2025 Year of the Snake... What Will It Bring?!

2025 is the Year of the Snake, the Year of the Wood Snake to be more precise. So what does it mean? Each of the twelve animals in the Chinese Zodiac has unique characteristics and each year corresponds to one animal. 2025 corresponds to the Snake.

In addition to the twelve year cycle corresponding to each of the animals in the Chinese Zodiac, there are Five Elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) which are associated with their own "life force" or "chi".

This energy blends with the corresponding animal, to determine that year's fortune. In 2025, the corresponding element is Wood.

The Snake has been a symbol of determination and persistence. The Snake is blessed with extraordinary inner strength and is considered one of the most perceptive and intense animals in the Chinese Zodiac.

Wood by its very nature, is the element associated with all living things, the "spring" or life renewal process.

These characteristics of Wood combined with the Snake's determination and tenacity could mean a strong Snake offering plenty of opportunities for growth and success, an even more powerful and determined snake, making for a very auspicious year and one to be embraced and certainly not to be underestimated, a year of revitalization and abundance.

So a Year of the Wood Snake heralds a year of resilience which will require discipline to achieve your goals but when combined with the evergreen and renewal characteristics of Wood, we will certainly have the wind on our backs for limitless potential and opportunities for growth.

Wood relates to trees which relate to the color green. The Year of the Wood Snake is therefore also known as the Year of the Green Snake.
