Zodiac Travel Astrology

I came across a local line of Zodiac shoes. The zodiac symbols are ornamented with faux gemstones on the face of the shoes. The shoes are made of gamusa material, a kin of suede. A particular color was assigned to each of the Zodiac signs. The Zodiac shoes are astrologically gorgeous!

I bought a pair of my Zodiac sign, Sagittarius. I love the pretty purple color and the arrow embellishment. The universe had said that this pair is meant to be mine.















Pisces, Gemini, Libra, Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio Zodiac Shoes
Leo, Virgo, Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, Sagittarius Zodiac Shoes

These Zodiac shoes inspired me to write a travel horoscope. Shoes are associated with going somewhere, to a place that not only the feet like, but which the soul loves to reach.

I revisited my Zodiac books and ran through the traits of each of the signs, before I wrote my own interpretation. I referred to a Cosmopolitan book for the lucky days, numbers, stone and colors, then I played around with the travel tips.
