The Eastern horoscope is so subtly integrated into our lives that we often do not realize it. Each year is declared the year of a certain animal. And not just any animal, but always of some color and quality.
The Chinese horoscope is based not only on the twelve animal symbols, but also on the five elements. Each element has a corresponding color. The ratio of the animal symbol and the element determines what the coming year will be like. Therefore, the nature of the influence and the prediction will only apply to a specific year. For example, 2025 is the year of the Green Wooden Snake. In general, the New Year is always considered lucky for many areas of life. But certain features will be inherent only to 2025.
If a person was born at the end of January or in February, then his belonging to the symbol of the previous year.
Characteristics of the Year of the Snake 2024
The full cycle of the Eastern calendar is not twelve, but sixty years. Almost a whole human life! This is symbolic, since each year of life is rarely exactly the same as the previous ones.
The Chinese New Year does not fall according to the Gregorian calendar. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, it is calculated according to the lunar calendar, and falls between the twentieth of January and the twentieth of February.
The color assigned to the symbol of the year characterizes the element to which a specific period (year) belongs. For example, the year of the Green Snake indicates the element of Wood in Chinese astrology.
By the way, the five elements are water, earth, fire, wood and metal. Each element has its own qualities and imparts them to those who are under their influence. For example, water is mobile and flexible. It imparts creativity and sociability to people. Earth gives prudence and reliability, as well as practicality. Fire is ingenuity and determination. Wood gives compassion, virtue and self-confidence. And metal is strength and individualism.
Water corresponds to black, earth to yellow or ocher, fire to red, wood to green (blue-green, since in China these colors are not shades of the same spectrum) and metal to white.
Animals exert the greatest influence in their season. For the Snake, this time will be spring. Therefore, this period will be the most favorable for the implementation of conceived plans. It is believed that people born in this year are endowed with outstanding abilities and innovative ideas.
The Year of the Snake according to the Chinese calendar is considered the most successful of all.
According to the Chinese calendar, the Dragon is the fifth symbol. At the same time, it is also the only mystical creature among the signs of the calendar. It combines the harmony of Heaven and Earth. The Chinese Dragon is different from the European one, it does not have wings, but it can fly. It has small horns like a red deer, eyes like a demon, tiger paws with eagle claws and iridescent scales like a carp.
The Snake symbol has many meanings and is the most powerful creature. It represents strength, power and wisdom. And also power, luck, fearlessness, self-confidence.
The Dragon is the Cosmic Breath that infuses Life Force into all living and inanimate things. He plays with a fireball, in the center of which is a pearl, Life, the purest energy in the Universe. (picture – dragons with a ball)
The Dragon also gives leadership ambitions, foresight. But this animal also has negative sides. He is hot-tempered, can easily cross the line and react too aggressively if his pride is hurt. He is characterized by arrogance and rejection of criticism.
The coming year is the year of the Green Wooden Snake, so the elements and color also have an influence on the energy of time and space.
The tree symbolizes growth, development, reliability, faith, tranquility.
Green color means prosperity, new life, flexibility, positivity, but it can also mean troubles in the family.
Power, positive experiences and energy.
Adding up all the manifestations of the Green Wooden Snake, we get the kindest and most patient of all Dragons. He also embodies the masculine principle of Yang, a strong will. Spreads the energy of kindness, sociability, diplomacy. His sharp mind and sensitive intuition help him find the best way out of any situation. At the same time, his endless curiosity pushes him to incessant development and striving forward.
Astrologers say that this year will bring good luck and prosperity. Especially in matters related to self-development, the search for new knowledge and broadening one's horizons. The Green Wooden Snake will help those who improve their spiritual qualities, learn to control their emotions, learn the lessons of their past mistakes. In general, those who try not to stand still and take the path of knowing themselves and the world around them.

However, you should not break away from the Earth and make impulsive decisions. Astrologers recommend keeping your "finger on the pulse", as the Green Wooden Snake is touchy. He is stubborn and too sensitive when his pride is hurt. At the same time, his faith in his own strength fades, optimism evaporates. If we draw an analogy with events in life, then we can understand it this way: you should not take criticism, failures and attacks of enemies to heart. It is necessary to maintain an optimistic outlook on life and faith in yourself.
