Year of the Snake predictions for Donald Trump, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin
What’s 2025 going to be like for three of the world’s most powerful people? Two feng shui masters make predictions using Chinese astrology
Chinese President Xi Jinping, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are going to shape – and possibly reshape – the world in the coming years. So what does the Year of the Snake have in store for them, and the rest of us?
Xi Jinping
Date of birth: June 15, 1953; Snake
Xi’s chart is characterised by a strong fire element accompanied by earth, metal and water, representing a typical combination of strength and prosperity. This type of chart is highly compatible with metal and water elements.
Although 2025 is a year of strong fire, as stoked by its fundamental wood element, the interaction between fire and wood also creates metal in Chinese astrology.
Metal represents Xi’s “wealth star” which, in the context of a leader’s chart, can also reflect the financial condition of a nation. Therefore, this year will initially present challenges, but gradually they will ease away.
