HOW to MANIFEST with 

Year of the SNAKE 

 9 STAR KI 2 EARTH MOTHER YEAR

in the 9 STAR KI

9 VIBRATION

2025 is a Snake year celebrated as LUNAR NEW YEAR on Wednesday January 29th, 2025.  You may have seen this Snake year listed as a Wood element but in the 9 Star Ki Astrology system we are moving out of the Wood element & into the Earth Element with a 2 EARTH MOTHER Star year This will be a year where we can really manifest with this FERTILE EARTH ENERGY you can imagine planting Seeds of Intention in early SPRING for everything you want to CALL IN & If you leave a comment about what YOU want to MANIFEST in 2025 I will send Distance Reiki for it to come to you for your highest healing good, may you receive all that you desire this year. In this video I will talk about HOW TO ENERGETICALLY ALIGN with what you want because this is the best WAY to become a MAGNET for everything you want to show up effortlessly.

2025 is an EXCITING YEAR to MANIFEST MONEY if you know the 5 Elements, EARTH feeds METAL, this Earth energy brings us GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES to make more MONEY & Snakes naturally accumulate an abundance of resources, so this is a time for MANIFESTING & INVESTING, the FINANCIAL Outlook is Amazing in 2025!!! 

If you’re new to 9 STAR KI it is Japanese divination system based on nine-year cycles of Ki or ENERGY related to nature’s seasonal cycles, the Nine STARS are numbers representing different cycles that begins with a SEED germinating underground all the way through the fast growing Spring to blooming, producing, then harvesting, then being used to fuel the fire. It uses the 5 ELEMENT System with Water, Wood, Fire, Earth & Metal. Look to the chart in the beginning & in the description to get your 9 STAR primary element using your birthdate & then comment with your STAR & I will give you a free mini intuitive reading, you can also join my email list for a longer FREE 9 Star Ki Reading or purchase a ZOOM 9 Star Ki reading where I read all 3 of your 9 Star Ki Elements that tells your life path & then I tell you what element you will be traveling through for 2024 & you will receive distance Reiki & an Energy Clearing to help you ALIGN to the ENERGY of what you desire, so that this can be the year that you MANIFEST it by becoming an energetic MAGNET for it to come to you, I have seen absolute MIRACLES happen after people have this Reading combined with Reiki & Energy Clearing, I could do a whole video about my client’s success stories but I want to get on with how you can MANIFEST with this LUCKY SNAKE EARTH MOTHER Year when our thoughts become things & I want to teach you how to create your reality in 2025 by simply focusing on your ENERGY, right now check in, how are you feeling energetically? Where would you land on this energetic scale? Now close your eyes & think of something that you LOVE more than anything & feel that JOY in your heart when you think of something you Truly LOVE, it could be a person, place or thing. See if you can raise your energetic vibration towards JOY which is the best place to MANIFEST from. Another way to raise your Energetic Vibration is to take a REIKI class & get a Reiki Attunement that opens your HEART Chakra & when you raise your energy, you will become an energetic match to everything you want. Regular Energy Clearings help to clear out whatever negative blocks are holding you back from having the life you’re trying to manifest & this Snake EARTH MOTHER year, we will all need to  create STRONG ENERGETIC BOUNDARIES saying NO, not overdoing it.

A GOOD MOTHER is a SELFISH MOTHER a client told me this years ago & it is TRUE! In this year of the Earth Mother we will need to take more time for ourselves, to do the DEEP HEALING so that we can rise to our own personal POWER. 

Snakes are extremely FERTILE combined with that 2 EARTH MOTHER Star I predict we will have a BABY BOOM in 2025 maybe Millenials will get pregnant afterall, if you’re trying to get pregnant, Fertility Acupressure is one of my specialties, I’ve helped thousands! 

Did you know Snakes are so FERTILE they can even REPRODUCE on their OWN, in an ASEXUAL way known as a Virgin Birth perhaps connecting Snakes to Mother Mary.

This can also be a time of our own personal METAMORPHOSIS where we BIRTH our TRUE SELVES into being or we do that DEEP INNER CHILD work to figure out what we truly want out of life. there’s so much HEALING that can happen in an Earth year as we birth ourselves into being, we may see a lot of people changing jobs, reinventing themselves & finding their TRUE CALLINGS or just doing something they’ve always wanted to do like TRAVEL… I will talk more about these DIVINE Callings later on

This 2 Earth Star element is symbolized as a seed of potential underground in early Spring that cracks open to begin to SPROUT, this is an exciting time to GROW FORTH but if you really stop to think about the SPROUT’s JOURNEY, it is a time of PUSHING UPWARD towards the SUNLIGHT & there’s a lot of HEAVY LIFTING to do pushing upwards with weight of the soil, the weight of the WORLD resisting your upward moment & pushing you back down & maybe there’s rocks you have to grow around, obstacles to overcome, so go EASY on yourself if you’re not making as much PROGRESS as you would like this year, honor this slow growth cycle because this sprout is precious & if a plant does not sprout well it cannot grow & bloom or produce food, so this SPROUTING Forth Year is so VITAL for our FUTURE GROWTH, this is a time to NOURISH Yourself, to HEAL, to take care of your SPROUTING IDEAS, don’t expect big results or achievements right away this year, it’s a slower process, be proud of yourself for getting out of bed each day to move the needle forward in small ways, like a sprout that has pushed forward even if it’s just a little bit but you may be fighting some real PROCRASTINATION,  a them of 2025, remember that FIRE FEEDS EARTH if you feel like you cannot motivate in this DOUBLE EARTH ENERGY Year, then wear FIRE COLORS RED, ORANGE or PURPLE because FIRE feeds Earth or have a red LANTERN

