Year of the Yellow Earth Dog: what it promises and what to celebrate. What does the year of the fire monkey promise for Ulyanovsk residents?

The Chinese live according to a lunisolar calendar, which is different from ours.

He became the 4716th in the Eastern tradition.
The dog is a totem animal, and its time period is from 19.00 to 21.00. In the East, this time is considered a stage of well-deserved rest, reflection, and making plans.
In Chinese manuscripts, the Dog is depicted thoughtfully looking up, lying on the grass in a relaxed position.
Asians consider the dog to be a wise pet. Therefore, the coming 2018 promises to be peaceful, and people will feel at peace. But you should remember that before you rest, you need to work hard and finish all your planned tasks.

Aleksey Maslov, an expert in the field of spiritual and cultural traditions of Chinese civilization, will talk about signs, horoscopes and features of the celebration of the Chinese New Year.

The Eastern calendar, which is commonly called the Chinese calendar, was created at a time when the word “dog” or “rooster” did not mean real animals, but the concentration of certain cosmic forces. Therefore, today's predictions may seem ridiculous, but in general they are associated with the presence of certain forces in nature.

A dog is, if you look for advantages, good luck for large financial projects, you can build new house or start saving money for serious purchases; in general, this is a year of prosperity. The belief is simple: a dog is fed when there is something to feed a person - that is, when everything is good in the house.

The topic of earning and placing capital in a safe place will be perhaps the main topic of the year. The most obvious example of such storage is real estate, which is why people will tend to invest their money in real estate.
Many people will want, if not to buy or change housing, then at least to make repairs, update, improve or add something to their property.

It's time to feng shui your home. And finally find out what is really good about your apartment, and how best to use it.
Another option for placing your earned funds is banks, investment and mutual funds. However, anyone can act as a “cash vault” successful business. The main thing is to determine that he is successful.

On the negative side, this year it is not recommended to make promises, especially on financial topics, or to take on such obligations. After all, the Dog is a tight-fisted animal; it always pulls the bone towards itself.
This year is not very favorable for health, and it is also very mediocre for love.

- For people born in what years, is the Dog friendly, and with whom does it conflict?

The Year of the Dog is good for those born directly in its year, then in the year of the Dragon, Tiger or Snake. However, what is confusing to many is the fact that dogs are “funeral” animals in China; During excavations we often find clay figurines in graves. This is where the belief came from that the Year of the Dog brings losses of loved ones...

For the Cat (Rabbit), Pig and Ox, this year does not promise to be the best.

- What other stereotypes are there?

It is believed that the Year of the Dog is a time of dramatic change in the status of a country or region. The same applies to the Year of the Dragon. Moreover, a “sharp” change can go in both directions: both economic prosperity and sudden decline are possible.

It sounds intriguing: presidential elections await us in March of this year, and in 2000, the Year of the Dragon, the head of state was elected for the first time...

Yes, I think this is not easy. Here it is appropriate to recall a warning: making any promises, especially economic or financial, should be done with extreme caution - and this also applies to election campaigns; for politicians this is a big risk. In addition, it is worth remembering that the Year of the Dog often appears either after or before some serious shock.

For example, 1946 is a post-war year, and 1934 is the last calm year on the eve of repression. The dog often accompanies serious unrest.

- Does this apply to the whole year?

Every year has its own lucky numbers, which the Chinese rely on in many ways. For the Year of the Dog, for example, the numbers 3, 4 and 9 are nice. Let’s say, in honor of the New Year, you can give four cups or four jars of jam. The same applies to months - let's say the fifth and eighth (May and August) months this year will be unlucky, and the sixth, tenth and twelfth (June, October and December) will be happy.

If we are already talking about politics, then March, the third month, will be a month of transition - from less happiness to more. So there will definitely be changes.

- How to celebrate the Year of the Dog?

Since this is an earthly year, it is better to celebrate it in a serious company, for example, in a business one. Or with your family, but then it’s worth talking about important things, serious topics. Among the colors, you should choose pink or orchid color (also called sand), both for clothing and for interior decoration.
You need to serve meat on the bones - for example, wings, ribs or osso buco - to please the Dog.

