Year of the Snake 25: Marginal Prognostics (Maelinhon)

Good time of the era!

We have brought an up-to-date marginal forecast for the coming year of the Wooden Snake. It is also Yin Wood on the Snake. You can read previous forecasts for years and months in the thematic section of the Archaic Heart website.

We will start with a small repetition of the material: how seasons are built in metaphysics and how to build an approximate forecast for yourself in relation to them. It is not difficult, you need a short table and a little brains. Seasons and elements are key information in general for understanding the year and period, so we start with them. That is, normally, forecasting is seeing impulses and messages in the elements and time, and not trying to guess how they are realized in practice. We see that in the year there is a conditional impulse for transformation. Or an impulse for connecting parts. Or an impulse to destroy the old. And everyone should estimate this a little for themselves: if the old and obsolete is destroyed, then for me (or in my country, at home, at work) most likely this and that will fly off, and this will remain. And normally, no metaphysician or astrologer will tell you that the refrigerator will definitely break down and your knee will start to hurt, he will tell you what will be under attack, and there everyone has an extensive personal list. So, let’s outline the trends.

Seasons, Signs and the Wheel of the Year (for noobs)

There are 5 dense elements in our world. An element is a flow of planetary energy that passes through all available space and builds layers there, which then move after the planet. Simply put: the planet generates particles (each one its own), and they build like bricks the fabric of existence. The body consists of elemental sections, objects consist of them, but these 5 elements also fill the space itself with Qi energy of a certain frequency. There is wooden Qi, earth Qi, etc. For clarity, imagine that the entire space is filled with 5 types of sounds, for example, medium, high, low, etc., and in each season one type sounds the loudest. And each type of “bricks” reacts to its own wave. The year in the Chinese system is divided into 5 seasons, in each of them one element prevails in space and there are many of them:

— Spring is the season of Wood (Jupiter)
— Summer is the season of Fire (Mars\Sun)
— Autumn is the season of Metal\Air (Venus)
— Winter is the season of Water (Mercury)
— And in the off-season, Earth (Saturn) is active.

Accordingly, each season brings certain changes, an influx of energy and problems. Qi energy moves in a circle, it has 12 phases from the weakest to the strongest and back. These 12 phases move endlessly in a circle of seasons – a year consists of 12 segments and every 12 years the whole “wheel” changes globally, therefore in the first sign of the circle (year/month of the Tiger) there is the least energy, and in the last (year/month of the Ox) there is the most of it. At the end of the cycle, the wheel is reset and starts moving again from the “zero” mark. Changes and new things in the life of the planet appear in the Tiger and then begin to take hold over the course of 12 years. That is, in the year of the Tiger and in the year of the Rabbit we “sow” the seeds of new beginnings and break the old ones, in the year of the Dragon they fall into the ground and begin to grow. And then until the end of the cycle we “reap the harvest”. This is the first and key information for understanding what the Year of the Dragon is: in it, all sewn affairs, undertakings and problems grow.

Qi moves in a circle all year, passing through 12 phases that form the Wheel of the Year and all the pagan holidays of the calendar. That is, ALL polytheists celebrate the same thing, but under different names. But in essence, it is one system. On Imbolc, the Qi energy flows into the atmosphere, on Ostara it is fixed and sown, on Beltane it begins to ear, it ripens by Litha, it ripens on Lughnasadh and by Mabon we have a harvest of events and lines. On Samhain, the energy in space freezes and begins to decline, on Yule it stops and begins to leave the atmosphere like spent, dirty fuel. And on Imbolc, which coincides with the Chinese New Year, fresh, clean Qi comes. This is how the Wheel of the Year system works, use it in your plans and decisions, and you will immediately remove up to 50 percent of your problems.

In the life of each person there are also 12 spheres, that is, your finances will be, for example, in the Horse, and family and children – in the Tiger, and in accordance with the characteristics of the sign, everyone will have different parameters of luck and givens in different sectors of life. And through these spheres ALSO flows energy, in a circle.

Just in case, I will remind you once again that your sign according to the Chinese horoscope is the DAY of your birth, not the year, and that everyone has four signs, not one.

The element and sign of the day are considered the main ones, in relation to them we estimate whether this or that business or period is useful for us or not. Let’s say, if you are a weak water element, and a very intense fire period is rolling in the season, then you will begin to “dry up”, like a small stream in a drought. And if you are a wood element, then during periods of water influx you will be better off. Yes, everything is an element and you behave approximately like your element: a tree grows and does not move, bears fruit, water feeds trees, mountains stand motionless, etc.

