Chinese sages have developed principles, the observance of which allows us to correctly build the energy of our living space and take advantage of the positive vibrations that higher forces direct us.
The Chinese teachings of Feng Shui will help you attract good luck for 2020!
Proper circulation of energy reserves will contribute to the realization of all our plans and wishes. Of course, to achieve spiritual and material benefits, you will have to make an effort and celebrate the holiday in such a way as to please the star patron. In 2019, the totem animal will be the Yellow Earth Pig. Let's find out how to properly organize a holiday according to the requirements of Feng Shui, and find out what techniques and tricks will help you attract good luck and favor of the symbol of the year!
Despite the fact that you can find almost any information on the Internet, many are sure that celebrating the New Year, according to Feng Shui, is simply a matter of choosing clothes in colors that suit the totem animal. However, Feng Shui is a teaching that covers many aspects that would take a whole book to list. However, let’s leave the subtle nuances to the Chinese sages, and let’s get acquainted with the fundamental rules that will help you attract Fortune to your side.
Rule No. 1: Preparing your home
Chinese sages believe that life can only be filled with new events when there is free space for them. That is why, a few weeks before the celebration, you need to clean your home. In addition, it is worth spending time on a couple of important things.
General cleaning of the house will clear the way for energy flows
- Conduct a thorough audit of your home - review all the things you have accumulated over the year and throw away everything that is outright garbage. The first in line to be thrown away are broken toys, broken and chipped dishes, torn items, faulty equipment, old receipts and papers that litter cabinet shelves and desk drawers. Don’t forget about gadgets - delete unnecessary files from your laptop and phone, clear your email of spam and irrelevant letters. Give away things you simply don't use to people in need. All these blockages impede the normal circulation of cosmic energy flows, preventing you from making new purchases and receiving good news. Old anchors hold you back on the path forward, and sewn clothes are considered a serious drain on vitality;
- Make way for energy flows - the Chinese say that they penetrate into our homes along with the rays of the sun, so you need to make sure that there are as few unnecessary objects on the windowsills as possible, cluttering up the space. It is recommended to remove even indoor flowers for a couple of weeks before and after the New Year, moving them to shelves, tables and stands;
- Now you need to “accelerate” the energy flows, giving them additional acceleration - for this you need to do some minor repairs, refreshing the wallpaper and changing the curtains. However, you can limit yourself to rearranging a couple of tables, bedside tables and cabinets, or new decor in the form of a tablecloth and sofa cushions. Alas, in the current economic climate, annual renovations are a luxury;
- At the end, do some general cleaning of the premises - you should pay attention to literally every item in the house. Dust the tops of shelves and cabinets, look under sofas and chairs, wash curtains, organize books and clothes, wash windows and be sure to wipe down mirrors and glass surfaces, including dishes. These items are especially important for accumulating positive energy.
Year of the Dragon - which years are suitable for love relationships?
The Chinese horoscope advises people born in the year of the Dragon to turn their attention to partners born under the signs of the Rooster, Monkey and Rat. Representatives of these signs will each perfectly complement the Dragon in their own way. It will not be difficult for the Rooster to live in the shadow of his partner’s glory. If necessary, he will easily survive a period of lack of money, which will please the practical Dragon. The Monkey, with its characteristic flexibility, will easily adapt to the difficult character of the Dragon man. The Rat will conquer his partner with his devotion and ability to manage the family budget. Undesirable partners for family relationships with the Dragon are the Tiger and the Dog. Tiger people are quite charismatic and tend to create imbalance in the Dragon's life. Such a relationship is more likely to resemble a fight club than a harmonious relationship of a loving couple. For the Dragon, Dog People are overly tense, wary and pessimistic. These qualities can irritate the self-confident Dragon, and he will quickly get tired of supporting the spirit of his dreary partner.
Rule #2: Work on yourself
Before the holiday, be sure to make peace with everyone with whom you were in a quarrel.
Cleaning should be carried out not only in your home, but also in your own head - take the time to clear your thoughts and consciousness of negativity. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, a new period of life should be greeted in a state of complete renewal. Let go of your problems, make peace with those with whom you were in a quarrel, forgive harsh words to offenders, and stop being offended by people yourself. Mentally wish everyone happiness and health. It is imperative to have a positive attitude towards the future - this is the only way the cosmos will send you new achievements.
Rule No. 3: Installing a Christmas tree
By placing a Christmas tree according to Feng Shui, you will help make your wishes come true.
