2097 Chinese zodiac: Year of the Fire Snake
The 2097 Chinese year will run from Tuesday 12 February 2097 to Friday 31 January 2098.
Its sign is the Yin Fire Snake: 丁巳 (Dīng-sì) in the 60-year cycle.
Born 1 January – 11 February 2097? Then you belong to the previous Chinese year: the Fire Dragon of 2096.
Chinese New Year or Lichun?
Most calendars change the animal at Chinese New Year. Four Pillars (BaZi) astrology starts the year at Lichun, the Start of Spring, instead. For births around the turn of the year the two counts differ:
- 3 February 2097 (Lichun day): by Lichun, Fire Dragon before 09:42 China time and Fire Snake from then on; by Chinese New Year, Fire Dragon.
- 4–11 February 2097: Fire Dragon by Chinese New Year, Fire Snake by Lichun.
Dates and times in China time. The Chinese zodiac calculator converts them for your birthplace and shows both counts.
The Fire Snake in Chinese astrology
Fire is the Snake's own fixed element, so a Fire Snake is said to be the most intense and ambitious Snake, confident and quietly magnetic.
The Snake is the sixth Chinese zodiac animal, associated in tradition with wisdom, intuition and a calm, private grace. Fire is the element of warmth and energy, linked in Chinese tradition with summer, passion and outward expression.
