The Chinese New Year always starts at the time of the first new Moon in Aquarius. This new year begins on Friday 29 January 2025 and will be the year of the Wood Snake. Feng shui is very closely overlapped with Chinese Astrology. The feng shui year ahead is very linked to the symbolism of the Wood Snake.
The year of the Wood Snake
People born during the year of the snake (2013–2014, 2001–2002, 1989–1990, 1977–1978, 1965–1966, 1953–1954) are intelligent, analytical, strategic and wise. They are also very intuitive, observant and like to think before they speak or act.
These traits will be the focal point of the year ahead. This will be a great year to develop intellect, be more observant and pay heed to your intuition. Actions which serve emotional and physical health throughout this year are important and will be required for balance. Observing your feelings at the beginning of each day will help you start start your day calmly.
The element of wood is creative, favours new growth and development and links to great imagination and foresight. Wood is a slow burning element which is well represented by the Oak Tree, showing; balance, longevity, beauty and resilience.
Combining these areas we see the year ahead will be a great year for artistry and personal development. In all areas a slow steady and measured approach will prove beneficial. Also being in touch with our intuition will help us to stay in balance and present.
This year making plans before we act will bring great results. A slow steady approach mirrors the process of conscious manifestation. So, 2025 can be a prime year for implementing new manifestation techniques. Also, for learning to integrate long terms goals to daily thoughts and belief practise, day-to-day.
Looking for love in 2025?
For those looking for love in 2025, the slow approach will be the most fruitful. Oftentimes the best relationships begin with friendship. Broadening social circles and branching into areas of interest will be a joyful way to connect to people.
Instead of online dating or wild nights out as a strategy to meet new people, consider a slow approach. For instance, getting more involved in crafts, hobbies and community projects which are of interest to you. Great love can be a meeting of the minds, this year finding people with common interests could lead to love!
Remember it’s not what somebody looks like that makes your heart fill with love and comfort, it’s how you feel when you are in their presence, and relax into their embrace. True compatibility is how you feel with the person when your eyes are shut!
This is a great year for past loves to find one another again. As there will be a slower tone to the year, many will be reminiscing about happy days. Meditating on romantic memories will reveal connections that remain in the heart. Usually where love still exists it is felt by both parties. This year will be a good year to check in those you still care deeply for. Some old lovers will reunite! Soulmates will be able to feel each other in 2025, especially if they have already met. New soulmates may be encountered too, it proves to be a deeply romantic year for those seeking true love!
