What Your 2025 Snake Baby Would Be Like, According To Fengshui
Having a baby in the Year of the Wood Snake (2025)? Check out fengshui predictions for baby's personality, potential careers and health, sorted by season.
By The Weekly team -
Snakes tend to get a bad rap when it comes to the animal kingdom, or pop culture (thanks a lot Taylor Swift and Reputation) but if you’re having a baby this year, you might be curious to know how that translates into the zodiac sign and year it represents.
Celebrities born in the Year of the Snake include Belinda Lee, Chen Liping, Taylor Swift, Gong Li, Aaron Kwok and Psy.
So it should not come as a surprise that Snake babies are known to be blessed with literary talent and are also flexible thinkers. While they may take their time to consider options, they make decisions boldly.
Wood Snake babies refer to babies born between 3 February, 2025 (2227) and 4 February, 2026 (0416). In case you're wondering why 3 February instead of 29 January since the latter is the first day of Chinese New Year: fengshui follows the solar calendar, and the first day of the new year begins on li chun (start of spring) which is on 3 February, 2025 at 2227 rather than on Lunar New Year's Day. Therefore, babies born from li chun onwards are considered true Snake babies. Sorry, we don't make the rules.
While generally cheerful and optimistic, Snake babies born in May, June and July may be hyperactive. Babies born in these months as well as in October are also likely to be more impatient.
