Dr. Mao Annual Forecast
Year of The Snake 2025
Universally, a new year symbolizes hope for fresh beginnings and releasing the past. The same holds true for nearly two billion people across China and Asia who celebrate the Lunar New Year as a time to reset their lives positively. What sets the Asian Lunar New Year apart from the Western Gregorian New Year is its deep connection to the 60-year astrological cycle, which assigns unique significance to each year based on the interplay of celestial energies.
The ancient Chinese calendar system, rooted in studying heavenly stems and earthly branches (from the I Ching), remains widely used today, particularly among feng shui and astrology practitioners. 2025 marks the Yi (ä¹™) Si (å·³) year, comprising Yin Wood (Yi) and Fire (Si) elements, and is also the Year of the Snake. This year brings a dynamic blend of growth, flexibility, and transformation, offering an opportunity for steady progress and personal evolution under the influence of the Snake’s wisdom and adaptability.
The year 2025, governed by the Yi Si (乙巳) energies, introduces the qualities of Yin Wood (Yi) and Fire (Si). Yin Wood represents flexibility, growth, and adaptability, while Fire brings passion and transformation. Together, these energies create a year of subtle but powerful change, encouraging individuals to cultivate patience, progress steadily, and prepare for significant transformations. However, the clash between Wood's expansive growth and Fire intensity may bring periods of tension, emotional volatility, or burnout if not managed wisely.