Also, each year in Eastern astrology has its own stones. A dog is a down-to-earth creature. Symbols of the earth are embodied in: amber, beryl, carnelian, citrine, hyacinth, jasper, tiger's eye, zircon.

- If there is a dog at home, do you need to specially pamper it and congratulate it?

By the word “dog” we mean the generalization of a number of forces. The actual dog may not have anything to do with this, so it's not necessary.

On the table - "yay"!

Besides meat dishes With bones it is worth serving traditional dishes of the Chinese feast - as obligatory as Olivier and jellied meat for us.

Among the favorites are the bright, Christmas ball-like balls with delicious nut filling - tan yuan balls - a traditional Chinese New Year dessert. It is customary to sculpt it with the whole family, experimenting with dyes. Sometimes the family spends time leisurely making Chinese jiaozi dumplings. By the way, both of these dishes are associated with money: the word “jiao” was once the name for traditional Chinese coins, and “yuan” is a modern monetary unit. So the more you eat, the richer you will be!

Baked carp also owes its New Year's popularity to money. In Chinese, fish is called “yu”, which is similar to the words “prosperity” or “abundance”. Some families prepare a salad that includes raw fish, pomelo or lime, peppers, butter, carrots, radishes, ground peanuts and sesame seeds, and some simply bake this "yu".

How to make fortune cookies

There is an opinion that the Chinese tradition of putting fortune papers in cookies actually comes... from Russia! Allegedly, Chinese emigrants who settled in the United States got the idea from Russian emigrants to make “lucky dumplings” with a surprise.
Whether this is true or not is now difficult to figure out. It’s better not to bother yourself, but to try making Chinese fortune cookies yourself.

Ingredients:

  • 3 egg whites;
  • 125 grams of flour;
  • 1 tbsp. spoon of corn starch;
  • 50 ml vegetable oil;
  • 50 grams of powdered sugar;
  • vanilla and cinnamon to taste.

Cooking method:

Grind the egg whites with powdered sugar to form a light, soft foam.
Combine flour with starch and sift through a sieve.
Add the dry ingredients to the whites, pour in the vegetable oil and stir with a mixer. The consistency of the dough should be similar to that for pancakes.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it. Place the dough with a spoon so that you get smooth circles diameter with the bottom of a glass.
Bake for 5-7 minutes until the rounds are light golden brown.

In the middle of the still hot circle, place a pre-cut piece of paper with a prediction (preferably no more than two lines). Fold the cookies in half, pinching in the center, and then in half again. It should look like an “ear” of sorts.
You need to act quickly and wear gloves to avoid getting burned.

PS.
I would like to note that the “forecasts” for 2018 set out in this material are somewhat different from the horoscopes for the year of Yellow Earth Dogs that I came across on the net. That's why I posted this information, for your information, so to speak :)
In general, trust people, work on yourself, go straight to achieving your goals, because whole year you will be accompanied and protected by a kind and affectionate, brave and devoted Dog.

BEAR

The bear is a hard worker, a protector of the weak. He gets into trouble, he often lacks diplomacy and gentleness in communicating with others. The bear is always ready to tell the truth in person. This is precisely the biggest problem of the Potapych. If he can find a compromise, first of all with himself, everything will work out!

The Bear has no end to representatives of the opposite sex. They respect him for his strength and will. This year he will also not be offended by attention.

WOLVERINE

Despite his tendency to slack off last year, Wolverine has managed to reap dividends. She has an excellent instinct for good places! It will continue to be the same. Without making any special efforts, Wolverine will nevertheless be able to win. But only if he doesn’t decide to start a family. If this happens, she will have to really work!

CROW

The wise Raven seems to know everything in advance. He is lucky in business, he has worthy friends. He will retain the ability to be in the right place in right time. He will be able to earn decent food for himself and his loved ones.

