It’s worth noting that the Chinese zodiac has five elements associated with each sign: earth, fire, water, wood and metal. In 2025, it’s a year of the wood snake — an event that happens every 60 years. The wood element can amplify the Year of the Snake’s focus on creativity, flexibility and harmony — something desired by many.

Feng shui master Tong Pik-ha gives her predictions, from the lucky colours to wear to which sign will have a bad year when it comes to love.

“The Year of the Snake in 2025 symbolises transformation, wisdom, and renewal. It represents the closure of old chapters and the beginning of new ones, encouraging all zodiac signs to embrace change and growth. Interpreted through tarot, the Snake’s energy offers insights for personal, professional, and spiritual evolution,” said Dr Kaur.
