Year of the Wood Snake 2025: Feng Shui Predictions from Master Marites Allen

 

As the world welcomes a new Chinese New Year on January 29, 2025, a period governed by the energies of the Wood Snake, renowned feng shui expert Marites Allen offers a sneak peek into what this new lunar year holds.

“Unlike the boldness of the preceding Year of the Wood Dragon, the Year of the Snake ushers in a more introspective and methodical energy, governed by the Yin Wood element,” Marites says in a recent media presentation. She explains that this element signifies patience, growth, and renewal, making it a year for laying strong foundations and fostering steady progress. 

In broad strokes, here’s how Marites Allen paints the generalscenario for 2025.

Strategic Growth and Career Opportunities
2025 presents ample opportunities for career advancement and financial success. The Yin Wood element, representing growth and renewal, supports steady and deliberate effort, impacting industries that rely on long-term development like technology, health, and education. The Year of the Snake is about laying the groundwork for future achievements, and individuals are encouraged to embrace careful planning rather than chasing quick wins.

Nurturing Relationships and Emotional Bonds
The Year of the Wood Snake is an ideal time for nurturing relationships. Couples can strengthen their bonds through open communication and understanding, while singles may find more meaningful, lasting connections. Marites Allen emphasizes the importance of patience and sincerity in fostering love this year, as fleeting romances may present temptations.

Health and Well-being: A Focus on Balance
Health takes center stage in 2025, with the Center Star of the Flying Star forecast highlighting potential health concerns. Preventive measures will be key, as the presence of the illness star suggests a need for vigilance against outbreaks and health issues. Regular check-ups, vaccinations, and hygiene practices are strongly advised to maintain well-being.

Feng Shui Tips for 2025: Lucky Colors and Energies
Marites Allen recommends incorporating red and green colors into your surroundings and wardrobe to help balance Wood and Fire elements, promoting personal growth and vitality. Bluesupports prosperity and smooth flow through its connection to the Water element. Purple, associated with wealth and creativity, will enhance personal charisma and attract abundance.

Know Your Lucky and Unlucky Directions in the Year of the Wood Dragon!

The concept of lucky and unlucky directions during Chinese New Year is rooted in traditional Chinese beliefs and Feng Shui, which is an ancient Chinese practice that seeks to align individuals in harmony with their immediate environment. Feng Shui is based on the idea that the arrangement of objects and the direction of energy flow can affect one's well-being, luck, and prosperity.

At the mere mention of feng shui, the name Marites Allen immediately comes to mind by association. The international feng shui consultant, who is celebrating her 20 years of consultancy practice, is popularly regarded as the Philippine Feng Shui Queen. Her level of expertise has reached many parts of Asia and several Western countries including the United Kingdom, which she also calls home. 

At the successful exclusive media conference last November 23 at Manila House Private Members Club, Marites Allen shared many useful and practical tips and insights on how to attract good fortune for the year, showing what are the lucky and unlucky sectors for the Year of the Wood Dragon 2024. 

For 2024, the directions to enhance are the East, Northwest, Northeast, North, and Southwest. “Positive energies are located in these directions, including those that bring wealth and prosperity, love and romance, and future expansion,” says Marites. By aligning oneself with these directions during the New Year, it is believed that individuals can attract good fortune and financial success in the coming year. Her books include helpful tips on how to attract auspiciousness in those areas through feng shui placements and charms.

Conversely, knowing the unlucky directions allows individuals to avoid or minimize exposure to negative energy. In 2024 these directions are in the South, Southeast, Center, and West. If not managed with proper cures, these sectors of the home or business may cause health issues, conflict that could lead to lawsuits, and many forms of unfortunate circumstances. She then offers suggestions on how to prevent or lessen the ill effects of those energies during the year.

The 2024 Marites Allen Horoscope Books dedicate a whole section to a comprehensive discussion on the lucky and unlucky directions for 2024 and how the proper management of these sectors can add to the generally positive prospects in the dynamic Year of the Wood Dragon.
