UK roadtrip, based on star signs

Driving your own way on holiday means you have the freedom to get to places off the tourist track, you have optimum comfort plus total flexibility. There is nothing better than holidaying at your pace, following your interests and enjoying your time off just as you please.

What have star signs got to do with it?

Astrology is a version of divination that forecasts events through observations of the fixed stars, the sun, the moon and the planets. The Babylonians divided the zodia into 12 signs by 1500 BC, and the practice of astrology has existed for centuries in different variations.

According to Google Trends, search terms including ‘astrology’ and ‘birth chart’ both hit their highest point in five years during 2021.
