Happy New Year!! 2025 is the Year of the Snake in the Japanese zodiac. The snake is a symbol of renewal, rebirth, and growth, and is associated with longevity and good fortune.
In Japan, the zodiac is called Ju-nishi and consists of 12 animals, each assigned to a year. The snake is said to represent progress through difficulties, and its ability to shed its skin and grow stronger is seen as a symbol of eternal youth. In Japan, the snake has also been revered as a deity of fertility and weather, and as a divine messenger because of its ability to survive without food.
You can bring good fortune into your home by welcoming the Year of the Snake with snake motif items, such as ornaments, figurines, or bells.
