The Dragon in 2025 ~ Wood Snake Year
It Could Be Sunshine If you were born in a Dragon year, congratulations on completing another turn of the wheel. Some Metal Dragons turned 84 last year, some turned 24.

The Rabbit in 2025 ~ Wood Snake Year
You Can Handle the Truth There are certain runs of years that are more difficult than others, and this doesn’t always have to do with Ba Zi concepts such as being clashed, penalized, punished, combined or drained – although that might be the beginning of it. After 2018, everyone in the world began to learn… Read More
The Tiger in 2025 ~ Wood Snake Year
You Won’t See Me In a Snake year the Snake, Tiger and Monkey form a triangular relationship called the Fire Penalty or Ungrateful Punishment. The last time this happened for a whole year was in 2022 but being a Water Tiger year, the Fire wasn’t as strong as it will be this time around. If… Read More

Your life has been rearranged. Nobody likes feeling that way, but after a year of learning, and maybe unlearning, you’re in the right… Read More
The Rooster in 2025 ~ Wood Snake Year
Power Tools I am curious to see what Roosters have to say this year when I meet up with them for their annual readings. Roosters know I listen, and that I can and will keep their secrets, which makes me a person they feel comfortable sharing with. Roosters don’t trust just anyone so it’s kind… Read More
The Monkey in 2025 ~ Wood Snake Year
Make Love, Not War For the Monkey, all relationships involve Water. This could be a saving grace for Monkeys who experience the Fire penalty in 2025. Only a thorough analysis of your Ba Zi will tell you what the heck this might mean. What I can say without a full analysis is that because the… Read More
