The year of the metal rabbit is coming! White Metal Rabbit - Cat Born in the year of the white rabbit.

On February 3, in countries that count time according to the solar-lunar calendar, the celebration of the beginning of the lunar new year - the Year of the Metal Rabbit - will begin.

Well, the beginning of the predictive year, according to which all eastern horoscopes are built, begins on February 4, 2011 at 06.45 Moscow time.

Against the background of the events of 2010, which was very dynamic, unpredictable and somewhat conflicting, this year we can expect that passions will subside a little. If the conflict of the Elements of the year of the Metal Tiger can be compared to a powerful sword chopping a huge strong tree, then this year the sword will be replaced by a small penknife.

It would seem that this is a good sign: the power of a knife is not as destructive as the power of a sharp sword. But the fact is that the symbol of this year is no longer a powerful, strong tree. It will be replaced by a small, delicate flower that can be easily handled by a penknife. Therefore, some trends of last year will continue: this is a year of growth and change, and in some areas of life as sharp and unexpected as in the year of the Tiger.

However, it should be noted that for the most part, any changes, both in the life of each individual person and in the life of large human communities, will be useful. After all, a small knife is used not only to cut a living flower, but also to create something beautiful from wood, remove a tumor, cut a mushroom for a delicious soup :)

If last year the main events in the life of each person and communities of people were more related to the external (social relations, intrigues in politics, at work, the desire to gain authority and power, to earn money at any cost), then this year will force you to pay attention to the internal. The topic of finance will still be relevant, but less significant than in the year of the Tiger. That is, personal relationships, family, your own inner world and a comfortable state of mind will require more attention. Moreover, this will not be a need caused by external circumstances, but an internal need, a desire - to take care of your family, your inner world, and establishing good relationships.

Fortunately, the trends of the year are such that harmony is possible both internally and externally: in the family and at work, and within any social group and in external interactions with other groups.

The year will provide the opportunity to live a full life, without depriving any aspect of our life. However, this year there will be times when it seems that everything is going wrong. The period at the very beginning of the year, in February and March, will be especially acute.

Difficulties and confrontations can arise among partners and companions of any kind. Moreover, no one will dare to fight openly anymore. If last year everyone confidently cut from the shoulder, without thinking much about the consequences of their actions, then this year, before deciding to take any serious steps, everyone will very carefully think through each step, consider different options for the outcome of events, and take insurance.

In general, the owner of the year, Rabbit, is very fond of peace and harmony. He cannot stand conflict situations or dangers and knows how to avoid and smooth them out. But if we analyze the internal hidden indicators of this year, we will see that Rabbit 2011 is a great revolutionary and reformer, very similar to his brother, the owner of the outgoing year, the Metal Tiger. Only he does his business not in one swift leap, like the Tiger, but by carefully thinking through his every step and showing an amazing ability to find the keys to the most complex issues and establish relationships with the most unyielding people.

If someone decides in 2011 to redistribute spheres of influence and roles, then this process will be soft, unobtrusive, hidden.

Let us repeat that, for the most part, the changes will be favorable for the majority of horoscope representatives if you think through your every step well and set noble goals and objectives.

Therefore, the dynamics of last year will not go away, but less stressful times will come. The desire and ability to radically change and remake your life will remain, but the tactics of change will change. And the areas of life that people will begin to pay attention to will change somewhat.

It should be noted that this year is very favorable for undertakings of any kind, as well as for the continuation of what was started last year and the year before. Unstoppable energy of growth and development is characteristic of this year. This is not a time of ideas and making plans, as in the year of the Rat, not a time of build-up and preparation, laying the foundation, as in the year of the Ox, not a time of fundamental reforms, as in the year of the Tiger - this is a time of the most rapid development and growth.

Therefore, you should not miss such opportunities if you do not want to stagnate, but move forward.

The path will not always be smooth for all signs, but in the end you can get extraordinary results from almost any activity.

Many representatives of the Chinese horoscope may have a seething of passions and emotions in their personal lives.

