Year of the Snake – 2025

 

Year of the Snake – 2025

 

2025 is the Chinese Green Wood Snake Year. Snakes and Dragons are looking at another fantastic year as we enter Snake Year 4 February 2025. Snake Year follows Dragon Year and they are in mutual resonance with #1 compatibility.

 

Snakes, to use Plato’s term, will be “attacked by Fortune.” Those born in Years compatible with Snake will have very good or great years also. These are the signs whose compatibility is 1 or 2 below – Ox, Dragon, Rooster, and Rabbit.

 

Snake Year will be trying for Pigs, Snake’s opposite. Pigs need to tighten their seatbelts! [1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019]

 

AND everyone should keep in the back of their minds that 2026 will a Fire Horse Year, as highlighted in[C1]  red below.

 

Snakes are Money Maniacs

That’s the term my Dragon Japanese girlfriend used about them, and it could be applied to the Snake’s compatible signs Rooster and Ox also.   She also used to say wherever there is a lot of money look around for a snake person.

Snakes are mesmerizing – alluring, seductive! Careful you do not become immobile. Snakes can bite!
Snakes are quiet, very afraid of being emotionally vulnerable.

I’ve never been involved with any Snake people as the 1941’s were too old for me and the 1953s I never hit it off with mostly due to my seeming lack of money even where there have been other compatibilities. Snakes hold out for, and sacrifice themselves for, the money.  

I did meet up with a 1953 Snake Oriental Doctor a few years ago.  We had a lot in common especially sports activities AND she had some planets in Virgo on mine but she was stuck on the money, particularly my seeming lack of it. She thought I was too old also even though I offered to take her to Mt. Everest where her first husband had died after summitting.

The Chinese animal year begins each Western year about 4 February - it does not begin at the Chinese New Year. So, if you were born before 4 February in any year your Chinese animal year is the sign before. Those born 4 or 5 February should consult the link http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/NewYearDays.htm

 

The first day of the animal year is different from the Chinese New Year Day. The animal year starts on the first day of the Tiger month. Tiger month begins from the day when Sun enters ecliptic 315-degree position, which is around February 4 Gregorian calendar. That means the animal month is solar month, not lunar month. This is why many people who are born in January or February are confused about their animal sign of birth year.

The New Moon on January 29, 2025, 5:37 AM Arizona time marks the start of the Lunar Year followed by most of the world’s population. Remember Tet in 1968?

Snakes to watch

 

 

1941 Snakes are turning 84.

Bob Dylan –

 

One particularly interesting set of 1941 Snakes is those born around 6 May thru 8 May 1941 as they have SIX planets in Taurus – Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus – and Mars squaring Uranus from Aquarius. The few I have known have ALL had huge fights over money causing Supreme Court cases, arrest and imprisonment, and family dissolutions.

 

I introduced one friend of mine born 8 May 1941 to a nice woman, albeit with problems I did not know about. Unbeknownst to me my friend was still on probation for a felony for threatening his ex-wife’s lawyer during their contentious divorce. The new girlfriend gets pissed at my friend and calls up the cops who come and search thru the garage of the condo my friend rented, finding a knife of the landlord. They put my friend of 8 May 1941 in jail for probation violation. My friend gets his brother to get money out of his numbered Swiss bank account to pay a lawyer to spring him. I take the bus to Santa Ana to the Orange County [CA] jail and apologize to my friend for introducing him the woman. My friend gets sprung from jail and all seems well. A month later I take a long bike ride to Cook’s Corners, the motorcycle place in Trabuco Canyon. There’s my friend and THAT WOMAN [Helena Rubenstein’s term for Charles Revson was THAT MAN] sitting around having ridden up on my friend’s Harley. A week later he’s BACK IN JAIL. The woman refused to give my friend back the 5-ct. diamond engagement ring!

 

I pretty much avoided my friend after that except he came to me and wanted me to guide him on a trip-of-a-lifetime to get away from it all and recover. I laid out an adventurous but safely do-able itinerary that you could write a book about - Australia, Bali, India, Ladakh, Kashgar, China, Tibet, Nepal, Thailand. Super cheap, 1 star, 0 star, trains and busses. My friend cops out and takes some Catholic sponsored group trip to Calcutta where he stays at Mother Teresa’s for a few months on the cheap washing clothes or some crap and comes back and gives me a St Francis medallion blessed by M.T. — BFD. He apologized for not being able to take the trip. Money maniacs.

 

1953 Snakes

 

1953s are turning 72.

 

1965 Snakes

I have had a couple of relationships with ‘65s when I was younger in my 40’s and 50’s. I have problems with people born from 1962 through 1966 as they have Pluto in their horoscopes on my Sun at 14 degrees Virgo.

 

1977

My daughter is a 1977 Snake. She has fraternal twin daughters born in Dragon Year 2012. She shies away from me as I am too rambunctious, too many money issues, seemingly, and because the old family separations are too much for her sensitive Snake personality. It’s tough when Dad disappears for months and then you get a postcard from him from India.