Earth Mother Stars are True CAREGIVERS sometimes as we travel through this 2 Earth Element collectively, we can get STUCK in a  cycle where we’re doing more for others than we do for ourselves. Be careful that you’re not overdoing it, over giving, over commiting & then  not taking care of your own needs, like even forgetting to eat because your so busy running errands for others. This will be especially true for my 8 Earth Mountain Star friends who will be traveling through the 2 Earth Star year, don’t rescue others by doing things they should be doing for themselves even if it’s your kids, they can do things for themselves, like learn to make their own lunch & they will be empowered in the process & you can have a moment for yourself. To all my caregivers, especially Mothers I say be KIND to yourself, Healer Heal Thyself, put your Oxygen Mask on FIRST before you worry about everyone else on the plane. The more you give to others, the less time & energy you have to do your own personal work this year & that work is so important to your growth cycle, so make sure you are protecting your time & energy that can be stolen away in all these little ways, day by day. 

You will have to BALANCE it because you will feel CALLED to HELP Others in an earth year, just constantly check in with yourself to make sure you’re not doing so much that you’re sacrificing your own wants & needs! If you need HELP this year, be brave & ASK For HELP, it will get better if you allow others to help you in your struggle, this is one of the profound lessons of a 2 Earth Mother year, to recognize that you have SUPPORT when you need it, all you have to do is ASK others for it!!! I think our society is become so independent minded we forget this.

Earth Element can bring us REVOLUTION, INNOVATION & Steady PROGRESS! SNAKE energy is about shedding our skin in a death, rebirth cycle that we’ve been in for awhile now, but this year it gets more intense as we will be dealing with some issues of survival, resources & the only constant is CHANGE as we will be forced to EVOLVE how we use our PRIMORDIAL LIFE ENERGY comes into focus.  Sunlight serves as the source of energy for most growth & food production.  I see SOLAR POWER taking off this year, it’s a good time to INVEST in SOLAR as other power sources will get more expensive going forward. FIRE is another form of PRIMORDIAL Energy that may be influencing 2025 as we’re in a 2 Earth Star year within a Nine year 2 Earth cycle within a larger 81 year 9 FIRE Star Cycle, Fire feeds EARTH so that earth can create Metal this should be a productive year where we can make MONEY but we will have to make sure the fires don’t destroy everything, make sure your home is protected from fires. Snakes go into hiding when it’s cold outside & re-emerge in the hottest part of the day, we may have an even HOTTER Year in 2025 as snakes crave DEEP HEAT & it’s gonna get HOT. 

Snakes are also connected to that darkness, they live in the shadows, connecting us to the dark realms of what is HIDDEN that may come to the surface in ways that shock us, if you’ve ever been hiking & had a rattle snake jump out of a rock, you know how SHOCKING it can be! 

I think we will have SHOCKING SECRETS that are Exposed this year, I think of Adam & Eve & the Snake who brought the apple, so perhaps the SECRETS being revealed will be SEXUAL, lots of scandals & investigations coming up this year that might even SCARE US like a Snake, I am curious, are you scared of Snakes? I LOVE Snakes but they’ve still scared me, I’ve seen so many rattle snakes in my life~! 

In Hindu cultures Snake Symbolize WATER & Spiritual cleansing. Water could get more attention as our climate is in an a drought or if we’re really lucky, we may receive greater water supplies which signifies greater Wealth.

SNAKE is also shown as a symbol of HEALING in the Caduceus & our Healthcare will come into focus this year, I predict a Nurse’s & TEACHER strike as part of the Worker’s Revlolution, the CAREGIVERS are TIRED!

Snakes have this ability to suddenly strike out at their prey, but they do not act impulsively, it’s with calculating  consideration that they move swiftly. Consider that when you’re plotting your next move, you may be obsessing about it for months & then shock your friends & family when you suddenly decide to make a big change! There’s a lot going on behind the scenes in a snake year, people may be plotting their next moves secretly then shockingly do something like get divorced or quit their jobs or close their business firing everyone,  lots of unexpected changes to come this year. 

The last time we had a SNAKE year with an Earth Mother Star was in 1989 & let’s look at what happened that year: There was a REVOLUTION in Eastern Europe that ultimately lead to the fall of the Berlin Wall marking an end of the Cold War and the beginning of the post-Cold War era. In Western Astrology with Pluto in Aquarius we have this REVOLUTIONARY ENERGY that will bring massive Worker’s Strikes, change is going to come. 

The 2 Earth MOTHER year will really shine a light on issues of MOTHERHOOD, as we have a new administration coming in taking away Women’s Reproductive rights & freedoms, I envision Women’s March & a return to more Feminism  to go along with the Worker’s Strikes & revolution.

The World Wide Web was invented in 1989 & that has clearly changed everything!!!! What do you think will be the BIG INVENTION of 2025? Is it AI? 

We also had the inauguration of GEORGE BUSH after a very controversial presidential election, I will never forget those HANGING CHADS that cost Al Gore his win & how CORRUPT that whole election felt, I never believed Bush won, I can’t believe Trump won either, I am still in a state of total denial &  wow, here we are again just like in 1989.

We had an EARTH RELATED CRISIS with the EXXON VALDEZ OIL SPILL & EARTH Related discoveries like the 4,400 year old Egyptian Mummy Tomb filled with hieroglyphs & valuable statues of pharoahs a true Archeology Treasure for the ages!

