Who was 13 years old? Eastern horoscope of zodiac signs by year of birth

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

Myths and legends

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

Astronomical data

It’s 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 animal calendar by year includes a periodicity of 12 years. This is how long it takes Jupiter to complete a full revolution around the Sun. And if you consider that in ancient times the nomadic peoples inhabiting the current territories of the East Asian region revered Jupiter as their patron and endowed him with mystical properties, then it is clear why the eastern animal calendar is designed for 12 years. The Chinese were the first to think of it. This was almost 4 thousand years ago. And now this calendar is the main one not only in the Middle Kingdom, 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 as symbols of the year in the Old and New Worlds. And in Russia too!

Star Zoo

Let's list those lucky ones whom Buddha noted with his special favor. It is known that the animals did not resort to him 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. Next, in order, are the Tiger, Rabbit (or Hare) and Dragon, Snake and Horse. The last animal, by the way, is a symbol of the passing year, and we can hear the rhythmic clatter of its hooves for several more days. And the Horse, a restless worker with a noble but restive character, is being replaced by the melancholy, sometimes loving to stick out its horns and buck, but in general a peace-loving domestic Goat. Zodiac signs 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. Next come the 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 basic natural elements and elements. These are Fire, Wood, Earth, Water, Metal. Each has a specific symbolic meaning. A tree is the personification of the East itself, the place from which the sun rises, the beginning of life, spring, youth, flowering, emergence, and the origin 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 revelation of one’s own potentials in different spheres of existence, the growth of well-being and abundance. It is also associated with fame and self-realization. Thus, Fire is the manifestation of the most powerful and brightest flowering, the culmination of something.

Philosophy of the East

The table of the eastern calendar will be incomplete without the element of Earth - central to the eastern philosophical system. In the cosmic spheres, its correspondence is the North Star, the prototype of earthly imperial power. Consequently, the earthly 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 of maturity of human life. Metal is reliability, strength, fairness, hardness. The element is associated with the Sun, just setting, and is associated with the West - sunset. Metaphorically, it denotes the decline of human life, wise contemplation, “the time to gather stones” and reap the harvest. And water, flowing and changeable, is considered the most incomprehensible and mysterious by Eastern sages. It is connected with the North, old age and its inherent wisdom, rejection of false illusions, and peace.

Koza-Dereza

But let us return to the present day, to our pressing affairs. The coming year, according to the eastern calendar, is the year of the Goat. What interesting things can you learn about him from his astrological characteristics? In the 21st century, we will meet the “bearded beauty” for the second time - the first occurred in 2003. In Russian folklore, a goat is a rather capricious and crafty animal. It’s hard to please her, Dereza is so good at mischief, that’s why she’s beaten and her sides are ragged. At the same time, a goat is a nurse, a kind, unpretentious, very clean animal, its milk is healthier and more valuable than cow's. In the East, especially among the poor, Dereza was highly valued. But the attitude towards goats was somewhat different: they are 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 characteristic of the Year of the Goat according to the eastern calendar? If we take into account the fact that goats love affection very much and respond to it with pleasure, then from the years whose totem it is, one should also expect calmness, goodwill, peace and wise resolution of many global and minor conflicts. Calmness and stability, without sudden leaps and changes, should please everyone who is tired of crises and changes and is a supporter of eternal values. Therefore, if you treat others with sincere friendliness and cordiality, the support of the Goat-Dereza is guaranteed to you! The ruler of the cosmic mysteries in 2015 will be Jupiter - the 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 hopes for positive changes in their lives with the “year of Jupiter”.

Pastoral with sheep

According to the eastern calendar, the Sheep shares the New Year's throne with the Goat. The inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun chose her as a totem. Sheep, as we know, are extremely peaceful and sweet animals. Some people think they are stupid, it’s true, but in Christian mythology Christ himself was compared to a lamb - a meek and defenseless lamb. Nature, indeed, did not make sure that the sheep could stand up for themselves - they have neither strong hooves, nor sharp horns, nor fierce fangs. That's why they are so dependent on humans. 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 tranquility.

