61 years what year according to the horoscope. Zodiac signs by year of birth. New Year according to the Eastern calendar

The last days of the outgoing year and the threshold of the new one always seem to us significant, special, filled with deep meaning. We dream of getting rid of the failures and worries that have bothered us for the past 12 months, and we look to tomorrow with hope, trying to predict what it has in store for us? And, of course, we are curious: what symbolic animal will come into its own with the last strike of the clock at

Myths and legends

Let's look at what animals are by year. Many legends and myths are associated with its origin. The most famous one says that once the Buddha called all the creatures of the earth to him on an important matter. And those 12 that appeared before the eyes of the deity before the others received a wonderful reward: to rule over the destinies of peoples and states for 12 whole months. So the eastern calendar of animals by years was created.

Astronomical data

It is difficult to say now how everything actually happened. It is only known that it is based on the astronomical cycles of the two main celestial bodies for the Earth - the Sun and the Moon, as well as Saturn and Jupiter. The Eastern calendar of animals by years includes a periodicity of 12 years. This is how long it takes Jupiter to make a complete revolution around the Sun. And if we take into account that in ancient times the nomadic peoples inhabiting the present territories of the East Asian region revered Jupiter as their patron and endowed it with mystical properties, it is understandable why the eastern calendar of animals by years is calculated exactly for 12 years. The Chinese were the first to think of it. It was almost 4 thousand years ago. And now this calendar is the main one not only in China, but also in Japan, Korea, Kampuchea, Mongolia, Thailand and many other countries. Moreover, the signs of the Zodiac according to the eastern calendar are gladly recognized in the Old and New Worlds as symbols of the year. And in Russia too!

Let's list those lucky ones whom the Buddha noted with his special disposition. It is known that the animals resorted to it not all at once, but one by one. As a result, preference was given to one or the other. The countdown of the new year began with the second full moon, which came after the winter - December in our opinion - solstice. according to the eastern calendar, they begin with the Rat. Further, in order, follow the Tiger, the Rabbit (or Hare) and the Dragon, the Snake and the Horse. The last animal, by the way, is a symbol of the outgoing year, and we can hear the rhythmic clatter of its hooves for several more days. And in place of the Horse, a restless hard worker with a noble, but restive character, the melancholic, sometimes loving to put out her horns and buck, but in general a peaceful domestic Goat, is in a hurry. The signs of the zodiac according to the eastern calendar are not the same in all Asian countries. The goat is revered in China. And in Japan, they believe that 2015 will be ruled by the Sheep. This is followed by Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig (or Boar). This is such a heavenly zoo!

Elements and elements

Astrologers note that the symbols of the Eastern calendar are not limited to animals. They include the main natural elements and elements. These are Fire, Wood, Earth, Water, Metal. Each has a specific symbolic meaning. The tree is the personification of the East itself, the place from where the sunrise begins, the beginning of life, spring, youth, flowering, emergence, the birth of all life processes. The main one among the Chinese - the Dragon - is located precisely in the eastern part of the house or temple. Fire is the South, it is associated with. Metaphorically, the element of fire is equated with progress, prosperity, the disclosure of one's own potentials in various spheres of life, the growth of prosperity and abundance. It is also associated with fame, self-realization. Thus, Fire is the manifestation of the most powerful and bright flowering, the culmination of something.

Philosophy of the East

The table of the eastern calendar will be incomplete without the elements of the Earth - the central one in the eastern philosophical system. In the cosmic spheres, its correspondence is the Polar Star, the prototype of the earthly imperial power. Therefore, the earth element is associated with ordering, legitimizing any processes, manifestations of control and order, as well as confrontations because of them. And if the Tree was associated by Chinese philosophers with spring, then the Earth is the middle of summer, the ripening of fruits and fruits, as well as the wise time for the maturity of human life. Metal is reliability, strength, justice, hardness. The element is associated with the Sun, just setting, and is associated with the West - the sunset. Metaphorically, it means the sunset of human life, wise contemplation, "time to collect stones" and reap the harvest. And water, fluid and changeable, is considered the most incomprehensible and mysterious by the eastern sages. It is associated with the North, old age and its inherent wisdom, the rejection of false illusions, peace.

