As the world enters a transformative era marked by new global orders and the ninth grand Feng Shui cycle, 2025, the Year of the Snake, promises both challenges and opportunities.
Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice focused on harmonising individuals with their environment, offers guidance to navigate the year’s complexities effectively.
Speaking to Sinar Daily, founder of the Good Feng Shui Group Master Kenny Hoo described 2025 as a year of significant ups and downs.
"Despite market uncertainties caused by new systems, laws and guidelines, this year opens life-changing opportunities across business, career, technology and education.
"The world is shifting into a new phase, driven by international changes and the powerful energies of the ninth Feng Shui cycle," he explained.
Feng Shui emphasises the importance of energy balance, or 'Qi' in shaping one’s life.
According to Master Kenny Hoo, individuals born under the Horse, Tiger and Dog zodiac signs will experience an exceptionally prosperous year.
"These three zodiacs are surrounded by auspicious stars, bringing wealth, career growth and holistic success.
"The Horse, in particular, will shine the brightest this year," while also advising those born under the Dog zodiac sign to focus on their health.
Meanwhile, individuals born under the Monkeys, Rats, and Dragons zodiac signs are also set to enjoy a favorable year, though with caution.
"They should be mindful of their health, particularly their digestive and respiratory systems, backbone and skin sensitivity," Master Kenny advised.
For those born under Pig, Rabbit, and Goat signs, the year might bring more challenges.
"With fewer supporting stars, they will need to exert extra effort, remain patient and avoid impulsive decisions, especially in May, July and November,” he added.
Snakes, on the other hand, are expected to fare reasonably well, equipped with problem-solving energies to tackle obstacles.
FENG SHUI STRATEGIES FOR 2025
To harness the positive energy of 2025, Master Kenny recommended incorporating Feng Shui principles into daily life. He highlighted two key strategies:
1. Lucky colors: The lucky colors for 2025 are gold and blue. Wearing these colors—such as a golden tie or a blue handbag—during important events can attract good fortune.
2. Lucky directions: The east and south sectors of homes and offices will resonate with positive energies. Place your office desk or main room in these sectors to align with the year’s beneficial Qi.
The Year of the Snake symbolises resilience, adaptability, and wisdom. These traits are essential for navigating the year’s transformative energy.
This year, Feng Shui enthusiasts and believers are encouraged to stay calm, plan strategically, and take proactive steps to harmonise their lives with the energies of the Year of the Snake.
