Family psychologist-consultant, natal astrologer Olga Korepina has prepared a detailed plan especially for you - how to meaningfully spend the end of December and celebrate the New Year correctly. You need to start from December 20th.
It’s not for nothing that they say that how you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it. The New Year is a new birth, a transition from one state to another, a renewal of everything that surrounds us. With the birth of a new year, there is a change in energies that greatly influence our lives. Therefore, you need to prepare and try to adjust these energies so that the year will be successful in everything.
12 days before the New Year...
Start consciously spending the year on December 20th. During this time, try to free yourself from everything superfluous and unnecessary in your life - literally and figuratively. If you have any unnecessary or unfinished connections, situations, relationships, debts and affairs that have arisen this year, they need to be completed as much as possible, putting an end to the energies of the outgoing year.
A week before the New Year...
During the seven days before New Year's, we have the opportunity to work out karma for the past year and enter the new one with fresh energy. By clearing the past, we solve many problems in the family, in relationships, and at work. We pay off debts on a subtle level and prepare to set new, desired goals.
DECEMBER 25. Time to be alone with yourself. In a calm atmosphere, remember the past year, analyze what was done correctly and what was not done well. Realize your dreams and true desires and start planning for next year.
DECEMBER 26. Day of health and active lifestyle. Hurry up, give up bad habits - even if only one - but right today and rush into the fresh air - to strengthen your body. Clean up, get rid of old and unnecessary things.
27TH OF DECEMBER. If your soul asks for a holiday, today is just the right moment. Go on dates, play with your children and declare your love to your loved ones and friends.
DECEMBER 28TH. Make time for your parents. You can also do household chores - but always with pleasure. If necessary, ask for forgiveness from your family and friends.
DECEMBER 29TH. This day is suitable for harmonizing relationships with men. Ask for their forgiveness and forgive them.
DECEMBER 30TH. A good time to make long-awaited purchases. Time to figure out whether you are doing what you love, or should you find yourself in another profession?
31TH OF DECEMBER. A day of change and bright, joyful plans. Time to communicate with your closest and dearest people.
On New Year's Eve...
With each chime, mentally repeat your deepest desire. After you have repeated it 12 times, and the sound of the last blow is still hanging in the air, spin the energy funnel, imagining how the energy of expectation, anticipation and joy gathers in your glass. After taking a sip, mentally redirect this energy to the heart chakra, holding the piece of paper with the desire in your left hand. Carry it with you for the first 12 days of the year, and on the morning of January 13, put the leaf in a container of water, add a drop of your favorite perfume and put it in the freezer for 12 hours. Before going to bed, light the candles and set the container to thaw. This will become a symbol that the ice has broken.
In the first 12 days of the year...
The first 12 days of the year influence how you will spend the coming 12 months. It is important to maintain the right attitude and work through one of the most important aspects of life every day.
1ST OF JANUARY. Dedicate the first day to communication with your family and re-define your goals for the coming year. Do not skimp on giving warmth to those you love - this is the most powerful energy in the universe.
JANUARY 2. Call those you haven't had time to wish Happy New Year yet. Or maybe there is a person with whom you communicated as a child, but have not seen each other for several years? Believe me, he will be very happy to hear from you again!

On the night of January 13-14, Russians celebrate the New Year according to the old style, or as people say, the Old New Year. This amazing holiday has a lot of traditions and signs. Let's understand the history of the Old New Year, how it was celebrated at different times in Russia, and also find out what to cook for the Old New Year, what traditions should be observed, what signs to believe in.
Old New Year - the history of the holiday
New Year in Russia, by decree of Peter I, began to be celebrated on January 1 in 1700, and they began to celebrate the Old New Year in 1918, when Soviet Russia switched from the former Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar adopted in Europe. The tradition of celebrating the Old New Year appeared thanks to believers. Due to the difference between the calendars in Russia, until 1919, Christmas and New Year were celebrated 13 days later than in Europe. But the Russian Orthodox Church did not obey the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR of 1918 and did not accept the Gregorian calendar. With the official introduction of the new calendar, Christmas, as before celebrated on December 25 according to the old style, “moved” to January 7. And the Orthodox continued to celebrate the New Year as before - six days after Christmas, that is, on the night of January 13-14.Interesting:
in 1918, when, during the transition to a new chronology, an amendment of 13 days was introduced, immediately after January 31, 1918, February 14 came in Russia.
The discrepancy between the dates of the Julian and Gregorian calendars increases every century. In the 20th-21st centuries this difference is 13, and from March 2100 it will be 14 days.
January 13 - Vasiliev evening
On the night of January 13-14, the Old New Year is celebrated(among Belarusians and Ukrainians it is known as a generous evening, in the central and some southern regions of Russia as autumn). This tradition arose after 1918, when a new chronology was introduced in Russia. Once upon a time this day fell on January 1 and was called Vasily's day(memory day of St. Basil the Great, and its eve is December 31 (which became January 13) - Vasilyev’s evening.
