Travel Destinations for 2024 Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Here at Dinogo, we have exciting travel plans for 2024. From enchanting islands in the South Pacific to iconic European cities, our list of must-visit places for the upcoming year is impressive. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of appealing choices, why not consult astrology for some guidance?

To gain insights into how astrology might shape our travels in 2024, we spoke with Adama Sesay, a professional astrologer at lilithastrology.com, and the author of Black Moon Lilith Rising and the Black Moon Lilith Cosmic Alchemy Oracle.

One of the most significant astrological events in 2024 is the transit of Pluto into Aquarius at the beginning of January, a shift that will influence the next two decades. This rare transition occurs once every few centuries; the last occurrence was during the American Revolution. According to Sesay, this change will not only affect global dynamics but also significantly influence our travel experiences throughout the year. In conjunction with this shift, we can anticipate advancements in technology and progress in humanitarian initiatives worldwide.

Additionally, Jupiter, the planet associated with travel, personal development, and fortune, will experience two major shifts next year. In the first half, Jupiter will reside in Taurus until May 24, 2024, a beneficial period as Taurus symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings—think opulent, luxurious trips to exotic locations. Following that, on May 25, 2024, Jupiter will transition into Gemini, a sign linked with limited travel within your local area, continuing until 2025.

During this period, be ready for more annoying obstacles to your travel plans, such as unforeseen delays. “The second half of the year may bring additional restrictions and increased paperwork that we need to be cautious of,” warns Sesay. Therefore, before heading to the airport for any significant trips in 2024, make sure all necessary documents, like visas, are prepared and allow yourself ample time to reach the airport. While the specific effects of both transitions on your travels will vary based on your individual astrology chart, it's beneficial to be aware of general astrological trends that could influence travel for everyone.

In addition to providing a 2024 astrology forecast, Sesay offered advice on the optimal times and destinations for each zodiac sign to explore in the coming year. These suggestions apply not only to your sun sign (the astrological sign under which you were born) but also to your rising sign (the sign that was ascending in the east at your birth).

Capricorn

December 22–January 19

“Capricorns are incredibly diligent and often bury themselves in work, making it feel unusual to take time for personal relaxation,” explains Sesay. Whether you’re unwinding in Bali or enjoying cocktails on the most stunning beaches in the world, it’s essential to indulge in the luxurious aspects of travel: sumptuous cocktails, exquisite multi-course meals, and leisurely spa afternoons. Although stepping away from your responsibilities can be challenging, Jupiter's presence in Taurus during the first half of the year will create an atmosphere conducive to a genuine getaway, possibly shared with a partner or someone dear to you.

Ideal travel dates

During Taurus season after Mercury Retrograde concludes, from April 25 to May 20.

Aquarius

January 20–February 18

As Sesay pointed out, Pluto will transition into Aquarius at the start of the year, where it will remain for the next 20 years. This indicates that Aquarians can anticipate a significant transformation in their lives throughout 2024. It’s an ideal time to embark on a life-changing journey that could offer valuable insights about yourself, perhaps even on your own. We suggest considering a mushroom retreat!

Optimal travel dates

When the sun is in Libra, from September 23 to October 22.

Pisces

February 19–March 20

For Pisces, 2024 is focused on local adventures, particularly while Jupiter remains in Taurus (until May 24, 2024). Whether you aim to boost your savings or adhere to a budget, Sesay foresees a significant emphasis on your financial situation. This will encourage you to discover your own city and nearby destinations through staycations. If you do venture out, it’s likely to be an enriching experience, making a wellness retreat a fitting choice.

Optimal travel dates

If you're planning to travel internationally in 2024, the best time will be during Scorpio season, from October 23 to November 21, when the sun highlights travel opportunities in your life.

Aries

March 21–April 19

For Aries, 2024 is set to be a year of financial security with Jupiter positioned in Taurus (until May 24, 2024). Sesay foresees that many Aries will feel the urge to treat themselves to travel, particularly in the first half of the year, favoring “serene, oasis-like escapes, where they can immerse themselves in beauty, reconnect with nature, and distance themselves from past financial struggles.” As the year progresses, expect to embrace thrilling experiences with adventure-packed trips, including skiing, snowboarding, and more.

Ideal travel dates

During Sagittarius season from November 22 to December 21.

Taurus

April 20–May 20

With Jupiter influencing their sign in the first half of the year, Taureans can look forward to significant personal growth and self-discovery. To harness this energy, Sesay suggests a wellness retreat or a trip to a new country where you can connect with your inner self. Being the sign of indulgence, you’ll also want to savor food, beauty, and nature during your travels. “Taurus has recently navigated a tough eclipse cycle over the past year and a half, so the first half of this year will be an opportunity for them to truly focus on self-care,” she explains.

Optimal travel dates

During Taurus season after Mercury Retrograde concludes, from April 25 to May 20.

Gemini

May 21–June 20

With Jupiter entering Gemini in the latter half of the year (starting May 25, 2024), you may feel a powerful desire to travel and embark on transformative journeys. You’ll likely be attracted to challenging destinations throughout 2024 or you might wish to make a difference while traveling.

Optimal travel dates

During Gemini season, when both the sun and Jupiter align in your sign. Just keep in mind Sesay’s advice about staying organized with your travel plans and documents.

Cancer

June 21–July 22

As expected, Cancers will likely find themselves near the ocean and other expansive waters throughout 2024. If you've felt a disconnect from the sea, this year will be about returning to your natural habitat. It's a perfect time to plan a Caribbean escape or embark on a lengthy cruise. Anticipate a vibrant social life during your travels, especially during Taurus season. You'll forge strong bonds with both new and old friends, and there might even be a chance encounter with a romantic interest along the way.

Optimal travel dates

Traveling during Taurus season in May (from May 1 to May 20) promises to be highly social.

Leo

July 23–August 22

Leos thrive on adventure, so this year you’ll want to focus on active travel, particularly in outdoor settings. Engaging in pursuits like hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, and skiing will help you connect with both nature and your inner self. Sesay also encourages you to consider solo travel: “Embark on some journeys alone to truly discover and understand yourself on a deeper level.”

Ideal travel dates

Harness the spirit of adventurous travel during Aries season, from March 21 to April 19.

Virgo

August 23–September 22

Break away from your usual routine and revamp your travel plans in 2024, Virgo. This year is set to bring transformative travel experiences. This could mean exploring a new country for the first time, sampling different cuisines, or fully disconnecting from work. “This year, they’re really going to feel like saying, ‘You know what? I want to treat myself, take some time off work, and have fun,’” explains Sesay.

Ideal travel dates

During Taurus season from April 20 to May 20.

Libra

September 23–October 22

2024 is all about urban adventures for you, Libra. With your naturally sociable nature, you’ll feel a strong desire to expand your social circle beyond your usual connections this year. Whether it’s discovering the streets of New York, London, or Paris, be sure to visit a city that’s new to you before the year wraps up.

Ideal travel dates

Embrace your sociable side during Gemini season from May 21 to June 20.

Scorpio

October 23–November 21

For Scorpios, planning a romantic escape in the first half of the year could be a delightful idea. “Some of you might travel with a partner and enjoy some romance. There could even be a proposal during one of those trips. Of course, it all depends on your astrological chart,” notes Sesay. To enhance your romantic getaway, consider booking a stay at an adults-only resort or a chic all-inclusive destination.
