Gold and Blue: The Power Colors of 2025
Master Kenny Hoo recommends incorporating a striking gold and blue color combination into your living spaces this year. According to Hoo, “In 2025, gold and blue are the colors that will attract the most cosmic energy.” These colors aren’t just for decor—they’re tools to help you align with good fortune. “Whether it’s for meetings, clothing, or branding, the gold and blue combination will bring you more success and better results,” he adds. So, if you’re looking to boost your emotional well-being and enhance your relationships, these vibrant hues can help you harness the energy of the year.
Energizing Key Sectors: The East, South, and West
For optimal feng shui in 2025, Master Hoo highlights the importance of focusing on three key areas within your home or office: the east, south, and west. “The wealth sectors are the east and south. These areas need to be neat, bright, and airy. A closed, dark space won’t work,” he explains. Keeping these sectors clear of clutter and maintaining a breezy, light-filled atmosphere encourages good energy and positive vibes. Master Hoo suggests using these spaces regularly: “Sit there when you work or meet clients. This will help you resonate with good qi and attract success.”
When it comes to feng shui, Master Hoo is clear: “I don’t believe in using ornaments or gadgets. The true power of feng shui comes from the energy flow itself.” The last area he focuses on is the west sector, which is linked to scholastic achievement and creative efficiency. “The west is the sector of intelligence and wisdom. It’s not only for students; it’s important for businessmen too. If you want to be more creative and efficient in your work, this is the space to be,” Hoo advises. Keeping this area tidy is key: “Mess creates stagnation. If the space is cluttered, your flow of energy becomes stuck, and you won’t be able to think or work clearly.” Hoo suggests making the west sector a designated study area or workspace to enhance both your intellectual capacity and work efficiency.
Master Kenny Hoo advises to “make full use of these spaces,” even beyond business and studies, by purposefully sitting in these key sectors of your home or office. He explains that feng shui is not just about creating a visually pleasing environment—it’s about aligning yourself with the natural energy of these areas to enhance all aspects of life. By regularly spending time in the east, south, and west sectors, you can harness their specific energies to improve emotional well-being, creativity, and prosperity. For instance, sitting in the east sector can invite a sense of abundance and connection, while the west sector can boost mental clarity and innovation.
Period 9: A Time of Celebration, Transformation, and Joy
The year 2025 marks the second year of the Grand Feng Shui Cycle 9, which Master Hoo describes as a period full of opportunity and transformation. “In Period 9, the energy is all about celebration, success, and joy. We are entering a phase where the world will become more peaceful, happier, and progressive,” he describes. This period is ruled by the fire element, which brings passion, creativity, and transformation to the forefront.
He emphasizes that this is a win-win year for all: “Everyone has a chance to rise to the occasion. We’ll see more opportunities for leadership, recognition, and spiritual growth.” With the fire element’s influence, and by embracing these feng shui principles and aligning your space with the powerful energies of 2025, Master Hoo believes you can unlock new opportunities for growth, prosperity, and well-being.
