What will the coming year 2020 be like?
The rat is the first animal of the Chinese zodiac. It was this that gained the authority of the most respected among the rest. The Rat is valued for its high intelligence and level of intuition. She is a brilliant tactician and strategist, which is why this hidden and cunning animal manages to cope with any problems.
It is worth noting that according to the Chinese calendar, the 2020 new year does not begin on January 1, but on the second new month after the winter solstice. In fact, the Metal Rat will come into its own on January 25th.

The Eastern (or Chinese) calendar has a cycle of 12 years. Moreover, each year has its own patron animal, as well as one of the elements.
Here I would like to recall an ancient Eastern legend that tells us how the Great Buddha called all living beings to a meeting. But in total, only twelve animals appeared to the sage, who were awarded, receiving immortality and alternate control over the Earth.
As for the approaching 2020, its ruler will be the Rat. It was she who was the very first to get to the Buddha's palace (however, it is worth noting that she did it dishonestly - she asked the Bull to carry her on his back, and in the end she jumped off and slipped into the chambers). However, the Rat was given the honor of becoming the discoverer of the 12-year cycle.
As we already know, according to the Eastern calendar, each animal necessarily corresponds to a certain governing element. In this we can observe the concept of Chinese natural philosophy, where life is in the form of an endless chain of changes against the background of the constant interaction of two energies: Yin (female, passive, earth energy) and Yang (male, active, sky energy).
From the masculine and feminine principles, 5 elemental elements were created, which have a great influence on the characteristics of a person’s character and behavior. The elements, according to the Chinese belief, are capable of both providing luck, attracting various benefits, and provoking endless troubles.
What are these elements (otherwise known as elements)?
- Wooden;
- Water;
- Fiery;
- Metal;
- Earthly.
Each of the elements has its own unique characteristics, so the nature and influence of animals of different elemental elements can vary significantly. So, 2020 will be ruled not by an ordinary Rat, but by a White and Metal one. What kind of character does this animal have?
- The Metal Rat is an ardent idealist;
- she has a strong, unyielding character;
- To get her favor, you have to try pretty hard.
It remains to find out the exact date of 2020, because, as you know, it in the Chinese astrological calendar does not at all coincide with our domestic one. Therefore, the upcoming year of the White Metal Rat will not officially begin on December 31, 2020, but will begin only on January 25, 2020. And will last until February 11, 2021 inclusive.
Interesting point. According to the Eastern calendar, the lunar year begins on different dates, but is limited to the time period from January 21 to February 20 annually.
What does the coming year promise?
The Chinese horoscope guarantees that the fusion of the Year of the Rat with the metal will bring good luck to ambitious people. The Rat will help those who intend to get rich and climb the hierarchical ladder, provided that the person completely devotes himself to this particular goal.
In addition, the Rat helps people to be far-sighted, and metal teaches people to be more patient.
The Rat has a good memory, capable of retaining the smallest details and, if necessary, extracting useful information from the depths of consciousness. She is always full of energy, can multitask and delegates tasks well.
The Rat's opinion is difficult to change; she desperately defends her point of view, even if it looks too selfish. Therefore, try to deal with such manifestations in your behavior. Contrary to the destructive tendency, listen carefully to others, if necessary, without refusing to help them.
Romantic relationships should be built on the basis of mutual trust. The metal rat will not welcome attempts by relatives to hide something important from each other. Let the path of honesty become a real priority, and your new love will be happy and strong.
However, it should be remembered that the metal element can make people colder and less sociable, as well as make it difficult to learn new information.
In terms of health, 2020 will please you. But you also need to be active: pay attention to sports, leave your comfort zone more often. This behavior will lead to an improvement in your mood.
How to celebrate the Year of the Metal Rat?
Despite the fact that the Rat collects all valuable things in its home, it is pragmatic and does not tolerate excess, unnecessary garbage in its presence. Therefore, be sure to do a thorough cleaning on the eve of the New Year. Be sure to clean your windows to help sunlight enter your home.
