Astrological calendar by year. Twelve Animals of the Year

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 New Year holiday with some 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:

And everything would be clear and simple if the cycle of these same 12 animals was repeated over and over again. But the Chinese were not so simple. We often notice something similar about them... In addition to animals, they also have 5 natural elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, water.

Now about the concrete, about dates and numbers. As we said, it is necessary to pay attention not only to animals - the symbol of the year, but also to the elements. After all, it is the animal and the elements taken together that will determine what the coming New Year will be like.

So, to find out when and what year according to the Chinese (Eastern) calendar will be, when it starts, how long it will last and when it will end, let’s turn to the table.

In addition, in the table you can also find what color the element will be in the next New Year.

However, knowing the year does not mean knowing the number from which it will begin! Here, the beginning of the year in the Chinese calendar is tied to the new moon, that is, when the moon begins to grow! 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 2019 begin 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.
For example, the New Year 2019 according to the Chinese calendar, according to the table, will begin on February 5, 2019, and will last until January 25, 2020. As you can see, everything is simple!

Eastern (Chinese) animal calendar by year

The Eastern (Chinese) horoscope originated more than 4000 years ago. According to one legend, when leaving Earth for Nirvana, Buddha commanded the earth's animals to appear for farewell and final instructions.

Eastern calendar years

12 animals appeared before the deity and, as a reward, received one year of control on earth, during which they can influence the destinies of people.

All animals of the eastern horoscope are usually divided into 4 triads:

1. Monkey, Dragon and Rat. They are united by enterprise and tirelessness. They also often go to extremes.

2. Rooster, Snake and Bull. These signs are very hardworking and are completely devoted to their favorite work. In addition, they carefully plan all their actions and thanks to this they achieve success.

3. Dog, Horse and Tiger. These animals are distinguished by their sociability and ability to persuade. They have many friends and acquaintances, they easily establish contacts and know how to carry on any conversation with ease.

4. Goat, Pig and Rabbit (Cat). What these signs have in common is the presence of creative abilities, well-developed intuition, as well as fine internal organization. As a rule, they have ideal manners and strive for a beautiful life.

Therefore, each of the signs in the eastern calendar has its own element, which suppresses or, on the contrary, enhances the features of the animal, which also affects what the year will be like.

The color of the elements also plays an important role:

• white for Metal;
• red or pink for Fire;
• lemon, yellow or ocher for Earth;
• black or blue for Water;
• blue or green for Tree.

That is a full cycle according to the eastern calendar is 60 years.

What year is it in China now?

In China, the calendar is not just a way of calculating time in the year, but a sacred document with a thousand-year history.

The chronology that is now in use in most Asian countries was formed during the period when the well-known emperor named Huang Di, who ruled from 2692 to 2592 BC, was on the throne.

The cycle of this calendar is 60 years and originates from the astronomical cycles of the Moon, Earth, Sun, Saturn and Jupiter.

The cycle of Jupiter has always been considered the most significant, therefore, dividing it into 12 segments, the astronomy department compiled a solar-Jupiter calendar cycle consisting of 12 years.

Each of the years of this cycle received its name from the patronizing animal, the element and its color.

The beginning of the current cycle falls on February 2, 1984 (4693 in China), that is, when all of Europe stepped into 2017, China celebrated the advent of 4715.

When is New Year according to the Eastern (Chinese) calendar?

The new moon before or after the winter solstice has long been considered the beginning of the year.

However, from the end of the second century BC. There was a practice of determining the boundaries of the year so that the solstice always corresponded to the 11th month. This calculation is used in the east to the present day and the beginning of the new year always falls on the period from January 21 to February 20.

Although the beginning of an era always coincided with the accession of a new emperor to the throne, a ruler could also declare the beginning of a new era during his reign.

It was believed that this must be done when the connection between the earth and the sky is disrupted. This order of things remained until the 1911 revolution.

What year is it now in Thailand and what date is Thai New Year

The Thai chronology, similar to the Chinese one, differs from the European one we are used to.

Here the countdown is carried out not according to the Gregorian calendar, but according to the Buddhist calendar - from 543 BC, when Buddha went into nirvana. Consequently, according to the Thai calendar, it is not 2017, but 2560.

The New Year in Thailand also begins according to the Buddhist calendar and falls on April 13-14. This holiday is called Songkran. Until the very middle of the 20th century, it was on this day that the new year began.

And only on December 24, 1940, a decree was issued, according to which the change of year began on January 1.

Currently, Thailand celebrates the New Year three times:

1. January 1 - as is customary throughout the world.
2. Late January – early February (Chinese New Year).
3. April 13-14 – Songkran holiday.

The Eastern calendar of years differs significantly from the European one. Chinese, Buddhist and other calendars of Asian countries are much more ancient than the Gregorian and, unlike the latter, are sacred in nature.

In addition, they are directly related to astronomy and astrology, which makes them even more mysterious and mystical.

Which sign is better not to build a personal relationship with:

The first mentions of the Eastern horoscope were four thousand years ago. The Chinese or Eastern horoscope by year of birth will help you understand your individuality and get to know yourself, revealing previously unknown talents and opportunities. As Chinese wisdom says, “A person who knows himself can control his Destiny independently, attracting good luck, success, and prosperity into his life.” According to an ancient Eastern legend, which tells that Buddha, leaving this world, called all the animals to say 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 destinies. 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 new eastern year is counted 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 the 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.

