What to expect in the Year of the Snake: a visual guide
The year of the wood snake
There are 12 zodiac signs in Chinese astrology, each possessing a unique set of qualities. Each year, an animal is paired with one of the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. These elements complement and conflict with each other, but it is this ongoing interaction that is believed to promote harmony, balance, and order in the natural world.
The unique qualities of a zodiac sign are often used to describe the personality traits of people born in that year. The Wood Snake is a charming, intelligent and creative sign, but also secretive, cunning and sometimes ruthless.
What kind of snake are each year?
Since each elemental animal follows a 60-year cycle, the last Wood Snake year was 1965. In 2025, we welcome the Year of the Wood Snake. It is also known as the Year of the Green Snake because according to the Chinese Five Elements theory, wood is associated with green.
What is the rule of the five elements?
Ancient Chinese believe that everything in the universe is composed of five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. These five elements have a mutually reinforcing and interfering relationship.