Most likely, the desire for new sensations and activity in relationships with the opposite sex will provoke a lot of betrayal. And after this - divorces and separations. Changes in your personal life will be the norm in the coming year. Therefore, be very careful in your new connections and contacts if you want to maintain your long-standing relationship. This year your partners will be as unpredictable as they were in the Year of the Tiger, but you will never guess what is on their mind.

But the need to change your life will not be caused simply by a desire to have fun. The understanding that old connections do not satisfy and do not provide the opportunity to feel happy will push many to look for new relationships.

The likelihood that the relationship with the new partner will work out well is quite high. The Year of the Rabbit favors the creation of new families and good relationships and will therefore help create very harmonious unions. But this will be preceded by long torment and torment caused by the need to make a choice. It will be difficult to decide to leave the old and rush into the arms of the new. These will not always be sharp leaps from one life to another - often changes in personal life will be accompanied by a long and painful weighing of what to prefer.

Many people will be faced with a very serious choice this year. This can affect all areas of life, not just personal. Friend or enemy, wife or lover, new business or old place of work, forgiveness or punishment? Many people will have similar questions this year. In moments of the most painful doubts, do not be afraid to seek advice from a loved one or an authoritative person; this is appropriate in the year of the Rabbit.

And don’t rush, don’t rush. Decisiveness and impulsiveness should be left behind last year, including in matters of personal life. This year’s motto should be the proverb: “Measure twice, cut once!” This is the only way to achieve success, feel satisfied with yourself and your life, and not lose what is really dear to you.

However, if someone wants to break off the relationship, this break should not leave serious emotional wounds in the soul of the abandoned person. Most breakups will be gentle and, so to speak, caring. The rabbit cannot stand mental suffering and care for the weak and offended. As a result, everyone will be fed and healthy, and many will understand that everything that is done is for the better. Moreover, the chance of meeting a person suitable for a serious relationship is very high for most horoscope signs.

This year, many will encounter what is commonly called magic, esotericism, and unconventional resources. Someone himself will feel a suddenly revealed gift of foresight, a connection with the General Information Field of the Earth or his Guardian Angel, and someone will be forced to turn to people with such abilities for help. In any case, a leap in consciousness associated with understanding the connection between the physical world and the intangible world is inevitable.

And this area of life needs to be given due attention, as this will help avoid possible mistakes and complications in life.

In general, the desire to develop and improve oneself this year will become an internal need for almost everyone without exception. This will be caused by the desire to balance your state of mind and feel confident and comfortable. Many will understand that this can be achieved not only by directing all their efforts to making money and satisfying their own ambitions, but by having a strong family, good partnerships and internal harmony.

Goals and strategies such as money and success at any cost will no longer be a priority and will remain a thing of the past year. A decisive and brutal, self-confident boxer in a bright leather jacket, driving a luxurious sports car, will be replaced by a modest, intelligent, charming, balanced, strong-willed person, possessing secret knowledge and sciences, who knows how to conquer with his eyes and words.

These two have the same strength, but the Rabbit has much more opportunities to achieve his goals. If in the year of the Tiger there are half winners and half losers, then in the year of the Rabbit the percentage of winners will be much higher if you choose the right tactics and strategy for moving forward.

In general, in general, this year will give more reasons for joy than the last.

There will be more smiles and optimism.

The desire to change something in your life and help people will remain at the same level, but awareness and understanding will come of why this is needed and how to do it.

New Year's story

The celebration of the New Year among ancient peoples usually coincided with the beginning of the revival of nature and was mainly confined to the month of March. The resolution to count the New Year from the month of “Aviv” (i.e., ears of grain), which corresponds to our March and April, is found in the Law of Moses. From March, the Romans also considered a new year, until the calendar was transformed in 45 BC by Julius Caesar. On this day, the Romans made sacrifices to Janus and began major events with it, considering it an auspicious day.