In my personal life without dramatic changes. For some, this means that the “everything is complicated” status will remain relevant for at least another 365 days!

ERMINE

Stoats are active, fast, light. They just make difficult decisions. Ready for any job. They don’t force you to communicate. In a word, very worthy workers. Their bosses will probably appreciate them with a promotion.

Your personal life will also be bright. It's rare that Ermine can resist having a couple of romances.

TOAD

Toads - good family men. If they start “croaking” with one partner, then, as a rule, they will continue to sing a duet until the grave.

This year the Toads are likely to have an addition to their family. But no special victories are expected at work. But also defeats. And this is already a reason for joy!

GRASSHOPPER

Jump-jump, jump-jump! The grasshopper sets grandiose plans for itself and, as a rule, embodies them. Energetic people, they crave a bright life and know how to color it with all the colors.

They are responsible, efficient, but, alas, not always kind to their superiors.

Grasshoppers will find a second wind in marriage, and those without a soul mate will probably still decide to take a serious step.

HAMSTER

Khomyak's word does not differ from his deeds. As a rule, he is taciturn, scrupulous and careful. Creative person, The hamster is able to solve any problem with brilliance.

In his work, he will remain at the forefront, and new ideas will add authority among his colleagues.

As for personal life, a new addition to the family is possible.

SNAIL

The snail prefers “clean water”. She literally withers away if she lives in an atmosphere of omissions and mistrust. Do you want to know the climate in your work team? Ask the Snail. She won't lie. Because of this, conflicts occur with superiors and colleagues.

This year the Snail should not expect any special changes on the personal front. But those who spent recent months in the shell, hiding from previous relationships, they will finally come out into the light of day and begin to enjoy life.

ANT

Ant - perpetuum mobile. He is ready to generate ideas, offer excellent engineering solutions, take on other people's work, and also help his comrades cope with their love experiences. For this he will receive universal adoration.

This year, Ant himself is in for a rollercoaster in his personal relationships. And, there is a high probability that the loving Ant will not limit himself to one novel.

KHRUSCH

Khrushchev is a beetle who knows a lot about getting all the benefits and pleasures from life. This year he will decide to devote himself to his career and will achieve considerable success.

The same will happen in your personal life. And in order not to be torn between home and work, Khrushch himself will choose what is more important to him. And, as always, you can’t go wrong!

BEAVER

Last year, Beaver devoted a lot of time to his career and work. He was a shock worker on the labor front. This year, some Beavers will have a desire to somehow change their lives. Become a sybarite. But internal discipline will take its toll.

The beaver is a person who is used to planning everything. If his life calendar includes a wedding, then so be it! And no fallen trees will make him turn off the path.

The dog learned not to trust at first sight. Now he is a grated roll! The Dog will have to make serious decisions and enter a new unknown and sometimes frightening reality.

But, most likely, our Dog’s instincts and intuition will not let us down. Thanks to hard work, he will be able to achieve success.

Changes are possible on the personal front. Unmarried/unmarried Dogs are highly likely to no longer howl at the moon in anguish. And they will acquire a warm family nest.

The horse is a noble animal, revered in various cultures for its endurance, kindness and hard work. In ancient times, the Chinese defined it as a symbol of strong natural energy, a hardened weapon that brings great benefit.

Blue color symbolizes a state of rest and reflects mental and physiological needs. This shade encourages a person to think deeply about the meaning of life and learn the truth. The element of the coming year is wood, so the coming period is characterized by practicality, quick temper and immoderation. In 2014, you must first set a goal, and then direct energy and strength to achieve it. By the way, wooden Horses differ from their “hundred horses” in their kindness, generosity, gentleness of character, and they have a developed imagination. They have an extraordinary mindset, which helps them make non-standard but effective decisions in many situations.

An independent and freedom-loving Horse does not need advice. She prefers to behave as she sees fit, but she experiences failures with difficulty. Horse according to the Chinese horoscope - symbol pure reason and wisdom. Therefore, 2014 may bring a series of smart actions and decisions for all those who work in the creative field. In addition, astrologers promise that it is at this time that the muse will increasingly begin to visit people.

