Astrological Adventures: Best Activities and Deals in Singapore for Every Zodiac Sign This July

With the new moon occurring in Cancer this month, July opens the window to introspection, giving us an opportunity to understand ourselves on a deeper level - and perhaps, to rethink our future plans and prospects. This month, we’ve teamed up with The Travel Insider again to come up with the best activities in Singapore to match your energies, according to each zodiac sign’s horoscope. Drawing on astrological analysis by SkyHoroscope, here’s your handy guide to the fun and fresh (plus some great deals for UOB Cardmembers) for the month.

 

Aries

July is the perfect time for singles born under the fire sign to meet new people, thanks to Venus and Mars in the lion’s position - even those who have a partner will enjoy the support of joyful and sensitive communication. Coupled with excellent physical condition this month, make the most of July by spending more time in the great outdoors.

Astrological Adventure: Embark on a Singapore Bike Tour that’ll take you along the city’s charming backstreets and landmarks. Expect interesting nuggets of information from your experienced guide that make for great conversation starters. UOB Cardmembers, book through Klook for S$10 off a minimum S$60 surplus spend after applying your SingapoRediscovers vouchers. 

 

Taurus

Taurus babies can expect a bullish month brimming with harmony and good morale, due to Jupiter moving into Pisces' position. You’ll find yourself ceasing to worry about things you can’t control, so take the time to find inner peace this July. Introspective pursuits like literature, painting, or meditation will help you find balance.

Astrological Adventure: There are many quotes about reading, but none we love better than one by the 19th-century American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson - “Some books leave us free and some books make us free.” Kill two birds with one stone this July by looking to local independent bookstore BooksActually for your literary journeys. UOB Cardmembers get 15% off storewide (excluding magazine products and pre-order titles).

 

Gemini

The twins will see significant influence from Jupiter, which could result in hypersensitivity and an emotional month for Geminis. If articulating emotions is not your strong suit, opting for self-isolation - or squirreling up somewhere with your partner - to find contentment might be a good move.

Astrological Adventure: Beat the blues this July with M Social Hotel Singapore’s Bottled Up Happiness staycay. This intimate retreat includes a complimentary perfume making workshop that’ll let you take home two customised scents, breakfast, a complimentary room upgrade, and 10% off their all-day restaurant Beast & Butterflies. Save with your UOB Card by getting S$10 off a minimum S$150 surplus spend after applying your SingapoRediscovers vouchers when you book through Klook. 

 

Cancer

Folks born under the water sign can look forward to an energy-filled month with a need for adrenaline and desire to expand your knowledge. Your nurturing soul and Mercury’s shift into Cancer might see loved ones leaning on you more than usual for company and support, so small group activities are best, especially the second half of July.

Astrological Adventure: Head into the mystery of the night with Night Safari’s private Safari Adventure Tour (S$450, five pax) for adrenaline and edutainment. Perfect for the young and young-at-heart, go off the beaten path with insider stories about the animals from a personal guide and an exclusive feeding session with elephants. UOB Cardmembers save 20% too! 

 

Leo

Venus will lend its warmth and harmony to Leos, who should take advantage and build new relationships in professional and social spheres this month while balancing the need for quality time with your partner. The desire for material goods and pleasures might also be awakened this month, so watch out for excessive spending.

Astrological Adventure: Spend your money where it counts this month. Treat yourself (and your partner) to some quality rest and relaxation time at The Thai Spa with their range of therapeutic treatments like their Hot Stone Massage and Lomi Lomi Massage. UOB Cardmembers get 20% off signature treatments.

 

Virgo

Virgos might be imbued with a sense of superiority this month, courtesy of Venus, so you might want to pay attention to your words and be careful not to underestimate people around you. Turn this self-confidence into unwavering affection towards your loved ones instead - strengthen your bonds with them with plenty of fun!

Astrological Adventure: Swim up to Singapore’s only beachfront hotel with a staycation at Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa. Enjoy island life at its best while you soak up the sun, take a dip in its expansive pool, and indulge in Sentosa’s natural wonders and many activities. UOB Cardmembers, get S$50 off a minimum S$400 surplus spend after applying your SingapoRediscovers vouchers when you book through Klook. 

 

Libra

Despite a smooth start for Libras, the Moon’s influence might see a multiplier effect on your emotions while Jupiter sends in energies of evolution in the later part of the month. You’ll be able to find control and balance in the circumstances you find yourself in, though engaging in creative activities will help a fair bit in getting through July.

Astrological Adventure: Whether or not you consider yourself a foodie, learning how to cook is a skill that keeps on giving. Get your hands busy at the ToTT Store with their cooking and baking classes, be it getting creative with decorating a buttercream floral cake, making lasagna from scratch, or putting together modern Thai dishes. Plus, UOB Cardmembers enjoy 10% off all cooking and baking classes.

 

Scorpio

Thanks to Uranus, there are changes abound for Scorpios in July. Exploration and experimentation are the watchwords of the month, but take care that these attitudes might lead to irreconcilable differences and affect your relationships. With so much going on, you might feel more than inclined to take a break from work.

Astrological Adventure: Retreat to the countryside that is Changi, into the loving embrace of Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore. Even if you’re not a golfer, the expansive, undulating greenery makes for a transportative experience.

UOB Cardholders, book via Klook for S$10 off a minimum S$150 surplus spend after applying your SingapoRediscovers vouchers.

 

Sagittarius

With Saturn’s influence this July, Sagittariuses might feel the need to stand their ground and uphold the values they hold dear. While this might cause some friction in relationships, the stars also suggest that it’s an ideal time to start looking for a better position if you’re thinking of leaving your current workplace.

Astrological Adventure: Try relaxing or changing your stance by learning something new - Stand Up Paddling. This hybrid tour-course on the calm waters of Sentosa will have you earning a one-star certification by the end of the day. UOB Cardmembers, book through Klook for S$10 off a minimum S$60 surplus spend after applying your SingapoRediscovers vouchers. 

 

Capricorn

Jupiter has dealt the family card to Capricorns in July, so you might feel more dutiful to your family and thereby become overly protective (which might not be a good thing). Try reducing these tendencies by investing in self-development, gaining knowledge, or just taking a proper break.

Astrological Adventure: Dare yourself (though we suggest bringing a friend or two) and go on one of the creepiest walks in Singapore. Armed with candles and paranormal detection devices, visit a World War II battlefield, a famous cemetery, and a former Japanese laboratory with a long history of massacres. Not for the faint-hearted, but UOB Cardholders have more reason with S$10 off a minimum S$60 surplus spend after applying your SingapoRediscovers vouchers. 

 

Pisces

Pisces can expect to be hypersensitive and be under the major influence of emotions this July. Combat this by strengthening your relationship with nature, which will help to restore your inner peace and balance, since you’ll be in the pink of health this month.