"Horned" varieties

It is not for nothing that we noted the connection of the Chinese calendar not only with the animal world, but also with natural elements and elements. Indeed, in accordance with them, each totem resides in one form or another. Thus, the past years of 1931 and 1991 and the coming 2051 decades later belong 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 a few days later - in 2015, and then nod its horns welcomingly in 2075. The reign of the Fire Goat occurred in 1907 and 1967, then will begin in 2027. And finally, the Earth Goat greeted the world with its “mecking” in 1919 and 1979, and we will hear it again in 2051. Happy new year friends? Yes, Happy New Year!

Often, on the eve of the New Year, we are interested in which animal’s year is coming according to the eastern calendar. The tradition of naming the year after an animal came to us from China. The order of the 12 animals of the zodiac Chinese calendar 中国十二生肖 is as follows: rat 鼠, ox 牛, tiger 虎, rabbit 兔, dragon 龙, snake 蛇, horse 马, sheep 羊, monkey 猴, rooster 鸡, dog狗 and pig 猪.

According to the Chinese horoscope, there are 5 main elements: metal, water, wood, fire, earth. Each element has its own color: metal - white, water - blue, wood - green, fire - red, earth - yellow. According to this, 2012 is the year of the blue dragon, and 2013 is the year of the blue snake.

There are many legends dedicated to the origin of the 12 symbols of the Chinese horoscope, the most popular of which 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.

| Eastern calendar

Eastern (Chinese) calendar of zodiac signs.

The Eastern calendar, which has been in effect for several thousand years in Vietnam, Kampuchea, China, Korea, Mongolia, Japan and some other Asian countries, was compiled during the time of the semi-legendary Emperor Huang Di in the middle of the third millennium BC. The Eastern calendar is a 60-year cyclical system. It is based on the astronomical cycles of the Sun, Earth, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. The 60-year cycle includes the 12-year Jupiter and 30-year Saturn cycles. The 12-year period of Jupiter was considered the most important for the life of nomads, and in those days the main peoples of the East were nomadic tribes. The ancient Chinese and Japanese believed that the normal motion of Jupiter brought benefits and virtues.

By dividing the path of Jupiter into twelve equal parts and giving each part the name of a specific animal, the peoples of Asia created a solar-Jupiter 12-year calendar cycle. Legend has it that all the animals were invited by Buddha to celebrate the first New Year. Buddha promised to give the animals a whole year, which would be named after them. Only 12 animals came to Buddha's invitation - a rat, a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster, and a dog. The last one to come to meet Buddha was the pig.

According to another legend, Buddha called animals before leaving the earth. A rat, a bull, a tiger, a rabbit, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a rooster, a dog and a pig came to say goodbye to Buddha. The grateful Buddha gave these 12 animals one year of reign each.

The eastern calendar begins with the year of the rat and ends with the year of the pig. In the East, it is widely believed that these animals have the ability to impart certain traits to the one born in this year of the animal, both good and bad.

In sixty years, Jupiter makes five revolutions. This number corresponded to the worldview of Chinese natural philosophy. The number five was a symbol of the five elements of nature - wood, fire, metal (gold), water, earth, which correspond to color designations (blue, red, yellow, white, black).
The Chinese sexagenary was formed as a result of the combination of the duodecimal cycle (“earthly branches”), each year of which was assigned the name of an animal, and the decimal cycle of the “elements” (“heavenly branches”): five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) , each of which corresponded to two cyclic signs, personifying the masculine and feminine principles (therefore, in the Chinese calendar there are consecutive years corresponding to different animals, but one element).

12 animals, 5 elements - hence the cycle of the eastern calendar is 60 years. This cycle begins with the year of the Wood Rat and ends with the year of the Water Pig. The next 60-year cycle of the eastern calendar began on February 2, 1984. Animal years repeat once every 12 years, and elemental years repeat every 10 years.
The choice of these planets when creating the eastern calendar is explained by the fact that the Sun influences the development of the human spirit, the Moon influences the physical development of the body, Jupiter controls the behavior of people in public life, and the planet Saturn shapes the individual characteristics of a person.