There was a Golden Age in Art & Music with bands like Nirvanna having their break out moment 

Gay Activism hit an all time high in the fight against AIDS, I remember seeing the Grateful Dead play a massive benefit concert for AIDS in the Spring of 89, Aids killed millions.

Could we have another new disease or  EPIDEMIC in this EARTH SNAKE Year?  Snakes years do bring more death /birth cycles & we do have this big, bad BIRD FLU looming & so much food poisoning, so many recalls of foods this Winter going into the snake year, snakes can be POISONOUS, so I imagine we will have more poisonings of all kinds, too. 

This may bring awareness to our food supply & a desire to eat more locally grown foods, even growing your own foods in your backyard, we won’t be able to afford most foods from foreign countries with all the tariffs anyways. 

2 Earth Stars LOVE to have animals, so we may see PETS coming into the limelight in some way or more funding for animal rescue programs.

What changes do you see coming this year? I’d love to know, leave it in the comments, we can all tap into our own Intuition about 2025, SNAKES are the most intuitive sign, they lay low, pay attention & can sense danger, we will all need to tap into our 6th sense this year to protect ourselves in changing circumstances & there will be energetic downloads with the Schumann Resonance that allow us to be more in tune.   Snakes remain calm and composed in stressful situations, so be like the snake this year, try to keep calm when crisis hits.

Snakes know how to STRATEGIZE to WIN, do you know the story of the Dragon & the Snake? The order of the animals was determined by the Jade Emperor & both the Dragon & Snake were both leading the race but the snake slithered up the dragon’s tail to hitch a ride to come in just behind Dragon, this is why Snake Years are particularly LUCKY for DRAGON as Snake pays Dragon back for the ride with a WEALTHY FORTUNE to come in Snake years.

We will all want to focus on our STRATEGY for the Future now, earth years are about laying the foundation for success, not necessarily getting out & launching your new path, but more of a time to set long term goals, invest wisely, network, cultivate connections with people you want to work with & embrace the changes that are coming. 

You may have had limited success with an idea in the past, this is back to the drawing board moment where we can reinvent ourselves, try again in a different way, go back to school or take an online course to guide you forward. 

Earth element moves slowly, carefully with calculated moves in contrast to last years fast growing tree, this year is a time to PAUSE so you can evaluate the situation & be resourceful. 

A few more Tips & Tricks to bring in more LUCK & ABUNDANCE in 2025 Snake Year using the Earth Element 

Wear Earth tones, all those shades of browns, golds and greens, especially avocado green & tea green, goldenrod yellows, khakis, creamsicle soft oranges & soft rosy pinks.

Be sure to hang Prayer Flags in your Southeast Corner while you invoke your intentions,  I get my Prayer Flags from Dharmashop made my Buddhist Nuns, I will link in the description. The SOUTHEAST CORNER will be the LUCKIEST Corner of your home this year, so really spruce that area up, put a lucky plant there, I have my Christmas Tree in my Southeast corner & Santa is sure to deliver! 

In an Earth year you will get an A for EFFORT so remember It’s better to TRY doing something new even if you FAIL because sometimes that FAIL could be a stroke of luck that leads to pure GENIUS when you learn a valuable lesson in the process, so don’t be afraid & Expect good things to happen! 

If you Do GOOD things for your family, friends & community, just like a Good MOTHER does,  good things will happen for you. be a positive force in your community & you will find that all the love & support you give to others comes right back to you multiplied!!!

Give what you want to Get out of life this year,  when you meet a new friend or work connection, think, “How can I help this person?” instead of thinking, “What can I get out of this?” Karma will reward this CARING mindset, you will attract better luck, more clients, more sales & more followers this way. 

Always Be Prepared like a good Boyscout, EARTH energy is all about being prepared, Good luck occurs when an opportunity presents itself and you are prepared to GO FOR IT.

Intentionally surround yourself with high vibe people who bring you positive energy remember you MANIFEST with your ENERGY so steer clear of negative people, stop watching the news or horror shows, only allow HIGH VIBES in! Project Love & Peace out into the world & see how that attracts like minded people to you, this is a year for connection, networking & friendships as I read the Fellowship Iching in my last 9 star ki reading for December, we will join together with like minded people this year make sure you’re attracting positivity because you’re projecting positivity! 

Become a servant of this revolutionary change we are in! The only constant in life is change, so embrace it and ride the wave of transformation don’t resist the new technologies & new ways that are coming b/c this NEW WAY FORWARD is inevitable now, just learn to ADAPT to changing circumstances, surrender to the process or be dragged, we will see even more changes to come in 2026 when we enter the year of INNOVATION, this year is just a GLIMPSE of what’s to come, just like when the World Wide Web was invented in the last Earth Snake Year, they had NO IDEA how it would transform our world, look at how much it has! Right now technology is completely changing the way we will work & live going forward, if you want to prosper and grow you’ve got to ride these waves of change. 

It’s not just about manifesting money, we will all need to be in service to others in some way, to give something meaningful that uses your own personal GIFTS, this year is about FINDING YOUR TRUE DIVINE CALLING, so listen to SPIRIT who will guide you, I don’t care how old you are, it is NEVER too late to find your Calling because that is the key to happiness & fulfillment in life.” If all you did this year is figure out what you want to do with your one precious life, you will have done enough!

2025 IS A NINE VIBRATION 

NINE in Numerology & Feng Shui Did you know if you add 9 to any number, it equals the number? 9 + 2 =11 1+1 = 2 & so on, try it, it’s really fun to see how magical the number 9 is!

