The Chinese calendar marks February 4, 2025, as the beginning of Yang Earth Tiger Month and the beginning of the Chinese New Year, the Yin Wood-Snake. The calendar assigns one of the twelve animals, five elements, and the polarity of yin or yang to each year, month, day, and hour. The Yang Earth Tiger month extends until March 4, 2025.
The Yang Earth Tiger references the 27th hexagram described in the I Ching and used in Feng Shui. Its image is the Mountain trigram above, and the Thunder trigram below. The Yang Earth Tiger represents the "Corners of the Mouth". Of the twelve Chinese animals, the Tiger represents the third of their sequence. From the I Ching, we find this description of this month's hexagram:
The 27th hexagram of the I Ching, also called "Providing Nourishment" (Yi), is associated with themes of sustenance, balance, and the way we support life.

Here's the analysis and recommendations based on the channels, meridians, and cosmic influences in February 2025:
