2025 Cosmic Weather, Favorable Directions and more.
2025 Year Signature Yi Si 乙巳年
Year signature is 乙巳年 (Yi Si, Year of the Yin Wood Snake). In Chinese astrology, 太歲 (Tai Sui or the Grand Duke/Jupiter) sits in 巳 (SE-by-S), with the clash (歲破) toward 亥 (NW-by-N). If your personal placements/animal zodiac signs tie into Snake/ Pig/ Tiger/ Monkey dynamics, pace yourself around big moves, especially near each Solar Term shifts.
2025 Flying Star Feng Shui 九宮飛星
Health first, wealth follows. This year 2025 mind the NE 東北 position 五黃廉貞 (Star 5, Yellow) and 二黑巨門 (Star 2, Black) at 中宮 (Centre), so: avoid renovations/disturbance in NE; keep center calm; lead with health before wealth. For love and joy, 九紫右弼 (Star 9, Purple) is your lucky direction, it is especially lively during the flying star cycle this year, scheduling launches/celebrations around Solar terms like 立夏/夏至/秋分 (light-balanced windows) can amplify turnout.

Classics to Self Care
The “live-with-the-seasons” blueprint comes from Classic of the Yellow Emperor Huangdi Neijing《黃帝內經·素問·四氣調神大論》. It suggests a general routine through the seasons to rise earlier in spring, conserve energy in winter, open and expand in summer and gather or harvest in autumn. Use it as your self-care spine.