Goat Dereza

But let us return to the present day, to our urgent affairs. The coming year, according to the eastern calendar, is the year of the Goat. What interesting things can be learned about him from astrological characteristics? In the 21st century, we will meet the "bearded beauty" for the second time - the first came in 2003. In Russian folklore, a goat is a rather capricious and crafty animal. It is difficult to please her, Dereza is much in the dirty tricks, therefore she is peeled, and her sides are peeled. At the same time, a goat is a nurse, a kind, unpretentious, very clean animal, her milk is healthier and more valuable than cow's. In the East, especially among the poor, Dereza was very much appreciated. But the attitude towards goats was somewhat different: they were both dissolute, and stupid, and pugnacious. And for some reason "old". The abusive expression "old goat" wanders from people to people, from one national culture to another.

Symbol of the year

What is the characteristic year of the Goat according to the eastern calendar? If we take into account the fact that goats are very fond of affection, they respond to it with pleasure, then from the years of which it is the totem, one should also expect calmness, goodwill, peace and the wise resolution of many global and minor conflicts. Calmness and stability, without sharp jumps and changes, should please everyone who is tired of crises and changes and is an adherent of eternal values. Therefore, if you treat others with sincere friendliness and cordiality, the support of Goat-Dereza is guaranteed to you! The ruler of the cosmic mysteries in 2015 will be Jupiter - a planet that brings with it world harmony and order, the highest justice and establishes the most important laws of human coexistence and mercy. It is no wonder that many people associate with the "year of Jupiter" hopes for positive changes in their lives.

Pastoral with sheep

According to the Eastern calendar, the Sheep shares the New Year's throne with the Goat. She was chosen as a totem by the inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun. Sheep, as we know, are extremely peaceful and sweet animals. Someone considers them stupid, true, but in Christian mythology, Christ himself was compared with a lamb - a meek and defenseless lamb. Nature, indeed, did not take care that the lambs could stand up for themselves - they have neither strong hooves, nor sharp horns, nor ferocious fangs. That is why they are so dependent on the person. But the year of the Sheep, in this case, should not be warlike, with cataclysms and natural disasters. On the contrary, the meek Sheep should bring peace and calm.

"Horned" varieties

It was not in vain that we noted the connection of the Chinese calendar not only with the animal world, but also with the natural elements and elements. Indeed, in accordance with them, each totem abides in one form or another. So, the past years 1931 and 1991 and the coming decades in 2051 refer to the Metal Goat. The Water Goat was 1943, 2003 and will be 2063. The Wooden Goat walked around the world in 1955, will return in a few days - in 2015, and then nods its horns affably in 2075. The kingdom of the Fire Goat fell on 1907 and 1967, then it will come in 2027. And, finally, the Earth Goat greeted the world with its "bleep" in 1919 and 1979, and we will hear it again in 2051. Happy new year friends? Yes, Happy New Year!

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.

Zodiac signs by year of birth

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.

When choosing a partner for family life, it is useful to take into account the compatibility of signs according to the Eastern horoscope and date of birth.

The first mention of the Eastern horoscope was four thousand years ago. A Chinese or Eastern horoscope by year of birth will help you understand your individuality and know yourself, revealing previously unknown talents and opportunities in yourself. As the Chinese proverb says, “A person who knows himself can control his Destiny on his own, attracting good luck, success, prosperity into his life.” According to an ancient Eastern legend, which tells that the Buddha, leaving this world, called all the animals goodbye.

Of all the invited animals, only twelve came, in gratitude he gave each of them a year of reign on Earth, making a full cycle of twelve years. Since that time, animals "come" to people in strict sequence, observing their fate. Each representative of the year endows people who were born in their year with certain talents and gifts. The signs of the Eastern calendar are always depicted in a circle, where all the animals are located in a certain order opposite each other. It is believed that opposite signs are complete opposites, they are not compatible with each other.

The countdown of the new eastern year is conducted from the second new moon, which occurs after the winter solstice - December 22. The entire countdown of the Eastern year is carried out according to the lunar calendar, and each new month, in the Eastern calendar, begins with a new moon.

Chinese astrologers divide all the signs of the Zodiac into four groups (triads), they believe that people who were born in the same triad can easily find a common language with each other. According to many observations, it has been noted that partnerships and marriages concluded between representatives of the same group are the most successful.

