All years according to the horoscope of animals. Eastern horoscope of animals by years
Confucius said: "In order to predict the future, you need to carefully study the past." The opportunity to follow the eastern calendar gives us such a chance - to be prepared in advance for what the coming year has in store for us. Knowing which animal year 2018 will be, we will be able to meet it correctly, put on the table those treats that the totem of the year will like, decorate the house so that it will give us access to achieve new heights in career, love and health.
What the Year of the Dog has in store for us...
If you believe the Chinese (Eastern) calendar, then 2018 (Earth Dog) year will be more than favorable for a person, because the Dog will become his totem. What other animal year could be friendlier for us? It was the dog that became our best assistant many centuries ago in hunting, in protecting our home and in many other aspects of life. This is also confirmed by the previous milestones of the "rule" of the dog. Here are just a few examples that have affected the development of the world as a whole:
The symbol of 2018 is an attentive, compliant and obedient animal, but not without cunning, enterprise and the ability to create an impressive supply.
Yellow Earth Dog Personality
2018 according to the Eastern calendar belongs to the Yellow Earth Dog. The color and belonging to the most unshakable element indicate to us that the year will be simple, understandable for everyone, without surprises and cardinal changes. But such peace is not prepared for everyone, but only for those who have certain qualities of character. In order for the Dog to be happy, you need to show her that you are a person:
- patient,
- reliable,
- conservative,
- able to keep one's word
- careful,
- secretive,
- not greedy,
- not aggressive.
Opposite qualities will only anger the totem of the year, direct its aggression against you. Neither word nor deed should diverge from the promises made on the eve of the New Year, even if they were given to oneself (to give up bad habits, try on relatives, repay a debt, etc.). Ignorance of which year of which animal is coming does not justify bad deeds, because the Dog is very attentive and unusually pedantic.
The other side of the character of the symbol of 2018 is extraordinary loyalty and kindness to everyone around. She cannot and does not know how to judge strictly and remember evil for a long time. Justifying your bad thoughts, deeds and actions will not be easy, but possible. One mistake will need to be "justified" by a dozen good deeds, then the punishment will not be terrible and harsh.
Work, love, health - what to expect from a Dog
Next year's totem is not just this or that animal. It is important to understand that the eastern horoscope endows them with belonging to one of the elements and a color symbolizing their character.
- The Earth Dog of 2018 belongs to the elements of the earth, which indicates the stability and stability of this period of time. In addition, it is called Metal - resistant to unexpected changes, recessions and distortions in any direction, whether it be family relationships, business or any other.
- Much depends on the color of the totem animal. Yellow, according to Eastern wisdom, indicates the attractiveness of the totem of the year for success in any direction. The Yellow Dog is integral, goes in the intended direction, does not turn off the path, does not deviate from the already drawn up, planned scheme of actions.
- In 2018, everyone will have a chance to achieve high performance in everything. But the apparent stability will have to be supported by one's own willpower and purposefulness. Do not wait for the totem of the year to do something and decide for you.
- If it is necessary to make a decision, then the leadership should not be momentary impulses and impulses, but endurance and tact. The habit of stepping over something, not taking into account one’s desires, the opinion of relatives and friends, the habit of going against the grain, trampling on someone’s or one’s own honor, will lead to collapse and failure even in small things.
- Another “no” from the Yellow Earth Dog is that you should not let unfamiliar, insincere people into your life and, moreover, establish close contacts and relationships with them. This year, couples are advised to carefully choose those who will enter their home. It is possible that new people will cause the collapse of the family hearth. Well, those who are in search of a loved one should be doubly careful - casual relationships will be very dangerous.
- The Yellow Earth Dog is not as simple as it seems - it will repeatedly test strength and endurance, confront unusual characters whose task in our life is to teach us to recognize good and evil even under a mask. You need to carefully study new acquaintances and learn as much as possible about them before letting them into your world and your life, but you can’t immediately push them away.
- The dog will track the correct life positions in our life even in our gastronomic addictions - she does not like a plentiful intake of sweet, alcoholic, fatty and, surprisingly, meat.
You should not be afraid of the huge number of rules and requirements of the totem of 2018. The main character trait of the Earth Dog is patience with everything and everyone, but we will also have to learn how to show this trait.
In eastern countries, a horoscope is used to determine the characteristics of a person's character, which is 12 signs in the form of animals. Each of these animals is associated with a certain year and element. People born in the same year have similar temperaments and similar fates. Each sign corresponds to a certain element, which has its own characteristics. There are certain likes and dislikes between the elements and signs, based on which you can choose the right companion or life partner.
According to an ancient oriental legend, when the Buddha left this world, he called to say goodbye to all animals. 12 animals came, to which he gave rule on Earth. In order to determine to whom to open the list of animals, the emperor of heaven arranged a competition for them: the animals had to reach the opposite bank of the river as quickly as possible. The Rat, realizing that he could not equal the larger animals, asked the Bull to swim together, he agreed, and the Rat climbed on his head. The bull is a very good swimmer, so he swam first, just then the rat jumped to the opposite bank and was the first. Therefore, the Rat is considered smart and cunning.

