The Year of the Wood Snake begins on January 29, the first day of Lunar New Year 2025. The holiday coincides with the first New Moon of 2025, (the lunation occurs in the sign Aquarius), and brings dreams into play.
The Wood Snake encourages us to foster ideas and to be flexible. Change is upon us as we shed the past and slither into the present by utilizing our charm to our advantage.

Most importantly, don't jump into anything before you look and make careful decisions.
February 12 marks the end of the New Year celebration. The Lantern Festival occurs during the Full Moon in Leo, inviting hope, TLC, and forgiveness as 2025 begins. What does the Lunar New Year bring for your Chinese zodiac sign? Read on to find out:
Lunar New Year 2025 Horoscope:
Rat
Birth years: 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
This year, everything's coming up roses for you! Since you're always on your toes, ready to make a move, you will be able to make important decisions on a whim. Words of advice: Take a beat to make sure that the choices you make in the moment align with your future plans.
Ox
Birth years: 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
No one knows more than you that slow and steady wins the race. Your patience and diligence will pay off if you keep your eye on the prize and don't allow distractions to get in the way. Avoid participating in drama if you can because it’ll be an unnecessary distraction.
Tiger
Birth years: 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
A few roadblocks might prevent you from attaining several of your goals in the months ahead. Don’t let the negative sentiments bring you down. Knowing that you can break down the walls standing in your way with the power of positive thinking is vital. FYI: Success requires a mind-over-matter approach.
Rabbit
Birth years: 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Abundance is yours! You’ll be prosperous and happy as long as you manage your money correctly and save some pennies for a rainy day. Having a lush bank account full of cash can lead to security and confidence. Budgets and sales are your friends, so you should partake in both.
Dragon
Birth years: 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Home is where your heart is, dear Dragon. You’re focusing on connecting with family matters, encouraging you to get closer to your brood. Rather than go out with your crew to a movie, you’ll opt to hang with your siblings or parents to forge a bond that strengthens the foundation.
Snake
Birth years: 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
You’ll be able to identify members of your squad that ride hard for you and elevate the relationships. Since you require 100% loyalty and sincerity from others, you will give the peeps who have let you down the cold shoulder. Those who are sending the evil eye are jealous haters.
Horse
Birth years: 1990, 2002, 2014
Your rizz and pleasant demeanor is going to make a splash on the social scene in 2025, helping you to become popular — beyond the scope of Glinda from Wicked. You will captivate the hearts of your peers and classmates through your kindness and the do-good activities that consume your schedule.
Goat or Sheep
Birth years: 1991, 2003, 2015
If you've struggled in the past, you will be grateful that this year has brought you good vibes. Instead of worrying and hyperventilating about situations and relationships, you'll find that everything in your life is coming together smoothly. It'll be a relaxing time to count your amazingness. Be the G.O.A.T.!
Monkey
Birth years: 1992, 2004, 2016
Your mind is thirsty for new and exciting ventures. What you’re looking for is right in front of you. Taking on an interesting topic at school enhances your cleverness and intellect. Make sure you tackle many subjects that perk your thoughts to have a well-rounded education and advance your knowledge.
Rooster
Birth years: 1993, 2005, 2017
Taking risks and stepping out of your comfort zone takes you to the next level. You can reward your efforts with a lovely treat (like a spa day or a wonderful vacation). Bringing the bling and swag to your besties will make you feel like the baller you are. Cock-a-doodle-do!
Dog
Birth years: 1994, 2006, 2018
Slightly letting go of the reins allows you to prosper. Knowing that you cannot control every single situation and outcome is the best way to be because you'll learn that you should be more open-minded about matters and not so attached. As a result, you will have peace of mind.
Pig
Birth years: 1995, 2007, 2019
When people project their issues onto you, take a moment to process the information before firing back. You won't allow their problems to weigh heavily on your self-esteem, and you’ll be able to flourish knowing that you're not a part of the theatrics—except for being a shoulder to lean on.
