2025 Year of the Snake motoring zodiac for motorists

Turbocharge your journey of prosperity in the Year of the Wood Snake with this Viper-powered automotive almanac, adapted from expert advice provided by Way Fengshui Group.

Whatever car you drive and the life you lead, it would be good to know what might lie ahead - on the road, off the road, and wherever else your wheels of fortune will roll over, with or without a whiff of wheelspin. 

Feng shui masters might differ in the details of their popular annual predictions for the Lunar New Year, which launches the Snake like a Dodge Viper in a drag race on 29 January 2025. But the key points covered by said masters and trusted by their faithful followers tend to be similar - lucky numbers, lucky colours, helpful stars, harmful stars, good months, bad months, positive elements, negative elements. 

Sincere advice is also provided to supercharge your odds of a better/happier life in the next 12 months of the current Chinese zodiac animal.

Here, then, is a positive automotive almanac focused on boosting your drive life behind the wheel in the Year of the Snake, based on your own zodiac animal.
