What a year it is. Horoscope zodiac signs by year, eastern animal calendar

Table of distribution of animals by year for quick search:

Refers to the Chinese millennial calendar and the Feng Shui directions of the compass school. It is known that each year, month and main direction in the Lo Pan compass corresponds to some kind of animal. In any Lo Pan compass, the most important ring is the “24 Mountains” ring, which consists of the hieroglyphs of 12 animals, four trigrams and 8 celestial trunks. Twelve animals are associated with the elements and seasons of the year. For example, the year according to the Chinese calendar begins on February 3-4 with the month of the tiger, the first month of spring.

And although the concept of “century” is introduced in history lessons at school, often not only children, but also adults get confused when it is necessary to correctly determine the beginning and end of this time period.

A little theory

In history, the term “century” usually refers to a period of time lasting 100 years. To understand how to determine what year the 21st century, like any other, began, you need to know one small nuance of the generally accepted chronology. Everyone knows that the time of origin of all events is chronologically divided into two periods: before our era and after. But not everyone knows what date stands at the turn of these two eras.

Have you ever heard of 0 year? Unlikely, because 1 BC. e. ended on December 31, and the next day began a new one, 1 AD. e. That is, 0 year simply did not exist in the generally accepted chronology. Thus, a period of time one century long begins in the year, and ends, accordingly, on December 31, 100. And only the next day, January 1 in the year 101, a new century begins.

Due to the fact that many do not know this seemingly insignificant historical features, for quite a long time there was confusion about when and in what year the 21st century would arrive. Even some TV and radio presenters called for celebrating the New Year 2000 in a special way. After all, this is the beginning of both a new century and a new millennium!

When did the 21st century begin?

Calculating in what year the 21st century began, taking into account all of the above, is not at all difficult.

So, the first day of the 2nd century was January 1, 101, January 3, January 1, 201, January 4, 301, and so on. It's simple. Accordingly, when answering what year the 21st century began, it should be said - in 2001.

When will the 21st century end?

Understanding how the chronology of time is maintained, one can easily say not only what year the 21st century began, but also when it will end.

The end of the century is determined similarly to the beginning: the last day of the 1st century was December 31, 100, 2 - December 31, 200, 3 - December 31, 300, and so on. Finding the answer to the question posed is not so difficult. The last day of the 21st century will be December 31, 2100.

If you want to calculate what year the new millennium starts from, you should follow the same rule. This will avoid mistakes. Thus, the third millennium according to the Gregorian calendar, adopted by the vast majority of world states, began on January 1, 2001, simultaneously with the beginning of the 21st century.

Where did the general misconception come from?

In Russia, the chronology adopted today was introduced. Before that, the count was carried out from the creation of the world. And after the adoption of the Christian chronology, instead of 7209, the year 1700 came. People of the past were also afraid of round dates. Along with the new calendar, a decree was issued on the cheerful and solemn celebration of the new year and the new century.

In addition, we should not forget that with the adoption of Christianity in Russia, it remained Julian. Because of this for everyone historical events Before the transition to the Gregorian calendar (1918), two dates were determined: according to the old and new styles. And due to the different lengths of the year adopted in each of the two types of calendars, a difference of several days appeared. And therefore, in 1918, with the introduction Gregorian calendar After January 31st, February 14th came.

All inhabitants of our planet are accustomed to the fact that each coming year corresponds to a certain sign Eastern calendar. It has long been customary for an admirer of the ruler of the year to present him with all sorts of gifts, and in general, try to please.

Those people who liked the “master” will receive his blessing for whole year. New Year 2017 will be held under the auspices Fire Rooster . This bright bird has a complex character and habits. We will talk about all this below.

Features and characteristics of the Fire Rooster

The rooster is a bird that has a clear voice, bright plumage and exudes cheerfulness. This symbol marks the beginning of something new, because the rooster is one of the first to wake up at dawn and notify people that a new day has arrived.

People born in the year of the Fire Rooster are distinguished by their indestructible willpower. This type of rooster has all the makings of a leader and often uses all these qualities. They make excellent leaders and managers. Nature has endowed such people with a strong, proactive character, thanks to which they do not give up on their plans halfway, but always achieve their goals. Another characteristic characteristic of Roosters is straightforwardness.

They tell a person to his face everything they think about him. Of course, some people don’t like this behavior and stop being friends with the Rooster. That is why representatives of this sign do not have many friends.

Due to the fact that The element of the symbol of 2017 is Fire, they are extremely energetic and purposeful. Their temperament will be the envy of many; it is rare to see a Rooster exhausted or tired. They literally emit waves of energy that are transmitted to those around them.

This sign is valued for hard work, assertiveness and ambition. There is an opinion that such people are not afraid of problems - they are ready to endure and overcome everything.

Roosters are excellent competitors, they are passionate and ready to win at any cost. It is worth noting that the love of victory is manifested not only in professional field, but also in love! Although in love, representatives of this bird show too much selfishness, which prevents them from building normal long-term relationships.

Color, element and compatibility with other signs of the Rooster

As the ancient Chinese believed, each year has its own animal, which corresponds to a certain color and element. If you turn to the Eastern calendar, it becomes clear that 2017 will be the year of the Fire Rooster. From this we can conclude that the favorite color will be Red, and the element, naturally, will be Fire.

The Fire Rooster will become the rightful ruler January 28, and until this moment Fire Monkey will “see out” his last days on his significant “throne”.

The Rooster is extremely incompatible with such signs as the Tiger, Rat, Rabbit and Horse. But with the Ox, Snake and Dragon, long-term friendships and love relationships are possible.