Number NINE is all about COMPLETION & EVOLUTION, that fits! We are leaving behind our lucky 8 number &  I know so many people who are obsessed with the number 8 for ABUNDANCE & I love 8, too, I am an 8 in numerology. Do you know your own personal Number? You simply add up all the numbers in your birthdate, for me it adds up to 8  & it’s why I LOVE to MANIFEST MONEY & why I reach REIKI for ABUNDANCE because 8 is the number of ABUNDANCE!  But honestly, after years of doing Feng Shui space clearings, I’ve found that 8 Homes aren’t always the LUCKIEST in fact people in 8 HOMES tend to get OBSESSED about MONEY & sometimes they even have DEBTS or lots of BILLS, it seems like our whole world had MONEY PROBLEMS & yes MONEY was a BIG ISSUE this year, but I think I am excited to move onto a 

 9 Vibration because NINE is so MONEY, they don’t need MONEY anymore, they have it all, there’s no struggle or hustle to get money because they have MORE THAN ENOUGH RESOURCES Now & so I WISH YOU ALL ENOUGH in this 9 YEAR, wouldn’t it be nice to have MORE THAN ENOUGH & Never have to worry about money again? We could start worrying about how we’re going to SPEND all our money instead of worrying about how to GET Money. Let’s do that!

it reminds me of Bill Gates who is so WEALTHY that I’ve heard he NEVER CARRIES a WALLET, I had a client who worked with him, he generally has “people who take care of the bills, whether he’s at a restaurant or he’s buying a yacht, Bill Gates does not need to carry cash on hand, his assistant will take care of all the financials, that is what 9 is like, it’s so RESOURCEFUL, it’s on a HIGHER FINANCIAL PLANE, it’s ENLIGHTENMENT, Spiritual Awareness, connection to SOURCE to provide you with everything you need, 9 Vibration never worries about bills, debts or making money, NINE has the ultimate FULFILLMENT, More than ENOUGH & Nines love to GIVE BACK, this is the number of HUMANITARIAN Efforts & just like Mr. Rogers said, “Look for the HELPERS” those HELPERS are probably NINE Vibration people & we should all be a little more like them this year!

One last MANTRA for a 2 SNAKE EARTH MOTHER YEAR is “It’s better DONE than PERFECT!!!” In true 2 Form I was procrastinating my completion & recording of this, it wasn’t good enough until finally I HAD TO DO IT or it wouldn’t be done right? This theme will come up for all of us as we PUSH UPWARDS just DO THE THING b/c it’s better DONE than PERFECT!!! 

I am going to leave you with some nature REIKI & ENERGY CLEARINGS to help you MANIFEST in 2025!

NINE STARS

1 WATER (4) you are in a second year traveling through the WOOD ELEMENT that brings a GROWTH CYCLE of Profound CHANGES as you were in the 3 Fast Growing Tree last year & now you travel through the 4 TREE THAT BENDS IN THE WIND, like the old WILLOW TREE.

Your Element of Water feeds wood so this is an exciting & productive year for you in 2025 full of OPPORTUNITIES but the energy is a little slower in 2025 as this is a YIN WOOD ELEMENT as opposed to last years YANG Wood Element, this will be less OUTWARD GROWTH & more INTERNAL ADAPTATIONS as the tree learns how to handle changing circumstances.  In last year’s 3 Wood Star year the growth was inspired from within, like a Spring tree that desires to grow and bloom, you may have wanted to make a change & then you did. That was a process of inner transformation creating outer growth, effortlessly producing new leaves & maybe you decided to BLOOM in some way last year.  In the 4 Wood Star year the growth and change comes more from the outer world influence affecting the tree having to deal with the winds of change, storms, droughts, fire, insects and everything you can possibly imagine that affects a trees ability to grow forth. You will have to ADAPT to all these changing circumstances in your environment now & be like that leaf on the WIND, go where the winds may take you, learn to go with the FLOW this year.

This year will bring new opportunities for growth & AHA Breakthrough moments, but you’re not as confident about the directions you want to go in, as you were last year.  It can feel like you’re no longer in control of the changes taking place & you’re not sure what is going to happen next! It can feel like everything is up in the air now. Last year you wanted to make a change, now it feels like the changes are coming from external circumstances, like getting fired & having to find a new job or having to move your home because your landlord wants to sell their house. When the Big Change wasn’t your idea, it feels less exciting because you’re forced to change instead of choosing it. 

This is a time to get into your Beginner’s Mind, be willing to NOT KNOW ALL the ANSWERS, to be OPEN MINDED, maybe seek advice from a teacher or mentor, be flexible, make adjustments, allow for the big changes to take you in new directions. Try to be okay with not knowing where you are going, just be in the moment & enjoy the ride! This would be a good year to expand your horizons with continuing education or a retreat getaway.

You might face difficulties, obstacles & issues that come from outside of you, conflicts with other people, this is all part of your own transformative growth cycle, sigh. The hardest part here is trying NOT to BLAME others for your own inadequacies, difficulties or problems that you will inevitably face this year. 

There’s a delicate balance here between worrying about what is going to happen next, in a “catastrophic mindset” way or passively letting things happen to you because this year you have a receptive, yin, wait & see approach to your goals that may let some opportunities pass you by. 

Relationships can feel strained under this influence of the WINDS of Change, too! You might be reconsidering your roles in the relationship, rethinking about if your relationship feels right anymore? You might be craving interpersonal freedom or feeling held back by your relationship commitments now. If there was any doubts or thoughts of divorce here, it would come up even stronger in 2024 when this soft wind of change will become a full blown HURRICANE next year! 

