The boar is a kind and open nature, and therefore will not hold a grudge against you and will not screw you if you do not make any special preparations for it on New Year’s Eve. However, he will certainly be pleased if you remember him as you prepare to celebrate the New Year 2019.
The generous Pig is ready to give his friends a lot of gifts and pleasant surprises in 2020, so there is something to try for. Moreover, it is not difficult to please the Pig on New Year's Eve, and this process can please not only the owner of the year, but also you.
Here are 7 simple tips on how to attract the owner of the year, the Yellow Earth Pig, to your side:
Tip #1. Be lazy with the Boar!
If necessary, the Pig can show miracles of efficiency, but he, more than anyone, appreciates the opportunity to properly relax, philosophize, lie on a diva... that is, under a Christmas tree in the forest. To please him on New Year's Eve, follow the most pleasant rule: don't strain yourself.
Yes, before the New Year there is always a lot to do, but try to do them without unnecessary stress, so that you yourself will be happy. Let the apartment not be perfectly cleaned, the third salad still not finished, and the second cake not baked. But you will have a lot of energy left to have a hearty conversation with your loved ones and friends on New Year’s Eve, having received the full and unconditional approval of the owner of the Year of the Pig.
New Year's signs
Folk signs are formed over decades, and some even centuries. No one is trying to eradicate them; on the contrary, they are becoming more numerous. There are traditional Slavic ones, and there are European and Eastern ones. Some are repeated or complement each other, while others do not take root in the post-Soviet space.
- All cultures wear their best clothes during New Year's celebrations, which will lead to many new wardrobe additions throughout the coming year.
- Taking a loan on New Year's Eve, as well as repaying debts directly on December 31, is undesirable. This will entail permanent financial bondage.
- Only children under 7 years of age can sleep on New Year's Eve; everyone older should have fun and rejoice. Otherwise, the whole year will pass sluggishly, dullly, boringly.

- The festive table must be bursting with delights and the best dishes. Everything that the hostess is capable of in the culinary sense is exhibited at the New Year's feast. This is the key to a well-fed and rich future year.
- A few days before the holiday, the home must be thoroughly cleaned. First of all, attention is paid to mirror and glass surfaces. They should be washed and rubbed until transparent and crystal shiny.
- All hidden grievances should be released, and for the troubles caused to others, ask for forgiveness, so as not to bring bad things to either others or yourself next year.
- They inspect all the utensils in the house. Broken, chipped or cracked ones are thrown into the trash so that happiness does not flow out of the house through chips.
European signs that partly echo the Slavic tradition:
- England. If there is no food in the house and no money in the wallet, then next year you will have to beg. On December 31, nothing is taken out of the house, not even trash. If you continuously look at Big Ben at the beginning of the New Year, your wish will come true.
- Germany. When the chimes strike, you need to “jump” into the New Year by literally jumping from a chair or sofa.
- Italy. Red underwear on New Year's Eve promises good luck for the entire subsequent period. To make room for the new, Italians throw all old and outdated things out of the windows on New Year's Eve. Fish caviar on the table will bring abundance.
- Scandinavian peoples. Chipped, cracked dishes are disposed of in a unique way. They beat her on the neighbor's porch. And the more broken shards there are on your porch, the more successful the coming year will be.
Eastern signs are distinguished by their imagery, but even among them there are interpretations that are understandable to the Slavs:
- Vietnam. On the home altar they display: apple, coconut, papaya, mango. A free translation of the names of these fruits means something like this: “We ask that we have plenty of money.”
- China. The more light, noise and gunfire, the better. They are the legislators of fireworks, salutes, firecrackers and other spectacular lights. On the eve of the change of year, the house must be clean so that the deity of happiness has a place to stay.
- Japan. A merry new year with smiles and contagious laughter guarantees joy and happiness for the entire period. New smart clothes will also bring happiness and health.
Tip #2. Roll with the Boar
This advice directly follows from the previous one and suggests setting up a comfortable cozy “boar” rookery somewhere next to the Christmas tree on New Year’s Eve, perhaps in front of the TV.
Place a fluffy rug or blanket on the floor that will remind the Boar of soft forest cover, throw on a lot of different pillows. During the New Year's feast, you can change your location from time to time, moving with your friends from the table with a glass in your hands to this cozy “forest clearing” that evokes associations with a picnic. Believe me, this simple action will cause a lot of delight in you and your guests, and in addition, it will delight the host of the year.
What should men wear to celebrate the New Year 2019?