The 5 elements, in turn, are divided into 2 polarities, Yin and Yang, and therefore we have variations of this element – civil and marginal.

The cycle is completely tied to the planets and nature, that is, months and years begin when space begins to warm up, cool down, snow or rain seasons begin, all sorts of ducks fly to hell, etc. They are guided by the sensations of space, not by the calendar. That is why the year does not begin at 00:00 on December 31. Like everything in nature, it rolls in like a gradient, 10 days before the date when the new element begins to replace the old one. This is what “it smells like spring” is.

Seasons and Elements in Metaphysics:

Spring:

— February — Tiger — Yang Wood — Jupiter — energies 1 (minimum)
— March — Rabbit — Yin Wood — Jupiter — energies 2
— April — Dragon — Yang Earth — Saturn — energies 3 — off-season

Summer:

— May — Snake — Yin Fire — Mars — energies 4
— June — Horse — Yang Fire — Sun\Uranus — energies 5
— July — Goat — Yin Earth — Saturn — energies 6 — off-season

Autumn:

— August — Monkey — Yang Metal — Venus — energies 7
— September — Rooster — Yin Metal — Venus — energies 8
— October — Dog — Yang Earth — Saturn — energies 9 — off-season

Winter:

— November — Pig — Yin Water — Mercury — energies 10
— December — Rat — Yang Water — Mercury — energies 11
— January — Ox — Yin Earth — Saturn — energies 12 (peak) — off-season

Each planet in the cycle has 1 main aspect to some second planet, that is, every month and year we have a main planet (for example, in 2025 this is Mars), and there is its main partner. This is where Earth Oxen and other Metal Horses come from. I think you already understood the logic. Horse = Sun, Metal = aspect with Venus. Snake is the sign of Mars, so the key planet of the year is Mars, and the accompanying one is Jupiter.
Accordingly, the Year of the Wooden Snake 2025 is Jupiter + Mars, a combination of Yin Fire and Wood.

Knowing this division and googling a couple of tables of correspondence of organs and systems with the elements, you can already roughly estimate that in the fire season your heart problems may worsen, and in the water season there will be an influx of money. Everyone has something different.

The point of the forecast is that events in the world and in ourselves ALSO move along this cycle. Probability lines and event branches are laid in the first year of the cycle and then for 12 years they change reality month by month, so that by the arrival of the new cycle they will be reset again and new events will begin. In this regard, the Tiger and Rabbit are the most difficult years. When the old has fallen away, there is a minimum of energy in space, and new events are also pouring in, many people die, and the givens collapse. There is an opinion that new trends actually come in the years of minimum energy, so that we do not have the strength to resist them. Jupiter is a very evil planet, in fact, and very cruel: both of its signs drive new things into life with boots and an unkind word, because Jupiter is a planet that “legalizes” everything new in space. Old people, the sick, and simply sensitive people often do not survive these thresholds, which is why statistically more people die in February-March and in the years of the Tiger and Rabbit than in other periods.

After them comes the Dragon, on which what was sown “rises”, and in the year of the Snake, the sprouts of new lines begin to bloom.

This is the material part that all astrologers and lovers of discussing the “eastern horoscope” sorely lack. Now – the forecast.

Year of the Wood Snake 2025 – Forecast

The Year of the Snake begins on the afternoon of February 3, 2025. Yes, it does not begin on December 31, as many people for some reason think. And, as we have already found out, it does not begin exactly to the minute: from the 20th of December 2024, all processes will fade away and there will be some calm. Then, from January 15 to January 20, 2025, the new year will gradually “begin to begin” – this process stretches from the end of January to mid-February. That is why the Chinese can officially celebrate the Chinese New Year on any of these days, when it is more convenient for them according to their work and days. So please refrain from questions in the spirit of “but you have written the 3rd, but in China it is the 12th!” February 3 is the peak point of Qi entering the atmosphere, that is, the astro-metaphysical new year, and not the calendar one in China.

The very first thing we need to know about the Snake is the fact that the Snake is one of the “four horsemen of change” in metaphysical cycles. There are signs that bring changes and there are signs that consolidate the path they have traveled. Events and changes accumulate in people and probability lines gradually, and they are not realized constantly, but only in certain signs. That is, there are 4 doors for the new on the highway – Tiger, Snake, Monkey and Pig. In these signs, accumulated changes are included in reality and generate new lines, events and everything new that will happen to us further. Accordingly, in the Dragon, Goat, Dog and Ox they are audited by Saturn and consolidated in reality.