The evening on the eve of the Old New Year was popularly called generous. On the morning of January 13 (the day of Melania (Melanka)) it was necessary prepare porridge made from whole wheat grains. It could be seasoned with meat or lard, or topped with honey, sugar or jam. In addition, the hostesses baked pancakes, prepared pies and dumplings with cottage cheese to thank the guests. The most important dish for the Old New Year was considered pork dishes, by the way, a saint Basil the Great was considered the patron saint of pig farmers. “A pig and a boletus for Vasily’s evening”, “a pig is not a clean animal, but God has nothing unclean - Vasily will sanctify winter!”, say the proverbs about this day. This animal symbolized fertility and well-being. On this day, it was customary to generously set the table: a generous table on this day means prosperity throughout the year.
In the evening, people visited their neighbors to celebrate the New Year in peace and harmony.. According to popular beliefs, it was considered important who will be the first guest in the house in the New Year. It was a good sign if the first was a young man from a respected large family with a good household. And on the morning of December 14, young people walked to the crossroads burn “Grandfather” or “Didukha” - sheaves of straw. Young people jumped over the fire, which symbolized cleansing from wickedness.
Signs and traditions for the Old New Year on January 14
We prepared for Vasilyev's evening in advance. They sewed or bought beautiful clothes for him. The housewives put all the best things in the house on the table: pies, kutya, meat, wine, beer, vodka. Traditionally, a pig was prepared for this evening. It was a symbol of the fertility of the earth and the fertility of livestock in the coming year. Our ancestors, just like modern Russians, believed “how you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it”: it was believed that an abundance of food on the first day of the year would bring prosperity for the whole year.Another custom associated with cooking is cooking porridge. The ceremony was performed before dawn; When the porridge was ripe, the housewife took the pot out of the oven, and the whole family began to look at it. If the pot was cracked or the porridge turned out unsuccessful, this foreshadowed bad things. If the porridge turned out fluffy and tasty, happiness was expected for the whole house.
In some parts of Russia they caroled on this day. For example, in the Tver, Yaroslavl, Moscow, Tula, Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and Orenburg regions, the roundabout ritual of bunting was popular. The tradition got its name from the song that was sung while going home - “Osen”. People walked from house to house and sang songs. Participants in the walk-through approached from house to house and asked the owners for permission: “Can I call the oats?”, and they answered: “Click!” Then the ritual participants sang autumn songs to each family member individually. The most important “ovsen”, designed to ensure the well-being of the home and family, were addressed to the owner and his eldest sons. At the end, the generous owners of the house presented gifts to the performers.
- Gardeners shake snow off apple trees at midnight for harvest.
- If at night the wind blows from the south, the year will be hot and prosperous, from the west - to an abundance of milk and fish, from the east - expect a fruit harvest.
- Vasily's night is starry - for the harvest of berries.
- A lot of fluffy frost on the trees foreshadowed a good honey harvest.

Fortune telling for the Old New Year
Vasilyev's evening was recognized as the most successful time for predicting the future. They said that everything predicted at this time would certainly come true. However, the Orthodox Church does not approve of fortune telling.Fortune telling for the Old New Year on a ring, bread and hook: the listed three things are placed in a vessel along with pieces of bread, coals, pebbles and other small objects. The vessel is covered with a towel, after which each young lady, without looking, drags the first thing she comes across (the pulled out item is then returned to the vessel). If he pulls out bread, the husband will be rich, if the ring is handsome, if the hook is disabled or poor.
Fortune telling for the Old New Year using bulbs It is carried out like this: all the girls take an onion and place them with their roots in the water, after which they observe - whose onion will give green sprouts first, which girl will be married sooner.
Fortune telling for the Old New Year by dogs. The girl is left alone in the room, after which the dog is allowed in. If a dog immediately runs up to a girl, then family life will be happy; if it starts sniffing the floor first, then the husband will be angry, and family life will be unhappy; if the dog begins to caress, then the husband will be affectionate.
Fortune telling for the Old New Year using the names of passersby. You need to leave the house and call out to the first male person you meet, asking what his name is. Whatever name he gives, that’s what his future husband will be called.
Fortune telling for the Old New Year using a comb. Before going to bed, the girl puts a comb under her pillow with the words “Betrothed, mummer, come and comb my hair.” If in a dream she sees a man combing her hair, then this year she will be married to the person in the dream.
Fortune telling for the Old New Year using conversations. They went to eavesdrop under the windows of their neighbors and, based on what they heard, judged their future marriage. If they scolded in the hut, then the husband will be angry, if they laughed, he will be a merry fellow, if they drank, he will be a drunkard, etc.
Fortune telling for the Old New Year from a book. To do this, take a book and each girl in turn asks a question, and then names the page number and line (bottom or top) where the answer is contained. The answer is read in the book. The works of classics of Russian literature are great for fortune telling (just be careful with Dostoevsky! But Tolstoy or Pushkin are simply ideal). It is better to formulate the question so that it requires a detailed answer, rather than “yes-no”.
