2021 Travel Fortune Predictions
2021 will be a promising year for the Rat. Entering into a year of “He Tai Sui” (meaning the union with Tai Sui, the grand commander of the Chinese zodiac), this sign will experience a prosperous year and receive assistance from benefactors, helping them to succeed in different aspects. The Rat will also be looked after by the auspicious Wen Chang star (the Intellectual star).
Best Travel Consideration According to the Five Elements – Water
Water governs the sign of the Rat. It is recommended that you take relaxing trips this year, such as going on a cruise or visiting historical places – the older, the better. Visiting historical significance places can help promote your luck and focus, allowing you to pay more attention to matters more precisely and thoroughly while helping you improve your work relationships and inspire you to shape your plans.
Best Travel Companions – Ox
Your best travel companion is the Ox. As the Ox is your Secret Friend, it is more likely for the two of you to strengthen your friendship through travel than to run into arguments when travelling. You may also consider travelling with the Monkey and the Dragon. Although the Monkey tends to be quick-tempered and the Dragon tends to be manipulative, your easy-going personality makes you compatible with them. You may also get some new inspiration when travelling with them.
