Ah, road trips. The open road. The questionable playlists. The passive-aggressive snack-sharing. And when you add astrology into the mix? Absolute chaos in a 2008 Toyota Rav4.
Whether you’re headed to a national park, a beach Airbnb, or your friend’s cousin’s destination wedding in Ohio (why?), the stars will be influencing your trip—and not in a calm, centered way.
Here’s how each zodiac sign acts when trapped in a vehicle with aux cord drama, iced coffee needs, and zero chill.
♈ Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Role: The aggressive driver who yells “I GOT THIS” before missing the exit.
Fueled by Red Bull and vibes, Aries insists on driving because “everyone else is too slow.” Gets road rage at squirrels. Stops at gas stations for no reason other than adrenaline. May or may not drag race a semi.
♉ Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Role: Packed a snack cooler that requires its own seatbelt.
Taurus has their entire self-care routine in the trunk—including a weighted blanket and a candle. Refuses to stop anywhere that doesn’t have cold brew and “real food.” Will absolutely sleep the entire drive.
♊ Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Role: DJ, chaos goblin, and TikTok documentarian.
Can’t sit still, asks “Are we there yet?” ironically, but also not. Constantly changes the playlist from 2000s emo to “vibey” EDM to true crime podcasts. Has 4 unread texts and 1 dramatic group chat fight in progress.
♋ Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Role: Emotional support passenger. Crying in sunglasses.
Woke up nostalgic. Packed snacks “for the group” and printed directions “just in case.” Plays sad music while staring out the window. Needs to stop for emotional support iced coffee every 90 minutes.
♌ Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Role: Brought five outfits “just for car selfies.”
Needs the aux and the attention. Insists on “accidentally” taking the front seat. Spends half the ride making reels and the other half adjusting sunglasses for dramatic passenger-side photos. Screams when they spot a cute brunch place.
♍ Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Role: The planner. Has printed itinerary folders. For everyone.
Made a Google Map with bathroom stops, scenic detours, and emergency snack backups. Gets personally offended when someone asks “What’s the plan?” Forgets to enjoy the trip because they’re micromanaging the vibes.
♎ Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Role: Agrees with everyone, even if it leads to disaster.
Can’t pick a playlist, snack, or gas station—but will gaslight everyone into thinking it’s fine. Starts drama in the backseat and then says “I just want everyone to be happy.” Brings unnecessary crystals. Probably wearing linen.
♏ Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Role: Quiet. Watching. Plotting.
Spends the first two hours silently judging everyone’s music taste. Then casually drops a deep secret no one was ready for. Brings mysterious snacks. Refuses to explain what’s in the bag. Makes everyone uncomfortable—but intrigued.
♐ Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Role: Took the scenic route “for the vibe.” Now you’re lost.
Will say, “Let’s be spontaneous!” then forgets the destination entirely. Laughs at maps. Lives on gas station Slim Jims and wanderlust. May try to convince the group to camp on the side of the road “for the memories.”
♑ Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Role: The parent. The realist. The one who paid for gas.
Keeps the receipts. Has emergency cash, a roadside kit, and respect for the itinerary. Hates fun until it’s efficient. Yells “we’re wasting daylight” at least three times. Knows the exact ETA at all times.
♒ Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Role: Blasting conspiracy podcasts and talking about aliens.
Brought a Bluetooth speaker and a kombucha no one asked for. Asks questions like, “Do we even exist on this timeline?” Believes GPS is a social construct. Possibly packed a crystal grid for protection.
♓ Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Role: Took Dramamine and emotionally disappeared.
Sleeping in the back seat with headphones on. When awake, tells weird dreams and tries to read tarot cards mid-turnpike. Forgot their ID, sunglasses, and half their luggage—but still brought incense.
Prepare for Summer Fun
If you’re planning a summer road trip, remember:
- Bring snacks (Taurus will fight you)
- Avoid letting Sagittarius near the GPS
- And for the love of brunch, never let Gemini DJ for more than 12 minutes
Safe travels, sun signs.
