Happy Chinese New Year!
The Year of the Yin Wood Snake begins January 29th, 2025. Wait…. before you cringe at the thought of a snake, keep in mind that, in Chinese lore, the snake is a stealth animal, and this new year promises strong yin energy.
Yin is the type of energy that endures, nourishes and supports growth. Yin also implies contraction and inward-facing activity, resulting in stillness rather than quick moves.
This is similar to a snake who can remain still for long periods of time before striking. It is a year to focus on gradual and sustainable growth rather than impulsive actions.
I’ve read different astrologers’ predictions for this coming year. They seem to agree that this Snake year is a time to reflect and grow. It’s a time to be both creative and flexible.
We can expect many changes which are likely be achieved in silence and in secret. It all indicates an interesting year – one in which we do well to cultivate patience, focus on the details, accept change, and pursue interior improvements.
Are You a Snake?
Does the description above sound like you? Snakes were born in 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013 and 2025. However, if you were born in January or February, double check your dates because the lunar calendar doesn’t quite correspond to the one we use.
Personality Traits of the Snake:
Natural charm: Snakes are social creatures and may seem nonchalant. However, they are deep thinkers and may conceal their emotions, guarding their true feelings.
Strategic planners: Snakes are skilled at making detailed plans, setting goals, and solving problems. Perfect skills for a new year!
Mysterious: Snakes lean heavily on their intuition. This makes them appear quiet, but there is usually more going on than they reveal. Snakes are also creatures who undergo a metamorphosis naturally shedding their skin, a quality that makes them mysterious.
The Snake’s lucky color is blue, and sapphire is their lucky element.
Happy Chinese New Year.
