What Should 1989 Snakes Avoid in Their Birth Year
Avoid items and environments with excessive fire elements: During the birth year, fire and earth energies are naturally strong. Frequently wearing red (fire element) clothing or using warm-toned home decor (such as orange curtains) can intensify the "fiery and dry earth" energy field, leading to irritability and poor decisions. It is especially advisable to avoid placing electric heaters or scented candles in the bedroom, as these can cause "fire disturbing the mind," increasing the likelihood of insomnia and arguments.Instead, use light blue (water element) or white (metal element) as alternatives, using the principle of "water controlling fire and metal generating water" to balance the energies. Place a hydroponic green ivy in the southern part of the house (the fire area) to counteract the fiery heat.
Avoid blind investments and partnerships: The combination of Jia Wood and Si Fire creates a "protective seal nurturing the peer," which may seem like having a benefactor but can lead to financial disputes due to "brotherly competition." Avoid high-risk investments (like futures or virtual currencies), especially partnerships with people born in the Year of the Tiger or Pig (Si-Hai clash, Yin-Si harm), as differences in values can lead to financial losses.
This is a year focused on stable income, so it's best to focus on your main job and reduce side ventures. Suspend all investment decisions during the fourth lunar month (Si month) and seventh lunar month (Shen month) until the energy stabilizes before taking action.
Avoid isolation and overwork: Excessive fire and earth energy can create internal heat, and prolonged solitude can amplify anxiety, resulting in self-internal conflict. Overworking and staying up late (fire-related behaviors) will accelerate energy depletion, potentially causing health issues (such as palpitations and hair loss).
Maintain social interaction by meeting with friends born in the Year of the Monkey (Si-Shen六合) weekly to relieve stress through compatible energies. Ensure seven hours of sleep daily, and avoid electronic screens (fire-related devices) one hour before bedtime. Soak your feet in hot water (a water-related behavior) to balance the energy field.
Will a 36-Year-Old Snake Definitely Get Divorced?
At 36, those born in 1989 face challenges in their marriage, but "definite divorce" is a misconception. In fate, it's more about the challenge of "fire disturbing the marital palace," and the outcome depends on how both sides respond:Roots of emotional fluctuations: In 2025, the Si Fire clashes with the marital palace (if the spouse's star is Metal, then Si Fire harms Metal), making it easy to have arguments due to irritability. Snakes are sensitive and suspicious in their birth year, and if the spouse is born in the Year of the Tiger or Pig (Si-Hai clash), it can intensify the "energy conflict," possibly escalating tensions in the tenth lunar month (Hai month).
However, "Si-Shen六合" means that if the spouse is born in the Year of the Monkey or often interacts with elderly people born in the Year of the Monkey, it can buffer conflicts through the three-way union energy, significantly improving marital stability.
Key variables determining whether a divorce occurs: In fate, "peer stealing wealth" indicates an imbalance in the relationship — if the Snake neglects family due to work, the spouse may feel dissatisfied. If both are stubborn and lack communication, the relationship may break down. On the contrary, if they actively reconcile during the fifth lunar month (Wu month) and eleventh lunar month (Zi month), it can resolve the issue.
Schedule a couple's heart-to-heart talk weekly (avoiding peak fire times). The Snake should temper their dominant nature, and the spouse should offer more affirmation, thus mitigating the adverse effects of "fire harming metal." Place a copper gourd in the southwest corner of the house (the earth area representing the spouse) to enhance the "earth generating metal" energy and strengthen the relationship.
Specific ways to avoid risks: Wearing a Hetian jade (earth element) pendant during the birth year can increase personal tolerance. Both partners can participate in wood-related activities (like planting trees or visiting botanical gardens) to use the "wood controlling earth" energy to ease pressure. When conflicts arise, take 24 hours to cool down, avoiding hurtful words. The advice of elderly people born in the Year of the Dog (Si-You-Chou trinity) can effectively ease the relationship.
Balancing Energy in the Birth Year: Carry a piece of obsidian (water element) daily, and touch it when feeling irritable to calm emotions. On the 15th of each lunar month (full moon), place a bowl of water at home to use the "moon-water harmony" energy to purify the fortune and reduce interference.
Marriage Management Tips: Remember "fire needs water to balance." Do something small for your spouse (like preparing breakfast or sharing work stories) to nurture the relationship with details. If your spouse is born in the Year of the Tiger or Pig, consider keeping a cat (wood element) together to use the wood energy to buffer the clash and add common topics.
Balancing Mindset and Action: There's no need to over-worry during the birth year. As a "Great Forest Wood" person, you naturally have resilience. View challenges as opportunities for growth. Focus on "water-related actions" — drink more water, walk regularly, and listen more. This will not only balance the energy field but also accumulate strength steadily, preparing for future fortune recovery.
Fate is a trend, not a certainty. By avoiding taboos and managing carefully, 1989 Snakes can not only pass through this year smoothly but also let their marriage and life mature through the trials.
