White Metal Rat – the symbol of 2020
We are waiting for a bright and eventful year under the sign of the White Metal Rat. White color – personifies purity, a certain solemnity, justice, kindness. What else is important to know about the main character?

כאַראַקטעריסטיש צייכן

In 2020, we will all have the opportunity to start life from a blank slate. Well, maybe not all my life, but some of its chapters – for sure. This is an ideal time to take care of the family, have children, resolve conflicts and take friendships and family traditions to a new, higher level. 

Particular attention should be paid to the offspring. The rat is a noble family man. Remember that this is a smart animal, and acting according to a standard scheme is not at all in her character. Do you want to achieve more? Then come up with original approaches, be creative! And remember: any task can be mastered together. 

Metal is a special compound. When we want to emphasize the strength of character, special qualities, we say: “as if made of metal.” So in the coming year, it is important to be true to your principles, to keep your word. The Rat will not tolerate anything else and will immediately begin to “bite” for deviating from the rules.

Astrologers advise to get this year a talisman in the form of a mouse or a rat. Of course, it is best that it be made of metal. He must stand in a conspicuous place. Every time you look at it, you will begin to remember your goals and think about how to achieve them. 

Be sure to carry out a general cleaning in the apartment before the new year and get rid of much of what has been on the shelves for years. Old things collect not only dust, but also negative energy. Thorough cleaning and dismantling of “warehouses” will let new energy into the house and open the way for further development. And try to attach unnecessary things, the Rat will “say” thanks for this.

This is not the case when you should go to a new, albeit very chic place. The rat votes with all its paws for the home and for the clan system! Therefore, you should spend a holiday in your own home. At the same time, if possible, it is worth inviting as many relatives as possible. The more people, the happier the Rat.

We celebrate the Year of the Rat in her favorite colors. Our heroine prefers all shades of gray: from rich graphite, wet asphalt, steel, anthracite and marengo to smoky and mother-of-pearl. 

She also likes variations on the theme of white and colors close to it – the color of baked milk, ivory, cream, beige, opal. 

With such a variety, everyone can choose something suitable in style and mood. 

The outfit is well complemented with accessories. Here, brooches in the form of a piece of cheese or a watermelon slice, or a small bouquet will be very useful – our Rat is no stranger to beauty! 

You can go the other way and choose white metal jewelry. In this way, we will especially respect the heroine of next year.

Only natural and natural! The house should be decorated in an eco-style. Walk through the interior departments in stores and find decorations and decorative elements in the form of corn cobs, sunflowers, pumpkins. 

If you love country style, great! Don’t limit your imagination. Now flower shops sell a lot of related products – sheaves of hay, small bouquets of lavender and dried flowers will be very useful! 

Do not forget about the Rat’s love for comfort – we buy more pillows in natural colors for sofas. 

In the living room, you can build an ikebana from branches, cones and cotton wool. Even the Christmas tree and the fireplace need more homemade toys and decorations this year. 

Here again, let us recall the strengthening of family and friendly ties – well, what brings together better than joint creativity?

On the table, too, there must be field, rustic motifs. Choose a tablecloth made of rough material. For example, linen or cotton. Preferred colors are white, cream, green. Actually, green and gold colors should be the brightest on the table this year. Leave the red for later. 

Arrange on the table vases with flowers / sprouted oats (they are sold at any pet store), twigs or small sheaves of spikelets. 

If this seems not enough, you can make a multi-layer installation in a beautiful glass or glass: pour beans, peas, lentils, buckwheat in contrasting layers – everything that the Rat loves. To make the cereal look more spectacular, first touch it with your hands dipped in oil. 

The menu must also include cereals. Duck baked with buckwheat porridge – everyone will surely like it. Or risotto with various additives – from mushrooms to seafood. 

What to give in the year of the White Metal Rat

Since the Rat is a practical animal, we should also adopt this feature. Therefore, we try to choose gifts for loved ones that will be useful every day and create comfort in the house. 

These can be blankets, pillows, bed linen, table textiles, pajamas, mugs and teapots, tea sets and beautiful containers for bulk products. 

Let’s continue the list: bathrobes and towels, porcelain bathroom sets, slippers, scarves and hats, ugg boots. 

Let’s not forget about metal products: cutlery sets, jugs for water and wine, trays, watches. 

Try not to give things for the New Year with the image of those with whom the Rat is not friends – owls and other birds of prey, pigs, dogs and cats. 

What to expect from the Year of the White Metal Rat

The rat is cheerful, purposeful. In 2020, we, like this animal, must go towards our goal. But it’s important to stay true to yourself. The Rat will appreciate hardworking, active people who are hungry for activity. Now it will be possible to move mountains, to find original, not overwritten solutions to problems. 

Green light for new business. Do not be afraid to open a new business, make new acquaintances and explore new territories for yourself. There shouldn’t be any major setbacks. 

It is worth paying attention to health. Don’t start problems and don’t take unnecessary risks. It is especially worth being careful with temperature differences: do not allow hypothermia of the body. Also, watch your diet. The simpler your menu, the healthier your body. We do not abuse fatty and especially alcohol.

Do not carry debts with you into the new year. And it’s not just about finances. Take a piece of paper, remember and write down what promises you made and what remained unfulfilled. Try to finish everything and bring it to its logical end. 

The Rat will be especially supportive of those who think not only about themselves, but also about others. 

“In a quarrel – no luck to be seen.” Actual advice for all times: reconcile and forget the grievances.
