2025 financial forecast: Which animal signs are most likely to get rich in the Year of the Wood Snake?
Oh, to have good money luck!
Curious as to how your financial situation could go in the 2025 Year of the Wood Snake?
According to feng shui expert and astrologer Jean Chua, the coming year will be most favorable for four animal signs in terms of finances—Monkey, Horse, Rooster, and Rabbit—as they have the wealth and money star by their side. "These animal signs can enjoy good profits and investment returns, financial gain, and opportunities to deal with good projects," she told PhilSTAR L!fe.
But since the illness star is also present in the 2025 astrological chart, it could also affect the situation of money for all animal signs, including those with prosperity stars in particular. According to Chua, even though an animal sign, for instance, is expected to have good income this year, they may still face other financial concerns like overspending.

Rooster

Just be careful as you have a negative star as well, which means you need to carefully manage your finances and make good financial decisions for yourself.
Dog
Financial challenges and obstacles may arise this year, Dogs. Carefully plan your spending and investments this year, especially if you're planning to launch a new business venture. While it might not be the best time to deal with big transactions, you can still maintain existing projects and businesses. Just try to avoid conflict with your people as much as possible as you have the argument star this year, which is known to be associated with authority problems and legal issues. Communication is key.
Pig
Pigs are in direct conflict with Snakes, so this year, you might need to lie low, stay calm, and avoid being too aggressive when making financial decisions. The opportunity to earn money is there, but keep in mind you'll only get to enjoy it and prevent any losses if you put your 100% focus on it.
To navigate potential money problems this year, Chua said it's important to keep in mind the power of good decisions and financial plans.
"Work with certain people that could help you balance your money and investment figures," she added. "You have to be very conscious and attentive when managing certain businesses and projects, and study them well before taking actions that would involve money."