AND as I say that, it’s also good to recognize the “Doubts” & Turbulence you may be feeling in your relationship now is just a part of this tree bending in the wind year & so it might be wise to see if you can survive the storms of this year & next & wait until 2025 before making any big decisions in your relationships…

I think of this year as the time to get PREPARED like you would if you knew something major was on the horizon, make preparations, nourish yourself, take care of the cows as they say. 

This can be a potent energy to use for Therapy or Hypnosis, to make internal changes in reaction to the external influences that are forcing you to make a change! It’s an excellent year to seek the wise counsel of a mentor, advisor or even life coach to try to figure out your next chess moves. This is a great year to read all the BOOKS as trees LOVE to learn, too! 

As the tree grows older now, you may have to prune back some branches that grew too big & maybe you were growing in a direction that didn’t really pan out, time to cut your losses with the gardening shears. 

You may fall into some brand new opportunity this year that takes your life in a totally different direction, but if your still hanging on to hopes around those old, dying branches, it can hold you back from moving forward. So spend some time figuring out how to prune your tree for optimal growth forward, like a Bonsai master who meditates & listens to the tree to decide what to cut & where to focus on growth. This 4 Wood Star is also represented by BAMBOO trees, so try wearing lighter green tea colors, mossy green colors and lighter browns to align with the energy of this year. 

Nourish your roots, a tree can only grow as tall as its roots grow downward into the earth, so stay rooted.

New possibilities to grow in new directions.

Growth is affected by outside influences just like trees in Monterey grow crooked because of the wind’s influence, we may have to grow in different directions this year b/c of the outer elements affecting us. You will have to adapt to changing circumstances affecting our directions forward. 

Be open minded, you don’t have to have all the answers this year, you can allow new information to come in and accept new pathways. Fate, Destiny takes a turn this year, you may end up somewhere totally different than we thought. You might change jobs, move your house or some other big life change occurs. Expand your horizons, ask friends, family & mentors for advice. You may find a Teacher, Guru or Mentor who guides on your path. 

Divine messages coming through to guide you in mysterious ways. Get outside for some Nature therapy surround yourself with trees, wood and plants. I think of Robert Frost’s poem for you this year, as you will be making so many decisions on your winding path forward, Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel both.

2 EARTH STAR (5) This year you are the 5 Earth STAR, known as the CENTER STAR as you are in the Center now because we’re all collectively going through a 2 Earth Mother Star Year, that is your sign, so you will definitely want to watch the main Snake Year video & follow all the advice there about taking care of yourself & setting those Energetic Boundaries. Last year the winds of change were gently blowing as you were the TREE that Bends in the WIND & you may have learned how to ADAPT to changing circumstance, this year can bring an even greater Whirlwind of change, known as the HURRICANE year & you have double earth in an earth year can lead you to be extremely busy which will then bring you exhaustion, overwhelm & procrastination. 

Wear FIRE colors to motivate yourself because Fire Feeds Earth, so red, orange & purple will bring you more energy this year, even eating spicy foods, drinking ginger tea, to keep your circulation flowing. 

This 5 Earth Soil year is like a freshly plowed field after a Spring Rain, there is a FERTILE Energy here & this can be a time to plant seeds of INTENTION for whatever you want to GROW FORTH, this MOIST SOIL ENERGY makes this the best year to start a NEW BUSINESS, NEW RELATIONSHIP or NEW DIRECTION like beginning your College Education for whatever you BEGIN in this year will grow deep roots & grow tall & strong like the mighty Oak Tree whose Acorn was planted at the most potent time in Spring, the ENERGY Supports GROWTH, so you will have lots of business, work & activity in this year. The work you’re doing this year will reap rewards, profits & recognition in the next 2 years, so put in your time & effort now, knowing that it will PAY OFF.

Maybe you’ve started a new business or project & now you’re getting lots of business, but it can almost be too much of a good thing. I just finished my Center Star year in 2024 & I felt like a WAITRESS in a busy restaurant during a RUSH, running around trying to help everyone, to serve so many people & when you’ve taken on too many things all at once it can be so stressful & maybe you even feel like you’re not doing any of your tasks well b/c you’re just rushing all around, there is a constant FRANTIC energy to this YANG Earth Element that you go, go, going too much.

You may have people who really need you this year in some way,  you could be caring for your children, parents or BOTH at the same time or maybe you have a sick pet that needs your help, in some way you may have to BE OF SERVICE to someone or to be CAREGIVER for a loved one. Make sure that you don’t get overwhelmed in the process or forget to take care of yourself in this process. If you need HELP, remember to ASK FOR SUPPORT in this process. You may need to say NO to others demands so you don’t get overwhelmed but you can still give a portion of your time to help others out because the more you give, the more you will receive this year. 

You will be like a MAGNET this year, people will be attracted to you & you may find new friends & lovers. If you’re in a relationship it may go through a powerful transformation, this is an excellent time to do couples counseling to get to the next level of deep connection & acceptance. You may want to seek counseling to uncover certain patterns that came from your childhood, too. As you heal these parts of yourself, you will radiate even more warmth & love, people will love to be in your presence. 

3 WOOD STAR (6) MOVING out of the Hurricane &  into a 6 METAL star, the money is finally coming! This is your harvest year for ALL that Hard Work you’ve been doing in the last 5 years of GROWTH & CHANGES, now you will finally reap your rewards this year! 

