As we say goodbye to the legendary Dragon, the world eagerly embraces the Year of the Snake on January 29—the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Wishing you a happy Lunar New Year!
Alongside indulging in fortunate foods and engaging in activities that boost luck, numerous individuals look to the stars for insights into what the upcoming months may hold.
Let’s start with the basics.
The Chinese zodiac calendar unfolds over a captivating 12-year cycle, each year marked by a unique animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
Your zodiac animal is based on your birth year, so anyone born on or after the first day of the lunar calendar in 2025 will be classified under the Snake sign.
However, this is just the start. For devoted adherents of the system, a year transcends mere classification by its animal. A fascinating sexagenary cycle consists of 10 heavenly stems paired with 12 earthly branches.
Be observant and patient in the chaos.
Annually, a heavenly stem, representing one of the five elements and categorized as either yin or yang, is matched with a terrestrial branch, which corresponds to one of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals.
This year features the heavenly stem “Yi,” symbolizing Yin Wood, alongside the earthly branch “Si,” which signifies the Snake. 2025 is set to be the Year of the Wood Snake.
What significance does that hold for the upcoming months?
In 2024, the Year of the Yang Wood Dragon marked a period of transformation and renewal for countless individuals.
The year 2025 is set to bring significant changes. The Snake, characterized by a powerful fire element complemented by metal and earth influences, is a zodiac sign known for its potential to ignite notable clashes and conflicts. As we approach the Snake Year, it’s essential to stay vigilant about potential accidents. The global atmosphere is poised to shift towards a touch more chaos.
However, it’s unnecessary to adopt an excessively bleak outlook.
We always have the option to view it in a positive light.
Snakes possess a keenly observant nature. The Yin Wood Snake resembles a small green serpent, not a formidable cobra, adept at keen observation before executing a precise and timely strike.
Industries connected to the wood element, including healthcare and paper, stand to gain from this cycle.
How about travel?
This year, the fortune star shines brightly in the east, inviting travelers to discover exciting destinations in that direction, whether locally or internationally.
The ‘Grand Duke of Jupiter’ reigns supreme over your luck.
According to enthusiasts of the Chinese zodiac, the fortune of each animal is influenced by the positions of the Tai Sui—the celestial deities that move in a parallel yet opposite direction to Jupiter.
This year, if your zodiac sign is not in alignment with Tai Sui—the Grand Duke of Jupiter—you may encounter an increase in disruptions and changes in your life.
For every yang, there’s inevitably a yin as well. Stay calm and keep an eye on the changes around you; it will support your efforts moving forward.
To settle disputes, devotees often visit a Chinese temple to present offerings to the representations of Tai Sui.
Visiting such a place can spark positive thoughts without causing any harm. Those born in the Year of the Ox, Tiger, Snake, Monkey, Rooster, and Pig are especially encouraged to seek some extra blessings this year.
