Goat
It is almost impossible to refuse a person born in the year of the Goat (according to other sources of the Sheep). He knows exactly which doors to knock on, what to do and what to say to get what he wants. And at the same time, the Goat does not make complex plans for the future and does not weave cunning intrigues, but simply knows how to please and evoke in others an unconscious desire to help her.
In society, the Goat usually looks charming: she is sweet, artistic, smart, has a keen sense of art and often shows all sorts of creative talents. In a conversation, she prefers not so much to talk as to listen: she does not pull the blanket over herself, but with genuine interest asks her interlocutor about his affairs and plans. She often asks for advice in a variety of areas, and she actually puts this advice into practice and knows how to show her sincere gratitude to the adviser. All this is so different from ordinary social behavior, when everyone talks about themselves, that by voluntarily giving the palm to others, the Goat receives a great advantage.
However, all this does not mean that the Goat has an easy-going character. She is capable of being late, completely forgetting about time, and can be quite eccentric, capricious, and picky about little things. With her tossing and doubts, she is capable of driving people close to her crazy, but most of the time she still demonstrates optimism and a good mood, which she can lift up those around her. And most importantly, the Goat never pretends that she is on her own and doesn’t need anyone. On the contrary, she really needs people, their advice, attention, patronage, friendship, love. This makes those around her feel their strength and importance and are ready to help her.
Unlike many others, the Goat does not know how to hide its problems somewhere in the depths of its soul, much less solve them on its own. In difficult life situations, she simply needs to speak out and cry - for her this is the first step towards solving the problem. And indeed, by sharing their troubles (real or imaginary), doubts and worries, the Goat almost always finds consolation, practical advice, and real help as a result. However, she herself has a kind, sympathetic heart, and in such situations she will willingly help others.
The Goat is quite impractical and is sometimes capable of spending more than it earns. It may be difficult for her to make commercial profit from her talents, she may live in debt or spend money on meaningless trinkets. Understanding this perfectly, she usually willingly accepts someone’s leadership, be it her parents, a loved one or her boss at work. Only when she is freed from the need to make decisions herself and bear responsibility for them, is the Goat able to fully enjoy life and decorate the lives of others with her bright emotions.
Talented and elegant, with a rich imagination and a sympathetic heart, charmingly selfish, the Goat is like a big child. It may seem from the outside that she demands or expects a lot from others, but if you take a closer look, you will see that she still gives no less.
Every year people are worried about the question of what the next year will be like according to the Chinese zodiac calendar. Will he turn into a dragon, or will he plant a pig?
The zodiac cycle consists of 12 years and traditionally begins with the sign of the rat. Each of the signs belongs to one of the 5 elements, which also cyclically replace each other every two years.

One version has its origins in the Chinese legend of the Jade Emperor.
Command of the Jade Emperor
The Jade Emperor's servant was sent to find the 12 most beautiful animals and bring them to be rewarded; The audience was scheduled for 6 am. The servant came down and immediately found and invited rat and then called bull, tiger,rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster And dog; not finding cat, he asked the rat to convey the invitation. She fulfilled her promise, but the cat loved to sleep and asked to wake him up; The rat realized that the cat was more beautiful than her, and did not wake the cat.
Everyone came to the audience on time except the cat; The best prepared was the rat, which on the back of the bull began to play the pipe, which caused delight, and received first place. The bull was given second place for his kindness, the tiger - third, the rabbit for his beautiful fur - fourth, the dragon for his unusual appearance - fifth, the snake for wisdom - sixth, the horse - seventh, the sheep - eighth, the monkey for dexterity - ninth, the rooster - tenth and the dog is the eleventh. Then they noticed that one animal was missing; the servant had to urgently look for the twelfth animal, and he called pig, which was given twelfth place.
At this time the cat woke up and ran as fast as he could into the palace, but all the places had already been allocated. Since then, the cat has been very offended by the Rat and they have been irreconcilably at odds.

2018 - Year of the Dog
Eastern calendar
When is Chinese New Year 2018?
