Chinese zodiac 2025 horoscopes predict difficulty for three signs in Year of the Snake
This Chinese New Year, on Wednesday January 29, we'll be entering the Year of the Snake. According to an ancient myth, the order of zodiac signs are determined by the order in which 12 animals finished a great race across a river. In the race, the Snake finished sixth despite it having no legs.
In the legend, the Snake was able to compensate for not being the best swimmer by hitching a ride on the Horse across the river. When the Horse crossed the line it jumped out, scaring the Horse and taking sixth place. People born in the Year of the Snake (1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, and 2025) are said to be resourceful, insightful, and graceful problem-solvers, embodying the power of adaptability and growth.
According to the Chinese zodiac three signs are set to have a tough year. These are the Pig, Goat, and Ox. Here's what lies ahead for those signs as reported by Style.

Pig (1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 and 2019)
The pig is the Snake's nemesis which is never a good sign for the year. Following a year of luck in 2023, Pigs will have to think things through and take advice before making big decisions. They may feel impatient and edgy with others and should avoid getting caught up in issues that could leave them missing out on good deals. Pigs should avoid being stubborn and be willing to apologise as this will help with unconformable moments.
Goat (1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015)
For Goats, 2025 is a year of self-investment, upskilling and embracing change. Keeping emotions in check will go a long way in self-support but it is important to seek help if need as those will be more than willing.
Feel confident in your communication and don't hold back on your thoughts. Still, think things through and take advice before making major decisions otherwise luck could disappear.
Ox (1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 and 2021)
The year 2025 represents new opportunities for Oxen as situational changes are predicted to lift themselves. Self-investment is crucial so if there is something they've been planning to do, the Year of the Snake is the time to do it.
Oxen are reminded to be careful while travelling to prevent incidents but also love will be a main factor for them. Despite the low astrological ranking, it is important to remain optimistic with a strong mindset and accept any challenges that come their way.
