Where to Travel in 2025, According to Your Sign

04.01.2025 - 10:27 / cntraveler.com

Last year, we saw travel return to its pre-pandemic baseline. And given the way tourism seems to be trending now in the direction of off-peak seasons and “off the beaten trail,” it seems like travelers may have learned a thing or two about the pitfalls of over-tourism in recent years. Rome may not have any quiet summers to look forward to anytime soon, but sustainable travel is catching on, and increasingly, so are the options for people who want to be mindful of their impact (and no less stimulated by the new places they visit).

As far as the astrology goes, 2025 is a year when everything starts to change. It is rare to see every outer planet change signs in the same year, but we are heading into an unusual time of palpable transitions. Many of the cultural trends we’ve grown accustomed to will fade away as a new zeitgeist takes their place, and travel is unlikely to look the same either. Perhaps as Neptune leaves Pisces and settles into Aries, the wellness boom will quiet down as daring solo expeditions increase in popularity—this could be the year you're swapping spiritual retreats for solitary hikes up iconic peaks.

The outlook for travel in general also improves with Jupiter entering Cancer on June 9. Since late May of 2024, Jupiter has been in Gemini, whetting our appetites for long-form storytelling and other kinds of mentally stimulating adventures. However, this is challenging terrain for the planet of freedom and exploration. In the first half of 2025, we might be motivated more by short trips, multi-city adventures, and conferences that the bucket-list endeavors. With Jupiter’s entry into Cancer in June, the world may once again feel like one’s oyster, so to speak, and a more abundant experience of hospitality may await travelers in the remainder of the year.

So, how is one to narrow down their options? Which trips will you most enjoy this year—and which will speak to the needs of your sign? Drawing from Condé Nast Traveler's list of the 25 places to visit in 2025, we've identifyed one location in particular that checks the right boxes for each of you, astrologically speaking. Read on for our recommendations on where to travel next year according to your zodiac sign, as well as when in the year you’ll be most supported to take said journey.

Aries appreciates a challenge, so a trip to the remote icescapes of Antarctica will be rewarding in more ways than one.
