“If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.” ~ Confucius
Chinese New Year of the Wood Snake
January 29, 2025, Year of the Wood Snake invites us to explore themes of growth, transformation, and intuitive wisdom.
Snake Energy: Yin ~ Shakti. Transformation, Wisdom, Growth, Opportunities.
The element of Wood symbolizes growth, we can think of trees, plants, and seeds.
Paired with the Snake's yin energy, this year encourages inward reflection, slow and intentional progress, and a connection to the mysterious and feminine.
Yin energy is feminine, slow, intuitive, and transformative, embracing change with grace. Growth begins from within, making this a perfect time to focus on your internal world. Nourish your inner teacher and intuition, the silent guide that leads to authentic transformation.
Internal Growth and Physical Well-Being
To flourish externally, we must first ensure balance internally.
- Health: Are you experiencing digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, or stagnation? Reflect on your diet, movement, and overall physical well-being.
- Environment: Is your external space cluttered or disorganized? A messy environment can mirror internal chaos. Cleanse both your inner and outer worlds, as they are deeply interconnected.
As within, so without; as without, so within.
The Snake’s body is always attuned to its surroundings, relying on heightened senses of scent, sound, and vibration. This teaches us to embrace our own intuitive, silent, and wise feminine nature.
The Snake in Mythology
The Snake, often called the Serpent in mythology, appears across cultures as a symbol of mystery, transformation, and danger. Its presence is a reminder of change, shedding the old to make way for the new. A Snake crossing your path signifies incoming transformation and the importance of staying aware and grounded to avoid "getting bitten."
Kundalini Energy and the Divine Connection
The Snake is symbolic of Kundalini energy, coiled at the base of the spine. When awakened, this energy rises through the chakras, ultimately activating the third eye and connecting us to the Divine Source.
The Snake also holds associations with medicine, represented by the caduceus, and symbolizes eternity through the ouroboros—a snake eating its tail, forming a circle or infinity loop. This reminds us of the cyclical nature of beginnings and endings, constantly intertwined.
The Wood Snake in a 9 Year
We are also in a 9 year, which represents completion and endings. This energy perfectly aligns with the Snake’s transformative nature. Use this time to cleanse and release what no longer serves you—internally and externally. By clearing space now, you will be prepared to embrace the new beginnings of the 1 year in 2026.
Lessons from the Snake
The Snake teaches us to:
- Shed the old with ease and grace.
- Rely on silent, intuitive senses.
- Stay close to the ground, aware and attuned.
- Move with deliberation and wisdom.
Though the Snake may be feared for its quick strike, it does so only in self-defense or survival. When undisturbed, the Snake rests in quiet observation, embodying feminine power and grace.
Embrace the Transformation
Let the Snake be your guide in 2025. Trust its wisdom to help you shed old skins and transform from the inside out. Surrender to the process, release what no longer serves you, and prepare yourself to receive the abundance that awaits.
Love and Light,