The previous year of the Snake was a little depressing due to the lack of the right ideas, but in 2014 we expect so many fresh thoughts that the main thing is not to get confused. The brain will work in such a way that at first it will become difficult to keep up with it. Advice from astrologers: do not ignore what comes to your mind, because there is a chance to create many different projects that can receive productive development. It’s better to write down all the useful and creative ideas you come up with.

Horses the stars promise a favorable period, which is usually for people whose symbol becomes the lord of the year. In 2014, astrologers advise Horses to run in a herd, and not alone, that is, not to carry the whole cart on themselves alone, but to save energy, enlist the help of friends and not break the bit. Remember that in pursuit of luck it is easy to stumble and break a leg, both straight and figuratively. Be careful when engaging in extreme sports, and learn to slow down if your planned business adventure goes south. The Universe does not promise Horses a smooth road and green light along the entire journey. Sometimes you have to overcome obstacles and jump over potholes, but the result is worth it. People who have long dreamed of throwing off office oppression should open own business, gradually increasing the pace and momentum. On initial stage the business will require large investments, so make sure that right moment you have found savings that allow you to make your dream come true. The horoscope advises entrepreneurs to make do own funds without going into debt either to people or to banks. Those who are satisfied with their current place of work will be promoted career ladder.

Family Horses will be seized by the desire to run ahead of the team, single-handedly determining the direction and speed of movement. Even young foals will periodically begin to buck against parental dictates, defending their independence. An advantage will be the fact that people of this sign will fearlessly take responsibility for the financial support of the family, so it will be impossible to reproach them for neglecting their responsibilities. However, the horoscope advises you to remember that your opinion may turn out to be wrong, so listen to the advice of loved ones before you bring your family into the swamp.

For those who are not married, astrologers give the following recommendation: love relationships everything will depend on you. People who believe in “happy endings” and persistently search for their Cinderella will definitely find it. And how this fairy tale ends will be determined solely by your behavior and attitude towards your chosen one or chosen one.

rat- Horses don’t like their vector owners. Therefore, those born under this sign should exercise every possible caution in 2014: do not risk money, do not go ahead in love, do not overestimate your health. Rats need to prepare for unexpected turns of fate and sudden life leaps. The events taking place will resemble a restive stallion rearing up, who either wants to throw the unlucky rider to the ground, or is about to trample him, or is now rushing forward with the speed of the wind, leaving competitors to swallow the dust of the road. Don’t scold your horoscope and don’t drink liters of valerian, because the frantic pace of life that the Horse has set has its advantages. This year you will achieve a lot, and if you develop the right behavioral tactics, you will get a lot. Rats that cannot internally adjust to the speed of the race will eventually develop health problems. Don’t worry about every little thing, every comment, every unkind look, because your body is sensitive to your state of mind.

Family Rats will resist the influence of the Horse, surrounded by family and friends. It’s as if you will turn into communicating vessels: joys and sorrows will be evenly distributed among everyone who is nearby. They will not allow you to carry a heavy burden alone, but they will definitely help you, caress you and warm you up. Try to respond to the people who love you with the same care and tenderness. As for the still lonely Rats, natural caution will not allow them to commit rash actions that other signs are guilty of. From a love point of view, this will be expressed in the fact that you will have few novels in 2014, but each of them has a chance of becoming a legal marriage. If there is no suitable person nearby, then the gray materialist will prefer to be left alone than to waste time and energy on a pale semblance of a relationship.

TO Bull The horse is doing well. They can even be comrades if they are connected by a common cause. The Bulls will have favorable year, if you work tirelessly, which, however, they always do. Perhaps the Horse will share his luck with them. However, you should not expect that the very first month will bring unprecedented wealth and success. Be prepared in advance for the fact that you will not see shoots right away. To enjoy a fresh apple, the Ox will have to plant a tree, water it every day, protect it from voracious insects, and then climb the trunk to the long-awaited fruit. The first half of the year will be a period of investing effort, time and money, but in the second half, life will begin to feed you well-deserved fruits. The bosses will finally notice the responsible employee and reward him with a promotion. In 2014, in order to maintain your position, you will have to constantly expand your knowledge base by attending professional courses and reading specialized literature.

