2025 Year of the Snake Feng Shui: Complete Zodiac Fortune Guide

This article is compiled from the CITIC CLSA Securities 2025 Feng Shui Index Report, which analyzes each zodiac sign's annual fortune using the Four Pillars and BaZi (八字) destiny chart, combined with the Five Elements (Wu Xing) Mutual Generation and Restriction theory and Flying Star analysis. It serves as an engaging and informative annual Feng Shui guide.

2025 Year of the Snake Overview

2025 is the lunar Ji Si (乙巳) Year of the Snake, belonging to the Wood Snake in the Five Elements (Wu Xing) system. In the Annual Flying Stars chart, Wood energy (木) is strong and prosperous this year, and since prosperous Wood generates Fire — combined with the current Nine Purple Li Fire Period (九紫离火运) — Fire-related industries such as technology and oil & gas are expected to perform outstandingly. Water-related sectors like entertainment and Earth-related sectors such as real estate will also enjoy a favorable year. The Grand Duke Tai Sui (太岁) is stationed in the southeast, while southwest and north are also viable directions. However, avoid the northeast, which is enveloped by Sha Qi (harmful energy).

Cultural Context: In Chinese metaphysics, the Tai Sui (太岁) is the celestial guardian of each earthly year. Each Chinese zodiac year aligns with a specific direction — in 2025, Tai Sui faces southeast, which means moving toward or disturbing this direction may bring misfortune, while facing it can attract good fortune.

Detailed Zodiac Fortunes

Rat — Mixed Fortune and Misfortune

Those born in the Year of the Rat will find it difficult to distinguish fortune from misfortune. Among every mix of luck, someone always suffers loss — if careless, you may become the target. Don't panic and scatter; stay grounded, do your homework, and prepare thoroughly.

Ox — Steady Progress First

Oxen are advised to complain less. Ignoring the Tai Sui may seem unwise, but there are no strong enemies ahead and no allies beside you. No need to fret — your hard work will reap success.

Tiger — Turn the Tide

The new year begins with ominous signs. If left unchecked, the Annual Flying Stars (流年飞星) may cause melancholy and frustration. Remember: the Tiger is a fierce beast — rely on your own claws to change your destiny.

Rabbit — Year of Glory and Honor

Those born in the Year of the Rabbit will be cloaked in honor and enjoy a festive, prosperous year. Undercurrents are stirring — some unfavorable celestial spirits are sharpening their claws. A little vigilance will keep you worry-free.

Dragon — Conserving Energy for the Breakthrough

Even with supportive energy, the Dragon remains a distance from the summit. You must take matters into your own hands, sharpen your claws, and proudly face the incoming adversity.

Snake — Your Time to Shine

The forked tongue means the Snake can double-quickly soothe any potential prey or hunter. The road ahead is rugged and fraught with crises, with traps lurking everywhere — yet this year is the perfect time to demonstrate your prowess.

Horse — Powerful Fortune Flows

A year of powerful luck — blast through mountains and bridge waters wherever they appear. Your granaries will be full, your joy unrestrained. Occasional rule-breaking causes no real harm; simply show your personal strength and character.

Goat — The Test of Fate

Heaven's tricks seem to leave the Goat restless and irritable, and this year you may fall into a dilemma. Current benefits may slip away at year's start, but the power of Tai Sui will gradually stabilize.

Monkey — Hidden Assistance

The Monkey is accompanied by a large group of invisible friends — pursue your targets on multiple fronts following your list. Occasional setbacks and quarrels are to be expected.

Rooster — Great Auspicious Fortune

Numerous auspicious stars surround the Rooster, and nothing can hold you back. The year's fortune flows smoothly — great luck and great profits await. Stay thorough during busy times and prepare to become this year's leading character.

Dog — From Adversity to Prosperity

Negative Sha Qi finally departs. The Dog, freed from hardship, can finally catch its breath. The Snake year surpasses the Dragon year — on the soon-to-mature earth, grass, lettuce, and carrots carpet the road toward the future.

Pig — Low-Profile Power Building

The Pig's road ahead is bumpy and uneven. Stay grounded and do your homework — wait until 2026 to look further ahead. This is not a year for letting your guard down, but there's no need to panic.

Annual Lucky Fortune Recommendations

• Those born in the Horse, Rabbit, or Rat years will be cloaked in glory and enjoy a festive, prosperous year
• Ox, Dog, Dragon, and Monkey have decent fortune this year, with only minor setbacks
• Goat, Pig, Tiger, and Snake are blinded by their own greed — stay clear-headed
• The Grand Duke Tai Sui is stationed in the southeast — investments toward the southeast should be cautious
• The northwest direction faces the Year Breaker Position (岁破位) — avoid making important decisions
• Investing toward the south or east directions will yield generous returns