The dog is a symbol of the penultimate eleventh year of the 12-year earth cycle of the eastern calendar. In countries where the main religion is Buddhism, the symbolic perception of the Dog, in my opinion, is no different from the European one; in the east, the Dog is endowed primarily with such qualities as loyalty, honesty and nobility and aggressive uncompromisingness towards enemies...
"Ancient Eastern epic"
2018 is the year of the Golden Dog
February 16, 2018 of the year on the second new moon after the winter solstice according to the Eastern (Chinese) lunar cyclic calendar, the year of the celestial trunk of time “Earth” begins in the “Yang” stage of the earthly branch “Dog”, the 35th year of the 34th cycle of the new chronology.
What does this all mean?
Let's turn to ancient Chinese philosophy. According to her ideas, time flows differently in heaven and on earth. Therefore, earthly and heavenly signs were used to indicate time. According to ancient Chinese ideas, the main flow of time is carried out along the heavenly trunks, and time flows to earth from these trunks along the branches leading to it. There are five heavenly trunks, and 12 branches extend from them to the earth.
“Earth” - a symbol of the Celestial flow of time of the coming year, carries with it the properties of the primary element of the same name: the controlling direction is the Center; characterizing colors - yellow, brown and flesh; the presence of this element in a person means endurance, fertility, diligence and strategic thinking.
All signs of the earthly branch are the product of heavenly trunks, so the “Dog” branch 戌 inherits the signs of the generative trunk-element “Earth” in the “Yang” stage, it also has some qualities of the real earthly collective image of a dog, in the ancient Eastern view these are: honesty, mind, sense of justice, simplicity, loyalty, attractiveness, friendliness, sociability and openness; unpretentiousness, calmness and sensitivity, and on the other side of the coin is cynicism, laziness, indifference, pessimism, anxiety, stubbornness and absurdity.
In China and some neighboring countries, it is customary to celebrate the New Year wearing the colors of the celestial sign. The element “Earth” has several symbolic colors: yellow, brown (ocher) and flesh-colored (beige). To celebrate the New Year, all these colors and their combinations are acceptable, but yellow is considered the main one. For the New Year, it is advisable for men to have some element of clothing with yellow color (for example, a tie with a yellow stripe or a beige shirt, in extreme cases, yellow socks...). Women have more choice in terms of colors - they can afford beige and shades of yellow-brown, including gold.
The symbolic yellow color of this year of the Dog in the eastern calendar is somewhat different from the yellow we are used to - it is closer to yellow-brown, even, one might say, golden (approximately this color is used on the splash page with an outline image of a dog - more details about the symbolism and The structure of the eastern calendar can be found in the next section).
I would like to add one more remark about the “earthly essence” of the year: The Dog time branch is a product of the element “Earth” (Soil) and mainly inherits its qualities, therefore, despite the fact that the expressions “” or “” we have adopted already carry some semantic license in our perception of the designation of 2018 in the Chinese calendar 戊戌
, but the expression “Year of the Earth Dog”, in philosophical terms, has a deep meaning... Since the branch of the Dog connecting the heavenly flow of time with the Earthly one is the product of the “earthly” trunk that carries time, then this year we should expect a stable and stable flow of time. It is worth noting that in mnemonic terms, the expression “” has every right to life...
I would prefer to call the coming year the year Golden Dogs, since the one generating this branch carries the main flow of time. And, if we call 2018 completely according to our modern rules, then 2018 is.
So, in order to receive the patronage of the Dog in the new year 2018, when celebrating the New Year you need to wear something yellow, brown, golden or beige or add some touch of yellow or golden color to your clothes, and it is desirable to have dishes of meat, poultry or meat products on the table , but otherwise there are no restrictions - the “Dog” is an omnivore, with some predatory bias.
Using the table presented here, you can determine when to celebrate the New Year according to the eastern calendar, as well as determine your eastern patron signs by date of birth...
Table: 34 cycle. Chinese cyclical calendar from 1960 to 2019 New Year start dates

This table clearly shows a 12-year calendar cycle of the earthly branches, and not very clearly a 10-year one - each of the five primary elements “takes control of the development of world events” for 2 solar years. The main cycle lasts 60 years - the cycle begins with the celestial trunk "Tree", the earthly branch "Rat" - now the 34th cycle is underway from the beginning of the calculation of new time, it began on February 2, 1984. (To view dates in a wider time range (1924-2043), click on the table).
