Understanding the Year of the Wood Snake

Snake years occur every 12 years in the Chinese zodiac calendar. Recent Snake years include: 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025, and 2037.

Whether you were born in a Snake year or not, 2025 allows everyone to tap into the Wood Snake's wisdom and transformative energy. It's a year to shed old patterns, embrace change, and move forward with purpose and insight.

Remember, in Chinese tradition, the Snake is far from the negative connotations it might carry in other cultures. Instead, it represents intelligence, grace, and the ability to navigate life's challenges with wisdom and elegance.

As we embrace this Year of the Wood Snake, may we all channel its qualities of wisdom, transformation, and strategic growth in our personal and professional endeavors.
