Overall Fortune — ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
In 2026, Snakes can expect their overall energy to gradually stabilise. Even though you will only be blessed by one auspicious star, its influence will be meaningful
The Lu Xun (禄勋) star represents achievement and upward trajectory, bringing you potential opportunities for progress.
However, multiple inauspicious stars might destabilise your climb to success. Your life might feel steady on the surface, but interruptions or emotional distractions could appear unexpectedly.
This year, Snakes might feel the urge to stay in their comfort zones, but you are advised to embrace change with an open mind, absorbing new knowledge and new connections. Only then can you leverage the power of the Fire element in the Ninth Fortune Period (九运) to transform turbulence into support and instability into growth.
Auspicious stars: Lu Xun (禄勋)
Inauspicious stars: Bing Fu (病符), Mo Yue (陌越), Wang Shen (亡神), Di Sha (的煞)
Clash with Tai Sui: No
Career Fortune — ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Snakes' career prospects are relatively positive this year. You may experience increased recognition, role changes, or new responsibilities that push you to grow beyond familiar territory.
Even if organisational changes feel disruptive, they ultimately encourage your growth. Snakes need to respond flexibly and take initiative where appropriate.
You may also face some pressure from unfamiliar settings or new people. You're advised to focus on learning new skills to convert this pressure into opportunity.
Your professional standing will improve if you remain proactive rather than waiting idly for instructions to be given. Snakes should embrace new challenges as stepping stones to promotion.
Wealth Fortune — ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Wealth demands effort. Your income will likely increase through hard work or professional advancement. However, the presence of the Di Sha (的煞) star foretells that small losses may occur due to travel or unplanned expenses.
Snakes are advised to manage finances with a clear structure. You should reinvest wealth gained this year into self-improvement or skill development.
To avoid misfortune, you must double-check your belongings during travel to prevent losing them. Your financial security will improve if you exercise discipline and avoid impulsive spending on unnecessary gadgets or luxury items.
Love Fortune — ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
Emotional matters remain steady but subdued for you in 2026. Under Fire energy, superficial connections are more common, but Snakes are advised not to rush into any romantic commitments.
For singles, prioritising personal growth leads to better long-term outcomes.
With the presence of the Wang Shen (亡神) star, you might feel emotionally detached or distracted. For those in relationships, stability depends on managing daily friction.
You should participate in shared activities that promote calmness to strengthen your bond. Your love life will improve if you maintain transparency with your partner and address small grievances before they fester.
Health Fortune — ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5)
Health is the most sensitive area for Snakes this year. The Bing Fu (病符) star will bring upon vulnerability to illness, especially related to blood pressure, cardiovascular issues, or stress.
Fire energy further intensifies internal heat, which could lead to inflammation. You are strongly advised to regulate your routines and maintain a lighter diet.
Snakes need to prioritise rest and listen to their bodies. Your physical vitality will improve if you avoid late nights.
Family Fortune — ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
Your relationship with your family will generally be stable this year, but small disruptions may occur due to health concerns of your elders.
Snakes are advised to pay close attention to your family members' well-being and not neglect household matters. You should avoid letting work stress overflow into your interactions at home.
When you manage your emotions calmly, your family harmony will improve. To avoid misfortune, you can consider creating a more relaxing home environment through better organisation.
Additionally, Snakes need to be the pillar of support for your loved ones during times of minor health scares.
