With less than a month until the Chinese New Year, The Standard's “Countdown to CNY” series will bring you articles on Spring Festival traditions and Chinese zodiac forecasts.
If your Chinese zodiac sign is the Snake – if you were born in 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013 or 2025 – here is what Chinese astrology says about your prospects for the new year:
Those born in the Year of the Snake are set to have a mixed year. Snakes who wish to boost their fortune should wear monkey- or rooster-shaped talismans.
The stars for health are not very favorable, indicating illness or emotional and sleep issues; and connote separation and loss – maybe involving relocation, overseas studies, or the passing of elders. Stars also signify the presence of minor pains and issues.
The relevant stars indicate smooth financial gains as well as potential promotions and income increases, also signifying that Snakes will possess a spirit of relentless drive and vigor.
Conditions for romance will be favorable and Snakes should take part in celebratory events to potentially boost romantic prospects.
