The Snake, the 6th animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, is a symbol of wisdom, intuition, and strategic growth.
As we leave 2024 behind, we reflect on how we’ve shed old beliefs that no longer serve us. Moving into 2025, we step forward with youthful energy, brimming with life and fresh ideas. The Snake invites us to expand our intellect and "shed our skin," encouraging patience as we pursue our goals. This year is rich with transformative energy, offering opportunities to harmonise our Qi and embrace love.
2025 marks the Year of the Yin Green Snake — a time for transformation, growth, and introspection. This is a year of immense power and wisdom, enabling us to navigate newfound awareness. By aligning with nature, we can draw on its healing essence and celebrate life in its fullness.
In Chinese cosmology, each year is shaped by three elements: one of the 12 zodiac animals, one of the five elements, and either Yin or Yang. Together, these aspects provide a framework for understanding the year’s energies and guiding personal choices. Let’s explore how each influences 2025.
Snake
The Snake, a Yin-natured animal, is known for its stillness and ability to strike swiftly when necessary. Tenacious and strategic, the Snake urges us to seek what we desire and work diligently toward it. This year, a well-thought-out strategy is key, supported by the Snake’s inherent patience and wisdom.
Snakes move close to the earth, picking up subtle vibrations, which makes them grounded and analytical. Their ability to shed their skin symbolises growth and letting go of the past. The Snake’s mystical qualities inspire us to deepen our intuition, while its fiery nature encourages us to find balance and avoid being consumed by a hunger for excitement.
On the other hand, the Snake’s tendency toward stillness may lead to moments of listlessness, so staying focused is essential. Harness the Snake’s intelligence to educate and inspire both yourself and others.
Wood
Wood represents action and growth, making 2025 an ideal year for pursuing creative projects and long-term goals. Wood fuels fire, symbolising energy and passion, but this can also lead to intense emotions. With Wood connected to heavenly energy, this year offers opportunities for spiritual awakening and heightened consciousness.
The transformative energy of Wood brings change and new beginnings, urging us to embrace the shifts with flexibility and focus.
Yin
Yin energy, characterised by quiet, rest, and contemplation, provides balance to the dynamic momentum of the Snake and Wood. While the year’s energy may bring intensity, Yin’s grounding influence helps us maintain stability, patience, and reflection.
Conclusion
2025 invites us to step into maturity, take responsibility, and pursue our goals with clarity and intention. Like the Snake, we embody the energy of young adulthood—powerful, vibrant, and full of potential.
By embracing the year’s strengths, we can expand our knowledge, connect with our inner and outer worlds, and harmonise with the human family. With warmth and openness, we can navigate 2025 with wisdom and achieve our goals, celebrating life along the way.