On the eve of the most beloved holiday for many and the end of another year, many are trying to finish things off, pay off debts, put the house in perfect order in order to enter the New Year without carrying with them unnecessary burdens from the past.
In this article we will talk about how to properly see off the outgoing year so that the coming one will be favorable and successful.
In Rus', in the old days, our ancestors treated the farewell to the passing year just as responsibly as they did to the meeting of the New Year: they prepared kutya, baked pies, set rich tables - but all this only after all affairs were put in order. Let's look at what you need to focus on as the year ends.
Health. If something has been bothering you for a long time, pay a visit to the doctor, get a consultation, get treatment - 2 weeks before the end of the year you can do a lot more. If there are no serious problems, go for a couple of wellness treatments at a beauty salon: sauna, massage, cedar barrel - all this will give you a fabulous feeling before the New Year, and your mood will rise to a festive and elated one!
House. Try to do a thorough cleaning of your apartment a few days before the holiday.
Things you haven't used in the last few years can be put up for sale online or given away - don't let unnecessary things linger in your home, from a feng shui point of view this is very bad, and generally not convenient - why give space to unnecessary things?
Put cleanliness and order in all the corners and bins, and if the year has not been very successful, the science of Feng Shui advises after cleaning to also rearrange it - moving the furniture is very useful in such situations. After such a thorough cleaning, you can start decorating your home for the holiday: decorate the Christmas tree, hang garlands, tinsel, rain - make your updated home festive!
Job. Try to finish all the things, pull up all the “tails,” as they say. This way you yourself will be calmer and more useful for a successful career.
Relationships with people. Think, remember what the past year was like in terms of relationships with people, thank it for the good moments, and forgive those who offended you for the bad ones, let go of this unnecessary burden.
And they also say that at the end of the year it is very good to admit feelings that you were afraid to express - if they answer you with a refusal, then you should not despair too much, because this failure will remain in the outgoing year, and the new one is preparing a lot of new meetings and surprises for you. If it’s really boiling, you can just turn on the music and cry all your tears - give them free rein so that they, too, remain in the past year.
In addition, this is a great way to relieve stress - stop holding everything in and cry to your heart's content (only without nervous breakdowns, of course!), and then make yourself a soothing herbal tea, get some sleep, and the next day you will feel like a new person!
Financial questions. It is believed that debts must be repaid, but under no circumstances do this on December 31 - all the money that you owe to someone must be repaid before the last day of the year.
New Year. The time to make plans for the holiday itself is 2-3 weeks before it, if you don’t want to do everything at the last moment and feel like not one of the heroes of a funny fairy tale about the New Year, but a hunted animal. Decide on the place of celebration, if it will be at your home - make a list of guests, a menu, agree with the guests on how the New Year's table will be assembled (for example, different dishes can be distributed among the guests, then you will not have to stand at the stove for 2 days), choose the outfit in which you will celebrate the New Year - it is better, of course, if it is new.
Many people know that new things will not come into their lives until everything old is released. In order to let go of the heavy load and everything old, you need to celebrate the Old New Year. In this article we will talk about how to spend the Old Year and welcome the new one.
Why is it necessary to see off the Old Year?
Be sure to celebrate the Old Year and all the events associated with it. This must be done primarily for psychological reasons. Accepting something new is considered stressful for every person. But if a person spends the Old Year surrounded by his family, then this transition will occur more smoothly. Moreover, it will not become exciting.
In other words, seeing off the Old Year for a person is considered not a simple procedure for him due to the fact that his mental state is in a kind of stress. Indeed, due to the upcoming changes in life, many people can be seriously worried. But a feast in the family circle will allow everyone to calm down. As a rule, farewell to the Old Year takes place on New Year's Eve, December 31st. People should not only celebrate the Old Year, but also thank it for what it brought to them. Of course, after this, many of these people look forward to the New Year in order to greet it.
In order to prepare for a new life next year, it is worth leaving everything past and unpleasant in the outgoing year. But if you fail to do this, then be prepared for the fact that the Old Year will remain with you, and therefore, along with it, all the problems that will haunt you again in the New Year will remain.
How to spend the Old Year
Of course, the country always celebrates the New Year correctly. However, this article focuses most on the psychological aspects. On New Year's Eve, the most important thing is gratitude. Think about what this year has brought, of course, a lot of good things for you. Therefore, you should definitely thank the past year for what it was able to bring to you.
On New Year's Eve, it is imperative to get rid of those things that have long been worn out. Don't keep junk in your home or in your heart. Of course, with used items everything is simple. But you don’t need to give your things to your loved ones. They definitely need to be thrown away. Acceptance of the new will not happen until everything old is removed from your home. It's not just material things that you should get rid of. It turns out that you should throw out those people from your life who do not value you. Stop your communication with them, and also delete all their contacts.
If you are in a marriage that is considered unhappy or your friends are mean people, then you should consider removing these people from your life. At first glance, this matter will seem difficult to you, but these feelings are temporary. Console yourself with the fact that soon you will have not only new friends, but also a good spouse.
On a note! Welcome the New Year in psychological freedom and in anticipation of wonderful changes.
