Chinese New Year tends to be a very manic time leading up to the celebrations and festivities which is why I have put together this comprehensive Chinese New Year Checklist for 2019, the year of the Yin Earth Pig (Ji Hai) to hopefully make things a bit more calm in the run-up to Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year brings so many jobs and tasks that need doing around the home and office that need doing and every year I go through the house and office that I tend to forget things that need doing which is why I created a checklist to tick off as I go through all of the tedious tasks and I decided to share it on the website for others to add or change how they like, and the feedback has been fantastic and I am so thankful for all of your kind words.

The list below is the same list that I go through every year during Chinese New Year and this year, I have tailored the checklist to be relevant to the year of the Pig and have included where to place the 2019 Annual Cures and Enhancers and colour suggestions for each different compass sector of your home or office for the year which will hopefully make it a bit easier when going through everything before the start of the year of the Pig. This also makes a great reference sheet to keep handy during 2019 when introducing new furniture or decorations.

Fun facts and advice for Chinese New Year

□   Ensure that the house, apartment, bungalow office or any other building is spotless from top to bottom, to encourage good luck in the coming year.

□   Open all the windows and doors in every single part of the home as this is said to bring in clean, new good luck for the year.

□   Switch on all of the lights in the house inside and out as this is supposed to attract good luck from outside, and if the windows and doors are wide open, it is easy for the luck to enter. The bright lights and open windows are also used to scare away evil spirits.

□   Buy a new pair of slippers at New Year. It is said to stop people gossiping about you, In China, face and reputation are significant.

□   Avoid arguments, using knives, driving too far, and they love to gamble on New Year’s day as they hope to create good luck and wealth. You can read more on this below.

□   Do not punish or discipline the children. Otherwise, they will have more arguments in the New Year.

Recommendations for 2019

Northwest

  • Healthy green leafy plants or blue flowering plants such as violets are good for this area.
  • Place a Three Immortals statue in the northwest of your home and office
  • Fresh flowers displayed here will bring positive qi too.
  • Place a Xie Tai Tai Sui plaque in the northwest of your home or office for 2019 to appease Tai Sui
  • Symbolic objects such as a wu lou or eight Chinese coins can be placed here all year round to enhance benevolent influence and at the same time dissipate the malevolent influence by the visiting monthly #2 and #5.
North

  • Use blue in your décor if this is your office or bedroom.
  • Place an Shixian Wish and romance enhancer in the north of your home or office
  • For office and studies, place a task light and a crystal globe on the work desks. Blue items can be added on the desk, e.g. blue paper, blue books etc
  • Avoid displaying too many metal objects in the north; especially large heavy ornaments such as dumbbells
  • Fresh flowers or small pots of green leafy or flowering plants can be displayed in this spot of the house to lift the qi. Blue or green flowers are a good choice.
  • If you have the Taohua mandarin Ducks, this is a good area to have them and any other symbols of romance like hugging couples etc.
  • Place a Kwan Yin statue in the north
  • Place photos of loved ones or images of love to enhance relationships or attract new love. This can do with photos, paintings or statues, make sure there is always a pair in the image.

Northeast

  • Hang a Kwan Yin Pu Sa bell in the northeast of your home or office in 2019
  • Place a salt water cure in the northeast for 2019
  • You don’t need to place a load of Dragons and bells; you can use any metal ornament as long as it is not sharp or aggressive looking. Believe it or not, a good cure is a round metal dog bowl or weightlifters weights.
  • Hang six Chinese coins tied in red ribbon.
  • A brass wealth ingot is good for protecting wealth in the northeast this year.
  • A metal singing bowl is very good as is a stainless-steel Dog bowl.

  • Avoid using red colour in this room and refrain from displaying triangle shape or fiery pictures.
  • Avoid candles or bright lights at all costs. Check or upgrade smoke alarms and other fire prevention methods.
West

  • A brass Wu-Lou would be good for a bedroom that falls into the west along with blue, black, grey or charcoal colours.

  • This is also a good study area for children provided they are quiet. Place a task light and a crystal globe on the desk to enhance concentration.
  • A romance enhancer is a pair of rose quartz Mandarin Ducks in the centre this year.
East

  • If this is your bedroom, a shade of blue or black in your furnishing or décor may help with health. A blue painting (not water scene) may also do.

  • If you have a main door in the southwest, make sure you oil the hinges and try not to let it bang shut and oil squeaky hinges.
  • If you use a fan or other machines that create noise or vibration, try and avoid placing it in the southwest part of a room.
South

  • Place a light in the south If you have a choice, a lamp with a wooden stand and a peach/red shade is better. Try to leave it on whenever you are using the room.
  • You should avoid hanging wind chimes of any material in the south in 2019, especially metal wind chimes as it will worsen matters.