The Yellow Earth Pig is a symbol of financial well-being and optimism. Men should follow the dress code for the evening. As with women, there are two directions when choosing a wardrobe:
In more restrained colors (brown, walnut, sand, coffee with milk, etc.), classic expensive suit-shoes-accessories suggest the image of a successful businessman, financier, “golden” young man.
In a brighter, stylish outfit (remember the film “The Mask”), an incendiary image of a comedian, “the life of the party,” the god of parties is presented. Orange tie, yellow or red shoes, shiny shirt. But don’t overdo it - the Pig loves to be the center of attention, but, being sensitive to beauty, does not accept vulgarity.
Tip No. 3. Give treats!
The wild boar is a solid man, he loves to eat well, so the table for the New Year should be rich and varied: the well-fed owner of the year will obviously not be satisfied with just hare cabbage! Moreover, eclecticism on the New Year's table is only welcome: light vegetables and fruits, and heavy artillery in the form of “Olivier” and “Mimosa” would be appropriate. In addition, keep in mind that the omnivorous Pig does not mind eating sweets - a large and tasty cake will come in very handy. But you should refrain from libations “to the point of a pig’s squeal” when celebrating the New Year 2020: despite his not the most intelligent appearance, the Pig does not like table disgraces.
Tip #4: Meet!
According to the Chinese horoscope, the Pig is a sociable animal and values friendship and family. To demonstrate the same qualities to him on New Year’s Eve, you can listen to the president’s speech and the chimes in the company of your family, but continue the evening with friends. Just do not confuse friends with acquaintances and strangers; The boar is for constancy, and therefore you should celebrate its year together with those whom you truly value and love.
Another thing is the New Year holidays, which ideally should be a series of receptions and visits. Here you can demonstrate to Pig your widest circle of friends. The main thing during this time is not to do too much damage to your figure: the Pig prefers gatherings over a cup of tea and cake to active recreation. Well, never mind, let’s wait until the end of the New Year holidays - and go straight to the diet!
Tip No. 5. Give gifts!
Pig is a generous and caring nature; By demonstrating these same qualities on New Year's Eve, you will be able to enlist his sincere friendship and support for the entire 2020. So the third piece of advice when celebrating the New Year is: be attentive to others, sincere and generous.
Give “all your sisters some earrings”, make at least a small pleasant surprise to everyone who is nearby: loved ones, friends, colleagues and just acquaintances. It is worth showing a sign of attention to everyone with whom you come into contact, even if it is the most disgusting concierge from your entrance. Who knows, maybe your little chocolate will turn her into a kind old lady on New Year's Eve?
For Pig, sincerity and attention are important: it doesn’t matter how much you spend on a gift, it is important that you put your soul into it. Therefore, no gift cards or envelopes will do. Start choosing gifts in advance so that you have time to choose something special, from the heart.
Tip #6: Laugh!
The boar is a very positive animal, so ideally January 1st should be like April 1st with him: he loves to have a good laugh. That is why good pranks and funny competitions are appropriate when welcoming 2020. Perhaps this New Year will not be as trembling and mysterious as usual, but it will certainly be the most fun! The good-natured owner of the year will only be glad if you grunt or squeal with laughter every now and then throughout the New Year's Eve, like a young pig. Get as much positivity as possible on New Year's Eve, and Pig will do everything to ensure that this feeling does not leave you throughout 2020, which is passing under his auspices!
What awaits us in the year of the pig
The New Year of the Pig will be prosperous for representatives of all zodiac signs. The Earth Pig loves sincere feelings and most often gives his affection to people having fun. Most New Year's signs are associated with its symbol: this means you need to do everything possible to win the favor of the patron of the year.
There will be many events. You should expect both good and bad. It is believed that the Pig, completing the cycle of the eastern horoscope, collects everything that its predecessors did not have time to do. Many events are expected, their emotional coloring will be different.
In 2020, things started earlier should be completed. New beginnings are unlikely to be successful. If you are planning to start a new project, it is better to do it in the first months. Astrologers recommend waiting until 2020, when the energy of the Rat will favor beginnings and innovations.
Astrologers believe that a large number of children are expected to be born. Children born under the auspices of the Pig are cheerful. They are curious, strive to take part in what is happening around them, true to their principles and conservative.
Tip #7: Make peace!
According to the Chinese horoscope, the Pig is a peace-loving animal; he wants friendship and love to reign around him. If you are in a quarrel with someone, find the strength to make peace during these wonderful New Year’s days (and preferably before they arrive). Even if you are right and he (she) is wrong. Take a small step towards, and perhaps in response they will run towards you as fast as they can! Don’t bring offense to the New Year 2019, it’s better to ask the owner of the outgoing year - the Dog - to bury them somewhere under a tree in a far, far away forest!
