On February 3, 2025, after 3 pm , we will enter the solar new year of Chinese astrology, the year of the Yin Wood Snake!
Before I take out the Yin Wood element and start analyzing it in general, let me start by presenting the astrological effects for the year with the chart of the year's starting moment.
The chart is as follows:
As we can see, we are transiting on a
Yin Water Day, which makes a beautiful combination with the Yang Earth in the family, school, workplace area. The usual, everyday routine can be combined in 2025 with short trips, team building activities, relocations, new projects, which obviously have a lot to organize. After all, Yin Water is change itself, movement, like the analogy of fog, mist, water drops: once was there, after a few minutes it can evaporate.
That is why the
unpredictability and inability to plan can dominate our days
, the events that come.
It's hard to stay on balance and not get distracted. Our enthusiasm can quickly fade, and we may even find ourselves increasingly
bored and tired of the same old work. It is precisely this that makes us want to flirt with change, to look for more colourful and different agendas in 2025.
By the way, our desire... Desire is a key element in 2025. From the outside world can come tempting offers, financial ideas, entrepreneurial opportunities, which, if you grasp well this year and are willing to fight for your goals, will provide your and your loved ones' most vital needs. The most important good advice in 2025 is in the details and clear communication. The BaZi chart says it will be
easy to misunderstand others, ‘I thought you meant...’ sentences may occur if there is not enough clarification.
In the starting chart, the
full Punishment constellation is set up,
Tiger-Snake-Monkey meeting) which indicates,
we can
overthink and make false assumptions
a lot more, which can also lead us to wrong decisions.
It is as if we are
left in the fog, believing that what we have been promised or what we have believed will happen that way. The English translation of the mirror constellation comes from the word punishment. Of course, punishment is only appropriate when we project our own false assumptions onto others. The good news is that we will (or if we don't want to, our health will force us to) pay more attention to our health. Our intuitions will be heightened, what we didn't know the answer to before, this year the whispering inner voice will turn up the volume.
Let's examine this Fire Mirror, in other words Ungrateful Punishment position, as they each have specific interpretations:
1. Tiger-Snake interaction
We have immediate karmic responses to our choices in terms of work, family and the outside world. If you put yourself out there and dare to show your own creative ideas at work, you can expect very positive rewards from the outside world (in fact, the year will abound with people with helpful intentions, even complete strangers will be supportive), which can be interpreted in financial terms according to the BaZi chart. However, broken promises, harsh, hurtful words or intentions towards others can result in severe financial penalties. The Tiger-Snake can have the greatest emotional impact of all. In a positive sense it is a great gift from heaven, but in a negative aspect we can easily find ourselves in the role of victim, where we only see the other person as to blame.
Those who are now able to leave behind long-established habits that no longer serve them and make the decision to change themselves, are finally taking responsibility for their choices in life. If they do so, they will receive a very quick positive feedback and backing from the outside world. If we don't dare to make the change, life will push us down until it becomes so painful that it is the experience of the pain that is created will cause the final change.
In fact, the longer we stay in negative habit patterns, the more we punish ourselves, not only in terms of feelings of disappointment, but also financially. The mirror position forces change, one way or another. If you're experiencing pressure at work, be aware of this powerful influence, because if you dare to make a move this year, you could make a quantum leap
1. Tiger-Monkey interaction
This is a ‘creator’ position, where you can manifest your creative ideas, bring them down to Earth! Got an idea you've been nurturing? Or have you just come up with a smashing start-up that you're finally living your life's ambition? Do you feel a secret desire to create it? The BaZi chart says this year will give you all the support you need, but note to count on the resistance of time. Time and space reacts much slower than you'd like to see your own project's status. Give time! Impatience can bring up overwanting and even anger for things don't always go according to your plan. The realisation and implementation of your ideas may come up against one single obstacle this year: overindulgence and victim mentality. A lot of travel can come up, even holidays, which will take away from the implemetation of your ideas and goals, keep it in balance! As the Monkey in the hour pillar also refers to children, we need to give them, and ourselves, much more patience and time in parenting. This position draws attention to the danger of accidents and, so be careful of impatience and anger!
3. Snake-Monkey interaction
This interaction also
creates water element, indicating not only emotion but also a change of location.
