The Wood Snake slithered in on January 29, 2025, riding a wave of transformation. If life has felt chaotic lately, you’re not alone. We’re in a time of collective upheaval, but this year, that energy is turning inward—pushing you to confront deep changes in your spiritual life and relationships. And let’s be real: it won’t always feel comfortable.
Why? Because the parts of your personality that have been holding you back are about to demand your attention. You might not be able to pinpoint exactly what’s shifting, but you’ll feel it—probably in ways that are unsettling.
Normally, the Snake is patient, watching and waiting. But this year, Wood energy shakes things up, making change happen suddenly. You’ll feel it most in your emotional well-being.
So, what should you expect? You might struggle with unexpected waves of emotional heaviness, making it harder to find your footing. And since this year is all about illuminating the shadows of your psyche, you may not even recognize what’s triggering these feelings at first. Our deepest wounds tend to hide in plain sight.
That’s why having guidance—whether from a mentor, therapist, or trusted friend—will be essential. Seeking guidance in unconventional ways can help you get through unconventional times. You already know acupuncture can help with emotional challenges like anger, fear, and anxiety. But did you know its ancient purpose was to guide you back to the Tao—to help you reconnect with your true self, free from the burdens of your buried psyche? While few practitioners today are trained in these deeper Taoist arts, you have a unique opportunity to work with a clinic that specializes in this ancient wisdom, releasing energetic blocks that have been disrupting your life and keeping you from living the life you truly want.
The pull toward transformation is undeniable this year, and two areas will feel it the most: relationships and inner spiritual growth.
Think about everything that’s happened in the last four years. Almost everyone I’ve met is already on some kind of inner journey—whether consciously or not. The Wood Snake is here to accelerate that process, bringing the uncomfortable truths to light so you can finally move through them.
Are you ready to shed some old skin?
