The Year of the Snake symbolises mystery, intuition, wisdom and transformation. While the snake is sometimes associated with cunning and secrecy, it is also revered for its keen intellect and deep insight. People born in the Year of the Snake (1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025) are often seen as rational, calm, thoughtful, and deeply loyal to their loved ones.
