2025, the year of the Snake

On January 29 2025 we will say goodbye to the firefull Dragon year and enter the year of the sensual, smart and ancient Snake. It’s not literally an animal that we want to cuddle, but it sure has a lot of good traits and functions. It remains kind of reptilian, and earth and water are terrains where it feels comfortable. There will be less air as Snakes can’t fly like a Dragon.

Below we put some short indications of what the year might bring to you, according to our partner Terrible Kid. It will be an exciting year and the advise in general is to shed your skin if you want to grow.

Rat 

Rat years include 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 and 2020

The social and smart rats normally thrive well in a snake year. With them you have the dilemma: what existed first, the chicken or the egg? Like with the feathered friends, the rats might eat the snake egg, but the snake might eat the rat. 

Ox 

Ox years include 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 and 2021.

The slow but steady locomotion of the ox does not match perfectly with the sometimes sizzling movements of the snake. Snakes can be totally invisible, but the moves can go very fast if needed.

Tiger 

Tiger years include 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010 and 2022.

Is this a year to roar and show your teeth? I don’t think so. What do the snake and you, cat, have in common? You both have mythical power, are very sensual and sexy and are creatures that people like to show themselves off with. 

Rabbit 

Rabbit years include 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011 and 2023.

What’s up, doc? The rabbit can outsmart many animals like a pig, but the snake year is in a different league. The holes you made in the past years, where you can rest, back up and keep your nuts safe, will bring you much needed comfort this year. 

Dragon

Dragon years include 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012 and 2024.

You just had a wonderfully lucky year, big snake. Now we go to the little snake year. In short: stop breathing so much fire as it might burn the grasses where the snakes find their habitat. It will not be appreciated so much.

Snake 

Snake years include 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013 and 2025.

Finally it’s your year. If up to you, it will be filled with gracious beauty, mystery, exciting plot twists, wisdom and some rebirth acts. This wooden year gives you a stage to perform on, be seen and admired. Shake, rattle and roll, baby!

Horse

Horse years include 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002 and 2014.

The wooden snakes are standing center stage this year, but are you ready to start the race? Next year is your run, but some horses feel ready in 25. Ready to win some prizes. And indeed the stars are in your favor and the energy is high like yeehaw.

Goat

Goat years include 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015.

This year the snake is the g.o.a.t. So accept your place, you’re not gonna be the star this year. You best focus on climbing to the top of the mountain and analyze where to go next. 

Monkey 

Monkey years include 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004 and 2016.

Monkey and Snake are besties. True companions that keep each other’s lives always exciting and fun. You have a lot of luck, like last year. This year it will be more on the financial side of luck. 

Rooster

Rooster years include 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005 and 2017.

Wake up to the new year of the snake. And protect your eggs. Perhaps divide them over different baskets. The snake is quite a nice friend for you as you both love to show your elegance and beauty. You also share the type of flying you can do.

Dog

Dog years include 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 and 2018.

Last year was not easy for the dogs. You were stray, lost a job or just couldn’t find the gigs that you needed. The snake year will bring you a new start. A new boss, a new home, a new diet. The snake sheds its skin so a new one appears so it can grow again into the next phase of its life.

Pig

Pig years include 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 and 2019.

The snake is 180 degrees aways from you. You both have features that others don’t have. Where you match best is with your intelligence. We can say that the pig will have a good run if he gets help from friends and family that have shown to be reliable.
