Chinese New Year: The Year of the Snake
by Susan Levitt
The wise and introspective Water Snake year is time for powerful rebirth and transformation in all areas of your life. Finally, you can shed your skin and be reborn. Now is the time for introspection, reflection, and deep experiences. It is very fortunate to develop a spiritual practice if you do not already have one. Rewards are found in the inner world of spirit, not the outer world of material things. The pace of life is slow in a Snake year, and that includes an economic slow down. But THE YEAR OF THE WATER SNAKE gives us time to recover from the hectic pace of Dragon year 2012, and prepare for the wild ride that will be Horse year 2014.
During this Water Snake year, it is fortunate to make a journey to a sacred place. Or find a quiet, healing spot in nature or by water. Coil up, contemplate, and strike when the time is right. Snake is a magical creature because it sheds its skin to be reborn. As Snake crawls on the ground with strength and fluidity, it is connected to Earth and to the powers of healing. The venom of this mysterious power animal can cause death. Snake truly embodies many mysteries and has a place of honor in world traditions. In ancient China, Snake was a celestial deity and one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac.
