February 3 - February 9, 2025
As you move into both the first full week of the Year of the Snake and of the month of the Tiger, you are still adjusting to their influence. The Year of the Snake has brought you to the halfway point of your current personal 12 year lunar cycle and with it a chance to check in with anything out of balance and over the next 12 months make any course corrections required. A Snake Moon on Monday and Tuesday will give you an early feel for the Snake's influence. While the Snake is around for the next 12 months, the month of the Tiger and its focus on things close to home is only around for another four weeks. This puts the focus on home, family and on those rituals and routines that can help you feel grounded and can bring a sense of belonging.
Year of the Snake
Jan 29, 2025 - Feb 17, 2026
There is something about the Snake that the Pig finds captivating, not sure whether to run away and hide or stay and try and figure out what’s going on. The Snake Year by its very nature is not going to give up its secrets too easily, with a lot of things not what they appear at first glance. While as a Pig you have a sixth sense and can usually get an intuitive read on most things, situations and people, this will be enhanced even more during the Year of the Snake, making you an especially good judge of others and a bit of a human lie detector, naturally sensing when others aren’t being authentic.
You’ll shy away from subterfuge, with little tolerance for people you don’t feel are being upfront or for game playing. If it feels like hard work, that you must put all your emotional resources and energy into trying to figure something or someone out, eventually it won’t be worth the effort. This will see you gravitate to people, situations and relationships that aren’t hard work and where what you see is what you get. This could see some friendships and relationships drop away, with those that remain strengthening.
Both your personal and professional relationships will become more important during the Year of the Snake, but it is also likely to be a defining relationship year, where things could either go one way or the other and won’t remain sitting on the fence. The ‘travel star’ is also present this year, indicating a busy year on the work front and that you could be travelling for work, working out of town or a lot happening on the work front, indicating a busy year. At work avoid petty office politics like the plague. You’ll be using a lot of brain power this year, which could zap your energy and impact your health if you don’t replace this with healthy nutrients and ways to relax your mind and unwind. Time management is essential, as is finding a balance between work and play.
About the Pig The Pig is self-sacrificing, sincere and merry. They may come across cynical and brash in the beginning, but underneath the tough exterior is a perfectly softhearted and decent soul.
A Pig is noble and strong. They make great friends, although not always easy friends. Pigs expect their own generosity to be reciprocated equally by friends or they may quickly end the relationship. They also possess a reckless streak that can make them difficult to handle.
Pigs are noble and chivalrous people who are compassionate, diligent, generous, and fun to be with. They maintain lifelong friendships, yet even if they marry someone from their ideal partners, the relationships are likely to be rocky.
Despite the fact that they are good-humored, sociable and cheerful, tact is not one of the Pig's best virtues. They do not fare well in diplomatic careers. A Pig's emotional temperature is easily raised. They have strong sexual desires and physical love is very important to them. Pigs make loyal and loving partners.
