Direct Holidays asked Ruth to detail which holiday destinations are most suited to each of the 12 star signs.

So, if you're a Leo dithering over the ideal hot spot for your summer holiday, the stars recommend you to consider Cyprus, where the stunning scenery and ancient architecture will appeal to your feline appreciation of opulence and luxury.

If you're born under Libra, yor sociable, fun-loving streak makes Ibiza the place for you.

Adventurous Aries would love Tenerife for its wide range of sports activities, while the beautiful family-orientated resort of Zante is recommended for Taurus.

Geminis love versatility, so Turkey's mix of cultures is perfect.

For imaginative, travel-hungry Cancer, Mexico is the place to visit, while the stunning beaches, friendly people and excellent food of Fuerteventura is perfect for Virgo.

Rhodes, the island once described by the ancient Greeks as being "more beautiful than the sun" is the obvious choice for passionate Scorpio, especially as it offers easy access to many of the quieter, more secluded Greek islands.