Zodiac signs according to the Chinese horoscope

The first group is Rat, Monkey, Dragon. Energetic, active, they tend to go to extremes. They love decisive action and rivalry. Rats need the decisiveness and self-confidence of the Dragon, in turn, he lacks the cunning mind of the Monkey and the resourceful quick wit of the Rat. Monkeys appreciate the high intelligence and enthusiasm of the Dragon in Rats.
The second group is the Snake, Rooster, Bull. Hardworking, prudent, highly intellectual, self-confident, purposeful. The self-confident Ox and the diplomatic Snake help balance the irascibility of the Rooster. The balanced Ox is favorably influenced by the brightness of the Rooster and the dexterity of the Snake, and the Snake, in turn, is helped to reach great heights by the Ox and the Rooster, thanks to their positive qualities.
The third group is Horse, Dog, Tiger. Impulsive, friendly, able to easily establish friendships. To implement their strategic plans, the Horses will help - the determination of the Dog and the restlessness of the Tiger. The dog, in turn, will keep the Tiger from excessive rudeness and rigidity.
The fourth group is Rabbit (Cat), Goat (Sheep), Boar. Modest, sympathetic, artless, gentle and caring. The Rabbit gives the Goat a sense of security and balances out her generosity. The Pig complements the Goat with its meek sensitive nature, and the Rabbit with its strategic thinking.

The elements of the zodiac signs according to the Chinese horoscope

Each sign of the Eastern horoscope is characterized not only by the animal, which corresponds to the year, but also by one of the five elements - Water, Metal, Fire, Wood, Earth. Chinese philosophy believes that each of these elements is under the control of its own planet: Water - Mercury, Metal - Venus, Fire - Mars, Wood - Jupiter, Earth - Saturn.

Each of these elements has its own positive and negative qualities that a person possesses under their influence. Also, the power of influence of each element affects differently at different times of the year. The strongest influence of Water is in winter, Metal is in Autumn, Fire is in summer, Wood is in spring, while Earth retains its influence throughout the year.

Each element complements the characteristics of the sign, giving it individuality and originality. Also, Chinese philosophers distinguish six pairs of signs, in which the development of astrological conflict is always observed. The reason for these conflicts is manifested in how the representatives of these signs react differently to the world around them. Here are the couples:

Rat (Water) – Horse (Fire)
Ox (Earth) – Goat (Earth)
Tiger (Wood) – Monkey (Metal)
Dragon (Earth) – Dog (Earth)
Snake (Fire) – Boar (Water)

However, do not despair if the results of the analysis, according to the Eastern horoscope, turned out to be disappointing. Chinese philosophers argue that human destiny and luck are in the hands of the person himself.

The influence of the energies of Yin and Yang on the characteristics of the sign

It is also believed that energy affects the characteristics of the sign. According to ancient Chinese philosophy, this is expressed through the energies of two opposites, two principles that are always in continuous interaction - Yin and Yang. These two energies are opposite, always complement each other, and do not exist without each other. In order to understand what type of energy prevails in a person, you need to pay attention to which signs of energy are manifested more.

Yin is the symbol of a woman. A lean physique, not tall, responsiveness, not a material mindset, individualism, contemplation, melancholy.
Yang is the symbol of man. Strong physique, medium and high growth, sociability, optimism, material mindset, self-confidence, energy.

Yin and Yang are two different energies that harmoniously combine in any person, regardless of gender.

The characteristic of each sign is given in accordance with the year of birth, the date and time in which the person was born. A person receives the qualities of his sign, the corresponding character traits, his destiny. The eastern horoscope tells about the characteristics of a person’s character, his special talents, opportunities, specifics in communicating with other people. Also, with the help of characteristics, according to the Eastern horoscope, it is possible to find out which areas of activity are best for a person to engage in. The characteristics of the horoscope display the main milestones of a person’s fate, what you should pay attention to and what you can avoid.

The Eastern horoscope describes not the life events of a person, but his character and relationships between people. The characteristic of the sign of the Zodiac offers us a highly accurate tool with which each of us can understand our potential, set life priorities and directions for ourselves.

With the help of this tool, each of us will be able to understand which relationships can be useful, and which ones should be adjusted or abandoned altogether. According to the Eastern horoscope, one can also understand the character and relationship with other people in order to understand which approach and style of communication will be the most productive.