On the same day, it was customary to give each other congratulations and gifts, especially to officials. At first they gave each other fruits covered with gold, dates and wine berries, then copper coins and even valuable gifts (the latter was practiced only among rich people). The patricians enjoyed the priority right to be gifted. Each client had to give his patron a gift on New Year's Day. This custom later became mandatory for all residents of Rome.

In France, the New Year was counted until 755. From December 25, and then from March 1 in the XII and XIII centuries - from the day of St. Easter, until it was finally established in 1654 by decree of King Charles IX, was counted as the beginning of the year on January 1. In Germany the same thing happened in the second half of the 16th century, and in England in the 18th century. In Russia, from the time of the introduction of Christianity, fulfilling the customs of their ancestors, they also began calculating chronology either from March or from St. Easter.

In 1492, Grand Duke John Vasilyevich the Third finally approved the resolution of the Moscow Council to consider September 1 as the beginning of both the church and civil years, when tribute, duties, various quitrents, etc. were collected. To give the greatest solemnity to this day, the Tsar himself appeared in the Kremlin the day before, where everyone, a commoner or a noble boyar, at that time could approach him and seek directly from him truth and mercy. The prototype of the church ceremony with which the celebration of the September New Year took place in Rus' was its celebration in Byzantium, established by Constantine the Great.

One of his foreign contemporaries describes the solemn spectacle of the New Year’s celebration he saw in Russia in 1636: “More than 20 thousand people, old and young, gathered in the palace courtyard. From the church standing on the right side at the entrance to the square (we are talking about the Assumption Cathedral) , the patriarch came out with his clergy of 400 priests. All in church vestments with many images and with unfolded old books, His Royal Majesty, with his state dignitaries, boyars and princes, walked from the left side of the square with his head uncovered. wearing the bishop's miter, they came out of the passage, approached each other and kissed each other on the lips. The Patriarch also gave the Grand Duke a kiss on the cross... Then, in a long speech, he pronounced a blessing to His Royal Majesty and all the people and wished everyone happiness for the New Year. like this: “Grant, Lord! You, Tsar Sovereign and Grand Duke, Autocrat of all Russia, were in good health with your Sovereign Tsarina and Grand Duchess, and our Great Sovereign, and with your sovereign’s noble children, with princes and princesses, and with your sovereign’s pilgrims, with your eminences metropolitans and with archbishops, and bishops, and archimandrites, and abbots, and with the entire sacred council, and with the boyars, and with the Christ-loving army, and with goodwill, and with all Orthodox Christians, hello, Tsar Sovereign, this year and many to come summer forever and ever." The people, in confirmation of the patriarchal New Year's wishes, loudly shouted: "Amen." The raw, wretched, defenseless and persecuted were right there in the crowd with petitions raised up, which they, with tears and sobs, threw at the feet of the Grand Duke, asking him for mercy, protection and intercessions. Petitions were sent to the royal chambers.

The last time the New Year was celebrated was on September 1, 1698, it was spent cheerfully and in a feast, arranged with royal pomp by the governor Shein, who gathered an incredible number of boyars, civil and military officials, as well as a large number of sailors. The Tsar himself approached them, gave them apples, calling each of them brother. Each healthy cup was accompanied by a shot from 25 guns.

Tsar Peter the Great, having appeared at the Assumption Cathedral, accompanied by his young son Alexei and his wife, Queen Evdokia, dressed in the German style, like the others present, with the exception of the Dowager Queen Praskovya Feodorovna, himself congratulated the people on the New Year. The guards wore blue uniforms with red cuffs and high boots. “For the sake of agreement with the European peoples in contracts and treatises,” Peter the Great radically changed both the calendar and the way of celebrating the New Year. In the first year of the 18th century, he already ordered chronology to be carried out from the Nativity of Christ, abolishing chronology from the day of the creation of the world.

