FollowAs the world marks another turn of the calendar, the Chinese New Year is set to begin on January 29, 2025. Known as the "Year of the Wood Snake," this pivotal period is said to bring societal transformation, personal growth, and introspection. Let’s delve into what lies ahead and how the year might shape your destiny.
What is the Chinese New Year?
Also called the Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year is a cornerstone of Chinese culture, symbolizing familial reunions, fresh beginnings, and the celebration of ancient traditions. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, this festival follows the lunar calendar, commencing on the second new moon after the winter solstice. Typically falling between January 21 and February 20, the 2025 celebration begins on January 29 and spans 15 days of vibrant festivities.
The animal of the year: The Wood Snake
Each Chinese year aligns with one of 12 zodiac animals—Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig, Rat, Ox, Tiger, and Rabbit. These animals, combined with the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), form a 60-year cycle. In 2025, we step into the "Year of the Wood Snake," last seen in 1965.
The Snake, the sixth animal in the zodiac, represents intuition, strategy, and grace. Paired with the element of Wood, 2025 emphasizes adaptability, creativity, and long-term planning. This year is expected to favor personal and professional growth, with its essence fostering flexibility and harmony.