It’s your time to RELAX & RECEIVE, Your mantra “Let GOOD things come to you” and they will!  You deserve the BEST THINGS IN LIFE & if you can give yourself PERMISSION to be truly PROSPEROUS you may receive absolute MIRACLES this year! This is your luckiest year, you may receive unexpected money from an inheritance, a big bonus or promotion at work or even playing the lottery, you will be more likely to WIN a JACKPOT in this 6 Metal Star time than any other year. BREATHE new LIFE into your VISION  & Remember what you wanted when you started this journey 5 years ago.  Try making a wish list at the beginning of the year, see if all your wishes really do come true this year!

You will be in your power all year, more able to manifest all that you desire, but the tricky part just might be knowing what it is that you really want in life. Metal controls Wood, so it can feel like even though you have this opportunity to get what you want, you may not know what that is, you may feel oppressed by indecision over too many choices, like when you’re at your favorite restaurant & you don’t know what to order & when it arrives, you’re not sure you made the best pick. 

The best way to ENHANCE your Luck in a 6 Metal Year is to where Metal colors like Silver, White, Dark Grey, Cobalt blues,  Golden Yellow, and Gold. 

6 Metal Star is located in the Northwest Corner of your home, so this is a good year to place energizers in your NW Corner of your home for greater Abundance, healthy plants, water fountains, Powerful Crystals & of course METAL Objects in Gold, Silver, Bronze, Brass, Platinum, even ringing your Metal Singing Bowls in the NW Corner especially & placing Metal Singing bowls near the doors of your home will help you COLLECT MORE FUNDS!  You might also place some lucky coins, a Wealth Vase or Malachite Crystals that pertain to prosperity in your NW Corner of your home. Metal Feeds WATER, as condensation builds up on metal & becomes WATER & Water is Wealth, the Water region of your home is the West portion of your house. This is another good region to enhance for Prosperity, put house plants, fountain, a fish tank, any water elements, I really, truly need a Hot Tub in that area this year! Just have fun with these Feng Shui cures, they don’t have to be so serious! The most important part is YOUR INTENTION!!!

Hello, 4 WOOD STAR you have worked hard and prospered, now is your time to enjoy the fruits of your labor by living in the moment & having more FUN, remember FUN?  Take a moment in gratitude to enjoy the brilliance of a setting sun on a gorgeous beach.  Make a wonderful, nourishing dinner with friends & family like you would on Thanksgiving, this has a similar Autumn energy to the year, a time to take stock in all that you have in your life, your friends, family & home & just ENJOY the beauty in everything you have MANIFESTED. 

 You may be more sensitive to your surroundings making this an ideal time to tidy up your home, get a SPACE Clearing & create a sanctuary of sacred space somewhere in your home, it could just be one corner of a room where you declutter & perhaps make it a meditation space with an altar, crystals, a candle & any other healing items. 

You will want more time to YOURSELF this year, so this can be your refuge space.  You’re also more sensitive to negative energy, this is a good time to receive an energy clearing to clear out anything that is blocking your path forward. This is the perfect year for travel, to take in scenic beauty and paint or take photos, do something CREATIVE this year, even if it’s taking up pottery or just coloring books! You are the Artist this year & you may feel inspired to try something new, to beautify your home with a remodel, get a MAKEOVER, try a new hairstyle or buy some new clothes to reinvent yourself in an INSPIRED WAY. 

5 EARTH STAR (8) This year is about going deep within for some major inner transformations as you enter the 8 Earth Mountain Star. Earth feeds Metal so this will be a nourishing year that will ultimately inspire you, it can be productive even if it feels like you are going deep into a Cave & you may feel like you are not being seen or heard this year, but that is just the nature of this year, to go within & become invisible to the outer world so you can focus on your inner self. 

Your experience in 2025 is like a caterpillar that goes into its cocoon to transform into a Butterfly, you will need more time to yourself, to go deep within and just figure things out, you may be more sensitive to other people’s energy as you’re in this INTERNAL TRANSFORMATION, so this is not a good year for being in crowded places & you may want to get more ENERGY CLEARINGS & do more HEALING WORK this year. 

 Just like a butterfly in a chrysalis, you should NOT Move or Travel this year b/c if you’ve ever raised Caterpillars to become butterflies, the main thing is “DON”T MOVE THAT CHRYSALIS!!!” So go slower, don’t make any big chess moves this year. Accept this year as a time of deep, inner work & hibernation as you prepare for bigger things to come next year. Allow time for solitude, naps, lots of self care, healing, go get bodywork, take time for journaling and Yin Yoga. Your home will be a place of refuge, so this is a good time to organize & tidy up your home but do NOT move or Travel! You are in the year of the Mountain, so wear Mountain colors of dark browns, earthy yellows and beige. Your Crystal this year is the MAHOGANY OBSIDIAN made from a VOLCANO this crystal has all the energy of a deep cave transformation & I am going to give some of these away b/c we find these in Central Oregon in Abundance! 

6 METAL STAR (9) You are on fire this 2025 year as you enter the 9 Fire Star, this is a time of completion of your whole 9 YEAR CYCLE, so there may be some endings 

This NINE FIRE STAR ELEMENT is ruled Heart so you will make more decisions that come from your HEART & if you’re heart isn’t in it, either in your WORKLIFE or your RELATIONSHIPS, you may just leave situations this year, I imagine someone leaving a job in the middle of a busy shift b/c they just don’t want to do it anymore! 

