2025 is the Tibetan Year of the Wood Snake, blending the traits of the Snake with the element of Wood. The Snake is often linked to wisdom, intuition, and, mystery and recognized for its sharp intelligence and charm. When combined with the Wood element, these attributes are amplified by a sense of growth, creativity, and adaptability. This year is seen as a favorable time for personal growth, new beginnings, and creative endeavors, as the Wood element promotes expansion and renewal. However, the Snake's inherent caution suggests that careful planning and deliberate actions will be essential for success in 2025.
