About the Chinese Zodiac

In Chinese astrology, the zodiac is based on a 12-year cycle, with each year represented by a specific animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. In contrast, Western astrology categorizes zodiac signs based on 12 months of the year, each linked to a constellation along the ecliptic. The Western zodiac signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

Deeply rooted in Chinese culture, the Chinese zodiac offers a fascinating lens for understanding personality, relationships, and fortune. For generations, it has guided people with insights into luck, health, wealth, and social connections for the year ahead. Today, this timeless tradition continues to inspire people across regions, seamlessly blending ancient wisdom with modern curiosity.

The Year of Snake: 2025 Chinese Zodiac Predictions

2025 Chinese Zodiac Prediction: Rat

Born in year: 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948, 1936, 1924

Overall Fortune: Good ★★★
The overall fortune for those born in the year of the Rat is good. Those born under the Rat zodiac will receive protection from many auspicious energies. While there might be some minor interpersonal relationship problems and family issues, the overall fortune is relatively stable and smooth.

However, in the second half of the year, Grandmaster JinBodhi saw a yellow energy floating in the air of the Rat zodiac during his predictions. This yellow energy can manifest differently for different individuals. For individuals with strong karmic merit and deep-rooted virtues, they may gain benefits like financial gains, career advancements and recognition. Conversely, individuals with weaker virtuous energy may face challenges and minor setbacks such as minor injuries, bad luck, and conflicts with others.

• Career:
  Overall, very good as your career is primed for positive development! You’re likely to receive recognition and promotion. While there may be small friction between colleagues, however these will not significantly impact your progress.
  Gentle Reminder: It’s recommended to be diligent and proactive. Avoid tardiness or leaving work early and avoid being overly concerned over personal benefits. This way you’ll ensure a safe and more prosperous path.
  
• Wealth:
  As you enter the Year of the Snake, your primary income will remain stable, with noticeable improvements compared to previous years. This year, your financial situation will become significantly more comfortable and abundant than before.

It’s a great time to find a partner and make friends. For those who are married or in a committed relationship, it is important to spend more time together and maintain an emotional connection.

Born in year: 2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952, 1940, 1928

Overall Fortune: Good ★★★
The overall fortune for those born in the Year of the Dragon is good. Entering the Year of the Snake, a lucky star will shine upon the dragon, bringing good luck and favorable outcomes. Things will go according to your wishes, with both career and wealth advancing. However, the romance and health fortune is weaker.

• Wealth:
  Among the 12 zodiacs, the Dragon has the best wealth luck.
  
• Relationships:
  It is not very ideal for the dragons. For those who are single, there might be opportunities for romance after June, but in 2025, romantic prospects will be limited. In other words, there’s a chance for romance, but this energy feels fleeting. Those looking for a partner should always stay prepared for romantic opportunities; for those who already have a partner or family, it is important to show more care, tolerance, and respect to strengthen their relationships.
  
• Health:

Born in year: 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965, 1953, 1941, 1929

Overall fortune: Low ★☆☆
The overall fortune for those born in the Year of the Snake is unstable. This year is your personal Zodiac Year, and you clash with the Tai Sui God. While this may sound concerning, it’s important to note that every zodiac sign faces its own Tai Sui clash once every 12 years—occurring at ages 12, 24, 36, and so on.

As a summary, this year will be more challenging as you might encounter traffic problems, injuries, or relationship challenges. Avoid activities like mountain biking downhill, skiing on dangerous peaks, or bungee jumping.

• Career:
  In terms of career, your power and status may increase this year. However, the influence of the Tai Sui God may limit the scale of your promotion. For example, you might have expected to be promoted three levels but only advance by one.
  
• Wealth:
  A God of Fortune draws near, bringing some financial luck. While things may not be very smooth, you will still have money to spend. Although this is your personal Zodiac Year and other aspects might seem dim, there is still a faint glimmer of financial gain.
  
• Relationships:
  Generally, the relationship fortune will not be smooth. There may be trouble in interpersonal relationships, thus learn to respect, tolerate, and care for your family. For those who are single, the chance for romance is low. You may need to try again next year.
  
• Health:
  In terms of health, there could be issues with the legs and head, therefore pay attention to traffic safety.

2025 Chinese Zodiac Prediction: Goat

Born in year: 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967, 1955, 1943, 1931

Overall fortune: Average ★★☆
The fortune for those born in the Year of the Goat is average, with many fluctuations. Calamity stars could bring negative influences on your health, family, and interpersonal relationships, potentially causing conflicts. On the bright side, there may be some developments in career and wealth.

2025 Chinese Zodiac Prediction: Monkey

Born in year: 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, 1944, 1932

Overall fortune: Low ★☆☆
The overall fortune for those born in the Year of the Monkey is low. The Monkey clashes with the Tai Sui God in two ways: punishment and destruction. As a result, you may encounter random obstacles, setbacks, and disruptions. The situation is not ideal. However, despite the challenges, you will ultimately navigate through safely.