In the years of “variable” animals, transformations occur globally, in months – locally. In February, May, August and November, local changes occur. Remember, for example, 2019, the year of the Pig – Lockdown, Covid. 2022, the year of the Tiger – wars. In 2025, we enter the next transformation window – the Snake, and new windows will be in 2028 and 2031.

Considering that these 4 signs bring changes in the conflicting elements, they collide with each other, since their changes are in different directions, and a car cannot have 4 motors pulling in different directions. Therefore, the Snake with the Pig forms boiling water and overheats water elements, the Tiger with the Monkey causes a conflict that hits the Tree, and the Tiger-Snake-Monkey together cause fires and explosions at all levels. At all – this is from world and geopolitical events – to your liver or relationships. Since the entire element is a single canvas of elements, then if it is under attack, it all fails at once. Bad for the elements in the internal organs, and the areas of life where it is and the objects around you. Therefore, during a collision there may be, for example, a collapse of equipment and transport, or many fires around the world, and at the same time a huge wave of exacerbations of certain diseases.

The Tiger and Pig, Snake and Monkey merge in a similar way, they are friends in pairs against the rest, so the problems associated with these four in the map are usually the most difficult to solve. But all of them can also carry a lot of positive influences, so there is no need to be sad.

The Wooden Snake sign itself is a soft fire, a flashlight and light that brings changes through Mars and its cut. Therefore, the symbol of the 25th year is a flashlight. Mars is characterized by the fact that it conducts Qi through the body, nourishes the heart, brain, nervous and circulatory systems, as well as the small intestine and oral cavity. The planet itself provides peaks of anything – mood, relationships, events, emotions … That is, Mars is not equal to war, as pop astrology likes to say, it’s just that war is equal to the peak of a certain conflict. If you were telling a long joke and at the peak people started laughing – this is also Mars. Orgasm is Mars. The peak of joy and happiness is Mars. The apogee of the plot in the film is also it. Any peaks and highest points are it. From which we can conclude that the wave of changes sown by the Tiger in the Snake will reach its peak and then go on to increase the harvest in the 26th year (this will be the Horse).

So this is… the year of peaks. Therefore, most likely there may be peaks of discontent, and stripping of threads on tightly tightened nuts, and all that. What has been accumulating for a long time will reach its apogee and explode. The toughest months in this regard are February, May and August, although it also happens that changes are implemented a little late.

2025 is likely to be full of unexpected events and sudden changes, as well as the continuation of wars, including civil ones. It feels very sharp, with unpredictable changes-throws that are difficult to predict. Something more stable will most likely come from 2026 and later.

On a happier note, let’s talk about the good things!

The first thing that catches your eye is that the year will be super successful for those who work with technology and, so to speak, the masses and their education. That is, yin fire is very favorable to psychologists, engineers, teachers of all stripes, programmers and related professions, in particular businesses related to technology and advertising, SEO, social networks, public speaking and mass media. In such a year, it is simply ideal to open and implement something that will educate and improve people, as well as technical projects. All this will develop like never before, because this is a year of light and Jupiter approves of it. In the second half of 2025, there may be major technical discoveries and cool positive changes related to electronics, technology, medicine and engineering of all kinds.

It will be very useful to invest in projects related to all this, as well as in everything related to education and mass participation – advertising, SEO, development of book publishing and social networks, seminars, studies, video services and so on. The year of spiritual balance, so working with a psychotherapist and simply on yourself will be easier and more effective than before. So here’s some advice: be brave and even impudent. The Snake patronizes adventurers, daredevils and mass participation.

On the one hand, the year is dedicated to the theme of respect and the desire for respect (including oneself), and on this note it can also carry aggression: if they do not respect for free, then we will make them respect by force. On the other hand, if respect is deserved, then everyone who brings knowledge, enlightenment, gathers halls and followers, making life better – in the plus. They can hit the jackpot due to previously accumulated changes and invested labor and resources.
There are 4 signs, for whom this year will be better than others: first of all, it is Yang Metal and Yang Water (the day on which the dimut was born), and weaker, but still a big boost for Yin Wood and Yang Fire. If these elements are in other pillars, then the influx of goodies and open doors can be there, but locally. For example, only in the sphere of work or family. Also, those who have a Monkey (without a Tiger) or a combination of Horse and Goat feel good. The year brings fire, so it is useful for those who have a minus imbalance, especially if there are problems with nerves, heart, blood vessels and low blood pressure.

The Snake sign is dangerous and problematic for two categories of citizens: those who have a Pig in their chart and those who have a combination of a Tiger and a Monkey. And for everyone else in those areas where these animals are. That is, you may have a Pig, for example, in the Palace of Friends or Finances, then the problems may be local only there, and not in life in general. It may also be unpleasant for those who have an excess of fire and illnesses such as hypertension.

