On January 29, 2025, the Year of the Yin Wood Snake begins, bringing a phase of deep introspection, wisdom, and transformation. As the sixth sign of the Chinese zodiac, the Snake is the earthly manifestation of the Dragon, responsible for solidifying the changes initiated in 2024.
The Snake symbolizes renewal, shedding its skin to leave the past behind and embrace a new balance. In 2025, we are encouraged to let go of burdens, rethink our values, and move forward with caution and clarity.
A Year of Reflection and Growth
If 2024’s Yang Wood energy was a year of dynamic action, 2025’s Yin Wood brings a slower, more thoughtful vibration. Yin Wood represents steady growth, like a vine stretching toward light in the shadows. This year urges us to nurture our foundations, deepen our connections, and bloom through introspection.
Additionally, Kundalini energy, linked to creativity, sexuality, and intuition, will be activated, encouraging a stronger connection with ourselves and our environment.