Not wanting to completely banish the custom of celebrating the New Year, he established it according to the customs he borrowed from Holland and other countries of Western Europe. To justify his undertakings, the Tsar cited the simple and obvious reasons that “not only in many European and Christian countries, but also in the Slavic peoples, who agree with our Eastern Church in everything, like the Wallachians, Moldavians, Serbs, Dalmatians and most of his Great The sovereign's subjects, the Cherkasy (i.e., Little Russians) and all the Greeks, from whom our Orthodox faith was received, according to their years, are calculated from the Nativity of Christ on the eighth day later, i.e., January 1st, and not from the creation of the world, for many discords. reckoning in those years." A well-known associate of the reign of the Great Sovereign, Archbishop of Novgorod and Velikiye Luki, Russian Chrysostom, Feofan Prokopovich, to explain this change, asked the “sacristans and apostates” who were dissatisfied with this “destroying the years of God”: “What is more decent and honest? Should we celebrate the New Year in memory of tributes and taxes imposed by Constantine, or when we celebrate the coming of the Son of God into the world, by Him we will be freed from eternal debts and from insoluble bonds?” Further, briefly, with great scientific authority, he explained: “From the beginning of the Church of Christ, neither shepherds nor other Christians in their epistles and deeds wrote the number of years from the creation of the world, below from the Nativity of Jesus Christ, but in the names of real (modern) Roman consuls meant time. Only in the sixth century did the Roman church begin to mean the time from the Nativity of Christ, but in the Greek for one and a half thousand years it did not and only recently became a common custom, what do you say now, blind chronologists? What kind of summer do you dream of? God’s? And who and where inexorably legitimized it? And who and when tied the new year to September? We know, but not by a strong union.

Such a change resonated painfully in the minds and hearts of people of the old school, but, limiting itself to just the dull murmur of ignorant people, this innovation took root without any unrest, square fights and street bloodshed, causing only from time to time the abusive writings of the “zealots of ancient piety.” Implementation This reform of the Great Tsar, which was so important, began with the fact that it was forbidden to celebrate in any way on September 1, and on December 15, 1699, the beating of drums announced something important to the people who poured into Red Square in crowds. A high platform was built here, on which the royal clerk loudly read the decree that the Great Sovereign Peter Alekseevich commanded “from now on, summers should be counted in orders and in all matters and fortresses written from the 1st of January from the Nativity of Christ.” As a sign of that good undertaking and the new hundred-year century, “after thanking God and singing prayers in the church,” it was commanded: “along large thoroughfares, and noble people and at houses of special (eminent) spiritual and worldly rank, in front of the gates, make some decoration from trees and branches of pine and juniper. And for the poor people (i.e., the poor) at least to place a tree or branch over their gates or over their mansions, and so that the next year will ripen by the 1st of 1700 of this year. January to the 7th day of the same year. Yes, on the 1st day of January, as a sign of joy, congratulate each other on the New Year and the centenary, and do this when the fire fun begins on Big Red Square and there is shooting, and at the noble houses of the boyars and okolnichi, and duma noble people, chamber, military and merchant ranks, famous people in their yard from small cannons, whoever has them, or from a small gun, shoot three times and fire several rockets, as many as anyone has. And on large streets, where it is decent, from the 1st to the 7th of January at night, light fires from wood, or from brushwood, or from straw. And where the small courtyards, gathered in five or six courtyards, also lay fire, or, whoever wants, on pillars, one or two or three, tar and thin barrels, filled with straw or brushwood, light them, and in front of the burgomaster's town hall, shooting and it is at their discretion to have such decorations." The Tsar himself was the first to launch a rocket, which, writhing like a fiery snake in the air, announced to the people the coming of the New Year, and after it, according to the royal decree, fun began throughout the whole of Belokamennaya....