The year 2024 was traumatic for men, male energy and yang organs of the body – the external, hard, convex parts of the body, the back of the body. As well as for men in the family, their connections and relationships: sons, fathers, grandfathers, brothers and all the relationships that are between them suffered.

But 2025 will be a traumatic year for female energy, female connections in the family and yin organs – internal, soft, hollow, small parts of the body, the stomach and the front half. Mothers, daughters, grandmothers and sisters, the relationships between them will require a special approach and participation, more love and patience. If you are covered with such problems and conflicts, go for a walk in the forest, put flowers in any form, take care of plants and slow down. Give bouquets to women, give them to yourself, even if you are a man. This will balance the severity of what is happening.

Forecast for the 25th year by month.

February — The nastiest month, getting stuck and losing, everything is sluggish and at the same time catastrophic, avoid large purchases, investments, important steps — everything will go to waste.

March – Avoid surgeries and operations. There may be an increase in diseases and depression, as well as a lack of energy.

April — A good month, good events and enlightenment in business, useful for a career and medical affairs, the implementation of plans and undertakings.

May — A bad month, the snake brings a collision of wood and metal, which gives a huge risk of accidents and transport problems, as well as blows during any movement. The first month, bringing the risk of fires and explosions in everyday life. If it covers, we fight back with the Monkey or a triple merger.

June A good month, brings a lot of romance and an excellent period for studying, working with people, opening businesses and investing. Nain in the wood of the month feeds the year and we get a double resource.

July – Also a good month, except that there may be problems with documents and bureaucracy.

August — Brings depression and emptiness, a feeling that everything is in vain. This month it is advisable to give up alcohol and in no case start scandals and showdowns (it will end up in traumatology at the very least). Avoid the sun and fire, check the gas and all that. In August it is better to fill yourself with something good, for the soul, so to speak. If you are covered, merge the Monkey with the Rooster and Dog.

September — A conflict month, metal and wood collide, anger and sadness are in the atmosphere at the same time. People may have inadequate outbursts of emotions, so it is worth avoiding scandals. If you are covered, wear the Dragon.

October — Nain in tiles, and this is good for the snake. The energy of the month brings insight and discovery of everything that you were looking for and that was hidden. Many have active Luan, so there will be an improvement in personal life, dating, marriages and love in general.

November — A month of conflict to the year, therefore it brings a lot of fire. This is good for creativity, travel and some one-time, powerful jerks. Bad for those with cardiovascular diseases and kidneys.

December — An excellent month, a lot of everything in general and on all fronts. It feels festive and filled more than it usually is under Yule.

General advice for everyone, Feng Shui, amulets:

— The whole year there will be more positivity on the southern sides of rooms and houses. Move your bed and desk to the southern or south-east corner of the room. Do not stay in the Northern (any) sectors for a long time and especially do not sleep there. This will significantly reduce health problems and the severity of events.

— The year is fiery, so it can cause problems with overheating, and if you have such, then spend more time near water and in water. It is not necessary to drink liters of it inside, you can sit by a river or lake, the sea, cool off on a subtle level. You can take warm baths with salt, this will balance the balance.

— You can also do upayas to Mercury for water and to Mars to harmonize the fire. Upayas to Jupiter this year will help you well in gaining the status you need, legalizations and openings of large affairs, gathering events, etc.

— If you are melting, wear black, blue, violet and earth tones — chocolate, brown, beige, yellow. White or silver is also possible. Lay down bed linen only in blue/light blue tones or black, this will help cool down on a subtle level during sleep. Do not wear or use clothes and fabrics of red, burgundy, pink colors, in general the whole range will drag x10 fire.

— Pay attention to how you usually spend the months of May. The same reality will be in 2025.

— Amulet of the year. Technically, it is the Monkey, but due to the paired clash, it is better to use it carefully and only if there are obvious problems. Just wearing the Monkey to everyone is a bad idea. It is better to get out of the clash of the Snake with the Pig with the Tiger. If you have a triple combination of Tiger-Snake-Monkey, we take any of them out of the conflict into a triple fusion. Figure out which element you have the least and neutralize it.

If you have little Wood, then we take the Tiger into Wood with amulets with the Rabbit and Dragon. We take the Snake into Fire – with the Horse and Goat. We take the Monkey into Metal with the Rooster and Dog.

— Do not give or use calendars and other junk “with the symbol of the year”. Doubling the year sign does not bring anything good, especially if the map ALREADY contains all sorts of troubles and ready-made snakes.

I wish you all successful changes, easy transformations and a good year!