Moving, traveling, working abroad are all supported. You may have a new goal that requires you to travel abroad, or you may need to give up your familiar living arrangements for a small or longer period of time, which could mean leaving your home environment, your hometown. Childbirth may also bring a greater need for change in this direction. Those who have a child in 2025 may experience the difficulty of balancing a possible move with child-parenting. Obviously, renovating a new environment is an important life event, but a child will force attention and time for themselves, which in turn may require financial sacrifices according to the chart. In this astrological position, be alert to what and how far you go, as you could easily find yourself as a victim of circumstances. Pay attention to detail, it's worth fixing the terms of a trip or move beforehand. You can also take a step in this direction to find a new source of financial income (e.g. starting a business), but be careful how much you spend on your goals and plans, and make a precise financial plan, because the project can easily cost you several times more than you originally planned. This could be a building project or a major trip.
This suggests a typical "stretch until your blanket touches" situation. If you don't, and you slip financially out of line, you may mistakenly project your disappointment onto others. But be aware that all choices are yours, and you can choose even in situations where all circumstances would have you believe you have no choice. Yes you have!
2025 - Travelling Horse symbolic stars
As I mentioned above, 2025 will be
full of travelling and moving, almost at first glance, with the 4(!) Travelling Horse symbolic stars in the BaZi chart. If you can, take advantage of it, as now even those who have not travelled much can set off on a journey. If you don't travel, the energy will be spent in one way or another: if you find yourself
over-thinking, it's time to get into a healthy lifestyle! Exercise and a higher heart rate will help the mind to slow down, in the same way relaxation and meditation will quiet the mind whipped up by emotions.
In external events,
diplomacy and a willingness to compromise are supported.
The Yin Wood is a true survival energy, able to progress and develop while escaping obstacles and conflicts.
In fact, this will be collectively true for everyone a little bit this year. We are not going against the wall as much as we did in 2024, therefore we have the support to direct our communication in a way toachieve our goals.
The Yin Wood can be found in the natal charts of many actors, musicians and stage performers, as it gives us a very flexible personality (and even body). It is worth
enrolling in a dance class, any kind of movement is well recommended, because the Yin Wood helps you move and even learn.
Everyone who is affected by Yin Metal in their natal chart (either in the radix or in the luck pillars!) should start
weightloss programs now, to improve their body composition, because the energy of the Yin Wood is very helpful for this!
Output element as the main profile
The strongest behavioral marker (profile) in the chart is the
Output element. It draws attention to the fact that there are a
lot of ideas waiting to be implemented, and that new ideas in people's lives that have only been imagined so far can gain ground and start to develop. (Output element as a wood element can trigger a huge explosion of ideas that are revolutionary, e.g. robotics, space travel, etc.) Since the wood element and its corresponding output element also set up an astrologycal constellation, there is a high probability that these
developments in people's lives will have an impact at work and in their private lives.
There are already a lot of podcasts, films, lectures and videos available, and now 2025 is giving support and strength to those who didn't have the courage to do so.
Those with the wood element are the strongest in
launching self-expressive ambitions and new ideas, but of course those who lack the wood element can now also put this talent into practice, as the year will carry it within itself.
Karmic changes in work-life
Let's return a little more to this wonderful visual analogy! The
combination of Yang Earth and Yin Water, is just like the meeting of the mist and clouds hugging the mountain peaks:
karmic changes are coming in 2025 in the areas of work, career and family. The year will be full of creative options for change, although there will be far more ideas than implementation, so it's worth consciously focusing on the process of execution itself. This combination will create fire element, along with the motivation to innovate. In many people's lives, this innovation may be a move to a new job, a move abroad, a trip - the point is that there will be a significant change from the current routine. We are fortunate to have the
wood elements resulting more wood elements (the meeting of the Tiger and the Rabbit forming wood trine) to
fuel the fire. We can expect our motivation to last throughout the year, because if it didn't we might get bored or change our minds more quickly.
According to the chart, when the wood element is strongest, February-March, is the time of the most powerful changes in the innovative direction. This is when we need to make life decisions that move us in the right direction. We are faced with choices and decisions in the areas of work, home and family, which may seem forced at first, but whichever path we choose, we can expect fulfilment and progress.
Quantum leap for all
The fire element of the Snake has a transformative power in 2025. As the Snake sheds its skin, we must leave behind old, outdated habits and embrace the new opportunities that come. Emotionally, we are going to school for a year. An extremely sensitizing position, those who have already learned to keep their emotions in alignment will find it easy to overcome obstacles. If you are ready for these changes, if you can hear and listen to your inner voice, if you can help others unconditionally without expecting anything in return, if you can change your own mind before allowing others to put you in an undignified position, prepare for a real quantum leap in 2025! A year that will transform your entire personality is coming.
May you experience the scenery of your life at the highest level of love!