The eastern zodiac is represented by twelve signs of the zodiac, each of which belongs to a specific animal. According to the most popular legend, only this dozen brave men were able to cross the cold wide river to come to the Buddha. The Buddha called all the animals to him, but they only got there. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. Each animal received a gift for a year, in accordance with the circulation cycle of Jupiter.

In accordance with the lunar calendar, which is taken as a basis in the east, the year does not begin on January 1, but on the first new moon after January 21. Thus, the beginning of the new year according to the Eastern calendar is celebrated in the period from January 21 to February 20. Those who were born during this period need to carefully calculate their year.

The eastern horoscope is 12 signs of the zodiac and 5 elements - Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood. They make up the 60-year cycle of the calendar, which always opens the year of the Rat, the element of wood, and closes the year of the Pig, the element of water. The current 60 year cycle began in 1984 Wood Rat and will end in 2044 Water Pigs.

The combination of animal and element does not determine a standard set of character traits for a person born in a certain year. The eastern horoscope, unlike the western one, determines the capabilities of a person, while the western one describes his intentions and goals. Thus, the eastern horoscope helps to understand the orientation of the spiritual needs of each, the style of expression and ways of interacting with others and the world as a whole.

Elements of the Chinese horoscope

Each element endows the sign with special qualities, each element has its own color. Fire Release- this is the color red and the qualities of courage and selfishness, invention and curiosity. earth element- this is yellow (brown) color and the qualities of practicality and passivity, as well as reliability and sensuality. Metal Release- this is the white color and the qualities of originality and willpower, kindness, determination and intelligence. Water Release- this is black color and the qualities of intuition and creativity, dynamism and sociability. Wood Release is the green (blue) color and the qualities of individualism, compassion and inertia. The emotions of the elements are defined as follows: fire is joy; the earth is reflections; metal is rage and passion; water is fears; the tree is sorrow.

principles of yin and yang

In addition to the elements, each animal of the eastern zodiac expresses the male principle. Jan or feminine principle yin. The Yang principle personifies the masculine, active principle, the desire for creative development and exploration of new opportunities. The principle of Yin personifies the feminine, passive principle, the ability to accept and preserve, select the most valuable and create a tradition. The Yang years are odd - Rat, Tiger, Dragon, Horse, Monkey, Dog. Yin years include even ones - Ox, Rabbit, Snake (yin / yang), Goat (Sheep), Rooster, Pig.

Compatibility of the signs of the eastern zodiac

Between themselves, the signs of the animals of the eastern zodiac form four triplets kindred compatibility. This compatibility from a psychological point of view corresponds to four types of temperament.

1. Rat, Dragon and Monkey are open signs

2. Bull, Snake and Rooster - closed signs

3. Tiger, Horse and Dog - strong-willed signs

4. Rabbit, Goat (Sheep) and Pig (Boar) are creative signs.

The animals of the zodiac belonging to the same trinity interact well with each other at all levels of life - from friendship and love to partnership and career.

Starting from the third millennium BC, the Eastern calendar was introduced in the states of the Asian continent. The calendar was compiled during the reign of one of the legendary rulers of Huang Di, and the calendar was used for a long time - about several thousand years in countries: China, Korea, Mongolia, Japan, Vietnam, Kampuchea and others.

The Eastern calendar is presented as a system that includes cycles lasting 60 years, which are compiled taking into account the movement of the Sun, Earth, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. The cycles of Jupiter were included in the sixty-year cycle - at 12 years, as well as the cycles of Saturn - at 30 years.

In ancient times, the territory of the East was dominated by tribes of nomadic peoples, whose time was calculated according to the cycles of Jupiter in 12 years. The peoples of China and Japan were sure that prosperity and grace would come during the movement of Jupiter. The peoples of Asian countries developed a calendar with cycles of 12 years, taking into account the movement of the Sun and Jupiter. The trajectory of Jupiter was divided into twelve segments of equal size, each of which was given the name of one or another animal.

According to legend, Buddha invited animals to celebrate the New Year. The animals were assured that they would be given as a gift - a whole year each, by assigning the year the name of one or another of those invited to the meeting. After the invitation of the Buddha, the following types of animals came to meet him: a rat, a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster, a dog, a pig.

There is another legend. The Buddha called the animals before leaving the earth. All the same 12 species of animals came to say goodbye - 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.
The Buddha, after the meeting, thanked these animals and granted each of them the right to rule for one year. In eastern countries, the belief is deeply rooted that all these animals have, along with positive, and negative features of people born in one or another period according to the eastern summer reckoning.

