Episode Details

Buckle up spiritual friends! We’re diving into a mystical world – Chinese Zodiac the Year of the Snake. Don’t be squeamish – the snake is positive!

This may surprise you, but this year’s Yin Wood Snake brings a gentle transformative energy, inviting you to be introspective and embrace change. In this episode of the Breathe Love and Magic podcast, I chatted with my friend Kim Julen, a Feng Shui Intuitive Coach, about what this mystical year has in store for you.

New Year Unveils the Yin Wood Snake

Kim pointed out there are two celebrations of Chinese New Year – the first is Lunar New Year (January 29th )and the Solar New Year (February 3rd) when the changes really start to kick in.

The snake symbolizes wisdom and transformation, offering a shift from the active energy of last year’s yang wood dragon. This year will be more feminine, with a calmer, introspective vibe. It’s about recalibration and welcoming new beginnings. As Kim put it, “This year, we have a chance to take a breath, go within, and embrace the yin.”

Slow Down and Look Around

Kim and I spoke about the importance of slowing down this year. The snake teaches not only to grow but also to let go of what doesn’t serve you. It’s a time for healing and focusing on inner transformation. A year, perhaps, to focus on wellness—both emotional and physical.

Comparing this year with 2024, Kim noted that last year was about fiery activity even though the divine feminine energy was coming in. On the other hand, 2025 offers tranquility. It’s a year to tune into yourself and take a cosmic breath.

Imagine shedding old narratives and what no longer serves you just like a snake sloughs off its old skin. Then you’ll be ready to manifest with joy and lightness.

Think about it. While everyone else is out there hustling, you’ll be doing the real work of internal alchemy and emotional detox. Sort of like spiritual spring cleaning.

Feng Shui Tips for the Snake Year

With Feng Shui insights, Kim shared this practical magic toolkit for the Snake year. Here are simple actions you can take to align your space with this year’s energy:

• Declutter your living space before the new year begins
• Replace old or broken items
• Be sure all  your light bulbs are working
• Pay attention to clearing the energy of  your living and office space
• Invest in a new door mat, maybe turquoise or green to highlight the wood element
