Understanding the tradition of colors in the new year

The presence of colors in social celebrations runs through our culture with studies on the historical relevance, customs, and the energy they carry. Read the following information such as origin of the tradition, influence of colors, and more so you can understand a little more about the tradition of colors on New Year's Eve.

Origin of tradition

In the old days, people did not celebrate the beginning of the year on January 1st as they do today, but they did celebrate the end of the seasons, especially the farewell of winter and the arrival of spring, which represented a new cycle of planting and harvesting, ensuring survival and renewed hope.

One of the first historical records is from Mesopotamia that performed this ritual between the 22nd and 23rd of March. In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII determined the use of a new calendar, called Gregorian. Thus, we arrived at the date we know today, in which the year begins on the first day of January.

Over the centuries, some traditions have been adapted among peoples, bringing new meanings to the celebrations. Although the New Year celebration is no longer directly linked to planting, it has been preserved with the idea of bringing hope, abundance and prosperity, as well as other wishes and dreams of each person.

Thus, the colors began to compose this unique moment of renewal, determining what the person most wishes for the coming year.

In Brazil, white is the predominant color on Réveillon, besides being the color of Oxalá. This custom was disseminated around 1970 from Candomblé rituals. Members of the Afro-Brazilian religion used white clothes to make offerings on Copacabana beach.

Whether because of the beauty of the color or the knowledge of the meaning it conveys, other people began to wear white clothing and this tradition took hold across the country.

Nowadays, people have also adopted the custom of wearing other colors on this date, or at least one piece of clothing with the color that represents what you want in the new year.

How can colors influence?

Colors have the power of attraction and can influence our state of mind. This relationship goes far beyond our favorite color and the connection we create with it.

All colors have energies that can influence our attitudes and attract certain things to our lives, such as money, love, luck, tranquility, and emotional balance. For this reason, it is common to have discussions about the best colors to paint the house and which one is ideal for the bedroom, living room, or office.

They stimulate our concentration, focus and behavior in daily tasks, but it is also possible to concentrate the energy of colors in life plans on significant dates, such as the New Year.

In the case of clothes, there is the superstition that choosing the right color for you will ensure that your plans come true. Therefore, it is important to reflect on what you really want for the new year and, from there, know a little more about each color and its power of attraction.

Relationship between colors and personal year

Numerology studies how numbers will act in our lives and it can specifically predict the intentions and energies of other elements throughout a year. To do this, you need to find your personal year, a calculation made from your date of birth and the year in question.

In this way, it is possible to understand the vibrations that surround us and how we can deal with the resources offered by the Numerology forecasts. Using the energetic resources offered by the colors and knowing how your personal year will be is to build a path of internal and external growth and follow it during the year.

When we combine the knowledge of Numerology with the influence of colors we find a relationship that glimpses our personal trends facing a new cycle.

Red is the color that attracts love, sensuality and leadership, orange transmits joy and blue is the color of serenity and understanding, while pink explores the emotions and yellow is the color of expressiveness, money and prosperity. So, you can think beyond the color of clothing, to make use of colors in accessories, decoration, makeup and wherever else you want.

This field of study looks at the vibration of colors and directs your energies so that you can deal with life's mishaps or achieve your goals in the personal, spiritual and professional spheres.

How to calculate the personal year?

To make the calculation it is necessary to consider DD/MM/YYYY, being the day (DD) and month (MM) of your birth date and the year in question (YYYY). Attention! Do not calculate your birth year.

Therefore, the personal year sets the predictions for a particular year. It considers the period from January to December and will always arrive at a number from 1 to 9. Then, the personal year number will be reduced until it reaches a number from 1 to 9.

Some people believe that this period is from January 1 to December 31, while others say that it should be analyzed from the birthday until the next birthday. In the latter case, the calculation is performed with the last year in which the person had a birthday, eventhat she's already gone through the turn of the year.

For this article, we will use the calculation that considers the period from January 1 to December 31, thus determining what your personal year is and the best colors to wear at the time of the turn of the year, which can also be used in subsequent months. 2022 will have the Universal Year 6, as the calculation is 2 + 0 + 2 + 2 = 6.

In order for you to understand the calculation, we will use the example below:

Mara has a birthday on August 13 and wants predictions for the year 2022.

August is 08

In this case, the calculation would be 1 + 3 + 0 + 8 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 2 = 18

1 + 8 = 9

Mara's personal year is 9.

Another way to perform the calculation is to first find the result of the sum of the day and month of your birthday that you will always use. In Mara's case, it would be 3:

13 + 08

1 + 3 + 0 + 8 = 12

1 + 2 = 3

Then also calculate the year which is 2 + 0 + 2 + 2 always equals 6

3 (day and month) + 6 (year) = 9

Now, calculate your personal year and check which predictions and colors will have a more intense vibration in the coming year.
