In the past, the Year of the Snake saw the Great Depression in 1929, the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, and the dotcom bubble burst in 2001. However, in 2025, feng shui experts have a positive prediction.
The year of At Ty has the heavenly stem At of the Wood element and the earthly branch Ty of the Fire element. Wood symbolizes growth and development. Fire represents intensity and enthusiasm. According to the five elements, Wood generates Fire, which means this year will bring growth and optimism.
Raymond Lo, a feng shui expert in Hong Kong, said the element of fire - symbolizing happiness and optimism - has returned in the Year of the Snake, after being absent for the past seven years. Fire will bring confidence and boost global economic activities.
In the Five Elements, the South represents Fire. According to Feng Shui, snakes are often placed in the Southeast of a home to bring prosperity. Therefore, Raymond Lo predicts that this year's positive energy will be especially beneficial for Southeast Asian countries. Asian markets, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Southeast Asian countries, could boom.
The return of the Fire element also helps people feel more confident in spending, shopping, and investing. This is good for the financial markets, travel, cryptocurrencies, airlines, real estate, banking, and gold. Fire is used to refine gold. Therefore, gold prices often increase sharply during the Year of the Snake.
In the annual Fengshui report published by the securities brokerage firm CLSA (Hong Kong), the firm's fengshui experts also made predictions about health, relationships and work in the new year.
This year, CLSA assessed that in the Five Elements, Metal is weaker than last year and only gets stronger in a few months of autumn and spring. Therefore, Feng Shui experts believe that the activities of industries related to Metal will be quite quiet this year. Some typical industries are bicycles, cars, watches, and aluminum window frames.
Industries related to Earth (infrastructure, antiques, consulting, secretarial...) also have room for growth, but not much. CLSA believes that these industries will have a good start and end of the year, but a lackluster mid-year.
On the contrary, the Fire element is strong, when combined with Wood, it will explode even more. Even in months with less Fire element, the fire will burn quietly and not disappear. Therefore, CSLA predicts that industries related to Fire will have a prosperous year. Not only oil and gas, Internet businesses and technology companies will also do well.
This year, the Wood element is also very strong. Industries related to Wood that will benefit are consumer goods, sustainable development, textiles, picture frames, and paper rolls.
Meanwhile, the Water element of the year of the Snake will be stronger in summer and winter. Water-related industries such as trade and shipping are expected to continue to be vibrant. However, some other industries may not be as prosperous, such as filmmaking or brokerage.
For Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index, Forest Chan, an analyst at CLSA, expects the performance to be "smoother and less dramatic than the Year of the Dragon," he told SCMP.
CLSA’s report also predicted the fortunes of some famous people in the Year of the Snake. For example, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was born in 1963, the Year of the Cat, which has many Wood elements similar to this year. Since the technology industry is largely related to Fire and one of Huang’s characteristics is to always stick to his work, Nvidia prospered while he was in charge.
People born in the year of the Cat usually have a very favorable year of the Snake. CLSA believes that Huang can freely invest his assets in charity projects and emerging businesses in the industry. They advise startups to take advantage of this year to promote their ideas to Huang, because by 2027, his interests may change to other areas of life.
Another billionaire mentioned in the CLSA report is Mukes Ambani, born in the year of the Rat in 1957. People born in the year of the Rat will be very prosperous in 2025. Most of his activities can bring him abundant wealth. Ambani's social relationships are also predicted to improve a lot. Ambani is expected to increase his charity work in the year of the Snake.
Feng shui expert and astrologer Jojo Zhou said that Wood generates Fire in the year of the Snake, which represents favorable news for the market. Challenges will gradually ease. "For real estate, the Wood and Fire elements will fuel transactions. Although far from peak levels, lower interest rates will have a positive impact on the market," she said.
Zhou also predicted that the market will see many new models and ideas emerge. "Governments and businesses will welcome many opportunities. For individuals, this is especially important. When we are willing to accept new things and challenges, we can achieve financial success in the new year," she concluded.
