Feng Shui 2025: 10 Key Insights for Balance and Success
Will 2025 be a year of good fortune? According to Michiaki Tanaka, a Tokyo-based Feng Shui expert with 21 years of experience, 2025 holds great promise for good luck. However, it will also come with its share of unpredictability and challenges. Here are Tanaka’s 10 key insights to help you navigate the year successfully.
1. Wealth Is Hidden
2025 is a year of financial luck, offering opportunities to earn money and build assets. However, this wealth often comes indirectly and from hidden sources.
While direct income is earned through labor, indirect wealth might arise from dividends, capital gains, lottery winnings, inheritances or refunds. This type of luck is not easily visible or accessible to everyone. To find it, one must search diligently, investigate thoroughly and think carefully.
“Hidden wealth” is the theme of 2025. Acting on easy-to-understand but shallow information could lead to significant losses.
2. A Year for Life-Changing Marriages
Some people see significant improvements in their lives after marriage. 2025 is an auspicious year for marriage, especially for unions that bring mutual growth and happiness. Marrying this year promises a bright and prosperous future for couples.
3. Listen to Wisdom from Elders
2025 emphasizes the importance of elder wisdom. Although generational gaps still exist, this year presents an opportunity for society to benefit from the experience of older generations. When in doubt, seeking guidance from mentors or seniors will be especially valuable in 2025.
4. Worries and Anxiety Increase
2025 has multiple astrological signs that might disturb our mental balance. When the New Year begins, the vibrancy of the previous year will seem to vanish, leaving behind a stagnant and lethargic atmosphere. If you find yourself feeling worried or anxious, understand that it is due to Feng Shui influences, not personal faults.
For 2025, it’s best to keep a smaller number of plants and choose lively, vibrant ones for decoration. As for hairstyles, shorter cuts that clearly showcase your face are in harmony with the energy of the year.
5. Double the Growth Potential
Good news: 2025 is a year of amplified growth opportunities. The year runs from January 29, 2025, to February 16, 2026, and includes two “Spring” days—February 3, 2025, and February 4, 2026—which symbolize a “double” boost of spring energy.
This double spring energy supports personal and business growth, innovation and wealth accumulation. To maximize this effect, decorate your entrance with spring flowers such as plum, peach or cherry blossoms to attract new opportunities.
6. Beware of Travel and Water Accidents
Disasters related to travel and water are a notable risk in 2025. Stay vigilant during trips or business travel, and take precautions to avoid accidents. Being cautious will help you steer clear of potential dangers.
7. Collaboration Brings Fortune
2025 will be a year marked by diplomacy, fostering an atmosphere where people are inclined to cooperate and support one another. Instead of engaging in stubborn conflicts, resolving issues through dialogue will lead to better outcomes.
This harmonious energy is naturally supported by the forces of nature. Adopting a long-term perspective on relationships and aiming for win-win solutions will align with the positive energies of the year.
8. Health Is Wealth: Prevention Is Better Than Cure
In 2025, there is a general influence of health-related issues, particularly concerning old injuries, past ailments, or conditions affecting the stomach, gynecological health, nose or mental well-being.
Since health is essential for happiness and prosperity, it is crucial to prioritize preventive care. Begin by staying mindful of your overall health and well-being to reduce potential risks.
9. The Sudden Rise of “Yin” Energy
2025 is characterized by a dominant “Yin” energy, marking a significant shift from the predominantly “Yang” energy of 2024. This change may be challenging for some to adjust to.
While “Yin” energy has its positive aspects, such as fostering calmness, it can also lead to stagnation and lethargy. Combined with the health challenges mentioned earlier, this may sometimes affect mental well-being.
To counterbalance this, invite “Yang” energy into your life. Open windows during the “Dragon Hour” (7-9 AM) to let in fresh air and sunlight, and dry your clothing and bedding in the sun to bring vitality into your environment.
10. Balance Luck with Gold and Silver

According to the 2025 Feng Shui Eight Characters chart (below), the element of “Metal,” representing resources, is entirely absent. Resources are essential for realizing any form of luck or success.
To compensate, use metal accessories, wear colors such as white, gold or silver, and decorate with metallic items. For a Feng Shui solution, place a statue of the Monkey God riding a dragon in the southwest to attract “Metal” energy and inspire breakthrough ideas.
May the Year 2025 bring you boundless joy, success and unforgettable moments!
Kanpai!