Recently, the eastern calendar has become increasingly popular in Russia. The Eastern New Year does not have a fixed date. The New Year according to the eastern calendar begins on the first new moon, which occurs in the zodiac sign Aquarius. The Sun enters the sign of Aquarius on January 20 or 21 and ends on February 18. Therefore, the New Year according to the eastern calendar begins from January 20 to February 18, at which time one fabulous animal passes the reins to another.

Eastern calendar signs.

Years of the animal according to the eastern calendar.

In Eastern countries, it is very common in which years are combined into twelve-year cycles, just as in the Western horoscope the year is divided into twelve zodiac constellations. Every year in the eastern calendar is named after an animal. People born this year are assigned the qualities inherent in this animal, according to life observations and Eastern mythology.
Every twelve years the cycle repeats and the animal returns, but it is not exactly the same animal, because in the full circle of the eastern horoscope there are five different Rats, Bulls, Tigers, etc. The animal remains, but it changes.

Elements of the signs of the eastern calendar.

The eastern calendar assumes the presence of certain colors corresponding to each element. The elements change in the following order: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Thus, the cycle repeats itself completely after 60 years.
You can determine your element by the last digit of your year of birth:

“4” or “5” - Wood (color green, blue)
“6” or “7” - Fire (color red, pink)
“8” or “9” - Earth (color yellow, lemon, ocher)
“0” or “1” - Metal (white)
“2” or “3” - Water (color black, blue)

Each of the elements slightly changes the animal representing the year, giving it a unique shade. For example, the Fire Goat - active, active, with creative abilities, differs from the Earth Goat - a reserved, dry realist, busy with earthly, practical matters.
You can use the eastern horoscope to improve mutual understanding with your family, loved ones and friends by identifying their signs and elements, and therefore understanding the deep essence and motives of actions. Animal signs will help determine the prospects of relationships between people (friendships, love or business).
It’s better to start with the general characteristics of the animal sign.
Even more accurate data can be obtained by determining the animal sign of the hour of birth. According to Chinese astrology, the day is divided into 12 periods, each of which corresponds to a specific animal sign. This means that a person born in the hour of any animal will have the traits of this sign. Here are the correspondences between birth times and animal signs:

23.00 - 01.00 - Rat time
01.00 - 03.00 - Ox time
03.00 - 05.00 - Tiger time
05.00 - 07.00 - Rabbit time
07.00 - 09.00 - Dragon time
09.00 - 11.00 - Snake time
11.00 - 13.00 - Horse time
13.00 - 15.00 - Sheep time
15.00 - 17.00 - Monkey time
17.00 - 19.00 - Rooster time
19.00 - 21.00 - Dog time
21.00 - 23.00 - Boar time

Eastern calendar signs.

Chinese astrologers divide all animal signs into four groups (three in each). It is generally accepted that people born under the same group of signs have similar characteristics that determine the way they think, which ultimately allows them to get along well with each other, support each other and get along together. This does not mean at all that they have the same character or actions, it’s just that the innate characteristics of their personalities successfully complement each other and contribute to revealing the best sides of other people from the same group. It has been noticed that partnerships, friendships and especially marriages between those born under the signs of the same group are the most successful.

Competitors- , And . All these signs are very keen on competition and decisive action. Rats need the Dragon's self-confidence and courage, because... extremely unsure of themselves. In turn, the Dragon can be too direct and sometimes simply needs the ingenuity of the Rat or even the cunning of the Monkey. The latter highly value the intelligence of the Rat and the enthusiasm of the Dragon.
Intellectuals- , And . People belonging to these signs are great pragmatists, strong personalities, often endowed with great abilities, self-confident, purposeful and decisive. Among them are thinkers and seers. The Ox is constant and firm, but he is favorably influenced by the brightness of the Rooster and the charm and dexterity of the Snake. The directness of the Rooster is balanced by the diplomatic Snake or the self-confident Bull, and the Snake, with all its ambition, can reach great heights if it is assisted by the Bull or the Rooster.
Independent- , And . These people are emotional, impulsive, restless and extremely principled - a kind of "free spirits" of the Chinese zodiac. The Horse is a born strategist, but to make anything a reality it needs a decisive Dog or an impulsive Tiger. He can also give vent to the Horse’s restlessness, while only the Dog can calm it down. The Tiger will also benefit from communicating with the Dog - her constant good nature will keep him from being excessively cruel.
Diplomats- (Cat), and . People of these signs are reserved, simple-minded, not great intellectuals, and are not attracted to risk. But they are modest and responsive, sociable and sensitive, tenderly care for each other and are always happy to do something nice. The Rabbit's insight balances the Sheep's generosity, and the latter needs the sense of priorities that the Rabbit gives her. The power of the Pig complements the forgiving nature of the Sheep and the strategic thinking of the Rabbit.