Eastern (Chinese) lunar cyclic calendar.
According to the worldview of ancient Chinese natural philosophy, as well as in later ancient philosophy, there are two passages of time - in heaven and on earth. In heaven, time continuously flows through five essential world-forming elements (elements, entities): “Wood”, “Fire”, “Earth” (“Soil”), “Metal”, “Water” - figuratively “along the heavenly trunks of these elemental entities " The main, most powerful flow of time flows from one entity to another. When the flow of time flows into the celestial trunk of the essence inherent in the year (the first year), it is in the YANG stage, when it begins to leave (the second year), it goes into the YIN stage (The properties of the element-entities are displayed in the table:).

The earthly world has its own stream of time, it flows along earthly branches that are generated by heavenly trunks. The fertile underlying “Earth” generates 4 branches on its trunk in a 12-year cycle: two in the YAN stage - Dragon, Dog; and two in the YIN stage - Ox, Sheep. The remaining trunks, respectively: “Metal” - the Monkey and Rooster branches; “Water” - Rat and Pig; "Tree" - Tiger and Rabbit; "Fire" - Horse and Snake. All this underlies the construction, so to speak, of the outer cover of the cyclic calendar.
The true basis of the cyclic calendar is the results of observations of the movements of the planets, the Moon and the Sun. The founders of the calendar knew that 29 and a half days pass from new moon to new moon; that for an terrestrial observer, Mars returns to the point in the starry sky fixed at the time of the beginning of observation after almost 2 years, Jupiter - after about 12 years, and Saturn after 30. For both Jupiter and Saturn to return to their original configuration at the same time, it takes 60 years - this period is also was adopted as the main longest cycle of the calendar. The next longest 12-year cycle corresponds to the orbital period of Jupiter. But the ten-year and two-year cycles are already a tribute to the metaphysical ideas of that time.
Despite this complex interweaving of the rational and the metaphysical, we can say that the Chinese cyclic lunisolar calendar is the first documented attempt by mankind to synchronize the time counting system with the movement of celestial bodies, which took place more than 4600 years ago!
Based on historical, philosophical and astronomical materials from the network: Sergey Ov(Seosnews9)
Let's try to imagine what the coming year has in store for us, using our tables of the properties of the primary elements.
So, 2018, (starting from February 16, 2018- New Year according to the eastern calendar), heavenly trunk “Earth”, earthly branch “Dog”:
Weather 2018
The weather control will be almost completely taken over by the celestial trunk - the Tree, and the “Dog” will make only small additional adjustments.
Let's look at the table.
"Earth": control direction - center; energy type - humidity.
“Dog” (branch of the Earth trunk): accordingly, the control direction is the center; energy type - humidity.
The corresponding time of year for the Dog sign is late autumn.
Based on this information, we find that in 2018 the weather will mostly follow the climate norm, but with some excess moisture.
The time of year corresponding to the “Dog” branch (late autumn) can cause a correction of air temperature towards lower values...
Spring and summer will arrive at traditional times.
Year of the Dog. Society 2018
The decisive factor in the development of public life will be the impact of internal events in the country. The influence of external factors will begin to intensify only at the end of the year.
Year of the Dog. People in 2018
Success, according to tradition, will be most conducive to those born in the Year of the Dog, as well as those born under the shadow of the heavenly branch “Earth” (in the years of the Ox, Dragon and Sheep). In general, under the auspices of the “dog” this year you can solve many accumulated problems, and also, by showing patience and perseverance, improve life for yourself and your loved ones.
In the previous Year of the Dog (2006), a commemorative coin was issued in Russia with a rather successful image of a dog (photo) - that year, by the way, nothing bad happened in our country. So, keep in mind - this coin can bring good luck in 2018 too.
P.S.. Fashion in the Year of the Dog: Yellow, brown and golden colors and shades in clothing, with jewelry elements including metal, create an additional impetus for success.

