Feng shui master Joseph Chau Kam Shing predicts that 2025, the Year of the Wood Snake, will be a year of significant transformations and changes. This period falls under feng shui trend 9 (2024 to 2044), associated with the fire element, which may lead to heightened emotions and increased tension.
From 3 February to 4 March, and 5 May to 4 June, there is a high likelihood of mood swings and conflicts on both personal and international levels. These tensions can escalate into economic disputes or even wars, contributing to global instability and inflation. To navigate this challenging period, it’s important to remain adaptable and embrace opportunities for growth and innovation.
Industries related to tourism, hospitality, logistics, fashion, furniture-making, restaurants, television, information technology, and artificial intelligence are expected to perform well this year. However, sectors such as banking, trading, and construction may face significant challenges and competition. Businesses in these fields will need to revise their strategies and focus on improving services to attract more customers.
This year calls for vigilance regarding health, particularly on issues affecting the kidneys, lungs, liver, heart, and digestive system. Additionally, the emergence of a virus and pandemic are possible, emphasizing the need for strict personal and food hygiene.
Transportation accidents may become more frequent, so extra caution is advised while traveling. Natural disasters, such as typhoons, floods, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides, are expected in various regions. The most critical months for these events are February, May, and August.
