According to Chinese mythology, the Year of the Fire Rooster starts on January 28 and in order to have luck on our side, according to the beliefs, we're going to have to make some changes around us.
The Fire Rooster symbolizes a new beginning and 2017, the year it reigns over, will bring various events for every single one of us, although not all will be of a positive nature.
The Rooster will demand more actions and efficient adaptation to everything new, in order for us to be successful. We also need to work hard if we want to achieve our goals, instead of giving up at the first obstacle.
If you wish to have more success in your undertakings, rely on the elements that are considered lucky in the year of the Fire Rooster.
1. Throw out everything old/unused
With the coming of the Chinese New Year, it's advised you do a full house cleaning and throw out all unused possessions. Begin the year anew by giving away anything you no longer use or simply putting it in the garbage because it brings negative energy to the home.
2. Use soft and warm colors
In the Year of the Fire Rooster, bright colors such as red are not going to bring luck but warm tones will attract fortune to us. In 2017, go for brown, purple, green, beige and sandy nuances.
3. Bring in more fire to your home
Place more candles around the house in this new year, as it is under the patronage of the fire element, which will attract luck to you. Besides candles, you can decorate with plumed cockscomb and gladiolus plants because they are linked to the rooster.
4. Make important decisions only on certain dates
This year, make important decisions and changes only on the 5th, 7th and 8th, as these are the lucky numbers for the year. Try to have any important event on the 5th, 7th or 8th of the month.