If your home is already sparkling with cleanliness, you can think about themed decor. Of course, the Chinese have their own traditions in this regard - they do not decorate the usual Christmas trees and do not hang wreaths. But it is possible to adopt the basic rules of Feng Shui in our realities. The main thing is the choice of place to install the New Year's tree. Sit down and think about what exactly you want to achieve in 2020. Depending on this, place the Christmas tree in a certain place:
- Do you want a salary increase, frequent bonus payments, a good year for trading? Then the elegant Christmas tree should be placed in the south-eastern part of the room;
- Are you going to ask the good forces so that the quarrels in your family will finally subside, your relatives will learn to find a common language, children will become more tolerant of their parents, parents will learn to understand their children, and husbands and wives will again feel the strength of the bonds of marriage? Then the Christmas tree should be placed in the sector located in the east;
- Can't you imagine a new calendar period without victories and universal recognition? Choose the most southern point in the room. By the way, this same sector is also responsible for the success of all people in creative professions, so this is where you need to place a tree in the house of a singer, poet, photographer, artist, fashion designer or decorator;
- Do you think the most important thing in 2020 is health? Place the Christmas tree strictly in the central part of the room. This way you can not only dance in circles, but also provide a surge of energy to the sector that is responsible for our vitality;
- Do you dream of little feet stomping in your house and a son or daughter joining your family? Find the westernmost part of the room - this is where the energy that helps to conceive and give birth to babies is collected;
- Looking to make your next career leap? Look at which point in the apartment is the northernmost and place the Christmas tree in this place;
- Are you thinking about how it would be nice to become wiser and smarter in the new year? Choose the place where the Chinese sages themselves installed the “tree of light”, that is, in the northeast. There is a particularly high concentration of cosmic flows aimed at stimulating thought processes and generating extraordinary ideas;
- Do you dream of traveling around countries and seeing the world as much as possible? Find a place for the Christmas tree in the northwest. A New Year's tree in this sector will make you sure to travel.
The secret to effective planning
The secret of success is that each lesson corresponds to the time period that is optimally suitable for it according to Feng Shui.
Any person periodically faces the fact that some work, which he previously could easily cope with, suddenly stops and does not proceed, no matter how much effort is put in. And the reason is just the wrong time of day for him.
The proverb says: “There is a time for everything.” And indeed it is. There is an ideal time for any kind of activity or work, from eating to magical practices. You just shouldn’t plan risky things during the hour of the Monkey in Feng Shui, but sort things out during the hour of the Horse.
Rule No. 4: Decorating your home according to Feng Shui
Paired candles are a mandatory New Year's attribute according to the Chinese.
The next important point is the choice of decorations for the Christmas tree and home. So…
- The main colors of 2020 are almost all shades of yellow, brown, ocher, khaki, olive and gold. You can add some red bows or balls, since according to Feng Shui, fiery tones are responsible for attracting well-being;
- The pig loves natural materials, so decor made from pine cones, wood, acorns and twigs will suit you. From natural materials you can make Christmas wreaths, themed toys and festive table compositions;
- The main shape of all earthen totems is a square. Make sure that it is present in your home decor - for example, by making traditional Chinese envelope squares with coins to decorate your Christmas tree. It is also better to pack gifts in square boxes. This way you will attract financial flows;
- Don't forget about an important Chinese rule - you need to hang tangerines on the Christmas tree. They are also given to everyone who came to the party. Moreover, you need to give strictly two pieces - so that the people dear to you are not lonely;
- It is worth appeasing the Pig by hanging the totem figurines of the year on the Christmas tree and placing them in the house. You can buy them, but it’s better to make them yourself;
- A mandatory New Year's attribute is paired candles on tables and window sills. They will provide a surge of energy responsible for peace and happiness in the home. There should also be a bunch of bells hanging in the house - their melodic chimes will drive away unkind spirits from the home.
Rule No. 5: Organization of a holiday and feast
There should be a lot of gold and natural materials on the festive table.
The Pig values traditions and respects elders, so it is best to spend the New Year in a narrow family circle, as the Chinese do. Even if you have planned to go downtown or want to go to a party at a club, be sure to find a couple of hours to spend time with your parents and grandparents. As for the holiday table, here you need to follow these tips:
- The New Year's feast should be characterized by diversity - the Chinese always prepare a variety of dishes, programming the coming year for abundance and prosperity. An obligatory tradition is to make a variety of dumplings with fillings. It is believed that all family members should take part in preparing dishes for the feast;
- The hostess of 2020 is an animal that can safely be called an omnivore, so you can put on the table any dishes except those prepared with pork. The pig loves sweets very much, so you need to prepare several desserts. She also loves vegetables and almost everything meaty. You can put poultry, fish, herbs, pickles, fresh salads, and potato side dishes on the table. At the same time, the totem of the year is quite unpretentious - dishes can be simple and satisfying;
- There should also be variety in the drinks, but without pathos - bright cocktails with intricate recipes are best left for another year, but homemade fruit drinks, compotes and uzvars will suit the pig’s guts. As for alcohol, vodka, cognac and wine are preferable;
- Be sure to decorate your table in the colors of the coming year! As for textures, the Pig is a supporter of natural materials, so you can cover the surface of the tabletop with a linen or cotton tablecloth or runner. It is desirable that the dishes should be dominated by porcelain of laconic forms, earthenware, clay or wooden dishes, gravy boats, pepper shakers, salt shakers and napkin holders;
- The table itself should not have pronounced corners - ideally, its surface should be round or oval. However, you can get out of this situation by draping the corners of a square or rectangular table with the folds of the tablecloth.
