Welcome to the Year of the Snake! January 29, 2025, marks the start of the lunar new year. Do you know your Zodiac animal sign from your birth year? Are you a Dragon, Rabbit, or one of the other ten animals? Compare your character with your family or friends.  According to legend, the order of animals in the zodiac was determined by a race across a great river, with each animal relying on their strengths to succeed.
