The Year of the Snake – Intuitive and Mysterious

Happy New Year!  Welcome to the Year of the Snake.  Are you intelligent and analytical? Intuitive and mysterious?  How about calm and collected?  If so, you might be a snake.  The Lunar year starts today and continues for 15 days, ending with the Lantern Festival on February 12. 

In Chinese astrology, the snake is associated with wisdom, intuition, and transformation. Each Snake year is influenced by one of the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water). The Wood element influences the 2025 Snake, adding qualities like Creativity and Growth, diplomatic nature, and emotional depth.

The History

The Lunar New Year, celebrated by millions of people around the globe, is on a twelve-year cycle. While the Western solar calendar is based on the earth’s passage around the sun, lunar calendars set their timing on the different phases of the moon.  Each phase has its zodiac symbol, an animal, that returns around every twelve years.