Since rodents prefer to stay in cozy nests, it is better to celebrate the coming year with your family, in your own home. However, at the same time, rats are social animals and cannot tolerate boredom, so have fun!
As for the color palette, it should be noted that the housewife of 2020 prefers calm basic colors: gray, white, black. They can be combined to create your own image, decorate your home, or decorate your Christmas tree.
A strict style and laconic contours can be complemented with bright accessories: metal pendants, shiny earrings, bright large brooches. If you want more varied shades, give preference to pastel variations.
The interior should be decorated in a restrained and calm style; the necessary accents can be added through a few bright details. Feel free to use eco-materials, especially since they are now in trend. Their use can highlight the love of nature. The rat will appreciate this craving for natural things.
General characteristics of the Rat sign
The main character qualities by which Mouse can be easily recognized are curiosity, attentiveness and observation. Don’t look at the fact that the animal is miniature in size - it is very smart, resourceful and quick-witted. In addition, he has an excellent sixth sense and instant reaction, which saves him in case of danger.
Without much effort, the Rat manages to adapt to new conditions of the surrounding world and find a common language with new people. In life, she shows high economy, frugality, in places bordering on real stinginess. At the same time, the Mouse is a romantic who has the talent of an orator and does not skimp on beautiful phrases.
Those born in the years of the Rat have all the qualities listed above. You can also divide all their character traits and behavior into positive and negative:
- Positive characteristics of Rat people: natural charm, thrift, empathy, sociability, sensuality, pronounced entrepreneurial spirit.
- Negative personality traits: excessive pickiness towards others, conflict, love of argument, inconstancy in desires and actions, self-confidence, exceeding one’s authority.
According to Eastern astrologers, it is best for Rats to choose the profession of a lawyer, financial expert, moneylender, broker, detective or writer.
And in order to find mutual understanding with the Metal Animal in 2020, you need to pay great attention to important matters, not miss the slightest detail, refuse wasteful financial spending, and also rely more on the voice of your heart.
What dishes to prepare?
The kind to please rodents. And they have a good appetite and are omnivores. Therefore, you need to maintain a balance between the rich variety of the festive table and the absence of exotic elements. The rat will not be offended if the dishes turn out to be quite simple.
It is important not to forget about cheese - this is the most important thing. Try to ensure that your cheese plate contains as many varieties of this delicious product as possible.
What to expect from a leap year?
The coming year of the Metal Rat is a leap year. The 366th day (February 29) will appear on the calendar. No need to panic! A leap year is not a terrible sentence, but just a certain exception to the usual rules.
Do not support the idea that troubles, or even disasters, will definitely happen. Such panicky moods will only create an imbalance in your daily life. In fact, astrologers promise exactly the opposite. The patron of 2020 is the Metal Rat. She will give you strong armor that will help protect you from potential dangers.
True, no one is safe from unexpected events in any year, not just in a leap year. There will probably still be some problems, but there is no need to passively indulge in fear in the face of future hurricanes. Be active in all areas of your life - and then your plans will certainly come true, and you will get your piece of cheese without much effort.
And by the way, you can quickly and tasty make cheese soup from it. It's perfect for cold winter evenings.
Year 2020
People create the future with their own hands. By believing in yourself, you can get whatever you want. Despite this, success depends on many factors. Astrologers claim that certain events occur due to the interaction of planets and constellations. Eastern philosophy associates certain periods of life with the influence of symbols, colors and elements. Atheists and pragmatists make plans based on the forecasts of analysts and highly specialized specialists. Fatalists are sure that there is no escape from fate. And believers trust in God. But the unifying link is curiosity - what will happen to us at the next stage of our life’s journey, what the year 2020 will be like in politics, economics, religion and the social sphere.
2020 is the year of which animal according to the Eastern calendar?
The calm, good-natured Pig is being replaced by a white metal Rat. Judging by her character, humanity will stop seeing the world around us through rose-colored glasses. Realism and a sober assessment of what is happening are the main quality of the totem. Thanks to cunning and perseverance, the Rat adapts to any external conditions. She is talented and loving, and also has charisma and a special charm. Representatives of the sign are excellent partners who value relationships. Therefore, 2020 will be ideal for romantic meetings.