YEAR of the white metal rabbit (hare or cat)

The 2011 Jewish New Year, or Rosh Hashanah, falls between September 5 and October 5, 163 days after Passover (Easter). The date of the Chinese Traditional New Year also varies and falls between January 21 and February 21, marking the end of the lunar cycle. At the same time as China, the Vietnamese also celebrate their Tet Nugen Den. Kazakhs, Tajiks, Kyrgyz, Iranians and the Baha'i people consider the beginning of the New Year 2011 to be the day of the vernal equinox, March 21-22. They call this holiday Navruz (or Nooruz, Nauryz) and symbolizes the spring renewal of nature. The Slavs initially celebrated the New Year on March 1, and since 1348 on September 1, calling this holiday the First Day of the Year. Peter I, having opened a window to Europe, in 1700 decreed that the New Year should be celebrated according to European customs, on January 1. But no matter how different the folk traditions associated with this holiday may be, its essence is the same - the completion of a full cycle, the renewal of the calendar.

The following beautiful legend, which has been created since the third millennium BC, tells about the emergence of the eastern horoscope.

“One day Buddha invited all the animals who wanted to come to him. Not all the animals came: the time was cold, and to get to the Buddha, it was necessary to swim across a wide river. Buddha gave each of those who came on a first-come, first-served basis one year of reign. The Rat came first - she got the first year of the twelve-year cycle. She was rewarded for her efficiency and ability to take advantage of circumstances. The buffalo was second in line, slightly behind him was the Tiger, who got his third year.
The fans, captivated by the competition between the Buffalo and the Tiger (they have been competing with each other ever since then), did not properly consider who came fourth - the Cat, the Hare or the Rabbit. Due to the passage of time, it is impossible to establish the truth, and different eastern peoples still have different interpretations regarding the owner of the fourth year. The fifth was the Dragon, the sixth was the Snake, the seventh was the Horse. Here a strip of fog passed along the river, and again it is not clear who was the eighth - Goat, Sheep, or maybe Ram. Ninth in line was the Monkey, who did not want to take risks and carefully watched the swimmers. After making sure it was safe, she entered the water. The Rooster (and maybe the Chicken) came running tenth. He was delayed because he told his large family at length and in detail how they should live in his absence. The Dog came running eleventh. In the morning she had a lot of household chores to do, and having barely completed them, she rushed into the water, heated. They say she coughed for a long time afterwards.
The last to appear was the Boar (or Pig). He was not in a hurry: he is not ambitious, not picky, in life he usually picks up everything that is left after the nosy ones. Buddha gave him the last year, but the most calm and characterized by abundance and tranquility. Thus, a wonderful character trait was rewarded - the ability to resist the temptation to pull the blanket over oneself.”

Eastern calendar and horoscope

12 mythological animals represent, according to Eastern cosmogonic theory, 12 cosmic influences that act in the year of a person’s birth, forming his character and largely determining his destiny. In addition to the 12 animals, the Eastern (Chinese) horoscope contains 5 elements corresponding to the primary elements of the Universe (see below).
The eastern calendar is based on the orbital period of Jupiter (the largest planet in the solar system), which will complete five revolutions during this time. The Jovian year is equal to 12 Earth years and is close to the period of changes in solar activity (about 11 years). Chinese sages attached special significance to the number five. It corresponded to the five primary elements of the Universe: Fire, Wood (or sky), Metal, Earth, Water. These primary elements (or elements) formed ten “celestial trunks”. Each of them was combined with one of the 12 animals - signs of the “earthly branches”, which gave the name to one or another year in the 60-year cycle.
If you multiply these numbers, you get a full cycle of 60 years. Each element has its own color: Wood - green, Water - blue/black, Metal - white, Earth - yellow, ocher, Fire - red. The eastern horoscope is inextricably linked with the Chinese calendar. When compiling this horoscope, first of all, the rhythm of movement across the sky of the Moon, Saturn and Jupiter is taken into account. Recently, the eastern horoscope has become no less widespread than the European one that is already familiar to us.
In each 60-year cycle, the name of the animal occurs five times at intervals of 12 years.
2011 Year of the Hare - 28th year of the cycle, year syn-m. You can read more about the 60-year cycle here.

The Year of the Hare corresponds to the following birth years: 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023.

