Astrologer Alison Moroney teamed up with Hotels.com to reveal the top domestic travel and romance recommendations for Aussies based on their horoscopes.

ARIES: Aries are energetic, full of enthusiasm and like doing things in style. Where romance and holidays are concerned, they love theatre, sport, and upmarket accommodation. Places that offer plenty of activities, both sporting and cultural, are appealing to them. Because romance and recreational interests are governed by the same house, these are the places they are likely to find love. Places to visit in 2019: London, UK

TAURUS: Taurean natives are connoisseurs of good food and fine wine. They love life’s little comforts but they’re also earthy and practical, and very much interested in remaining fit for health reasons. Consequently, when they travel, they like to do it in style but cost factors always influence these decisions. They enjoy natural environments and holiday destinations should allow them to partake in little luxuries whilst enjoying the benefits of staying fit or enjoying their natural surroundings. Places to visit in 2019: Florence, Italy
