People born in the year of the Snake are called 'Snakes' in China. If you were born in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965, 1953, 1941, 1929, or 1917, then you're probably a Snake. A Chinese zodiac year is usually said to start from Chinese New Year, whose date ranges from late January to mid-February. Therefore, if you were born in January or February in one of the above years, you might be a Snake or a Dragon. Additionally, if you were born in January/February of the years immediately following those above (i.e. 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966, 1954, etc.), then you may be a Snake or a Horse.