 Remember fire melts metal, so this can be a destructive year for you where you just want burn it all down or you may be feeling BURN OUT,  you may need more rest & downtime even as you’re entering a normally energizing, outgoing element, FIRE can drain your Metal element but Fire can also sculpt Metal into amazing creations like the blacksmith forging a beautiful work of Art, you may become something even Better in 2025!  

 You will feel so INSPIRED by this warm fire & it can feel like the light of Spring has returned after a dark Winter where you have this HOPEFUL Feeling in your HEART for the first time in years! This is your time to shine & you may receive more attention & recognition than usual this year. If you are single, you will probably meet “the one” this year, as the doors of your Heart are OPEN & you are a magnet for LOVE! If you’re wanting to apply for a new job, you will most likely GET IT even if it’s beyond your skill level, you can rise to a HIGHER POSITION in life this year!

This would be the best year for you to Launch your Youtube page, podcast, publish your book & be SEEN in the world because this Star of FAME is shining on YOU! This is a SAY YES Year, whatever opportunities show up for you now, say YES!!! 

This is one of the best years for MANIFESTING MIRACLES so dream big this year & ASK, BELIEVE & your probably will RECEIVE whatever your heart wants! 

This is a giving season in your life, you will find the more you give, the more you will receive, so be generous, give from your HEART SPACE< donate money to good causes & it will come back to you multiplied. 

You will feel more outgoing than usual, so have fun with it, go to all the parties, make new friends and dance to your own beat. This is one of the best times to TRAVEL the world on an Adventure. You will be invited to more events & ou may find yourself so busy that your head is swirling, so take time out to be alone, go for a walk or meditate just to quiet your mind from the whirlwind of activity. 

Your Fiery Color pallette this year includes Red, bright Orange, Bright Yellow, Purple & Fuchsia Pink, all colors radiating the passions of the heart & Fire, you are sure to be seen wearing these power colors! You will be so noticed this year, you might want to slow down so you don’t get a speeding ticket, your actions both good & bad will be recognized so make sure your actions reap more Awards than penalties. Your lucky direction is South East this year for both sleeping & hanging prayer flags. 

7 METAL STAR (1) This is your ONE WATER STAR Year & Metal feeds Water so you will be in a productive FLOW State this year where you can tap into your Creativity & Dream a brand new dream into being because you are Starting all over again, this is your very first year in a brand new 9 year cycle, you are a seed, full of potential, like an Acorn that will manifest into a mighty Oak Tree someday, but for now, you are underground in stillness, in Winter,  this will not be a “doing year” year, this is an internal process of GERMINATION & it all BEGINS WITHIN, this can be a more INTROVERTED YEAR where you’re extra sensitive to other people’s energy & as a Metal Star I know you’re always sensitive to other people’s energy, this year you will CRAVE ALONE TIME like it is a SUPPLEMENT!  

This INTERNAL Germination process is just like being pregnant when you are creating this brand new life, but for awhile it can seem like nothing is happening & before you begin to show, no one even knows the magical process you are in, you might keep it secret as you begin to grow this new life that you will birth,  this year will be like that. Give yourself plenty of time & space to dream your future into being, create a magnificent vision board & allow yourself to really fantasize more than ever! 

What would you do if you simply could not fail? You may find a brand new CALLING, you may want to move to a new town or explore new talents, but keep telling yourself, this is not yet your “DOING” Year this is only the time for “Getting ready to be ready to make a Change!” Your Mantra is “I’m just GERMINATING this year, feel free to tell people this when they ask what are you doing now that you quit your day job! GERMINATION may very well be the most important part of the growth cycle, give yourself the GIFT of DOWNTIME so you can envision what it is you want to create for this next 9 year Growth Cycle, like a Farmer looking at a SEED Catalog to plan next year’s crops. 

The Season of this One Water Star year is like January, when we have NEW YEARS DAY & we all get so excited & hopeful about our BIG GOALS for the New Year, but then you look outside & realize it’s SNOWING, so maybe you’re not going to accomplish much today. Let yourself rest, like you would on a Snow Day, rest on your cozy couch & be mindfully present as you enjoy this  reflective, imagining time. Allow SPIRIT to guide, get mystical & spiritual in the process, ask the Universe, Source, Angels or God to guide you on your brand new journey, look for SIGNS & directions.  Get comfortable with this UNKNOWN, UNSEEN Process that is stirring deep within your Psyche. Discover your inner wisdom, read lots of books & watch inspiring videos. 

Somedays in a One Star year, you might even feel lazy, uninspired or like you’ve lost your MOJO, but the magical lesson here is “do less and manifest even more as we learn in the Tao Te Ching LESS is MORE” this is a time to find passive income, how can you make money while you’re sleeping? 

This would not be a wise year to start a new business or PUBLISH anything b/c you are like that seed UNDERGROUND, Under SNOW, you simply won’t be SEEN & so it can feel like you’ve somehow FAILED when you’re not getting any clients or business but really it was just bad timing. it’s better to use this energy to Envision a New Business, to think it up, but Don’t Launch anything new until 2027 or the energy just won’t support it! If you have been wanting to write a book, this could be an excellent year to take some time in solitude & write it, but again don’t publish it until 2027 or later! Same goes for any creative work of art or music, you will definitely be in a creative FLOW State for making things, just don’t take them to market until 2027 or later when you’re in a more extroverted state of being seen. 

Wear all the colors of water this year, every shade of blues, black, aquamarines, seagreens and turquoise. 

