2025 - Happy Lunar New Year - Year of the Snake

The Year of the Snake begins on January 29, 2025, at the Aquarius new moon, and we’ll be in the year of the Snake energy until Feb. 16, 2026.  This year brings 12 months of slow, steady transformation and a chance for renewal and growth. Known for its stealthiness and wisdom, the Snake wants you to move with purpose and precision. Relinquish what no longer serves you so you can evolve.

After leaving the fast-paced year of the dragon, and moving to the slower paced year of the Snake which is an earth sign known for its grounded, deliberate approach to life, don’t mistake this for a lack of action. A Snake year rewards those who think ahead, stay calm under pressure, and strike only when the timing is perfect. This is a time for strategy, planning, slow-paced steps and building from the ground up. 

Themes of Year of the snake include, strategy and tactics, intrigue and mystery, elevated tastes, wisdom, reflection, self-care and comfort, subtle movements that bring big results

The Year of the Snake’s Element Is Wood marks periods of accelerated growth.  Spring is the season associated with Wood, which makes 2025 (much like 2024’s Wood year) a time for renewal, change and rebirth.

The Wood element brings its own unique flavor to the Snake’s influence. Since Wood encourages growth, expansion, and renewal, visualize a vine winding its way up a trellis, gaining strength with every twist. This is a year to rise strategically, rather than rushing to the top.