IN family life For the Bulls, the moment has come when it is necessary to reconsider the established rules, or even change the form of government. If until now there was reign within your walls absolute monarchy, and the opposition was mercilessly suppressed and sent to the kitchen to peel potatoes, then in 2014 a riot could break out on the ship. If the Bull does not loosen his bonds and does not recognize the right of children and life partners to own opinion, then let him wait for the revolution. Do not lead the confrontation to an open conflict and have a heart-to-heart talk with your household. In the year of the Horse, you need to come to a compromise and turn disgruntled subordinates into full-fledged allies.

The year does not promise lonely representatives of this sign whirlwind romances and love at first sight. But if you demonstrate persistence in finding your soulmate, then the Universe will definitely reward you with a fateful meeting, however, provided that you really need it.

U Tigers in 2014 everything will be in perfect order: a lot of interesting opportunities, ideas and ventures. Chinese winners easily ride Tigers, not Horses, so both of these symbols mean incredible luck and success. But try to take it from the very beginning good start, otherwise you risk missing out on many opportunities. Predators who lie in their den in indecision, postponing important matters for later, will hopelessly lag behind the Horse that has galloped, and it will be extremely difficult to catch up with it later.

In 2014, Tigers will begin to magnetically attract relatives who are in trouble, because they always go to the strongest and wisest representative of the clan for help. Your inner instinct will tell others that you can solve their problems and protect them from enemies.

When working in the year of the Horse, Tigers must show passion and enthusiasm. You must clearly see the goal and quickly move towards it. Don’t chase two birds with one stone at the same time; it’s better to delegate the pursuit of them to subordinates, while you look for bigger prey. The main thing is to demonstrate competence and hard work, and then advancement up the career ladder will not be long in coming. Tigers must push themselves out of their comfort zone if life offers more tempting prospects. Don't be afraid of change and look confidently into the future. Moving up the social ladder will have a beneficial effect on your financial situation. In 2014, you will be able to afford more than usual, fulfilling your old dream of traveling or purchasing a large item. The horoscope only warns that money must be looked at as a means, and not as an end.

U Rabbits There may be minor troubles, failures in plans, collapse of plans and stress. Ambitious individuals eager to conquer career Everest will most likely be disappointed. The fact is that the frisky Horse rushes forward and demands the same from its protégés. A pet rabbit with his rounded belly, he is simply unable to maintain the given pace. His legs will bleed, his claws will break, he will fall out in the mud, but he is unlikely to reach the finish line as a winner. Failures will hurt his pride, causing bitterness and disappointment in his soul. The rabbit will begin to blame himself for weakness, and those around him for deceit. To avoid such a situation, you just need to accept the fact that 2014 is not suitable for dramatic changes, and it is better to postpone the pursuit of the Blue Bird of Happiness for a more favorable period. Live at your own pace, celebrating small victories and not dwelling on failures.

In terms of expenses, Rabbits should control themselves and their household members, not allowing them to waste money left and right. Risky deals and financial adventures are not for you. If there are any unexpected income, it will most likely come from unplanned sources. Maybe an elderly aunt will transfer an apartment or a randomly purchased property to you lottery ticket will be a winner. In any case, it is necessary to use the gift of fate wisely. Invest the money you receive in a stable enterprise.

But Dragons will be able to fly and have fun in the coming year without hindrance, because Horses also fly, as we know from childhood. Major breakthroughs await Dragons in all areas of life. They will achieve success in their work thanks to non-trivial thinking and easy attitude to life. Demand from people this sign of stubbornness, hard work- it's like harnessing a mythical creature to a cart full of stones. Dragons are created for flight and exploits, and not to be a draft force, and the Horse understands this very well. If you have proven yourself to be a valuable, competent employee, then in 2014 there is a high probability of receiving the desired promotion, even if your current successes are inferior to those of your colleagues. However, the horoscope advises not to neglect routine duties and not to mix work with personal life.

