Aries
Alaska
This wild and wonderful state is the geographical embodiment of Aries. With rugged terrain including frozen tundras and lush forests set against snow-capped mountains, Alaska is as complex and bold as the fiery ram sign. Adventure and bravery are key points for both, making this state a natural landing point for Aries.

Taurus
Georgia
Like Taurus, this state has a deep sense of history and an appreciation for family. While Georgia may be considered "old fashioned" to some, it is this respect to tradition that has allowed the Peach State to flourish. Georgia is also glamorous, giving the bull sign a much needed dose of elegance and luxury they secretly crave.

Gemini
California
Bright, happy and organic descibe both the Golden State and Gemini. An eclectic geography of natural beauty and big-city style make California a beacon for the charismatic, intellectual twin sign. Added bonus: Los Angeles is the home to many budding performers and Gemini is an artist just waiting to be discovered.

Cancer
Florida
Known for its physical beauty and considerable wealth, Florida is well-suited for hard-shelled Cancer. This crab sign feels most secure when they display a persona of contentment and happiness, as it allows them to protect their delicate, emotional inner world. In the Sunshine State, they have the freedom to be whoever they want to the public and plenty of time to retreat from society and indulge in much-needed personal reflection alongside the serene ocean.

Leo
Arizona
Deep like the Grand Canyon, Leo is drawn to earthy, warm environments that give them opportunities to excel in their careers while also having strong connections to the past. Arizona is the perfect match of new world and old, where dusty plains and natural wonders collide with technology and industry, giving this lion sign all the elements needed to feel right at home.

Virgo
Montana
If Virgo is too far from nature, their already anxious minds can go into overdrive. The peaceful, simple beauty of Montana, home to agriculture, mining and lush mountains gives worrywart Virgo the perfect opportunity to work in a job they love, while having lots of time to relax, take a deep breath and find their emotional centers.

Libra
Washington D.C.
Although not technically a state, the District of Columbia is the seat of our nation's government, which is appealing to justice-minded Libra. Drawn to careers that allow them to work towards a better world, this star sign is likely to be an influencer in political matters. The vast opportunities to meet people and explore cultures are exciting to Libra, who is passionate about finding new things to love.

Scorpio
New York
The Empire State is not all steel and concrete, just like Scorpio isn't all sass and spice. The vast majority of this famous East Coast locale is lush with nature, including lakes, mountains and agricultural land. To outsiders, New York may seem tough, but once you get past the big city, you see how lovely it truly is. The same is true for spitfire Scorpio, who may come off as intense, but secretly loves the simplicity of nature and having their family close by.

Sagittarius
Hawaii
These wayward travelers need a state that feels outside the ordinary. That's why the tropical paradise of the Hawaiian islands are the perfect home base for explorative Sagittarius. There, they can indulge in their curious study of the world and new people while enjoying every mountainous and deep sea adventure they can find.

Capricorn
Texas
This southern state is known for hard-working men and women who aren't afraid of getting their hands dirty to get the job done. Hot, humid Texas is a great place for equally industrius Capricorn, who relishes the chance to sweat and push their minds and muscles to the edge in order to reach their goals.

Aquarius
Colorado
Innovative and not afraid to be a bit weird, this Rocky Mountain state is a natural expression of quirky and unique Aquarius. With natural beauty to quell this wind sign's philosophical mind, and the courage to take chances on new ideas, Colorado is a little piece of hippy heaven for anyone who wants to blaze their own trail.

Pisces
Oregon
The landscape of this western state varies between arid and dry to wet and rainy, a perfect match to Pisces, a pronounced water sign who hides a vast emotional world under the surface. Stewards of compassion and kindness, Oregon provides this fish sign with the opportunity to be true to themselves while finding a supportive community they can lean on when life gets too turbulent.
