Welcome to the Year of the Snake – January 29, 2025 through February 16, 2026
In Chinese/Vietnamese astrology, the Year of the Snake occurs every 12 years. The last snake year occurred in 2013 and the next one will be in 2037.
Snake years began in these years and ended the following year on the day before the first new moon that occurs between January 20th and February 21st:
1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013
This year, 2025, is known as the Year of the Blue Wood Snake because all universal years that end in 5 – regardless of zodiac sign – are associated with the wood element. As a result, wood will be a big theme in 2025.
The last time we had a Year of the Wood Snake was in 1965. And the last time we had a Year of the Wood Snake in an 9 universal year was in 1845!
In numerology, 9 universal year occurs when the numbers in a calendar YEAR add up to 9. For instance, 2025 is 2+0+2+5=9, which is associated with releasing, culmination, reflecting, and completion.
The overall theme for this Dragon year is: Control the Wheel!
