Lunar New Year 2025 Horoscope: What You Can Expect By Chinese Zodiac Sign

BY LISA STARDUST
JANUARY 29, 2025

Artists perform a dragon dance to welcome Chinese Lunar New Year. Two people hold up multicolored dragons on poles.

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. Be careful in what is disclosed to others; they may use secrets to their advantage. Trust the peeps who have proven themselves. 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:

Don't get me wrong, I find snakes fascinating... But given the transposition of something else coming back this year, well... it is good to read the traditional (and more positive, albeit suitably cautious) meaning behind the symbolism.
