The Year of the Snake—Intelligent and Clever! In 2025 we celebrate the Year of the Snake. According to tradition, people born during a Year of the Snake (1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013 and 2025) are said to exhibit that animal’s attributes. Snake people often enjoy new ideas, innovative thoughts and progress, but some will reject advice from anyone but themselves, though most snake people make great company and are loyal friends. The Snake is strongly associated with valuable wisdom, deep mysticism, and knowledge. Most snake people are enigmatic, deep thinking, and maybe the wisest of all Chinese Horoscope signs. Most snake people enjoy learning, reading, and partaking of good food. They can also be concerned about their physical appearance. Snakes' best attribute is their excellent ability to communicate with others and successfully engage in interesting conversations. For the Chinese people, the snake symbolizes intelligence, happiness and auspiciousness. In certain parts of China people call the snake the “dragon in heaven” or “celestial being”. At Dangfu in East China’s Anhui Province, people call the snake the “dragon at home”. The year 2025 is ruled by one of the most popular and auspicious of all the lunar zodiac signs, the clever Snake! The Snake personality is graceful and soft-spoken. It has a hypnotic beauty that never gives itself totally away. The mysterious Snake is a strategic planner that has everyone guessing its next move. It will keep plotting until it gets what it wants (and when it does, it is not likely to let go!). The Snake is a strong individual, typically destined for great success.
