The year 2025 is under the Year of the Snake, and the new year brings in a new set of lucky Chinese zodiac signs.

In an interview on Unang Hirit this Wednesday, January 1, Feng Shui expert Johnson Manabat shared that those born in the Year of the Rooster, Monkey, and Horse are the top three lucky signs this year.

On the other hand, those born in the Year of the Pig might not be as lucky and could face some challenges, but he reassured that there's no need to worry too much.

SNAKE

Since it's the Year of the Snake, Manabat said that this is their year if they want to receive recognition or level up.

"Kapag sarili mong taon, maganda ang opportunities. Although malakas din ang conflict of energy. Kasi kung nasa stage ka na kilala ka at lahat nakatingin sa iyo, you are also prone sa mga people naman na naiinggit o puwedeng manira sa iyo," Manabat explained.

"Kaya dapat hindi padalos-dalos sa desisyon," he added.

RAT

According to Manabat, 2025 is a great year for people born in the Year of the Rat.

"I-push nila ang goals nila o target nila for the year. Kasi malakas yung power star nila, na kapag may gusto sila, puwedeng ma-create, puwedeng mangyari," he said.

But Manabat also advised that they need to stay focused and concentrate, and not to try to accomplish all their goals at once.

OX

Since the Snake is said to be friends with the Ox, 2025 is considered a "network" year, meaning there will be opportunities where many people could offer help.

"Although mababa ang energy ng Ox ngayon, specially in terms of health, 'yan kailangan medyo bantayan natin. Also dapat maging maingat lang tayo sa emotion," ayon kay Manabat, dahil maaari umanong makaapekto sa desisyon ang emosyon.

TIGER

2025 is also a good year for those born in the Year of the Tiger in terms of networking and connections. However, they are expected to face some challenges this year.

"Need to be careful also in terms of health, robbers, cheaters, swindlers, mga ganoon," Manabat reminded.

This year might not be the best time to invest in big investments, so it's important to stay calculated in taking risks.

RABBIT

When it comes to career, those under the Year of the Rabbit are bound for power, promotion or recognition.

"This is also the year to shine, but the problem lang is health. Kasi the more na mas sikat, maraming puwedeng gawin, mas mabilis silang mapagod, " Manabat added, "Kailangan life balance, napaka-importante."

DRAGON

The Dragon is also among the top 5 animal signs for 2025. According to Manabat, Dragons are known for not accepting bad luck and always having a positive outlook.

"Kaya this year, kung maraming good opportunities, puwedeng lumapit sa Dragon. If you have the right mindset, positive emotion, makukuha mo siya," he said.

SHEEP

Those born in the Year of the Sheep are set to achieve many goals this year.

"Maraming productivity, maraming achivements na maaaring makuha. Lalo na ang wealth star nasa kanila rin, so money star 'yon," Manabat predicted.

However, they need to pay extra attention to their health, especially in connection to gastrointestinal issues.

MONKEY

The Monkey is best friends with the Snake, and the Year of the Monkey signs are among the top three luckiest this year.

"So this year siyempre network connection, siyempre kung kaibigan mo 'yung taon, ikaw 'yung nilalapitan ng opportunities, ikaw 'yung nilalapitan din ng suwerte," Manabat said.

"Ang importante lang sa Monkey, you be more decisive. Kasi mamaya ang daming lumapit, hindi ka makapag-decide, natapos 'yung taon wala kang nagawa. At kailangan talaga may target goal ka," he continued.

ROOSTER

According to Manabat, the number one animal sign for 2025 is the Rooster, which is also a friend of the Snake, making it powerful in terms of networking and connections.

"It's the year sa expansion, it's the year na kapag mayroon kang gusto, i-push mo talaga siya. Although malakas ang conflict like inggit, naninira, huwag na nating masyadong pansinin. Dapat matuto lang tayong mag-dedma," he advised.

DOG

The year is also good for those born in the Year of the Dog because they will have mentors and advisers who can help them. However, they should also be cautious with their emotions, especially when it comes to handling their temper.

"Mas mabilis uminit ang ulo nila this year," ani Manabat na ipinaliwanag na sobrang analytical thinker ang mga Dog kaya nag-o-over anticipate sila sa puwedeng mangyari.

"That's where emotions came in. Kasi puwedeng maging frustration siya o fear," Manabat explained.

PIG

Many may feel alarmed because the Pig is known to be the Snake's enemy and will face challenges this year. However, Manabat explained that no one is truly unlucky.

"Kapag sinabi mong challenging year, baka mayroong mga pagsubok like changes, transformation," paliwanag niya. "Tibayan n'yo lang ang emotions n'yo kasi sometimes through transformation and changes, baka lalo kayong makakakuha ng much better opportunities," paliwanag niya.

According to Manabat, people born in the Year of the Pig are very emotional and driven by their emotions.
