What is the Year of the Snake?

The Chinese zodiac consists of a 12-year cycle, with each year associated with an animal sign. These signs are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each sign is believed to influence the personality traits, fortunes, and life paths of people born under that sign. In the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Snake comes once every 12 years and is considered the sixth sign in the cycle.

The Snake is often associated with wisdom, charm, and elegance but also with caution, secrecy, and introspection. It is a year that calls for strategic thinking, taking calculated risks, and being alert to opportunities and dangers. The snake’s energy is believed to foster growth, but only if individuals and entities carefully navigate potential pitfalls.
