Happy Lunar New Year! 2025 is the Chinese Lunar Year of the Snake—specifically, the Wood Snake. Like any new year, this is a time for new beginnings and endless opportunities.
The Wood Snake brings special news for everyone, based on both your personal zodiac sign and the overall meaning of the Snake. Wood, as one of the five Taoist elements, typically symbolizes growth. Since the Snake is a Yin animal, this means a Yin Wood year, symbolized by bamboo. Bamboo is, most importantly, flexible, meaning this is a year to be more open to new experiences.
The Snake is a symbol of wisdom and introspection. According to astrologer Susan Levitt, the Year of the Snake is a time to shed old skin, just as a snake would. This can be a sign to embrace minimalism. A Snake year is also a time to welcome spirituality and a sense of creativity or art.
“Frequency expert” and TikTok creator David Wong shared his predictions for each zodiac sign for the Chinese Year of the Snake. His insights are invaluable as we approach this Lunar New Year.
Rat
For the Rat, the Lunar New Year will be “stable and manageable,” according to Wong. This means those with the Rat sign can expect a year that won’t rock the boat—in a good way.
“Focus on making small but smart career changes,” Wong added. “No need to rush.”
This year is all about “balance” for those with a Rat sign. You can expect a reliable and secure year that gives you time to make subtle adjustments to become happier.
Ox
This will be a great Lunar New Year for you, Ox. As Wong said, it’s “your year to shine.” It will be a particularly strong year for professional matters.
“Hard work will pay off, especially in your career and finances,” he shared.
While hard work is important this year, it’s also essential to take time for yourself. For some, the most exciting aspect of this year will be the possibility of a relationship.
“If you’re single, love is in the air,” Wong said.
Tiger
Tigers will find that the 2025 Lunar New Year is a bit “slow,” but that’s okay. It’s an opportunity for you to practice patience, which Wong called your “secret weapon” for the year.
Like Yin Wood, flexibility will be essential for a Tiger this year, especially at work. Avoiding any decisions that seem risky is also advised in relationships.
“Practice understanding that everyone moves at their own pace,” Wong suggested.
Rabbit
The 2025 Lunar New Year will be quite peaceful for Rabbits.
“You will enjoy a calm and stable year,” Wong said, though that doesn’t mean you should just sit back. “Focus on what truly matters and use this time to recharge,” Wong advised. “Both your career and relationships will feel stable and balanced.”
Dragon
For Dragons, the 2025 Lunar New Year presents some major opportunities.
“This is your time to make big moves, but plan carefully,” Wong stated. “Strategy is key to success this year, both in career and personal goals,” he continued. “Relationships will require effort but can grow stronger.”
Snake
It’s the Year of the Snake, so it will be a big year for you if the Snake is your zodiac sign. The 2025 Lunar New Year is about strength and growth for Snakes.
“Build stronger connections and focus on personal growth,” Wong said, warning against overthinking and seeking perfection while praising the ability to trust instincts. “Be strategic in your career and don’t overanalyze things,” he explained. “Sometimes, instincts are enough.”
Horse
In the 2025 Lunar New Year, if you are a Horse, you will need to be cautious.
“Use your energy wisely this year,” Wong advised.
It’s also important to keep your focus on what truly matters. Wong recommended choosing just one or two major goals for the year.
“Avoid conflicts in relationships and add some structure to your career to stay on track,” he concluded.
Goat
If you are a Goat, you can breathe easy as you enter the 2025 Lunar New Year. Wong said it will be “smooth and stable”—embrace this energy in your life.
“Focus on creativity and harmony,” he said. “Your relationships will be supportive, and your career will progress steadily.”
That doesn’t mean the year will be perfect. Wong noted that some “setbacks” may arise, but they will be “minor.”
Monkey
The Monkey’s energy may clash with that of the Snake, so it will be important to “tone things down a bit,” as Wong advised, in the 2025 Lunar New Year.
“The Snake’s energy favors focus and strategy, so avoid being impulsive,” he added. This will require some planning and preparation, but it will all be worth it. “Plan your career moves carefully and be genuine in relationships,” he said.
Rooster
The 2025 Lunar New Year will be a time of rewards for Roosters, with some caveats.
“Your hard work will pay off, but don’t let perfectionism hold you back,” Wong stated. Flexibility will be essential. “Relationships will improve if you listen more and talk less,” he continued.
Dog
For Dogs, the 2025 Lunar New Year will be very much about loyalty and trust.
“This is your year to focus on strengthening bonds with the people who matter most in your career,” Wong said.
If you are a Dog, you will also find that it’s important to balance teamwork with self-care.
“Teamwork will take you further, and don’t neglect self-care,” he added.
Pig
The 2025 Lunar New Year will be a time to think outside the box for Pigs.
“You may be pushed out of your comfort zone this year, but it’s for the better,” Wong pointed out. Changes will likely come, but if you’re ready for them, they won’t shake you too much. “Be open to learning and adapting in your career, and strive to deepen relationships,” he said.
