Things to note when visiting someone's house on New Year's Day 2025
Besides finding a suitable person to be the first visitor to your house in the year of the Dragon, you should also keep the following things in mind when visiting someone's house at the beginning of the year:
When visiting someone's home during the Lunar New Year, avoid wearing white or black clothing as these colors symbolize sadness and mourning.
Furthermore, people whose age is incompatible with the homeowner, who have a criminal history, unsuccessful careers, or poor moral character should not be the first visitor to enter a house on New Year's Day, as it is believed to bring bad luck to the family.
Generally, men are considered more suitable for the first visitor of the year because they possess more positive energy (yang). This positive energy brings vitality and good fortune to the home. Women, on the other hand, tend to have more negative energy (yin), which can make the home gloomy and unfavorable.
