A unique blend of transformation and rejuvenation may be expected this new lunar year, the Year of the Wood Snake, according to feng shui master Marites Allen.

‘The superstars for 2025, if you do your feng shui right, are those who are born in the Year of the Monkey because it is the best friend of the Snake.’

Allen says the snake, known for its wisdom and strategic thinking, encourages deep introspection and careful planning.

‘Superstars’ and ‘challengers’

Among the zodiac signs, Allen predicts that those born in the Year of the Monkey will be the “superstars” of 2025, enjoying significant luck and prosperity. Individuals born in the Year of the Rooster and the Rat are also expected to experience a favorable year.

However, those born in the Year of the Dog may encounter challenges, including misunderstandings and arguments. Individuals born in the Year of the Boar (Pig) will also face potential difficulties “because you are the enemy (of the Snake).”

“The superstars for 2025, if you do your feng shui right, are those who are born in the Year of the Monkey because it is the best friend of the Snake. The Monkey will also have the so-called wealth star for the year. Parang double ang kanyang luck (Its luck is double). Another sign that has a very good forecast are those born in the Year of the Rooster. Usually, the allies of the Snake are the Ox and Rooster. The Rat will also have a good year and the Horse.”

Allen adds that the Tiger and the Sheep “will also have some issues in terms of misfortunes.” Meanwhile, the Rabbit will have a prosperity star like the Monkey. However, she said, “You will be visited with three types of misfortunes, so be careful.”

Allen emphasizes that while the Year of the Snake may present obstacles, these can be mitigated through proper feng shui practices. She recommends consulting her 2025 Almanac, which provides specific feng shui recommendations for each zodiac sign.
