Were You Born in 1965 or 2025? Here’s What It Says About You! 🐍

If you’re a Wood Snake, you’ve got a rare mix of charm, strategy, and quiet power—but let’s be real, you probably knew that already. 😉

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲?
🔮 Mysterious & Wise – You see through people faster than they realize.
💬 Smooth Talker – Could probably sell water to a fish.
🧠 Strategic Thinker – Always three steps ahead in life.
🌱 Adaptable – Change doesn’t scare you—it fuels you.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲…
✨ A year of transformation! You might shed old habits (or people 👀) and embrace new opportunities. Money? It’s coming—if you don’t spend it all on luxury. Love? Expect intrigue, passion, and maybe a little drama.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 ‘𝗢𝗵 𝗡𝗼’ 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗲:
🐍 Your secrets are locked up so tight, even you forget them.
🧐 People think you’re chill, but you’re mentally five moves ahead.
💰 You attract money… but you also love spending it. Balance, my friend!

😏 Can be a little too persuasive—just because you can talk your way out of things, doesn’t mean you should!

So, are you a Wood Snake? Or do you know one? Tag them and let’s see if they agree! 👇

Although this is Ipswich, we thought the fact it was a charity made it worth sharing. The car looks good as well.
