Good morning readers! So, last week you read my Chinese Zodiac animal dilemma that pivoted into talking about the tradition OF the Chinese New year. But I’m swaying back to talk about the zodiac animal for this year, the snake. Let’s brew about it.
The Year of the Snake is a prominent symbol of intelligence, charm, and intrigue. The snake, which is the sixth animal in the Chinese lunar calendar’s 12-year cycle, is linked to the virtues of discretion, sophistication, and wisdom. People born under this sign are believed to have a special combination of charm, intuition, and calm resolve, and their life path is frequently characterized by a compelling presence and a strong sense of purpose ( none of which I have, I’m born in the year of the tiger).
Each of the 12 animals—the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig—represents a year in the Chinese zodiac. In addition to being associated with a specific year, each animal is paired with one of the five elements—Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, or Wood—to form a cycle of 60 years. This year it is the element of wood. Snakes with the wood element will have strong traits for growth and creativity.
Generally those born under the year of the Snake are perceptive, charming, seductive, mysterious, and resilient(I feel like the snake has all the good attributes, tigers are known to be big headed.)The year of the Snake is a time to consider the traits of this amazing creature, such as its intelligence, tenacity, and grace. This is a time for people born under this sign to embrace their innate abilities and work patiently and persistently toward their objectives.
Those born in the year of the Snake are urged to capitalize on the snake’s poised assurance, cunning, and alluring charm. It serves as a reminder that great things frequently come from quiet, deliberate effort—and that there is power in being able to shed one’s old skin. Let’s be like the snake and rid ourselves of old things we don’t need ( objects or negative habits).
As Always Keep On Brewin!
