What to Expect: Year of the Pig 2019

December 31, 2018 by Belinda Mendoza 2 Comments

Well, I hope you had a great New Year and an even better Year of the Dog. If not, you have a great opportunity in 2019 with Earth Pig. He brings in much prosperity, wealth, joy, and abundance. It is a year that all the signs will have an opportunity to do well.

January is the time to prepare for the Chinese New Year or the Lunar Year. Make sure to de-clutter, get rid of old unused items. Get rid of anything you do not want to take into the new year. Write powerful intentions for your desires in the year. Clean your house and yard. These are good ways to set the tone for new beginnings. It is always important to remedy the flying stars for the year. This is part of Classical Feng Shui that is so powerful in creating a harmonious and prosperous year.

In Chinese culture, Year of the Pig is a sign of wealth and good fortune. The 12th of all zodiac animals, the Pig has a beautiful personality and while they don’t stand out in a crowd, they are known to be realistic and reliable. They enjoy living the good life, but aren’t quick to spend on just anything. When they do spend, it’s on the occasional materialistic item that represents their hard work to achieve it.

It’s not officially Chinese New Year 2019 until Tuesday, February 5 but Year of the Pig will already be active starting January 1 so it’s not too early.

In 2019 in particular, Pigs are represented through the Earth element and are naturally social butterflies. They adore their friends and have a life filled with plenty of support. They aren’t the most romantic, but find success in life.

CAREER

Avoid changing careers in 2019. Work hard and be cautious of conflict, approach problems with practicality and patience when faced with confrontation. 2019 is not the year for large investments or gambling. While Pigs are often fairly fortunate, this year will not be overly filled with wealth so spend wisely.

EDUCATION

When thinking about pursuing higher education, 2019 is a great year for classes and courses as it will position you for greater opportunities in the future.

HEALTH

2019 is an important year to take care and keep a close eye on smaller health-related ailments that can become more serious. While major illnesses aren’t expected, that all depends on Pigs taking proper care of those smaller issues when/if they arise. If you’re feeling under the weather, don’t ignore it. Eat more fruits and vegetables for a boosted immune system and maintain a healthy, balanced diet throughout 2019.

LOVE

While it’s not a year of true romance, it’s still a year for new friendships and new prospects for the future. Be mindful of relationships and connections that don’t work out and learn from those experiences. 2019 will be all about learning what works and what doesn’t. Focus on growing your group of friends before rushing into new relationships. If you’re already in a relationship going into the new year, listen to your partner and improve the communication between the two of you to avoid any resentment.

Year of the Yang Earth Dog 2018

What does this mean for you?

The Chinese Zodiac moves in a 12-year cycle so those born in 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and 2018 are born in the Year of the Dog. Asian astrology – distinguished by your birth year and the animal it represents – helps understand your personality traits and the year ahead of you.

Anyone born in the Year of the Yang Earth Dog 2018 will be communicative, serious, and responsible in the workplace. The last time we had a Year of the Earth Dog was in 1958! Earth Dogs are specifically known to distinguish the good from the bad. With a lot of hard work, the Earth Dog will achieve success through persistence and a dedicated attitude.

What does Yang mean?

Exterior energy. In Feng Shui, it can be characterized as sunlit rooms, high ceilings, and open spaces. A fun-loving and gentle energy that will help welcome a New Year!

What is an Earth Dog?

Earth energy is all about feeling grounded. Earth Dogs may be slow to move and slow to progress, but it’s all about finding their perfect balance to get further ahead. Persistence and dedication is key!

What to expect?

People born in the Year of the Dog are said to be independent, friendly and loyal. Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year, welcomes this new change in animal along with a new Feng Shui element. Famous dogs include David Bowie, Steven Spielberg, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Madonna and Mother Teresa.

On Thursday February 15, a solar eclipse coincides with Chinese New Year just as the cocky Fire Rooster passes the torch to the loyal Earth Dog. Year of the Yang Earth Dog will take place until February 4, 2019:

We should all begin to feel a little more grounded.
With more stability comes more peace and diplomacy.

Chinese New Year 2018

As we probably know by now, Feng Shui is about attracting positive things into our lives. Friday, February 16 is the Chinese New Year (otherwise known as Lunar New Year) and the best time to highlight on these auspicious elements in our life!

A beloved tradition of Chinese culture, Chinese New Year is a 15-day celebration and begins on the second New Moon of the year. A Chinese Zodiac and Feng Shui Element determines the energy for that year.

Welcome Earth Dog!

How to prepare for Chinese New Year 2018

A Clean Home. Your home should be sparkly clean before the New Year as it’s bad luck to clean the first few days of this holiday. The same goes for your yard and car. It helps get a fresh start on the year. It’s like beginning on a clean state.

Home Decor. Red, a known auspicious color in Feng Shui, is great to wear on Chinese New Year for good luck. Also implement the color gold where you can as this promotes abundance and success. Placing items of Love, Prosperity, Abundance, Joy, Happiness and Success are all key words that should be focused throughout your home or office.

Clothing. Welcome the New Year with new clothing. Donate old items to help make room for some new pieces. This will ensure you start the year with fresh energy.

Food. One of the most important parts of a Chinese New Year is the food that you consume. Mandarin oranges for luck, fish for abundance, and uncut noodles for a long life! Be sure to share a meal with family or friends on that day.

Gifts. Red envelopes with money signify abundance being passed to family and friends. Chinese culture often gift these little tokens of gratitude for financial well-being. You can also use them to place intentions you have written for the New Year and place it in areas you’d like to enhance. One in the bedroom for love and romance, one in your office for more business, etc.
