Embracing the Lunar New Year: A Transformative Journey into the Year of the Green Wood Snake

Buckle up, buttercup, and grab your favorite beverage—this post is packed with important insights that you don’t want to miss! (You can thank me later. 😉)

The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and this one is a game-changer. Let’s dive into why this particular Lunar New Year is so significant and how you can harness its powerful energy for transformation, growth, and magick in 2025.

What Is the Lunar New Year?

The Lunar New Year occurs on the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice, marking the official end of Yule and ushering in a brand-new energetic year.

Yes, you read that right: energetic year—not a calendar year. While the Gregorian calendar is a human-made system dating back to 1582 (thanks, Pope Gregory 🙄), energy operates on universal principles that transcend arbitrary dates.

The Lunar New Year offers an opportunity to align with cosmic and earthly rhythms. This alignment is particularly potent when viewed through the lens of Chinese Cosmology.

Understanding 2025 Through Chinese Cosmology

Chinese Cosmology, which I’ve studied extensively, is rooted in energy. It offers three key elements to understand the year ahead:

  1. Yin or Yang energy

  2. Elemental energy

  3. Animal energy

Let’s take a closer look at 2025 and what it reveals.

Yin Energy

2025 is a Yin year, emphasizing introspection, intuition, and softness. Yin qualities include receptivity, rest, and inner wisdom, providing a counterbalance to the action-oriented Yang energy of 2024.

While the transition from Yang to Yin energy may feel gradual, leaning into Yin qualities will be highly beneficial. Think of intuition, stillness, and emotional depth—these are the gifts Yin energy offers.

Ask Yourself: How can I embrace more Yin energy in my life this year?

The Element of Wood

In Chinese Cosmology, 2025 is ruled by the element of Wood, symbolizing growth, new beginnings, and creativity.

Wood energy is associated with flexibility and expansion, much like springtime when nature bursts into life. Its color is green, which is why 2025 is also known as the Year of the Green Snake.

Wood inspires movement and progress. This year, focus on planting seeds of change, nurturing them, and allowing yourself to grow in new directions.

Ask Yourself: How can I bring more growth and creativity into my life this year?

🐍 Snake Energy

The animal energy of 2025 is the Snake, a symbol of transformation, intelligence, and intuition in Chinese culture.

Snakes are revered for their ability to shed their skin, representing renewal and evolution. This year will challenge you to embrace change—whether you’re naturally adaptable or prefer the comfort of the familiar.

Snake energy also teaches discernment. It asks you to separate truth from illusion and focus on what truly matters, especially as you navigate distractions or fear-based narratives.

Ask Yourself: How will I harness Snake energy to embrace transformation this year?

🌟 The Year Ahead: Transformation, Intuition, and Growth

Beyond Chinese Cosmology, Snake energy is revered across cultures for its wisdom and transformative power. From ancient myths to spiritual teachings, the Snake symbolizes rebirth, mystery, and profound insight.

This year will demand your focus and resilience, but it also offers immense rewards if you’re willing to align with its energy.
