The January 2025 Monthly Horoscope Is Here For Each Chinese Zodiac Sign
What your Chinese zodiac sign can expect during the last month of the Year of the Dragon.
Photo: José Luis Photographer | Design: YourTango January 2025 monthly horoscopes for each Chinese zodiac sign are influenced by the I Ching hexagram Thunder over Earth (#16) changing to Earth over Wind (#46). It reminds us that life is not only about broad goals and distant dreams — life is meant to be lived in the moments and the small joys that mark each day.
In the last month of the Year of the Dragon, which ends on January 29, remember that the journey is more important than the destination. After all, isn't it great when we sometimes reach the destination without realizing it because we are focused on making the journey as amazing as possible?