Gentle Reminder: People born under the Monkey zodiac should avoid water-related activities, such as going to the sea, riversides, or swimming pools. It is advisable to minimize contact with water and avoid going to places with heavy negative energy, as they may pose risks.

• Career:
  Regarding career, this is not a year to seek advancement. It is recommended to focus on navigating through the Year of the Snake safely and smoothly.
  
• Wealth:
  In terms of wealth, there is a risk of financial losses, so it is advisable to safeguard your assets and avoid unnecessary risks.
  
• Relationships:
  In relationships, the outlook is quite average and ordinary. Couples might face small arguments or disagreements, without a clear reason. These arguments can also arise between spouses, parents, siblings and children, creating unnecessary tension. It is simply an unfortunate year in this regard. While it’s not the easiest year for relationships, single individuals still have a chance to find love.
  
• Health:
  In terms of health, it is important to be cautious and watch out for potential injuries, especially when driving, walking, or working, as trouble can arise unexpectedly. The Monkey zodiac individuals tend to act quickly, which can lead to accidents. Therefore, be mindful of your movements, surroundings, and other people, as well as the presence of animals in your environment. In addition, pay special attention to skin and respiratory health.

2025 Chinese Zodiac Prediction: Rooster

Born in year: 2017, 2005, 1993, 1981, 1969, 1957, 1945, 1933

Overall fortune: Average ★★☆
The overall fortune for those born in the Year of the Rooster is average. While there may be fluctuations in luck throughout the year, outcomes are expected to stabilize overall.

Gentle Reminder: Individuals of the Rooster zodiac often act impulsively before thinking thoroughly of the incident or situation. This impulsiveness may lead to overthinking small details or losing sight of the bigger picture. While this trait can be beneficial for tasks requiring precision, like research, it may be problematic in leadership roles.
For Rooster-born individuals, the lesson is to consider a bigger picture, and strive to evaluate the overall situation, instead of focusing solely on one detail or aspect. It is advised to continuously learn and practice balancing attention to detail with a broader perspective. By developing this skill, they can improve their decision-making and approach challenges more effectively.

• Career:
  Career prospects are favorable this year, with opportunities for recognition and advancement. There is a high likelihood of salary increases, along with potential increase in authority and position. Additionally, it’s easier to gain approval from superiors, making this a promising year for professional growth.
  
• Wealth:
  In terms of wealth, your primary income will remain steady, and you may enjoy some surplus wealth. However, unexpected income is unlikely, and even if it does come, it may not last. A vision illustrates this clearly: a hand tries to catch a goldfish swimming slowly in a pool of water. Just as the fish comes within reach, it slips away, illustrating that opportunities for side income may be fleeting and difficult to retain.
  
• Relationships:
  In terms of relationships, romantic prospects are favourable, offering many opportunities for connection. It is certainly a good chance for the singles to find a partner, while those in committed relationships should be mindful of the increased romantic energy and avoid potential misunderstandings. The key is to show care, understanding, and love towards your partner. Demonstrating care, understanding, and affection toward one’s partner is essential for maintaining harmony and strengthening bonds.
  
• Health:
  Health prospects may not be ideal, with an increased risk of accidents. Therefore, it is imperative to prioritize safety, particularly during travel.

2025 Chinese Zodiac Prediction: Dog

Born in year: 2018, 2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958, 1946, 1934

Overall fortune: Average ★★☆
The overall fortune for those born in the Year of the Dog is average, and relatively stable. During the first two months after the Lunar New Year, January and February, as well as around November and December, it is crucial to pay attention to traffic safety. Prepare ahead of time by avoiding alcohol consumption and refraining from driving when drowsy.

Around September, you may face some important decisions. It is essential to remain steady and avoid being reckless or greedy. In other aspects, the year is generally favorable.

• Career:
  The career prospects are good and positive for career development. It is easier to gain recognition and promotions from superiors, and your relationships with colleagues are harmonious. Team collaboration is also strong, which will contribute to your professional success.
  
• Wealth:
  Financially, your fortune is relatively stable. Your regular income shows growth, and your efforts may be noticed by your superiors. A raise or bonus is possible, leading to natural financial growth. However, opportunities for side income are limited, so it is advisable to be cautious with investments and make wise decisions.
  
• Relationships:
  In terms of relationships, romantic luck is exceptionally strong. For singles, there are high chances of finding love. For those who are already in a relationship or married, it’s important to communicate more and spend more quality time together with your partner to strengthen your bond.
  
• Health:
  Overall, good health status, everything is quite positive.

2025 Chinese Zodiac Prediction: Pig

There will be ups and downs across various aspects of life, including career, relationships, and family, making it a less peaceful year overall.

