Your Chinese zodiac sign comes from your birth year. In 2025, the Year of the Snake, each sign interacts with Snake energy in a different way. Some get a boost. Others need more care. Understanding this link helps you plan the year. This guide explains how your sign shapes your fortune.
What Fortune Means in the Zodiac
In Chinese astrology, fortune covers career, money, love, health, and luck. It is not just about money. It is about how smoothly things go. Your sign's traits and its relation to the year animal affect that. These ideas are for fun. Your choices still matter most. Visit our categories for more forecasts.
The Year Animal Matters
2025 is the Snake year. Snakes are linked to wisdom, change, and planning. The Snake favors patience over speed. Signs that match this energy (Ox, Rooster, Dragon) tend to do well. Signs that clash (Tiger, Pig) may face more bumps. Snakes themselves are in ben ming nian and need extra care. Use our zodiac finder to confirm your sign.
Harmony and Clash
Chinese astrology uses harmony and clash between signs. Harmony pairs (like Ox and Snake) support each other. Clash pairs (like Tiger and Monkey) create tension. In 2025, signs that harmonize with Snake or the current energy tend to see better fortune. Signs that clash may need to work harder. For more on how signs relate, see our love compatibility guide.
