The snake is a symbol of wisdom, elegance and self-reflection. This is why this sign brings a special energy, which is also amplified by the wood element, which promotes growth, evolution, and new beginnings.
According to Chinese tradition, the new year begins on the second new moon after the winter solstice, which means that the year of the Snake will begin on 29 January 2025, and will last until 16 February 2026.
In the Chinese horoscope, the Snake is associated with clairvoyance, intelligence, and the ability to quickly solve complex problems. People born in the year of the Snake are often considered wise, diplomatic, and intuitive.
When the wood element joins this sign, their combined energy becomes even more powerful, bringing creativity, increased attention to detail, and the opportunity for personal growth. At the same time, Wood softens the Snake’s sometimes harsh nature, encouraging cooperation and peaceful conflict resolution, making us more patient and diplomatic.
During the year 2025, many will feel encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and explore new areas, finding their true calling. At the same time, some may face challenging situations that force them to make important decisions, reevaluate their relationships, or change their plans for the future.