Eastern (Chinese) calendar of zodiac signs
The Eastern calendar, which has been in effect for several thousand years in Vietnam, Kampuchea, China, Korea, Mongolia, Japan and some other Asian countries, was compiled during the time of the semi-legendary Emperor Huang Di in the middle of the third millennium BC. The Eastern calendar is a 60-year cyclical system. It is based on the astronomical cycles of the Sun, Earth, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. The 60-year cycle includes the 12-year Jupiter and 30-year Saturn cycles. The 12-year period of Jupiter was considered the most important for the life of nomads, and in those days the main peoples of the East were nomadic tribes. The ancient Chinese and Japanese believed that the normal motion of Jupiter brought benefits and virtues.
By dividing the path of Jupiter into twelve equal parts and giving each part the name of a specific animal, the peoples of Asia created a solar-Jupiter 12-year calendar cycle. Legend has it that all the animals were invited by Buddha to celebrate the first New Year. Buddha promised to give the animals a whole year, which would be named after them. Only 12 animals came to Buddha's invitation - a rat, a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster, and a dog. The last one to come to meet Buddha was the pig.
According to another legend, Buddha called animals before leaving the earth. A rat, a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster, a dog and a pig came to say goodbye to Buddha. The grateful Buddha gave these 12 animals one year of reign each.
The eastern calendar begins with the year of the rat and ends with the year of the pig. In the East, it is widely believed that these animals have the ability to impart certain traits to the one born in this year of the animal, both good and bad.
In sixty years, Jupiter makes five revolutions. This number corresponded to the worldview of Chinese natural philosophy. The number five was a symbol of the five elements of nature - wood, fire, metal (gold), water, earth, which correspond to color designations (blue, red, yellow, white, black).
The Chinese sexagenary was formed as a result of the combination of the duodecimal cycle (“earthly branches”), each year of which was assigned the name of an animal, and the decimal cycle of the “elements” (“heavenly branches”): five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) , each of which corresponded to two cyclic signs, personifying the masculine and feminine principles (therefore, in the Chinese calendar there are consecutive years corresponding to different animals, but one element).
12 animals, 5 elements - hence the cycle of the eastern calendar is 60 years. This cycle begins with the year of the Wood Rat and ends with the year of the Water Pig. The next 60-year cycle of the eastern calendar began on February 2, 1984. Animal years repeat once every 12 years, and elemental years repeat every 10 years.
The choice of these planets when creating the eastern calendar is explained by the fact that the Sun influences the development of the human spirit, the Moon influences the physical development of the body, Jupiter controls the behavior of people in public life, and the planet Saturn shapes the individual characteristics of a person.
Recently, the eastern calendar has become increasingly popular in Russia. The Eastern New Year does not have a fixed date. The New Year according to the eastern calendar begins on the first new moon, which occurs in the zodiac sign Aquarius. The Sun enters the sign of Aquarius on January 20 or 21 and ends on February 18. Therefore, the New Year according to the eastern calendar begins from January 20 to February 18, at which time one fabulous animal passes the reins to another.

Elements of the signs of the eastern calendar
The eastern calendar assumes the presence of certain colors corresponding to each element. The elements change in the following order: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Thus, the cycle repeats itself completely after 60 years.
You can determine your element by the last digit of your year of birth:
“4” or “5” - Wood (color green, blue)
“6” or “7” - Fire (color red, pink)
“8” or “9” - Earth (color yellow, lemon, ocher)
“0” or “1” - Metal (white)
“2” or “3” - Water (color black, blue)
Each of the elements slightly changes the animal representing the year, giving it a unique shade. For example, the Fire Goat - active, active, with creative abilities, differs from the Earth Goat - a reserved, dry realist, busy with earthly, practical matters.
You can use the eastern horoscope to improve mutual understanding with your family, loved ones and friends by identifying their signs and elements, and therefore understanding the deep essence and motives of actions. Animal signs will help determine the prospects of relationships between people (friendships, love or business).
It’s better to start with the general characteristics of the animal sign.
