In 2025， those born in the year of the Snake will encounter a mix of auspicious and inauspicious stars， due to it being their birth year and thus a year of 犯太岁 (fan tai sui). 犯太岁 refers to a clash with the "Grand Duke of Jupiter" and is traditionally believed to bring disruptions and challenges. However， there are methods to mitigate these negative influences， such as celebrating a joyous occasion to offset potential misfortune.
