Because of their auspicious relationship with the Horse, Dogs are one of the luckiest signs this year. Loyal and reliable, Dogs are both adoring and adored—the best friends in the Zodiac. Due to their advantage this year, they should go anywhere that their friends are invited so their loved ones can share in their luck. Really, insist that your friends join. It’s for their own good.
Pig
2019, 2007, 1995, 1983, 1971, 1959, 1947
The generally optimistic, cheerful, and calm Pigs might be overwhelmed by the intensity of the Fire Horse year, but their level-headedness will keep them stable. Romance is in the air for famously generous Pigs this year, so it’s ideal to splurge on the object of your affection. Generosity doesn’t have to be monetary; why not plan a weekend away for someone who hates logistics, or secretly book that hotel they pointed out a picture of?
Rat
2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948
Rats are sociable, charming leaders who are perceptive to their environments. As they oppose the Horse, they could face an intense year, but being proactive about changing their energy will go far. Don’t hesitate to switch your environment through high-energy life events or expansive travel. Plan ahead, embrace the chaos, and fling yourself to that far-off locale you’ve been putting off—with a beloved group by your side, of course.
Ox
2021, 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949
Oxen are all about hard work and endurance; steadfast and beholden to routine, inclined to patterns and patience. “This year, the Ox will want to double-check all their travel details and make sure the movement is easeful so there is less opportunity for things to go awry,” Cho says. Think about nonstop flights, un-rushed road trips, and vacations where you post up in one place, rather than changing hotels every couple nights. Where can you go that you’ll be happy to simply unfurl?
Tiger
2022, 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950
Tigers have luck on their side this year, due to their good relationship with the Horse. Cho urges Tigers to go out and do what they want to do while they have a rosy outlook for it. Lau agrees Tigers should follow the Horse’s lead and trail blaze a new path. Tigers are powerful, brave, competitive spirits. It would be a good year to plan trips around sporting events, once-in-a-blue-moon cultural happenings, or adventurous activities.
Rabbit
2023, 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951
Rabbits are serene, artistic, and self-disciplined, able to swiftly achieve their goals. They should exercise caution this year and choose peaceful, uncluttered hotels to stay in, paying attention to their travel feng shui. Two of Cho’s tips for travel are to clear your space upon arrival with essential oils or sage, and to unpack your belongings right away, giving them room to stretch. This will ensure you have the best energy, wherever you go.
Dragon
2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952, 1940
The mythical dragon represents magic, confidence, and ambition. Dragons are born leaders with an unshakeable sense of self. Beware the tendency to slip into self-absorption as a Dragon, however. Consider travel that centers others this year: taking a trip to visit friends who don’t live in the most traditionally desirable locales will bring you closer, and allow you to spread your legendary charisma around.
Snake
2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965, 1953, 1941