Family Dragons in the year of the Horse will be pacified and happy. They have a safe lair where the enemy will not penetrate, and children of whom they can rightfully be proud. But you shouldn’t perceive life as an eternal holiday; you need to come down from heaven to earth from time to time. Of course, seeing distant horizons and distant prospects is good, but our life consists of short moments that fill it with meaning. It is recommended to pay attention to one more aspect. If Dragons do not want to gain a layer of fat, then they should not lie low in the lair, shuttling between the refrigerator and the sofa. Take time to exercise and switch to a healthy diet, otherwise, instead of a majestic lizard, people will see a bun with wings.

Though Snake and “bitten” Oleg at the skull of his horse, the noble soul of the Horse does not hold a grudge. Everything will be fine for the Snakes in 2014, unless they ruin their own lives. The horoscope does not promise any leaps up the career ladder, or a change of citizenship, or revolutionary achievements. Try to maintain stability and harmony within yourself, dodge the blows of fate in time and direct your strength to maintaining the family fortress. In their own walls they will always listen, understand and try to help.

Pay due attention to your health, because the energy supply from the star patrons will be extremely scarce, which will make the Snake easy prey for viruses and microbes. Don’t forget about healthy food and good sleep, then your protective shell will not become thinner and will not crumble under blows external environment. In money matters, it is important to maintain reasonable economy. Although the influx of funds will be smooth and stable, it will not be possible to show off and buy snow-white yachts. Plan your family budget carefully and try to save money for a rainy day. Perhaps the Snakes will be offered a second job, which will allow them to maintain their well-being at a decent level. However, your household members will not sit on your neck, but will try to contribute to the common pot.

Sheep and Horses, according to Chinese beliefs, have a long-standing friendship. So Sheep can expect happiness in their personal lives, cozy pastures and delicious juicy grass. In general, the coming months are all for them. What others achieve with hard work will float straight into the hands of the Sheep, and all they have to do is grab goldfish and start making wishes. At work, everything will move smoothly and calmly. Thanks to the ability to find mutual language with those around you in the year of the Horse, you will win the favor of your colleagues and the patronage of higher ranks. A non-trivial approach to solving problems will more than once allow Sheep to emerge victorious from delicate situations, and enthusiasm and creativity will attract many like-minded people to their side. A creative streak and the ability to see something new in the boring old will help you achieve success in science and art.

Family people should take their responsibilities more seriously and devote more time to their household, even if they really want to go to barbecues with their single friends or go shopping with their girlfriends. In 2014, couples may have disagreements on the topics of “who washed more dishes” and “whose turn it is to walk the dog.” Sheep will begin to avoid household chores at all costs, disappearing whenever spring cleaning or preparation for a family celebration looms on the horizon. If you don’t want your loved ones to be offended by such a dismissive attitude, then pull yourself together and, through “I can’t” and “I don’t want,” get involved in family life. As for single representatives of this sign, in a love relationship in the year of the Horse they will resemble frivolous butterflies fluttering from flower to flower in search of sweet nectar. Love at first sight, all-consuming passion, parallel romances await them - and all this within one year! Sheep will allow themselves to lose their heads from hurricane feelings and commit a couple of crazy things that will be pleasant to remember in old age.

Monkeys Various traps may await you in 2014. Therefore, you should beware of thoughtless spending, relationships with the wrong people, and new too intrusive friends. The horoscope advises Monkeys not to overdo it with jokes and antics, because by masking serious feelings with frivolous behavior, you can alienate people dear to your heart. Don't be afraid to show your loved ones how much you need them and how much they mean to you. And in general, in 2014, try to become positive character: do not drink a lot of alcohol, do not eat kilograms of lard in chocolate and sleep at least 8 hours a day. Otherwise, health will say to the Monkeys: “Goodbye!” - and will give way to nervous breakdowns and problems with the body.

