Since Snake is a harmonious zodiac animal for Ox, Rooster, and Monkey, these Chinese zodiac signs have a year of wealth, prosperity, and positive energy awaiting them.

At the very least, using a common astrological system — whether it's Western astrology or the Chinese zodiac — to connect helps you have a little fun by identifying with the qualities and tendencies of the various signs.

Bidding farewell to the mythical Dragon, the world welcomes the Year of the Snake on January 29 — the first day of the Lunar New Year. For those who celebrate this ancient festival, starting the year on a positive note is essential.
