The moon mirrors life’s transitions. Each lunar cycle has a beginning, a period of growth, culmination, and then finally the release. Starting with the New Moon being a time to reflect and plant seeds and intentions ending with the Full Moon celebrating all that has come to fruition and letting go of what is no longer needed. The Chinese base their calendar off the cycles of the Moon. The Lunar New Year falls on January 29th 2025 and this is the year of the Wood Snake. The Chinese Zodiac has a 12 year cycle, with 12 different animals or archetypes. Each animal has 4 different elements it can embody. 2025 is the year of the Wood Snake.

Snake Energy.

The Snake symbolizes transformation, intuition, and deep thinking. Known for its ability to shed its skin, the Snake teaches us about letting go of what no longer serves us to make way for growth. This year invites:

Renewal: Time to shed your skin and let go of thoughts and actions that no longer serve you.
Intuition: Trust your gut feelings and pay attention to subtle signs from the universe.
Strategic Action: Avoid impulsive decisions. Instead, plan your moves carefully, like a snake coiling before it strikes.

The Wood Element.

Wood represents growth, flexibility, and creativity. This element enhances the Snake’s wisdom, urging us to focus on personal and collective development. Themes of the Wood Snake include:

Grounded: The wood element is of the Earth, it is grounded and firm.
Harmony: Prioritize balance in relationships and your environment.
Long-Term Vision: Lay the groundwork for sustainable growth, both personally and professionally.

Themes for 2025

1. Transformation and Renewal

With the Snake shedding its skin, 2025 is a year to release old patterns, beliefs, and habits. Whether it’s a career shift, a new relationship, or personal healing, transformation will be a dominant theme.

2. Intuition and Inner Wisdom

The Snake thrives in the unseen. Trust your inner knowing and embrace practices like meditation, dream interpretation, and journaling to connect with your subconscious.

3. Growth and Creativity.

Wood encourages expansion and creative expression. Whether through art, problem-solving, or innovation, this is the year to lean into your creative potential.

4. Strategic Action.

Instead of rushing, the Snake and Wood combination urges us to move deliberately. Success in 2025 comes from careful planning and disciplined execution.

5. Connection to Nature.

Wood’s connection to the natural world encourages us to spend more time outdoors, care for the environment, and embrace sustainable living.

This is a year of possibility and reinvention. What will you shed? What will you grow? The answers lie in the cycles of the moon and the Snake’s quiet, strategic power. 🌙🐍