Family people should be attentive to their household members. Indifference and disregard for everyday problems can alienate loved ones from Monkeys. You shouldn’t isolate yourself, because if resentment and negativity are boiling inside, then they obviously won’t turn into bright joy. There is no need to be shy about sharing problems that arise with family members, because it is the love, understanding and participation of relatives that help you remain strong and confident.

Free Monkey on love front can feel like a winner. Thanks to his natural ability to spread waves of positivity around himself and Have a good mood, representatives of this sign will become that light in the night to which bright moths flock. The variety of choices will give rise to many light short-term romances, which will be pleasant to remember later, but none of the partners will most likely touch the heart strings.

The Chinese horoscope for the year of the Horse categorically prohibits the Monkey from getting involved in financial adventures if he does not want to become a victim of bloodthirsty predators who will fleece the simpleton like a stick.

It won't be easy for those born in the year Rooster, although for slightly different reasons. Life will clearly require you to settle down, preferring one partner. But the feathered sultan, as before, will want everything at once. The absence of parallel romances and adrenaline in the blood will marinate the life of people of this sign, making it gray and monotonous. In the current situation, there are two possible scenarios for the development of events: you can resign yourself and play according to the proposed rules, or you can go to battle with fate in order to accept inevitable defeat.

At work, you will have to mobilize your intelligence, dexterity and courage in order to rush into the thick of the struggle for the leadership position. Significant role The current leadership will play a role in future events. A rooster who values ​​his place and knows how to demonstrate it will come to the fore, fluff his tail and begin to parade around the office as a winner. But there is no need to waste time on bickering and arguing; it is better to pay attention to collective projects. Firstly, this will help you acquire useful skills and learn a lot from more experienced colleagues, and secondly, it will protect you from the temptation to quit halfway. After all, the Rooster is essentially like a match: it ignites quickly, but goes out just as quickly.

In 2014, golden rain will fall over the representatives of this sign, which, however, will slip between the fingers and disappear. Although cash flow will be quite impressive, the marble palace will not be eaten by the Roosters, and they will not start eating black caviar with spoons. More income will give rise to increased needs, so over the course of 12 months you will often think about how to cut costs and set aside part of your salary for a rainy day. Many seem to return to the days of cheerful student life, living large at the beginning of the month and intercepting payday sums at the end. Try to plan your budget carefully and avoid borrowing.

For dogs, as brothers of the Horse in friendship and devotion to man, it is recommended to boldly catch luck by the tail. A joint hunt awaits them, invigorating the blood: just get up earlier, run faster, attack more boldly. In 2014, the Horse will try to surround the Dogs with hundreds of urgent matters, major projects and important tasks. The phone will start ringing off the hook with calls, and the mail will be bursting with incoming letters, and you won’t even have time to take a sip of coffee. Despite the favor of Lady Fortune, you will have to work hard to achieve the desired result. In the end, it will not be the strongest, but the most stubborn and purposeful who will reach the top. Self-doubt can play a role with Dogs. cruel joke, forcing you to retreat at the first failure and be content with little.

If you are single, then the Universe will almost certainly give you a meeting with the right person, and your task is not to pass by fate and win the right to happiness. For open and friendly people, the chances of reciprocity will approach 100%. For those Dogs who have already found their soul mate, the horoscope advises them to refrain from testing their feelings for strength and simply believe in their partner’s love. Playful winks with cute neighbors and attractive colleagues will not add strength to your relationship. In this case, one fine day your chosen one (or chosen one) will throw a huge scandal and leave, and you will be left with a fictitious novel and a pack of raw dumplings in the refrigerator. However, in 2014, Dogs will be able to eat dumplings, sausages, and just bread and water, because all their thoughts will be occupied with their career. In family life, representatives of this sign will offer barter to household members: “I give you a salary, and you give me peace of mind.”