8 EARTH STAR 

in 2024 you started a brand new 9 year cycle as a seed of potential, now you will crack open & begin to SPROUT FORTH as you enter this 2 Earth Star year that our whole world will be collectively going through as 2025 is a 2 Earth Mother Snake Year, if you haven’t already watched my primary 9 Star Ki predictions for the year, you will want to watch that for even more insights about the year you’re going through! When a Seed Sprouts, it’s actually a LOT of Work, it has to burst through that protective shell & then begin to PUSH UPWARDS towards the Sunlight with HEAVY SOIL weighing it down, it can feel like the sprout can barely get ahead this year, then their’s rocks in the way, you may have obstacle to your growth, so Nurture yourself through this process where you will be doing a lot of heavy lifting. It may seem like a lot of hard work for you all year without much progress, so don’t try to accomplish everything all at once. 

You may have fears coming up that you’re not moving in the right direction, that things aren’t succeeding in the way you wanted, but any path you take now, will eventually lead you to where you want to be. Your main goal for the year is to build your foundation & MAKE A PLAN because in 2026 that is when your growth cycle will be energized & you will have more forward momentum! Then you will be like a flower blooming through concrete, nothing can stop you next year. If you are launching a creative project, next year will be an even better time to put it forth into the world.

In 2025 you may be craving more self care, nourishment and healing. NOURISH yourself with healthier foods & get your SELF CARE like Massage, so you don’t get sick. It will be enough just to sprout upwards, little by little. Don’t try to do it all now. Think about what it is you want to grow but remember you have a full 9 year cycle to get it all done. Use this year to plan it all out, like you would plan a garden. It might be really fun to get some sprouts this Spring and observe their growth cycle, witness first hand how the seeds sprout. The emphasis for your 2025 is an upward momentum with flexible growth patterns that can adapt to changing circumstances. You might want to seek the advice of mentors who have succeeded in areas you want to take on in your new growth cycle. You have a strong determination to grow forth now against the inertia of heavy soil weighing you down.  You can simply move around any obstacles that show up this year. Your enthusiasm for change brings steady advancements forward. “Grow with the Flow” will be your mantra! Be patient with yourself and others this year as it can feel like nothing is happening fast enough for you. You might not have as much energy to give to all the demands of your life, so practice saying “No” if something shows up that doesn’t align with your purpose. You can’t do it all this year! You will be under time constraints as you try to do more to move your dial forward.  Be mindful about where you are spending your time. Get an hourly planner and track your schedule more closely this year so you can accomplish your goals. Ask for help when you need it, you have so many people in your life who want to support you now. 

A sprout gains energy from it’s roots in the ground, so stay rooted this year. Take time for exercise, nature therapy, yin yoga and meditation. Do some earthing with bare feet in grass, let the energy of the earth feed you. You will want to take baby steps forward. Even humble beginnings can become a foundation for great success in the future. The distance between where you are in this moment and where you want to be in life will be a series of small steps forward, it’s not a race. Find enjoyment in the process this year. Be grateful for all of the little things that you have and celebrate your littlest wins, too. You will be protected by fate this year and everything is working out for you. Take your time and enjoy the ride! 

9 FIRE STAR (3)

in 2025 you are an Energetic, Blooming TREE Star!

2024 may have been a difficult year of struggling to Push Upwards, like a flower bulb underground that must first push up & out of the soil to prepare to bloom, that was an exhausting process that really took the whole year & may have left you feeling exhausted & discouraged, but hopefully you managed to sprout  & now you have emerged from the nourishing soil & you are ready to BLOOM, like a dandelion coming through concrete to bloom, nothing can stop you now, this is your GO FOR IT YEAR!!! Wood Feeds Fire so this will be the beginning of a 2 year PRODUCTIVE CYCLE that brings Changes for the Better! 

This year is represented by the Season of Full Bloom SPRING, you know that HOPEFUL feeling when your garden finally comes back to life after a long, hard Winter? That feeling of New Life being born, you can guess that this is a very FERTILE year, in more ways than one, if you want children, this is a great year for it, but Fertility means more than making babies, it can be used to CREATE art, make products and birth a new Business.   If you have been wanting to make a change, to move, change careers or LAUNCH a new Business, finally you will get the GREEN LIGHT to Go Forth & Prosper!  Now you will have all the Energy you need to make things happen this year!!! This is what we called in Chinese Medicine, a YANG Year, full of energy but you have to be careful that you don’t YANG OUT, meaning you have so much energy & you want to do so many things & you have all these ideas & you’re going in so many different directions all at once & then you just collapse in complete exhaustion & probably a headache!!! 

Remember a Fast Growing Tree still needs to have solid, strong ROOTS so make sure you are staying Grounded this year, you will need more Exercise to balance out all that energy, just so you can get to sleep & walking, hiking, forest bathing will be a great way to bring in more YIN Energy so you don’t Yang Out! This is a great year for receiving FOOT Massages or buy yourself some big boots that keep you rooted! 

Even though you finally have much more energy than you have had in years, remember to take it easy, you still want to FOCUS on what it is you want to give your precious life force energy to, what is it you want to do with your one magnificent life? What do you want to BLOOM into being this year?  

Try not to take on too much this year b/c sure this year is full of all this energy but you might not be feeling like that energizer bunny next year & the years to come, so if you commit to too much when you are feeling really good, just like in the Spring, you might live to regret it later on, so just like when your garden is in a full bloom, fast growing cycle, you might still need to prune back some things that have overgrown their spaces during this growth cycle & figure out how you want to balance all the things that are growing so that your garden can have harmony & nothing is overwhelming the space by growing out of control.
