The Year of the Wood Snake in 2025 is anticipated to bring joy, positivity, and prosperity, according to feng shui master Kenny Hoo. He describes the year as an 'accumulation year', offering opportunities to harness positive energies and predicts significant opportunities in various sectors, including the wood-based industry, medical tourism, metals, real estate, and creative industries. Hoo also highlighted the importance of staying calm and accumulating knowledge in challenging months and strengthening immune systems during specific months.
The Year of the Wood Snake in 2025 marks the second year of a rare 180-year feng shui cycle, beginning on Wednesday (Jan 29), and is expected to usher in an abundance of joy, positivity, and prosperity. Feng shui master Kenny Hoo described the year as an 'accumulation year', offering an opportunity to harness positive energies. 'This is the year of the wood element Snake.
A snake’s nature can seem unpredictable and may feel uncertain, especially when compared to the Dragon, which is considered auspicious. 'In reality, this year also brings festivity and prosperity to everyone. For instance, certain industries may enter a new and better phase,' he said in a recent interview. 'It’s important to know how to maintain balance or adopt an accumulative approach, particularly in carrying out tasks or making decisions.'\From an economic standpoint, Hoo predicted that the Year of the Snake would bring significant opportunities to various sectors, particularly the wood-based industry, medical tourism, metals, real estate, and creative industries, as well as innovation and technology. 'After Malaysia became a partner country of BRICS, it solidified a new international order. Economy-wise, 2025 will be very promising,’ he said. As for the 'accumulation' aspect, Hoo said the months of June, July, September, and October are expected to have a more positive impact. 'Better trends are anticipated during these months, bringing joy, prosperity, and tranquility. Therefore, this is an ideal time to start something new or make big decisions,' he explained. 'February, May, August, and November may pose significant challenges. Therefore, we must stay calm, accumulate knowledge and energy to preserve our good health, and do cross-references as part of risk management,' he said.\From a health perspective, he advised people to strengthen their immune systems, especially in March, September, and December, to prevent illnesses. He also sees growth in the real estate sector, particularly in the northern and southern regions of Peninsular Malaysia, especially in areas involving high-tech industries. Hoo said the 'accumulation year' forecast was based on the anticipated trends and developments expected to unfold this year. 'Every year, I will choose a word to represent what we anticipate for the year, especially in terms of business, finance, economy, and health trends,' he said. Meanwhile, an online entrepreneur who wished to be known only as Endrea shared that every year, she creates garlic decorations for Chinese New Year, which are believed to attract good fortune. 'Not all Chinese people believe in this, only those who follow feng shui practices. I do it because my sister-in-law practices it. She also sells these garlic decorations online,' she said. 'Every Chinese New Year, I make new decorations and hang them in high places in the kitchen,' she added. Endrea explained that her decoration consists of 12 garlic bulbs painted in gold and wrapped in red organza fabric. 'This symbolizes harmony and balance. So we divide the garlic bulbs into two groups of six,' she said, which also means 'to count'. Therefore, the decoration symbolizes the ability to manage finances well, ensuring smooth business dealings and good fortune. Endrea pointed out that the specific dates and times to put up the decorations are between Jan 22 and Tuesday (Jan 28), from 7 am to 11 am, with the precise time varying daily. Although these garlic decorations are available in stores with more elaborate designs, priced between RM70 and RM100 depending on the style, she prefers making them herself for personal satisfaction. Her sister-in-law Ling Ling's Facebook page offers a variety of unique designs that customers have ordered for this Chinese New Year. – Bernam