Born in the year Pigs chinese horoscope advises to behave like conscientious pensioners: no stress, no betrayal, everything is only healthy, lean, proven, leisurely and thoughtful, even going to bed on time. Natural prudence and a bit of healthy skepticism will help pigs gain fat without going to the sausage. 2014 will be a good year for people creative professions who invest not only their working time, but also their soul into their work. If you can find in routine matters a glimpse of your vocation, you will be an order of magnitude more successful than those colleagues who come to the office solely for the sake of money. People who decide to change jobs are likely to hit the jackpot in life's lottery. However, in order to gain authority in the new team, representatives of this sign will have to demonstrate perseverance and a willingness to fight to the last.

Peace and idyll will reign in family life. It’s as if the Universe will decide to reward Pigs for good behavior: friends will be loyal, business partners will be reliable, and health will be great. Your family will come to the fore for you, and your experiences will be primarily associated with them. The Horse promises to give lonely Pigs a fateful acquaintance. All that’s left to do is catch up with the four-legged patroness and remind her of this promise. People who prefer to lie all day long under the warm sun, warming their sides, will still be lonely by the end of the year. The coming period will reward those who are energetic, purposeful and proactive, so you will have to either join their ranks or come to terms with the absence of a loved one in your life. Pigs should not be immersed in thoughts about their own imperfections or possible refusal, otherwise they will remain indecisive near the object of their adoration until a more nimble competitor takes him away. Accustom yourself to the idea that no one will eat you for a simple question. If the chosen one refuses, then at least you will stop flattering yourself with false hope and go on in search of destiny.

It all started in 2600 BC, when Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first zodiac calendar. In accordance with it, twelve animals formed...

The Chinese calendar is not solar, like the European one, but lunar, and therefore the first day of the new year does not always fall on the same date. Usually Chinese New Year occurs between the end of January and mid-February.

This time, the New Year 2018 will begin in China on January 29, 2018, and this year will be the 4086th year and the Year of the Fire Dog. Why Fiery? The fact is that the Chinese superimpose on the 12-year cycle of Animals a 5-year cycle of the Elements - Metal, Water, Fire, Wood and Earth. So the Fire Dog is different from the Wood Dog and, even more so, from the Water Dog.

What is the Dog in the Chinese Zodiac?

In general, the Dog is a symbol of a compassionate individuality. You can always expect from a Dog good words, support and advice. The dog is a listener, always available to provide his sensitive ear or faithful shoulder to a friend at the right time. Sometimes the Dog can be annoying and may strive to take control of the situation, but this is only due to excessive impressionability and a desire to serve. Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson and Jennifer Lopez were born under the sign of the Dog. Nice company, really, what cute and active dogs!

Fire Dogs (born in 1946 and 2006) are natural leaders - popular, charismatic people, always surrounded by a group of fans. These Dogs also have high sexual attractiveness. They are enterprising and lively, honest and sincere. Bright representative- Bill Clinton - who would doubt it!

Thus, we should not expect anything unpleasant from the Year of the Dog. This year will be a year of mercy, compassion and support. Strong countries will help weak ones, authoritative politicians will forcibly impose their projects on citizens aimed at their own good.
In life ordinary people The Fire Dog will add love and more love. To some, this love may even seem excessive, but such are the stars, and there is no escape from it. It's better to calm down, relax and have fun.

How to celebrate the Year of the Dog.

All dogs love bones. Therefore on New Year's table There must be dishes with bones. It could be anything except a bird. They have thin, tubular bones, and your dog can get hurt if he eats them.
The dog loves its element - fire. Therefore, there must be candles on the festive table. If you have a cat, then it is better to hide it during the chiming clock, otherwise there is a danger that the whole year the family will live like a cat and a dog. If you have a dog in your house, then as the chimes strike, place your hand on it and say to yourself your cherished wish 3 times. It will definitely come true.

How to dress. IN New Year's Eve you should dress in sandy yellow or gold. Makeup should be in bright colors. But under no circumstances wear a chain or necklace. Dogs don't like collars. In this case, you will have a very nervous year. And finally. If you have a dog, it should be cared for all day long. After all, this is her holiday too!
