A YEAR WHEN VIGILANCE AND STRATEGIC THINKING ARE NEEDED
The Paht Chee chart of 2025 is an unbalanced one as there is too much Wood and Water, and Metal is completely missing. The lack of Metal means that the year is short on resource luck – the most important kind of luck for progress and success to occur. When you don’t have the resources, even the best ideas have a hard time gaining traction. Address this shortfall by placing the Cow & Calf Resource Luck Enhancer anywhere in your home. You can also introduce metal decór, wear jewellery made of precious metals and don clothing in the colors white, gold and silver.
Our super popular WOFS Lucky Messenger Bags and Wealth Wallets for 2025 come in the most luxurious metallic hues for this exact reason, making them the ideal accessories for balancing the year’s energies and attracting great prosperity.
Another fabulous Metal element energiser is the 2025 Annual Amulet, as it features the Ox, the Snake and the Rooster; the Intellectual Allies who collectively draw in abundant Metal chi. Since this is a Snake year, carrying an image of the Snake with its allies activates friendship luck and attracts loyal supporters onto your side as well. Essential in a year when competition can get fierce!
YIN ENERGIES DOMINATE
With 1 Yang Pillar and 3 Yin Pillars, the year ahead is expected to be more subdued compared to the year before, when all of the four Pillars were Yang. This, however, creates a different kind of imbalance. With Yin energies heavily outweighing the Yang, there is real danger of stagnation, apathy and demotivation. The Illness Star 2 in the centre of the year’s Flying Star chart causing sickness and widespread lethargy doesn’t bode well either. Counter this by placing the Yang More Than Yin Mirror in the centre of your home and wearing the Healing Snake Mantra Ring.
DOUBLE LAP CHUN
The silver lining is that the year enjoys a double Lap Chun – one at the start of the year and one at the end. This indicates a double whammy of Spring energies bringing new opportunities, growth, transformation and vast wealth. Businesses that focus on diversification will prosper, while those wishing to climb the career ladder will find opportunities ripe for the picking. Maximise the effects of this very lucky indication by inviting the Trio of Birds Lap Chun Enhancer into your office or living space.
THE SELF-ELEMENT, WATER IMPACTS RELATIONSHIPS
The self-element of the year is WEAK YIN WATER, which suggests that generally, people will be friendlier and more open to collaborating with one another. This being a Lunar Leap Year also places a double 6th lunar month in the month of the Sheep. The Sheep then combines with the Rabbit in the Day Pillar and Boar in the Hour Pillar to form the Diplomatic Allies. We can thus predict a high chance of peace and increased collaboration in the months from June to August.
Other elemental considerations however, point to things becoming fairly competitive around the Winter months of November, December and January, 2026. Prepare yourselves for this by forging strong alliances and garnering loyal support well in advance. Carry the Good Rapport Amulet or use the Secret Friend Dual Wrist Pouches in 2025 to boost networking and ally luck.
CLASHES & AFFINITIES
While there are no clashes in the Heavenly Stems, we see 1 direct clash and 2 affinity combinations in the Earthly Branches of the chart.
The Snake in the Year Pillar forms a direct clash with the Boar in the Hour Pillar. Because this involves both ends of the chart, there can be significant conflict between the very young and the very old, leading to intergenerational strain within the family. Remedy this clash by placing the Four Element Cross Mirror anywhere in your home and carrying the amulet version. This will harmonise the clashing energies by completing the 4 element zodiac group made up of the Snake, Tiger, Boar and Monkey, and bring unity and supreme wealth instead.
The Rabbit in the Day Pillar combining with the Boar in the Hour Pillar brings strong diplomacy to the year. It also suggests improved understanding and harmony between parents and children. Invite the Three Sheep on Mountain into your home to strengthen this affinity and to create new avenues for success.
The Tiger and Boar Secret Friend affinity between the Hour and Month Pillars brings significant benefits to youngsters who seek the counsel of grandparents and older generations. With the wisdom and guidance of the elderly, the younger generation will successfully navigate challenges and seize opportunities. Place Pu Hsien Pusa on Elephant in the South to improve filial piety and to promote open communication between the generations.
NOTABLE STARS IN 2025
There are 6 stars from the Paht Chee chart influencing the year:
The Fortune Noble Star indicates a year of improved integrity and morality.
This star encourages individuals to act with honor and fairness. It fosters an environment where doing the right thing becomes a natural choice. Decisions will be driven by a heightened sense of conscience.
The Nobleman Star brings help from influential people.
This star symbolizes a life of power, comfort and wealth. It is the kind of star that injects optimism into your soul and brings the support of influential people who can assist and elevate you, making it easier to achieve good results quickly. The Chinese call this star Tian Yi Gui Ren, which carries the meaning “Heavenly lord who provides assistance”. Carry the Jade Emperor Gui Ren Amulet to activate.
The Scholastic Brilliance Star ushers in fresh new ideas.
This marks the third consecutive year with the Scholastic Brilliance Star, so we will continue to see great advances in tech and science. New talents will appear, paving the way for significant breakthroughs. Scholarly achievements will also stand out. Capture the luck of this year’s Scholastic Brilliance Star for yourself by placing the 7-Level Scholastic Pagoda in the West.
The Aggressive Sword Star warns of violence and aggression.
The Aggressive Sword Star or Yang Ren represents the “sharp blade of Yang essence that inflicts damage”. It brings the potential of bloodshed and violence, and fosters defiance among the youth. Protect by carrying the Four Weapons Protection Amulet or wearing the Hot Air Balloon Scarf.
The Travelling Horse Star continues to fuel wanderlust.
This star appears for the fourth year in a row, suggesting that people will continue to travel extensively for work and leisure. The airline, travel and hospitality sectors will be active, spurred on by increased global trade, and the rapid exchange of ideas and cultures. There are, however, dangers whenever this star appears alongside other auspicious stars in the chart. Travel protection amulets will help!
The Golden Carriage Star brings good fortune to those getting married.
This is an excellent year to get married. The appearance of this star suggests the potential to marry above one’s social status.