Career
As mentioned above, the coming year of the Rat is completely unsuitable for new projects or attempts to self-realize by starting your own business. Ideally, Dragons should spend this year in the field in which they were most recently, without making attempts to take a higher position and without looking for another profession. All these actions will be extremely troublesome and will most likely bring disappointment and a desire to return to your old workplace. Those same Dragons who will enter 2020 unemployed should look for a job that requires constant movement, possibly travel and travel, but not vegetating in the office with colleagues. Otherwise, there is a risk of serious conflict and increasing dissatisfaction with one's situation.
Rule #6: Choose the right outfit
Clothes made of golden fabric will attract financial flows into your life.
The best outfit for meeting 2020 is not too flashy. Of course, it should be spectacular, but it is better to use laconic decor and soft colors, as close as possible to natural shades. The pig loves silk, linen, satin, cotton, velvet textures with predominantly natural threads. She is quite democratic about decor and prints. However, she may not like the excessive metallic shine.
Remember: it is best to buy yourself a new dress or suit. As a last resort, buy at least one new thing to delight yourself with purchases and acquisitions throughout the year. We have already outlined a list of the main shades of the year, but each of them has its own meaning for the Yellow Pig.
- Do you want to improve your well-being and provide an influx of finances? Then all shades of the yellow spectrum and golden tones will suit you;
- Do you want to hint to the Pig that your cherished dream is good health? Choose clothes in orange or ocher tones;
- Do you strive with all your heart for peace and tranquility to reign in your family? Find your brown or coffee tone;
- Individuals who were themselves born in one of the years of the reign of the Pig can choose an elegant black color. It is he who is the main one for this sign.
When choosing accessories, you can practically not limit yourself - the Pig will appreciate wooden jewelry, costume jewelry or jewelry with natural stones, gold and silver, because they are mined from the bowels of the earth, and 2020 is the period of the reign of the Earth Pig. The style of the chosen outfit and hairstyle should be flowing, so you should do light curls, messy braids or buns. In makeup, it is better to stick to the basic tones of 2020. It should look natural, highlighting your natural beauty.
Positive and negative traits
A person born in the year of the Dragon involuntarily finds himself in the center of attention in any company. He is very original in his judgments, so he feels genuine interest in himself from those around him. Representatives of this sign are distinguished by an inexhaustible supply of vitality and amazing performance. People born in the year of the Dragon are sometimes capable of committing impulsive, rash acts. But this is the exception rather than the norm.
Representatives of this sign have a fairly wide range of hobbies. They give particular preference to sports hobbies. Dragons are known as avid travelers and lovers of novelty. In the industrial sphere, they are able to achieve success in many fields: in medicine, acting, military affairs and teaching. This is not the entire list of professions available to a brilliant representative of this sign.
The Chinese horoscope endowed a person born in the year of the Dragon with not only pleasant character traits. Some personalities of this sign can be extremely selfish and impatient in relationships with others. Their character often reveals self-centeredness, ruthlessness and impatience. Astrologers urge Dragon people to curb the dark side of their personality in order to live in harmony with themselves and the world around them.
Rule No. 7: Choosing gifts according to Feng Shui
Gifts for the New Year 2020 should create real comfort in your home!
The totem of the year has its own list of preferred gifts:
- The pig loves comfort, so you can and should give your family and friends something for the home - like a beautiful lamp, pillows for the sofa, a rug, a set of towels or bed linen. You can also give as a gift personal items that fill life with comfort, that is, slippers, pajamas, a terry robe or a set of home clothes;
- The practicality of the Pig means that in 2020 you can present any household utensils, household appliances or gadgets;
- The pig loves plants, so it is quite appropriate to present a flower in a pot or a garden care kit;
- A themed gift for the New Year - a piggy bank in the shape of a funny pig. This is both a symbol of 2020 and an object that concentrates the energy of money;
- The totem of the year will be happy with everything related to relaxation - give a certificate for a visit to the spa, a trip to a sanatorium or resort, tickets to a concert or to a game center;
- Another block of gifts is everything that is of natural origin. You can choose gifts made of wood, stone, precious metals and fabrics, or give homemade baked goods.
We wish you that the above tips will definitely concentrate positive energy in all areas of your life and fill it with new victories and successes! Well, to fight against intrigues and failures, do not forget to buy loud firecrackers and bright fireworks - the Chinese recommend driving away evil forces throughout New Year's Eve not only with the help of cheerful laughter and songs, but also with sparklers and explosions of fireworks.