Even more accurate data can be obtained by determining the animal sign of the hour of birth. According to Chinese astrology, the day is divided into 12 periods, each of which corresponds to a specific animal sign. This means that a person born in the hour of any animal will have the traits of this sign. Here are the correspondences between birth times and animal signs:
23.00 - 01.00 - Rat time
01.00 - 03.00 - Ox time
03.00 - 05.00 - Tiger time
05.00 - 07.00 - Rabbit time
07.00 - 09.00 - Dragon time
09.00 - 11.00 - Snake time
11.00 - 13.00 - Horse time
13.00 - 15.00 - Sheep time
15.00 - 17.00 - Monkey time
17.00 - 19.00 - Rooster time
19.00 - 21.00 - Dog time
21.00 - 23.00 - Boar time
Eastern calendar signs
Chinese astrologers divide all animal signs into four groups (three in each). It is generally accepted that people born under the same group of signs have similar characteristics that determine the way they think, which ultimately allows them to get along well with each other, support each other and get along together. This does not mean at all that they have the same character or actions, it’s just that the innate characteristics of their personalities successfully complement each other and contribute to revealing the best sides of other people from the same group. It has been noticed that partnerships, friendships and especially marriages between those born under the signs of the same group are the most successful.
Competitors- , And . All these signs are very keen on competition and decisive action. Rats need the Dragon's self-confidence and courage, because... extremely unsure of themselves. In turn, the Dragon can be too direct and sometimes simply needs the ingenuity of the Rat or even the cunning of the Monkey. The latter highly value the intelligence of the Rat and the enthusiasm of the Dragon.
Intellectuals- , And . People belonging to these signs are great pragmatists, strong personalities, often endowed with great abilities, self-confident, purposeful and decisive. Among them are thinkers and seers. The Ox is constant and firm, but he is favorably influenced by the brightness of the Rooster and the charm and dexterity of the Snake. The directness of the Rooster is balanced by the diplomatic Snake or the self-confident Bull, and the Snake, with all its ambition, can reach great heights if it is assisted by the Bull or the Rooster.
Independent- , And . These people are emotional, impulsive, restless and extremely principled - a kind of "free spirits" of the Chinese zodiac. The Horse is a born strategist, but to make anything a reality it needs a decisive Dog or an impulsive Tiger. He can also give vent to the Horse’s restlessness, while only the Dog can calm it down. The Tiger will also benefit from communicating with the Dog - her constant good nature will keep him from being excessively cruel.
Diplomats- (Cat), and . People of these signs are reserved, simple-minded, not great intellectuals, and are not attracted to risk. But they are modest and responsive, sociable and sensitive, tenderly care for each other and are always happy to do something nice. The Rabbit's insight balances the Sheep's generosity, and the latter needs the sense of priorities that the Rabbit gives her. The power of the Pig complements the forgiving nature of the Sheep and the strategic thinking of the Rabbit.
The signs of the eastern calendar are often depicted in a circle in a certain order, sometimes compass directions are marked on it. Looking at such a circle, it is not difficult to notice that each sign is directly opposite the other sign. These are antagonistic signs, and they are considered completely incompatible! There are six such pairs, and within each pair an astrological conflict invariably develops. The causes of these conflicts lie deep in the nature of people born under opposite signs; they are involuntary and manifest themselves mainly in how they react to the surrounding reality and other people. These are the pairs:
The validity of these observations is also confirmed by the fact that in China, parents, as a rule, do not approve of children marrying people 6 years older or younger. They are well aware that in such a union conflicts and insoluble problems will certainly arise, and therefore in love it is very dangerous to ignore this incompatibility. Another thing is friendship, which in most cases is not harmed by astrological conflicts, because friends usually don't live together. In business, however, incompatibility can also be a hindrance, because in this case completely different people are forced to spend a large amount of time side by side every day.
Do not despair if the results of the analysis of relationships according to the eastern horoscope are disappointing; pay attention to the signs and elements corresponding to the month and hour of birth, because under their influence, the characteristic features of a person’s personality can both weaken and strengthen.
In China they say that if the fate destined for a person from above cannot be changed, then his lot can be improved. They believe in the unity of "tian", "ti" and "zhen" (heaven, earth and man), meaning that the two components of a happy fate - earthly luck and human (the third is heavenly luck) - are in the hands of the person himself.
