As we welcome the Year of the Snake, we speak with Hong Kong’s esteemed fengshui master and metaphysics expert Pius Chan to determine the lucky colours for every Chinese zodiac this year.
Those born in the Year of the Monkey and Chicken should wear more green for better wealth, while those from the Year of the Ox, Horse, and Dog would benefit from wearing gold.