How to determine your element according to the eastern calendar?

You can determine your element by the last digit of your year of birth:
“4” or “5” - Tree (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).

That’s why they also call the year by color, for example, 2011 is the year of the White Rabbit.

Rabbit symbol in the East

The Rabbit was the symbolic animal of the fourth sign of the zodiac, which corresponded approximately to Pisces, the element of the sign is Forest and, accordingly, the color green.
In Ancient China, the Rabbit was a lunar animal. Like the hare, he lives on the moon and is associated with all kinds of lunar goddesses and Mother Earth.
In Aztec symbolism, the Moon is a rabbit or hare. In China, figurines of white rabbits were made for the Moon Festival.
Among the Indians of the wooded eastern coast of America, a rabbit or hare is a fabulous cunning creature. It also symbolizes fertility and lust, but in rituals, clothes made from rabbit skins mean obedience and humility before the Great Spirit.
The rabbit is also a pre-Christian symbol of rebirth and renewal at the beginning of the spring equinox. Emblem of the Teutonic goddess of spring and dawn Ostara or Eastra. Probably, the name of the Christian holiday of Easter (Easter) comes from the name of this goddess.

Symbol of the Cat in the East

If we talk about cat symbol, then the Cat, having the ability to change the shape of the pupil, symbolizes the changing power of the Sun, as well as the phases of the Moon and the splendor of the night. It also means everything that is done furtively; desire and freedom. A black cat is lunar and represents evil and death (only in our time has a black cat come to mean good luck).

Among the American Indians wild cat is a sign of theft. Among the Celts cat - chthonic force, funeral symbol. The Chinese The cat, being a nocturnal animal, belongs to the yin principle and has evil powers and the ability to transform. Meeting an unfamiliar cat is not good. Black cat - failure, illness. In Christianity cat - Satan, darkness, lust and laziness. The Egyptians the cat is a lunar image, dedicated to Set as darkness and can serve as a lunar symbol of Isis or Basta, the Moon; represents pregnant women, as the Moon allows the seed to grow in the womb. In Greco-Roman In culture, the cat is the companion of the lunar Diana. The goddess of freedom holds a cat at her feet. The Japanese The cat symbolizes the power of transformation and peaceful relaxation. Among the Scandinavians, a cat is an attribute of Freya; cats were harnessed to her cart. In witchcraft, a cat is a good friend of witches. A black cat as a close associate of a witch means evil and bad luck. Cats and dogs can make it rain.

Distrust of both animals is quite high in Asian countries, as is the case with us. There are beliefs about the transformation of sorcerers into cats; Both cats and rabbits are associated with evil spirits.

IN Japanese tradition this is also a demonic animal (we are talking about a cat), possessing supernatural strength, and sometimes even the traits of a vampire.

In China, despite the not very flattering attitude towards it, they still believed in the ability of the beast to expel (dispel) evil spirits.

According to the legend about the origin of the eastern calendar, Buddha once invited all the animals who wanted to come to him. Not all the animals came: the time was cold, and to get to the Buddha, it was necessary to swim across a wide river. Buddha gave each of those who came on a first-come, first-served basis one year of reign. The Rat came first, the Buffalo second, and the Tiger third. The fans, captivated by the competition between the Buffalo and the Tiger (they have been competing with each other ever since then), did not properly consider who came fourth - the Cat, the Hare or the Rabbit. Due to the passage of time, it is impossible to establish the truth, and different eastern peoples still have different interpretations regarding the owner of the fourth year. The fifth was the Dragon, the sixth was the Snake, the seventh was the Horse. Here a strip of fog passed along the river, and again it is not clear who was the eighth - Goat, Sheep or Ram. The ninth was the Monkey. The Rooster (and maybe the Chicken) came running tenth. The Dog came running eleventh. The last, twelfth, Boar (or Pig) appeared.

That is why it is believed that the “cat” (aka “Rabbit”) always falls on its paws and never stops purring with pleasure while warming itself by the hearth.
