8 Best Stargazing Spots To Fit Your Unique Zodiac Trait

When the sun sets, the constellations show up in New Zealand’s night sky. We’ve created a list of stargazing spots where you can observe and see for yourself if the stars are aligned. Since this article is all about stars, we figured why not match it according to your unique Zodiac traits.  

Disclaimer: Matching the Zodiac signs to the places is just our creative way of describing these stargazing spots, all of these are definitely for everyone who wants to gaze and make a wish upon a star!

An otherworldly experience is assured in Lake Tekapo. You can join a crater tour that can make it even better with an observatory that is made to protect you from wind and light pollution. This tops our list since it allows you to get closer to the stars as Dark Project Crater Tour provides powerful optical telescopes. This honest-to-goodness spot is reminiscent of Tauruses who are chill but ambitious enough to reach for the stars.  

This next spot is surrounded by bodies of water which made us think of a sign none other than the water sign, Pisces! You can take an evening canoe in Lake Rotoiti where you can see a display of infinite sparkles from stars in the skies and glow worms on high sided canyons. Like the Pisces, this place is a heaven-sent masterpiece, very mystical and awe-inspiring.

If you’re one of the Libras and you like peace, serenity and balance then you might want to visit Kaikoura. Before gazing at the southern lights, you can go whale watching and be astounded at their graceful movements.

Appreciate the balance of seeing the biggest creatures on earth and the smallest twinkles in the sky. 

This one is for the free spirit, the adventurer or the Sag. A place like Tongariro in Taupo has the most celestial views of the mountains and the milky way. But before that, a bungy jump experience in the area can also be enjoyable for Sagittarians who are in for the thrill. Take this leap of faith before relaxing under the stars.

Stargazing at Mount Cook is definitely a must-do since it has little to no light pollution making the stars twinkle brighter. Ready your warmers because you’ll fly above cold glaciers in the Southern Alps through a 360 degree ski plane. This pre-stargazing activity is best for air signs like Gemini who love to have fun.

Before seeing the big dipper take a morning dip in Onsen Hot Pools. This is definitely a treat for Cancers who are called the nurturers. Once you have been pampered, you can reflect by stargazing in Queenstown. The perfect blend of the skyline and stars will leave you grateful for a place like New Zealand.

New Zealand is the top spot for campervan explorers and a night under the stars in Twizel will make it more memorable. This practical and down to earth activity is perfect for the Virgos who love to plan and navigate. With over 500 freedom camping sites, this is one that you don’t want to miss. 

Our wildcard goes to Castlepoint in Wairarapa. This small beach town being a secluded place gives a good view of the constellations but leaves a little mystery like the Scorpios. Quiet evenings near the lighthouse can definitely make the secretive Scorpio in you happy. 

New Zealand is the place to hit up if you're up for an adventure. Find out more of what you can explore!