The Eastern or Chinese calendar consists of five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal and water) and 12 animals (rat, bull, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig). The full cycle of such a calendar is 60 years. The current cycle began in 1984 - the year of the wood rat.

Let's figure it out: Why does each year in the Chinese calendar correspond to a certain animal? Why exactly twelve of them? And why are they arranged in this order?
There are several legends about this:
Legend one
The first legend is about how the Jade Emperor - the supreme deity of the Taoist pantheon, the lord of heaven - chose twelve animals, each of which rules a year once every twelve years.
The Jade Emperor ruled the sky and everything that was in the heavens. And he never went down to earth, so he was interested in the appearance of all creatures living on earth. One day the emperor summoned his chief adviser.
“I have ruled the heavens for a long time,” the emperor said to the adviser, “but I have never seen these strange animals and I don’t know what they look like.” I would like to know their characteristic features and properties. I would like to see how they move and hear the sounds they make. How smart are they and how do they help people?

The eastern calendar, based on 12 animals, was invented by the ancient Chinese. It arose three thousand years ago, long before the advent of European astrology. But only quite recently in the Western world has it become popular to determine the character and destiny of a person by the year in which he was born. The eastern horoscope has seriously competed with the zodiac system, which is built on the cyclical monthly dominance of signs.

Tiger and Rabbit

When the chimes strike, we all expect a happy, joyful, new life. The year according to the Eastern calendar does not have a fixed beginning. Therefore, people who were born in January and February should take this into account if they want to determine their year of birth.

People born during the “striped” year according to the eastern calendar are courageous and purposeful. Tigers are noble individuals, leaders and patriots. The main thing for them is freedom, honor and the fight for justice.

Rabbits are hard workers. They are realists with a sober mind and calculation. They go through life quietly but confidently.

Dragon and Snake

If the foundation of the zodiac horoscope is the movements and trajectories of the stars, planets and the Sun, then the yearly calendar of the eastern horoscope is based on the phases of the moon.

Those who were lucky enough to be born during the “dragon” year according to the eastern calendar are influential, successful, and easy-going. They are the darlings of fate, often achieving all their goals.

Snakes are real thinkers with developed logic, versatile talents and subtle intuition. They are ambitious from birth, have the gift of magnetism and suggestion. They easily read information from people.

Horse and Goat

Twelve-year cycles form the horoscope. January or February marks the beginning of each year according to the Eastern calendar. The table below shows the reigns of the Horse and the Goat. Even though both are classified as pets, they are very different.

Horses are talented, smart, and know their worth. They do not depend on the opinions of others and always act at their own discretion. Self-sufficient and strong natures.

Goats love to travel. But after each distant foray, they invariably return to their homeland, as they value home. They have a superficial attitude towards life, do not like problems, and can be ambivalent and capricious.

Monkey and Rooster

The Chinese emperor did not trust the development of a horoscope to astrologers, so he solely controlled the cycles: the beginning and end of each year according to the eastern calendar, the process of compiling and deciphering them.

Monkeys are selfish and treacherous. They have an analytical mind and developed logic. Eccentric and temperamental, but at the same time the most unreliable and superficial people.

Roosters are terrible conservatives. They work a lot and hard to provide for themselves and their families. Active individuals who rely only on their own strength.

Dog and Pig

The ruler of the Celestial Empire solemnly announced which year according to the eastern calendar came into its own. People celebrated this event for several days, had fun and relaxed.

Dogs are always straightforward, smart, and intelligent. They are deep and sensitive natures, often ironic. Hardworking philosophers. Pessimists who hate crowds and mass gatherings.

Pigs are decent people. Avoid conflicts. They have many talents. They always know what they want and confidently go towards the goal. Noble and realistic. They will always have money and work.

Rat and Ox

In China, even a marriage cannot be concluded until the parents tell each other the newlyweds’ birth dates, especially what year they are according to the Eastern calendar. The table below is the last in our calculation of cyclic periods.

Rats are pedants. They are careful in life and attentive to all the little things. They are difficult to break. Excellent business partners. Smart. They sense impending troubles, so they easily avoid them.

Those born during the “horned” year according to the eastern calendar are hardy and strong people. Bulls are laconic and have amazing energy. Too down to earth. They always go ahead towards their dreams.

2015, 2016, 2017

The eastern animal calendar by year suggests that the blue wooden Goat now dominates. Based on this, we can say that 2015 is a calm and balanced year. No sharp ups and downs are expected, but if you decide to start a new business, you will definitely receive the desired support. The goat is good-natured, so it always lends a helping hand.

You will constantly solve important issues, eliminate problems and develop new opportunities. Those who are lucky enough to be born during this period will have the gift of persuasion and will be able to achieve success in any activity.

The economic crisis will pass, it will be possible to invest money in real estate. This is a good start to family life, harmonious and new.

Money flows like a river, but this is the last stage of possible material wealth, after which a long period of poverty and loss is expected. Born children are hard and tough. They know what they want and take full advantage of life. They will be able to prove themselves in show business, journalism, and any creative profession.
