Zodiac Incense Gift Set - 2025, Year of the Snake

Zodiac incense - Limited edition: 2024, Year of the Wood Snake.

According to the Chinese horoscope, the Snake is a sacred, wise, intuitive and auspicious animal. Like the roots of a tree, wood symbolises strength, growth, expansion and wisdom; its influence mitigates the Snake's distrust, making it more empathetic and cooperative. So be prepared: the Chinese New Year, which will begin on 29 January 2025, will be an eventful year that will come without great turmoil.

The years of the Snake are: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 et 2013. The lucid and inquisitive temperament of a person born in the Year of the Snake makes them curious, cultured and wise. A good psychologist, the Snake is observant, which makes it a good negotiator and a valuable listener to its friends. In love, the Snake needs both physical and intellectual connection.