Jupiter, in sixty years of rotation around the Sun, makes five revolutions, therefore this figure underlies the worldview of naturalistic philosophy in China.
The number five symbolizes the types of natural manifestations in the form of: wood, fire, metal, water, earth. In turn, these five phenomena are accompanied by colors: green, red, yellow, white, black. In China, the sixty-year cycle was formed after the unification of the duodecimal cycle "earthly branches" and the decimal cycle, which includes: wood, fire, earth, metal, water.
The decimal cycle of "elements" corresponds to two symbols in the form of male and female beginnings, which means about the years going in order, corresponding to different animals, but one element.

The Eastern calendar is compiled for a period of 60 years, it includes twelve animals, starting from the year of the Rat and ending with the year of the Pig, as well as five elements. The next Eastern calendar is calculated from 02/02/1984. The years of the animals repeat every 12 years, the years of the elements repeat every 10 years.
When choosing planets during the creation of the eastern calculus, we proceeded from the fact that: the Sun develops the spiritual strength of a person, the Moon develops the physical strength of a person, Jupiter is able to control the fate of people in society, Saturn contributes to the development of intellectual abilities in people.

In the Russian Federation, recently, the Eastern calendar has gained the greatest interest. There is no fixed date for the celebration of the New Year in the East, due to the fact that its beginning depends on the first new moon in the constellation Aquarius.
The Sun enters Aquarius on January 20 or 21 and ends on February 18. Therefore, the New Year according to the Eastern calendar comes from January 20 to February 18.

Elements of the signs of the eastern calendar

The Eastern calendar assumes the presence of 5 elements, each element corresponds to certain colors. The elements change in the following order: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Thus, the cycle is completely repeated after 60 years. You can determine your element and the element of a certain year by the last digit of the year:

"4" or "5" - Tree (green color).
"6" or "7" - Fire (color red).
"8" or "9" - Earth (yellow color).
"0" or "1" - Metal (white color).
"2" or "3" - Water (black color).

Each of the elements slightly changes the animal that personifies the year, giving it a peculiar shade. For example, the Fire Goat - active, active, possessing creative abilities, differs from the Earth Goat - a restrained, dry realist, busy with earthly, practical affairs.

You can use the eastern horoscope to improve mutual understanding with your family, friends and relatives by identifying their signs and elements, which means understanding the deep essence and motives of actions. Animal signs will help determine the prospects of relationships between people (friendly, love or business).

Animal sign of the hour of birth

According to Chinese astrology, the day is divided into 12 periods, each of which corresponds to a certain animal sign. This means that a person born in the hour of any animal will have the features of this sign. Here are the correspondences of birth time to animal signs:

The time of birth can help to find out some other nuances of a person's inherent character traits. It has been noticed, for example, that a Rat born at night is much more bold and agile than one born during the day. The bull shows his famous performance from the early morning, while at night he needs rest. The tiger, hunting down its victims at night, seems to transfer its energy of cruelty to a person of this sign, born in the dark. The morning Rabbit is the most energetic of all, as is the Dragon, and the early evening is most favorable for the Snake. The horse is most active during the day, and the Sheep is most active in the early morning. A monkey born just after dinner is endowed with a truly diabolical cunning, and a Rooster is most significant if born at dawn. Evening Dogs with their devotion stand out even against the background of other Dogs, and the Boar is still sleeping at this time.

Incompatible signs of the Chinese horoscope

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 easy to see that each sign is directly opposite the other sign. These are antagonistic signs, and they are considered absolutely 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 the way they react to the surrounding reality and other people.

The validity of these observations is confirmed, among other things, by the fact that in China, parents, as a rule, do not approve of the marriage of children with people 6 years older or younger. They are well aware that conflicts and insoluble problems will certainly arise in such a union, and therefore, in love, this incompatibility is very dangerous to ignore. Another thing is friendship, which in most cases is not harmed by astrological conflicts, because. friends don't usually live together. In business, however, incompatibility can also get in the way, because completely different people in this case are forced to spend a large amount of time side by side day after 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 intensify.

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 "jen" (heaven, earth and man), which means that the two components of a happy fate - earthly luck and human (the third - heavenly luck) - are in the hands of the person himself.

New Year according to the Eastern calendar
