The symbol of 2025 according to the eastern calendar will be the Wooden Green Snake.
The energy of this creature is associated with strength, wisdom, nature and powerful inner harmony.
Astrologers claim that welcoming the Year of the Snake requires a special approach, and the choice of dishes on the festive table plays an important role here.
Why? Because New Year is not just a change of date, but an important energetic moment.
Traditionally, treats on the holiday table are considered not only a gastronomic pleasure, but also symbols of future well-being.
Astrologers advise avoiding certain foods so as not to anger the master of the year and not to attract negative energy. What should not be cooked?
Dishes from reptiles and snakes
Dishes made from snakes or crocodiles (and they are found in exotic cuisine) can be perceived as an insult to the symbol of the year.
Even if such dishes were not planned, avoid hints of them in the form of decorations or figurines.
Fried meat in abundance
The snake symbolizes the power of nature and respect for its gifts, so excessive consumption of heavy meat dishes, especially fried ones, is considered inappropriate.
Astrologers advise giving preference to baked or stewed meat, which emphasizes respect for the natural taste of products.
A strong smell of garlic and onion
Spicy and strong foods can symbolically "scare away" luck.
Of course, you don’t need to give up these products completely, but you shouldn’t make them the main focus of your holiday table.
Food from packets and convenience foods
The symbol of the year values sincerity and naturalness, so dishes prepared from scratch are preferable.
Laziness in this matter can be perceived as disregard for the holiday.
Dishes without greens
The Wooden Snake is associated with natural energy, so astrologers strongly recommend using greenery.
Its complete absence on the table can be regarded as disrespect for the hostess of the year.
What to replace and how to please the symbol of the year
Instead of fatty and fried foods, eat light vegetable salads, green snacks and steamed dishes.
Lots of green on the table: spinach, parsley, dill and basil will not only please the symbol of the year, but also make the dishes healthier.
Include fish and seafood in your menu. They are associated with the water element, which is also close to the Snake.
Drinks and desserts
The snake does not tolerate falsehood, so it is better to avoid artificially sweet or overly alcoholic cocktails.
Instead, astrologers advise preparing natural drinks - compotes, fruit drinks or homemade mulled wine.
As for desserts, honey cakes, nut pies and fruit salads are welcome.
By following the recommendations, you show respect for the hostess of the year and create an atmosphere of harmony.
Even if you don't believe in superstitions, choosing the "right" foods can be an interesting topic of conversation at the table and a way to add extra depth to the holiday.
And may 2025 bring not only delicious treats, but also good luck in all your endeavors!
