On January 29, 2025, we say goodbye to the energetic Year of the Dragon and enter the Year of the Wood Snake. After all the ups and downs that the dragon has brought with it, we can now expect a somewhat quieter time.
The Year of the Wood Snake invites us to take a deep breath, make smarter decisions and approach things with more patience. In Chinese astrology, the snake represents wisdom, intuition and luck - qualities that help us master the year with focus and inner strength.
The element of wood also brings a dose of creativity and growth into play. A really good combination to break new ground in 2025 and develop further. What exactly does the wooden snake have in store for your zodiac sign? Read on and find out.
Do you know your Chinese zodiac sign? In Chinese astrology there are twelve signs of the zodiac: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. However, these are assigned to entire years, not individual months.
Rat (years of birth: 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020)
Things will be exciting for the Rat in 2025 because you will be asked to make full use of your adaptability. Whether at work or privately – opportunities come along where you should remain flexible. And don't worry: Even if everything goes haywire, you can always find a clever solution. Don't forget to give yourself a break every now and then. Balance is the magic word.
Buffalo (years of birth: 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021)
Dear Ox, the year of the Wood Snake is made for you: stable, down-to-earth and perfect for finally moving forward with long-cherished projects. Patience will be your best friend - don't rush yourself. And when things get difficult, remember that with your strength you can overcome anything.
Reading tips:
Tiger (birth years: 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022)
2025 will be exciting for the Tiger - just like you love it. New opportunities await you, and your passion will drive you forward. But be careful: not everything has to be tackled at full speed. The wooden snake invites you to pause now and then and let your intuition speak. This is how you make the best decisions.
Rabbit (years of birth: 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023)
Rabbits can look forward to a harmonious year in 2025. Everything runs a little smoother and you can enjoy the little things in life. Things will be nice, especially in friendships and relationships - perhaps even with a surprising new beginning. Financially, there could also be an opportunity that promises more stability.
Dragon (birth years: 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024)
After your big year in 2024, things will be a little quieter in 2025 - and that's a good thing. Use the time to focus on what is really important to you. Your creative side will help you implement new ideas. But don’t let perfectionism slow you down too much, sometimes “good enough” is just right.
Snake (years of birth: 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025)
Snakes, watch out: 2025 is your year! Finally you can really show off your wisdom and charm. Whether professional or private – your decisions will set the direction. But even the strongest snakes need a break sometimes. So always treat yourself to little moments just for yourself.
Horse (years of birth: 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014)
Horses start 2025 with fresh vigor. You will finally get rid of some old construction sites that make room for something new. That feels really good. When it comes to love, you could also be surprised if you show yourself a little more vulnerable.
Goat (years of birth: 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015)
Things are getting cozy for the goat. You feel emotionally balanced, and the people around you appreciate your warm, loving nature. Financially, now is the time to plan carefully and not take big risks - then everything will go like clockwork in 2025.
Monkey (years of birth: 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016)
For the monkey, 2025 is a year for introspection. Think about what is really important to you and don't let every new idea distract you, otherwise you will become frustrated. With your creativity you will easily overcome even the biggest challenges - you just have to keep at it.
Hahn (years of birth: 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017)
The rooster can also look forward to 2025! Your hard work is finally paying off and you're getting the recognition you deserve. Nevertheless: Don't forget to take care of yourself too. Breaks and self-care are not a luxury, but necessary so that you can continue to shine.
Also exciting:
Dog (years of birth: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018)
For dogs, 2025 brings exactly what you love: stability and harmony. Relationships are the priority, and you have the chance to deepen friendships or partnerships. Important: Don't take on too much at once. You also need time for yourself to keep your balance.
Pig (years of birth: 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019)
For the pig, 2025 will be a year full of possibilities. Dare to try new things and step out of your comfort zone. With your optimism you will inspire people and open new doors. The coming changes may intimidate you at first, but try to stay open to the fact that everything will work out in the end.
Something important at the end:Of course, every person is an individual and not everything astrology says is always true. So let's take it as a guide and guide, not as an incontrovertible truth. Ultimately, it is up to you what you make of star constellations, zodiac sign-typical character traits and predictions.