The signs of the eastern calendar are often depicted in a circle in a certain order, sometimes compass directions are marked on it. Looking at such a circle, it is not difficult to notice that each sign is directly opposite the other sign. These are antagonistic signs, and they are considered completely incompatible! There are six such pairs, and within each pair an astrological conflict invariably develops. The causes of these conflicts lie deep in the nature of people born under opposite signs; they are involuntary and manifest themselves mainly in how they react to the surrounding reality and other people. These are the pairs:

The validity of these observations is also confirmed by the fact that in China, parents, as a rule, do not approve of children marrying people 6 years older or younger. They are well aware that in such a union conflicts and insoluble problems will certainly arise, and therefore in love it is very dangerous to ignore this incompatibility. Another thing is friendship, which in most cases is not harmed by astrological conflicts, because friends usually don't live together. In business, however, incompatibility can also be a hindrance, because in this case completely different people are forced to spend a large amount of time side by side every day.
Do not despair if the results of the analysis of relationships according to the eastern horoscope are disappointing; pay attention to the signs and elements corresponding to the month and hour of birth, because under their influence, the characteristic features of a person’s personality can both weaken and strengthen.
In China they say that if the fate destined for a person from above cannot be changed, then his lot can be improved. They believe in the unity of "tian", "ti" and "zhen" (heaven, earth and man), meaning that the two components of a happy fate - earthly luck and human (the third is heavenly luck) - are in the hands of the person himself.

Many people attach great importance to various kinds of esoteric and magical practices.

A person dreams of getting rid of personal worries associated with certain traits of his character.

He looks into the next day, trying to determine exactly what will happen next.

A table of the eastern animal calendar by year can help with this.

Theories of the origin of the calendar

First of all, we should consider what the annual animal calendar of the Far East is. Its origin explains a huge number of different tales, scientific theories, myths and ancient legends. Two of them stand out among others as being the most common.

Divine Exodus

One fine day, the great God invited all the creatures that roamed the earth to his abode. The same twelve creatures that appeared before him received an unexpected wonderful reward. The animals were given the opportunity to maintain power over the fate of all states and nationalities until the twelve years allotted to them expired. Thus, an annual calendar was born, in which for each twelve months its dominant animal during this period was determined.

Astronomical variations

Now it is very difficult to determine how everything really happened. What is reliably known is that such a calendar was based on the cycles of astronomical time from the two main cosmic bodies for planet Earth. These are the lunar and solar circulation cycles. In addition to these two giants, astronomical data concerning the planets Jupiter and Saturn are taken into account.

The periodicity of the animal calendar is divided into 12 full years. After this period, the cycle begins to repeat from the very beginning. It was decided to take this particular period of time as a basis because such a period is used by the planet Jupiter in order to completely complete one revolution around the Sun. You can determine what year it is according to the Chinese calendar if you check with knowledgeable people about the sign of the previous year. All of them have been going on in the same sequence for centuries.

Main aspects of the issue

In ancient times, nomads who inhabited the territory of the eastern regions and provinces of Asia Minor considered Jupiter their patron and true patron. The planet was endowed with mystical and metaphysical properties. This is also where the rationale for such a division of a period of time comes from.

The animal calendar got its start from the Chinese.. This event happened approximately 5 millennia ago.

Currently, the animal horoscope is considered one of the main and most revered not only in China, but also in many other countries.

Thus, in South and North Korea, Mongolia and Thailand, this ancient, wise tradition of beliefs is extremely revered.

