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, lungs, nervous system]

Gemini is the connector - you want to go on a tour, to the gallery, a museum, and then maybe a happy hour to ask a local what you should do next. Geminis perfect Tofino itinerary is one that has lots of options and no boundaries.

Bonus points if you can make something to bring home with you - like at this Beading Workshop with Elizabeth George. Your trip essentials include nervous system regulation and someone to be decisive when you have 3 different (vastly different) options for your night. 

Gemini have the tendency to over-pack, but they always have what they ened for every part of them - and every part of you, too. There is definitely an extra matching mood ring for you.

A Guide to Tofino for Cancer

Dates: June 22 - July 22

Ruling Planet: Moon

Body Part: Chest/Stomach [chest, breasts, stomach, digestion]

This moon led sign loves a more slow paced, touch grass kind of experience. A cafe to do your daily journalling from, a yoga class at Forest & Waves, and a long walk in the rainforest is the quintessential Cancer experience. All with hot tea in hand - until it’s iced drink season, then it’s probably an iced vanilla latte.

Followed by some comfort food and an early night snuggled up watching your favourite show with your sweatsuit on. A Cancer definitely brought anything and everything you need, organized in cute little matching containers.

Cancer is an archivist and is probably capturing the event via journal, photos, a collection of random scraps from each happening. They do want that sticker or random piece of string or spare corner of paper-with-logo.

A Guide to Tofino for Leo

Dates: July 23 - August 22

Ruling Planet: Sun

Body Part: Heart/Back [heart, upper back, spine, gallbladder]

Leo as a sign really loves to work hard and play hard. They want to be able to do whatever they want on vacation; to move at a relaxed pace and luxuriate. Brunch, floating sea spa, dinner and karaoke night. Many outfit changes.

They’re flexible - as long as nothing feels rushed and they are with people they can be silly but fabulous with, all will be well. Leo also need some alone time, and need the space on a trip to go their own way. 

If they don’t want to do what everyone else is, they won’t. Not to make a statement, but just because they can’t fathom anyone not doing exactly what they want. Leo love it when their friends come along, but there is also a special place in their hearts for solo adventures.

A Guide to Tofino for Virgo

Dates: August 23 - September 22

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Body Part: Abdomen/Intestines [abdomen, intestines, liver, spleen]

Virgo certainly has a plan for their perfect Tofino trip. There is some kind of itinerary, if you forgot something they have it, and anything you have a question about they have already researched.

This is definitely optimized energy - while they don’t feel the need to pack in everything, they do want to make the most of what they have. Usually, if you listen to the Virgo plan it will be a great trip for all involved (because Virgo made personalized itineraries based on everyones preferences).

They usually have some kind of dietary restriction (no shade) so going somewhere with lots of options like The Bear is essential.

Bring comfy clothes with lots of layers to keep the abdomen warm, drink lots of herbal tea and eat lots of fibre. 

A Guide to Tofino for Libra

Dates: September 23 - October 22

Ruling Planet: Venus

Body Part: Lower Back/Kidneys [kidneys, lower back, ovaries, buttocks]

Libra is an explorer and are invested in quality & cuteness equally. They will spend a little more to get exactly what they want, they will definitely have an extra shirt for you to borrow, and they’re a great companion whether you want to go with the flow or have a rigid schedule.

As long as Libra has...

• comfortable shoes

• a cute treat

• a good sleep

• the setting is beautiful

...then they are ready to have a good time.

Libra can be a chiller or a partier, but whatever energy they need at that moment it’s 100%. If they are in chill mode, they are not going out. If they are in party mode, they aren’t being tamed. Take extra care to keep a Libra hydrated.

What Libra needs is as much info as possible to make a decision, so give them the facts ASAP if you want them to be ready on time.

A Guide to Tofino for Scorpio

Dates: October 23 - November 21

Ruling Planet: Mars

Body Part: Reproductive System [sexual organs, rectum colon, excretory system]

As a vacationer, Scorpio wants to do something with meaning. A whale watching tour with Ahous Adventures, going for a hike to find a crashed airplane, or a nature walk infused with indigenous wisdom. As a planet that’s also ruled by Mars, they love to do something intense.

Scorpio definitely wants a lot of privacy in their settings, and want an experience that will transform them - whether that’s romantic, spiritual, or cognitive. Travelling with a Scorpio is intense and wonderful. Prepare for little bit of chaos and a lot of play. 

A Guide to Tofino for Sagittarius

Dates: November 22 - December 21

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

Body Part: Hips/Thighs [hips, thighs, liver, sciatic nerve]

This expansive energy is known as “the archer”. They have goals - they are less of a vacationer and more of an explorer. This is the person who is zooming in on the backroads of google maps, has done a reddit deep dive and knows the person with extra tickets to that show at the bar. They have that one product with them that does everything, several snacks, and somehow fit their whole life into a backpack.

If you want to have a one-of-a-kind experience that is authentic to Tofino (even if they’ve never been here) then a Sag is who to travel with. They’re game for anything, know how to find the best of everything, and have endless stamina.

This is definitely an adventure all day and party all night kind of situation. Milking every moment, yet it feels easeful instead of jam-packed because Sagittarius knows how to listen to the rhythm of time.

A Guide to Tofino for Capricorn

Dates: December 22 - January 19

Ruling Planet: Saturn

Body Part: Knees/Joints [knees, bones, teeth, skin, joints]

Capricorn is the intersection between bougie and practical. They want the best bang for their buck and are willing to spend a little bit more energy finding the best quality.

As much as they may want to book when tickets are low, they also want to take their time talking over a nice bottle of wine and splurge on the hot springs tour. They are efficient, classy travellers and are able to have things flow smoothly without coming across as bossy.

They may have all the papers and bookings sorted out, but they also need some spaciousness and time to just be. Capricorn is represented by a Sea Goat, water and earth, flow and structure. This is also how they dress and pack.

A Guide to Tofino for Aquarius

Dates: January 20 - February 18

Ruling Planet: Uranus

Body Part: Calves/Circulation [calves, ankles, circulation, shins]

Aquarius is usually down to do the most strange, off-beat experience. They’ll be pulling scooby-snacks out of their pockets and are definitely trying to revive Poole’s Land. Find them van camping, getting notable lore from the locals, and becoming some kind of legend over night while also finding the coolest places to eat and having a very fulfilling journey.

If you want a kooky, playful, expansive adventure then Aquarius is the perfect travel companion. They’re very well prepared for extremely niche things and are magnets for oddities in the best possible way. They aren't exactly practical packers compared to some, but they always have exactly what they need. Oh and you’re going home with a really cool, super rare souvenir.

A Guide to Tofino for Pisces

Dates: February 19 - March 20

Ruling Planet: Neptune

Body Part: Feet [feet, toes, lymphatic system, pineal gland]

Pisces, as long as you have good footwear for the weather (and dancing), some time to have deep dreams, your niche comfort item and slow mornings you’re an easeful traveller.

They don’t mind bringing everything they want with them - kobo light, craft supplies, stuffed animal (although they look to you when they have forgotten a phone charger ).

Pisces merge themselves with a place and find the middle ground, an inspiration point. Moon Jelly Bathhouse is probably where you feel the most in your element - next only to collecting little scraps for your junk journal page.