The sociability, education, intuition and attractiveness of rats make it easy to make profitable acquaintances. Thanks to their natural desire for wealth and their qualities, they achieve success in those matters where others give up.
Depending on the season of birth, rats differ radically from each other in their attitude to finances:
- Spring and summer : squandering, frivolity, tendency to live at the expense of others.
- Autumn and winter : the desire to accumulate savings, thriftiness, prudence.
Among the positive characteristics, it is worth highlighting the gift of eloquence, which helps achieve success in negotiations with business partners and clients. The thirst for high status and meticulousness contributes to successful advancement in society.
The list of negative qualities included excitement and nervousness for no reason. Often the Rat uses cunning to manipulate people, and cynicism serves as a reason for distrust on the part of others. She does not admit her mistakes, and if she is offended, she is ready to take merciless revenge. Loves to gossip and weave intrigues.
The year 2020 will be an excellent period for saving money and improving your quality of life. The year is also favorable for moving to a new place of residence or renovation, as the Rat quickly adapts to changes. What does the next period have in store for other signs:
Boar
A good year for those involved in the arts profession. Creative people can receive universal recognition. New love is just around the corner.
Dog
The year will be boring, as those born under the auspices of the Dog strive to achieve high goals. And all around there is only petty fuss and empty chores.

Predictions and prophecies for Russia for 2020
The year 2020 became special in the activities of famous astrologers and psychics. Many of them shared their visions for the coming period.
Vanga
She placed special emphasis on 2020, because she believed that it would be marked by the arrival of a great leader who would change the situation in the world and establish peace. According to the seer, this particular period will be a turning point:
- Money will disappear from everyday life and will be replaced by numbers.
- People will create a new source of energy, many times greater than the Sun.
- The authorities will cease to control people and chaos will come to the earth. Only Russia will not lose its statehood.
- There will be a catastrophic religious conflict in Europe that will continue for many years.
Pavel Globa
It portends a difficult time for the Russian Federation. People will understand that the direction of the government is a utopia and it will no longer be possible to live as before. According to the astrologer, the intensity of discontent in society will occur during the merger of Jupiter with Saturn in 2021. According to him, one should not expect a big “explosion” from the population, as was the case in 1917.
Presumably, the revolution will affect the top. The authorities will understand that change is inevitable and the country needs to be saved, otherwise it will face a split and loss of statehood. Within 4 years, Russians will face a transition period, and from 2024 an unprecedented rise will begin not only in the economy, but also in all spheres of life.
Matrona of Moscow
She predicted difficult times for Russia and the further they went, the worse they would become. Many residents will prefer living in big cities to villages and holiday villages. Thanks to the land plots, they will be able to feed their families.
The most recent predictions of the seer include the words that she uttered almost on her deathbed:
“There will be a great confrontation between Russia and other world powers without military conflict. The result will be the extinction of all life on the planet.”
No one knows the specific meaning of her words. But some experts speculate that such a scale is comparable to the use of nuclear weapons.

How to attract good luck: New Year's preferences of the Rat
In order to gain the favor of the totem, and with it success and security, it is necessary to celebrate the New Year, taking into account the preferences of the white metal Rat. You should immediately take into account that the rodent will become a patron on January 25th. Therefore, it is advisable not only to traditionally celebrate January 1, but also to pay attention to the Chinese holiday of “spring”. Moreover, it falls on Tatyana’s Day and Student’s Day.
The Rat is very sociable, so it is recommended to celebrate the celebration in a large noisy company. For outdoor fun, places for mass celebrations or renting a country cottage are perfect. You should also choose an evening wardrobe and accessories of a certain color:
- white,
- silver,
- light grey.
The decoration and table setting should correspond to these colors: white tablecloth, silver-patterned dishes, candles, and, if possible, silver cutlery. In the center you need to place a figurine of a Rat. In the decor of the room, you can use light curtains, decorate a white Christmas tree, decorate the windows with “protrusions” made of white paper or aluminum foil.