An interesting fact is that the actual use of the signs of the Zodiac, in accordance with the Eastern type of calendar, as symbols of a particular year, is recognized without any encroachment among both the beliefs of the Old and New Worlds. A similar idea also extends to countries of Slavic origin.

Starry Menagerie

So, it’s worth immediately outlining the circle of those animals that the great Buddha honored with the honor of being marked by God’s favor. Their alternate replacement is determined by the fact that each animal arrived at the threshold of the deity’s abode in a certain order. The New Year starts from the time when the second full moon, which comes after the winter one, has passed. The Russian people call such an event the solstice.

So, the list of twelve sacred animals:

All these real and mythological creatures were not chosen by the ancient sages by chance.

Corresponding to the information of one of the ancient legends, the presented animals are not only a manifestation of divine grace, but are also the face of various natural elements.

Elements and zodiac signs

Many astrologers often mention that all the symbols of the eastern calendar are not ultimately reduced to just animals. They also include many natural elements and biological manifestations of the elements.

Their main list is quite small:

1. Powers of fire.
2. Water.
3. Trees.
4. Earth.
5. Metal.

Each of them has long been assigned its own magical meaning of the symbol.

Tree and Fire are characteristic symbols of the entire East. It is also worth mentioning that the dragon is considered the main symbol of good luck among the Chinese. His figurines are usually depicted on the eastern side of a temple complex or house.

A tree is the place where the morning begins - where the sun rises. A symbolic combination - thoughts about spring, youth, the flowering of young plants, the origin of all life processes.

The symbol of fire is combined with the southern side of the world.

Many sages associate this element with the date of the summer solstice.

In a metaphorical sense, the power of fire is often equivalent to such a process as progress, prosperity in business, the revelation of potential that was languishing within, increased well-being, and abundance. Some also attribute fame and the possibility of self-realization to the elements.

That is why Fire represents the culmination of any process, the boiling point, the moment of highest flowering.

It also occupies a very important place in the hierarchy of the forces of nature for the eastern population.

The cosmic body that is brought into correspondence with the Earth is considered to be the North Star. It has long been considered an exact prototype of the power of the emperor on Earth.

From here we can draw a conclusion about the characteristic features that the element of Earth represents: bringing everything to one order, managing complex life situations, worthy resistance to antagonistic forces. The philosophers of ancient Kyi associated the symbolism of the Tree with the arrival of spring. Earth is the hottest time of summer, its middle. This is the time when most vegetables and fruits ripen. In the projection onto the human life path, the earth will belong to a more mature, experienced period.

Then follows the element of Metal. He personifies all manifestations of reliability, strength of character and spirit, justice, firmness and immutability. The associative parallel here is drawn with the sunset. In general, it is this element that is more strongly intertwined with this celestial body in its symbolism than all others. In a metaphorical sense, metal means the time of sunset of a person’s life, contemplation, overflowing with the wisdom of past years. This is the time set aside for the harvest, the hour to reap the fruits of one's labor.

Water. Fluid, highly changeable substance. It is considered one of the most incomprehensible and very mysterious manifestations of the elements. Eastern sages treat water with reverence and fear; it is given many honors. The element is closely connected with the northern direction, the time of the winter solstice. In human history, water is old age, wisdom, rejection of false ideas about life and deceptive illusions. Paradoxically, water is very often taken as a symbol of inner peace.

Couples in love rarely use the year calculation according to the Eastern calendar. The compatibility table is taken based on the zodiac signs to which your chosen one belongs. But it is worth paying attention to the characteristics of the element in which your loved one was born. They are the ones who will tell you whether you are compatible with him or not.

Animal calendar in years

The Chinese calendar is a lunar timekeeping system, which is based on the isoteric characteristics of various representatives of the animal world. Each New Year corresponds to a specific animal. It is also one of the twelve symbols of the Chinese zodiac signs. In accordance with their order, it is built table of the eastern animal calendar by year.

It is worth paying attention and respect to old traditions.

Honor them and not go against world astrological principles. This behavior, combined with hard work, will ensure you reliable prosperity and longevity throughout the years.
