Year of the Snake Part 2: Symbolism
The Snake’s presence in the Chinese zodiac is a potent reminder of transformation, wisdom, and adaptability—qualities that resonate deeply with many of us as we navigate our personal lives and creative endeavors. It’s not just a year for change; it’s a time for metamorphosis, for evolving into something truer, wiser, and more aligned with our purpose. I find myself resonating more and more with these themes as the months unfold, and I can see how the Year of the Snake is not just about shedding old habits, but also embracing the new and the unknown.