• Career:
  Regarding career, you may encounter various family issues that could directly affect your work, leading to minimal progress. As a result, in the Year of the Snake, those born under the Pig zodiac are advised not to seek gains but instead focus on navigating the year safely.

  In terms of relationships, there will not be much progress. Family troubles could trap you and may easily lead to relationship issues. For single individuals, the chances of finding love in the Year of the Snake are low.
  
• Health:
  In terms of health, there is a risk of injuries, and special attention should be given to digestive and urinary health.
  

2025 Chinese Zodiac: Ways to Overcome Challenges

1. Cultivate a kind & grateful heart

● Embrace gratitude and contentment
In years when challenges outweigh blessings, cultivating gratitude and contentment is essential. A grateful mindset broadens your perspective, helping you find joy in the midst of difficulties. By focusing on the positives, you can transform setbacks into opportunities for growth for growth, building resilience and navigating life’s challenges with greater ease.

● Choose kindness
Good fortune stems from the accumulation of merits and virtues. Though intangible, merits play a crucial role in shaping your health, happiness, and destiny. Those with a foundation of virtue often enjoy longer lifespans, prosperous careers and fulfilling lives. Therefore, to shift your luck, actively engage in good deeds. By building virtues, you pave the way to unlocking a brighter and more abundant future.

2. Wear auspicious dharma treasures for protection

The Year of the Snake is marked by strong wind and fire energies. Thus, expect longer summers and higher temperature. This domination of wind and fire elements disrupt the usual cooling process, potentially causing water shortages and health challenges.

Health Concerns in 2025

The intense wind energy may lead to increased susceptibility to colds, flu, and similar ailments while the heat energy could cause throat discomfort, sensory issues, insomnia, headaches, and anxiety.

Balancing Energies with Auspicious Colors

To counteract the fiery and intense energies in the year of 2025, Grandmaster JinBodhi recommends incorporating the auspicious colours blue, green and white into our daily lives:

• Blue: Symbolizes the ocean and the universe, representing boundless and immense energy
• Green: Represents growth and rejuvenation, counteracting fiery dryness and fostering clarity and wisdom.
• White: Provides a refreshing energy that soothes the lungs, clears the liver, and brightens the eyes. It helps to clear all blockages, obstacles, and stagnation.

Feel free to browse our collection of dharma treasures specially blessed by Grandmaster JinBodhi, which can offer protection and peace to you and your family in the upcoming Year of the Snake.

3. Pacify the Tai Sui God

In Chinese culture, the Tai Sui God governs the annual cycle of fortune and misfortune in the human world. Each year, certain Chinese zodiac signs clash with the Tai Sui God, making them more prone to challenges throughout the year, such as illness, financial loss, and in severe cases they may encounter disasters.

Zodiac Clashing with Tai Sui in 2025

In 2025, individuals born in the Year of Snake enter their personal Zodiac Year, which is often challenging. Additionally, those born under the signs of the Pig, Tiger and Monkey may face difficulties due to clashes with the Tai Sui God.

The Importance of Light Offerings

To neutralize these conflicts, we can offer lights with reverence at the start of the Lunar New Year. This actpacifies the Tai Sui God in charge of the year, neutralizes any energy conflicts, dispels disasters, and invites peace, harmony, and blessings. Making light offering before January 29, 2025 (Lunar New Year’s Day) ensures early blessings and protection for the year ahead! Embrace this practice to navigate 2025 with greater ease and positivity.

4. Gilding the Thousand-Armed-and-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva

Another way to ensure protection in 2025 is by gilding the Thousand-Armed-and-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva, who embodies great compassion. The bodhisattva’s thousand hands symbolize protection of all beings, while the thousand eyes represent her ability to observe and care for the entire world. Like a nurturing mother, the bodhisattva protects all beings, saving them from danger and ensuring all those who offer to her protection from disasters, and ensuring peace and auspiciousness!

For those whose zodiac sign clashes with the Tai Sui God in 2025,offering to the Thousand-Armed-and-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva can invite the bodhisattva’s divine protection, eliminate obstacles, resolve conflicts, and provide a safe and harmonious passage through the year.

Conclusion

Each year brings its own changes, and the fortunes of every Chinese zodiac follow unique patterns. Whether this year’s journey feels smooth or comes with challenges, there is no need for undue concern.

As Grandmaster JinBodhi reminds us, life is a cycle of highs and lows. When fortune favors you, seize the opportunity to strive for success. During challenging times, adopt a cautious and steady approach. The key is to maintain a calm and focused mind, speak and act with mindfulness, and let compassion guide your action. Through kindness, positive speech, and good deeds, you can accumulate merit and blessings, creating a foundation for greater prosperity and happiness in the future. Embrace each moment with an open heart, and let 2025 be a year of growth and fulfillment.