Horoscope for people born in the year of the Fire Rooster

Most people who were lucky enough to be born during the “reign” of the Fire Rooster are too fixated on their appearance, on the impression they make on others. At first glance, they seem to be quite thrifty, but once you have the opportunity to get to know them better, it becomes clear that Roosters are ready to spend a fortune on their wardrobe.

But this should not be taken as waste. No, people of this sign can spend hours wandering around stores, looking for a product with a better price. They know all the dates of sales held in the city. In any case, no matter how much money they spend, they will still get the maximum pleasure from the purchase.

Roosters never follow the lead of a friend or loved one. It’s rare that someone can make him “dance” to his tune. These self-sufficient individuals decide for themselves which side to take and with whom to make friends. Fire Roosters are distinguished by an extremely sharp mind, which helps them build logical conclusions without external pressure.

If the Rooster is left alone and given the right to decide for himself what to do and in what direction to move, they very often achieve heights in life and career. Such people need time to think about everything and build a plan of action. Having received what he wants, the Fire Rooster is able to produce huge amount useful ideas that will be useful not only to him, but also to society.

But there is also reverse side character Petukhov. Under the influence of others, they become lost, begin to worry and lose clarity of thinking. Many problems throw Roosters into a stupor - they can even withdraw into themselves. Representatives of this sign have another unpleasant trait - irrepressible wastefulness, which can worsen in cases where a certain financial height is reached. Therefore, it is necessary to pull them in time and control them. Roosters should be reminded that they need to be pedantic not only in their work, but also when planning their personal budget.

It just so happens that Roosters perceive love as a kind of test that must be passed. They believe that only real feelings are able to overcome all the tricks of fate, grow stronger and develop into strong point. If these people are not confident in their partner, they will easily let him go. Roosters always have enough love affairs and passion in their lives, but they rarely show their emotions and love to their other half.

Most often, the opposite happens - they are loved and admired. However, Roosters are distinguished by their devotion and romanticism. With them you will never feel the ordinariness of gray everyday life, because a developed imagination helps such people arrange sweet and heart-warming surprises. In other words, those born under this star can both stun and conquer with their behavior!

However, there is a danger that wrong choice the partner can completely disappoint the Rooster and deprive him of the ability to love. Then such people often become inveterate bachelors. There is no need to lie and prevaricate in relationships, because a bright bird will not tolerate a lying person around it. If the chosen one is honest with the Rooster, he will soon realize that he has found his soul mate.

What to expect in 2017

In 2017, the Rooster will begin to treat all people on Earth favorably, so many pleasant things can happen in the coming year:

• In career- some people will receive a long-awaited promotion, which they have dreamed of for so long and for which they worked hard.

• Married— the year of the Fire Rooster will please all newlyweds with stability and prosperity, so everyone who wants to create a strong marriage should definitely get married this year.

Warning

Roosters should be wary of letting people near them who can manipulate them. Also, don't get too carried away alcoholic drinks. It’s better to spend time on your health, especially if you’ve had problems with it. Excessive emotionality, selfishness and permissiveness very often prevent Roosters from living happily.

Adhering to all these simple rules, the Roosters will spend 2017 with joy in their hearts, will exude goodness and good mood. And if it’s good for the Roosters, then it’s good for everyone around them.

Despite the fact that our country, Russia, is a primordially Christian country, it is impossible for a Russian to live without any innovations! So in Russia it has already become the norm to associate the holiday New Year with any animal, in accordance with the cycle of the Chinese or as it is also called the Eastern calendar. Many people confuse these very symbols with the symbols according to the horoscope, but this is a completely different topic... You shouldn’t do this! In the Chinese (Oriental) calendar itself there is 12 animals here they are:

(rat-ox-tiger-rabbit-dragon-snake-horse-monkey-rooster-dog-pig)

It’s not for nothing that all fortune tellers and believers in omens begin more and more big things with the waxing moon! So ours, or rather the Eastern New Year, begins every 12th new moon. Actually, the months in the calendar are also tied to the cycles of the moon...

When does the New Year 2020 start according to the Eastern (Chinese) calendar?

In order to determine the new moon number with which the year begins or ends, you need to find the last numbers in one of the cells that would correspond to the year you are interested in.

There are many legends dedicated to the origin of the 12 symbols Chinese horoscope, the most popular of them is about the Jade Emperor. According to legend, the Jade Emperor sent his servant from heaven to earth to bring 12 of the most beautiful animals from earth. The emperor wanted to reward them. The servant went down to the ground and the first animal he saw was a rat. He gave her an invitation to the emperor at 6 o'clock in the morning, and he gave the same invitations to the bull, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster and dog. He also wanted to give the invitation to the cat, but he couldn’t find it anywhere, and since he knew that the rat was the cat’s friend, he gave the invitation to her so that she would give it to the cat.

The rat conveyed the invitation. Having learned that he needed to appear before the emperor by 6 am, the cat, fearing that he might oversleep, asked the rat to wake him up. The rat agreed, but considering that she could not compare with the cat’s beauty, and that she would look miserable compared to the cat, she decided not to wake him up in the morning. As a result, the cat slept through. And the rat appeared before everyone else and was the first to receive the honor of being one of the representatives of 12 cyclically repeating years. They came for her: a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster and a dog, who were also awarded to become representatives of the zodiac signs.

But since the cat did not appear, there were only 11 animals. The Jade Emperor again ordered the servant to appear on earth and bring another animal. The first person the servant met was a pig. He brought her in and she became the 12th animal nominated for the award. The cat, waking up, immediately rushed to the emperor, but it was too late. The cat got very angry and attacked the rat. Since then, the cat and the rat have been at odds.