The traditional oriental (Chinese) calendar is a complex structure that describes time cycles, based on astronomical observations, and also includes elements of Chinese culture such as Yin-Yang philosophy and the theory of five elements (Wu-xing).
When and how did the Eastern calendar appear?
The Eastern calendar is also called the "household" calendar, since it was originally used by peasants to determine the dates of holidays and dates for the start of various types of agricultural work.
An integral part of the Eastern calendar is the Chinese zodiac, on the basis of which one can draw a conclusion about the fate of a person, his character, and compatibility with other people. Therefore, the Chinese tried to correlate all life decisions with.
The system on which the Eastern calendar is based is common in many Asian countries such as Vietnam, Korea, Mongolia and Japan.
Despite the recent use of the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes in China, which is adopted almost all over the world, the Eastern calendar remains very popular and is one of the main tools for describing the structure of the world in Chinese society.
The exact date of the appearance of the Eastern calendar is unknown. There are several versions, one of which suggests that the eastern calendar was compiled during the reign of the Zhoui dynasty and became widespread during the Han dynasty (206 BC - 207 AD). According to another version, this happened much earlier, back in 2637 BC, when Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi created a sixty-year chronology cycle.
Since its inception, the Chinese calendar has been considered a sacred document, and the accuracy of its predictions confirmed the agreement between Heaven and the emperor. A whole staff of court astrologers and soothsayers worked on its creation. This was a rather dangerous occupation, since for the slightest mistake one could pay with one's head.
There are also legends associated with the advent of the calendar. One of the most popular tells that the Buddha decided to call all the animals to him on New Year's Eve. And the one who shows respect and is one of the first, he will allow him to become a symbol of the year.
A rat came running first, followed by a rooster, and then ten more animals: a bull, a tiger, a cat, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a goat, a monkey, a rooster, a dog, and a pig. As promised, each of them received a whole year, which became known in their honor. This is how the Great Circle of Time came into being.
What does he represent?
The calendar is a 60-year cyclic system that contains five periods of twelve years.
In addition, the system is divided into six periods of ten years. What is the basis for this division?
1. Heavenly stems (ten-year cycle).
According to Chinese philosophy, everything in this world consists of 5 basic elements (which are also called elements), each of which corresponds to a certain color:
- Tree(Green colour)
- Water(black color)
- Metal(White color)
- Earth(yellow color)
- Fire(color: red)
Every year it is under the influence of one of the elements, successively replacing each other. In this case, the elements manifest themselves in one of two aspects: Yin or Yang.
The emergence of the Yin-Yang theory is closely connected with the ancient Chinese teaching of Taoism.
This theory speaks of Yin and Yang as two opposite and complementary principles that create harmony in the universe, being in a continuous search for balance among themselves.
Yin Principle (passive)- this is feminine. It is characterized by acceptance, humility. This principle also includes even numbers, night and the moon.
Yang principle (active)- it's masculine. It is characterized by dynamics, creativity, affirmation. This principle also includes odd numbers, the day and the Sun.
Thus, we get a cycle of ten years, where the year corresponds to one of the five elements, in its active or passive aspect.
2. Earthly branches (twelve-year cycle or "Chinese zodiac").
The Chinese zodiac associates each year with one of the twelve animals (as promised by the Buddha):
- Rat– Yang (element water)
- The Dragon- Yang (earth element)
- Monkey- Yang (metal element)
- Bull- Yin (earth element)
- Snake- Yin (fire element)
- Rooster- Yin (metal element)
- Tiger- Yang (element tree)
- Horse- Yang (fire element)
- Dog- Yang (earth element)
- Rabbit- Yin (wood element)
- Goat- Yin (earth element)
- Pig- Yin (water element)
The word "year" in Chinese is written with two characters called bin. One of the hieroglyphs of the binomial is its number in the ten-year cycle, and the second is in the twelve-year cycle.
The countdown of the year begins between January 21 and February 20 (depending on what day the second new moon after the winter solstice falls on).
According to this table, you can find out what year it is now according to the Eastern calendar:
Characteristics of the elements (elements)
As mentioned above, one of the five main elements dominates during the year. Each of them has its own character and clarifies the characteristics inherent in the zodiac animals.
Wood - is under the influence of Jupiter.
This element brings with it practicality and compassion. Gives natural elegance and chastity. The Tree Man will always be able to understand and support you. And if he gave his word, he will definitely fulfill it. At the same time, he can be quick-tempered and pessimistic.

The hardness of the metal gives a person stamina and perseverance. Metal Man is ready to fight for truth and justice. At the same time, he often prefers to be alone. Has great inner strength. Of the negative qualities, rigidity and stubbornness can be noted.
Fire is ruled by Mars.
The temper and brightness inherent in fiery natures will never let them get lost in the crowd. The Fire Man has an attractive appearance and a determined character. This element gives light, joy, intuition, but can also cause suffering.
Water is under the influence of Mercury.
