The year Ất Tỵ 2025 (Snake) corresponds to the Fire element (specifically, “Fire of the Lamp”) in Vietnamese astrology. For this reason, choosing a person with compatible zodiac signs and elements to perform the first-footing can bring good luck and peace for the family. In the year Ất Tỵ, the zodiac signs Monkey (Thân), Rooster (Dậu), and Ox (Sửu) are generally considered favorable because they are compatible with the Snake (Tỵ). Furthermore, individuals with the Wood or Earth elements are ideal, as Wood enhances Fire, and Fire produces Earth, creating harmony and support.
