Chinese New Year the year of the Wood snake

Chinese New Year the year of the Wood snake

The Snake is the sixth animal in the zodiac, and it has a complex and mysterious nature.

Each year holds different elements, which gives it a different essence and meaning. The Wood Snake is a charming, intelligent and creative sign, but also secretive, cunning and sometimes ruthless.

The year 2025 is recognized as the Year of the Blue Snake in the Chinese zodiac. Each year, one of the 12 zodiac animals is paired with an element from the Chinese Five Elements theory (wood, fire, earth, metal and water). For 2025, the associated element is wood, which is traditionally linked to the colour blue

The Snake year encourages protection, so create a safe space to work and live by practising good feng shui to feel safe and secure to enhance the year’s energy.

While the Year of the Snake will be less noisy than last year’s Dragon year, it will be no less deadly. The Snake is a double-edged creature, embodying both wisdom and danger. While it offers opportunities for growth and insight, it will require careful navigation to avoid its hidden perils.

The snake is also a symbol of wisdom, cunning, and adaptability. People born in the Year of the Snake are known for their intelligence, creativity, and resourcefulness. As the world navigates the complexities of 2025, these traits are expected to be in high demand.

Celebrations of Chinese New Year traditionally last for 16 days, starting from Chinese New Year's Eve.
