The Year 2025 is Yi Si according to the 10,000-year calendar.

Fire energy is extremely strong in 2025.

Yin Fire element found in the Snake dominates the second half of the year. A fire element which brings warmth and movements.

The influence of wood and fire elements in 2025 will trigger the equity market to bring unexpected changes in a fast and furious way. We may see equity markets gaining strength between August and November when fire elements show its influence.

Market is likely to see the biggest impact in November when the year element clashes with the month element. Market is likely to lose its steam as it approaches December.

Travelling agencies, logistics, transportation, media, oil, energy, hospitality, real estates and medical are amongst the industries that will benefit from this set of elements. Those who invested in the precious metals will continue to see profits during the first half of the year.

For 2025, the wealth star lands in the Southwest, East and Southeast region. Therefore, it would be good to stay focused on the Southwest, East and Southeast countries for your wealth opportunities and investments. Or have these locations decluttered in your space for the wealth energies to circulate. Southwest is a good location for those who loves having water features in 2025. Personally, I rather go for a lamp to bring forth the light in this wealth sector.

One can expects the lesser tensions amongst the countries that are going through wars in the last couple of years. And hopefully, those who are having conflicts will resolve peacefully in 2025.

This causes contamination, stagnancy with intense challenges or demanding obstacles. More earthquakes can be seen in this region.

Grand Duke is still in the Southeast sector while the yearly star 1 resides there in 2025. One gets to enjoy recognition by sitting this location. The best location for students taking exams and those seeking fame or popularity. Hacking and drilling should be avoided at all costs for a peaceful year while using the Southeast sector.

3 Killings, the robber star is in the East with star 9 which is also the wealth star allows one to harness the wealth energy when facing towards this direction. It’s important to avoid hacking and drillings in this location throughout the year which can bring misfortune when triggered.
