2025 Year of the Wood Snake: Feng Shui Predictions & Tips for Success
As we transition from the dynamic and powerful Year of the Wood Dragon, we enter a period of calm, strategy, and introspection with the arrival of the Year of the Wood Snake, beginning on January 29, 2025. The Snake, a symbol of wisdom, intuition, and transformation, combined with the grounding and creative energy of the Wood element, promises a year of thoughtful growth, strategic planning, and profound personal discovery.
Unlike the Dragon's outward and expansive energy, the Snake encourages us to look inward, to shed old skins, and to make calculated moves. As a Feng Shui master, I advise my clients that 2025 is not a year for reckless action, but for careful consideration and intelligent decisions. It is a time to cultivate your inner wisdom and to build a solid foundation for future success.
