2018 - Year of the Dog
Eastern calendar
When is Chinese New Year 2018?

The dog is a symbol of the penultimate eleventh year of the 12-year earthly cycle of the eastern calendar. In countries where the main religion is Buddhism, the symbolic perception of the Dog, in my opinion, does not differ at all from the European one; in the east, the Dog is endowed primarily with such qualities as loyalty, honesty and nobility and aggressive uncompromising attitude towards enemies ...
"Ancient Epic"

2018 is the year of the Golden Dog

February 16, 2018 year on the second new moon after the winter solstice according to the eastern (Chinese) lunar cyclic calendar, the year of the celestial stem of time “Earth” begins in the “Yang” stage of the earthly branch “Dog”, 35th year of the 34th cycle of the new chronology.
What does all this mean?
Let's turn to ancient Chinese philosophy. As part of her ideas, time in heaven and on earth flows differently. Therefore, earthly and heavenly signs were used to indicate time. According to ancient Chinese ideas, the main flow of time is carried out along the celestial stems, and time flows to the earth from these stems along the branches that lead to it. There are five heavenly stems, and 12 branches are drawn from them to the earth.
"Earth" - a symbol of the celestial flow of time of the coming year, carries with it the properties of the primary element of the same name: the control direction is the Center; characterizing colors - yellow, brown and flesh; the presence of this element in a person means endurance, fertility, diligence and strategic thinking.

All signs of the earthly branch are the offspring of heavenly stems, so the "Dogs" branch 戌 inherits the signs of the generative stem-element "Earth" in the "Yang" stage, it also has some qualities of a real earthly collective image of a dog, in the ancient Eastern representation it is: honesty mind, sense of justice, simplicity, loyalty, attractiveness, friendliness, sociability and openness; unpretentiousness, calmness and sensitivity, and on the other side of the medal, cynicism, laziness, indifference, pessimism, anxiety, stubbornness and absurdity.

In China and some of its neighboring countries, it is customary to celebrate the New Year dressed in the colors of the heavenly sign. The element "Earth" has several symbolic colors: yellow, brown (ocher) and flesh (beige). All these colors and their combinations are acceptable for the New Year, but yellow is considered the main one. On New Year's Eve, it is advisable for men to have some item of clothing with a yellow color (for example, a tie with a yellow stripe or a beige shirt, in extreme cases, yellow socks ...). Women have more choice in terms of colors - they can afford beige and shades of yellow-brown, including golden ones.
The symbolic yellow color of this year of the Dog in the eastern calendar is somewhat different from the yellow we are used to - it is closer to yellow-brown, one might even say golden, (approximately this color is used on the page splash page with an outline image of a dog - in more detail about the symbolism and device of the Eastern calendar can be found in the next section).
I would like to add one more remark about the "earthly essence" of the year: The Dog's time branch is a product of the element "Earth" (Soil) and inherits mainly its qualities, therefore, despite the fact that the expressions "" or "" adopted by us already carry some semantic liberty of our perception of the designation of 2018 in the Chinese calendar 戊戌 , but the expression "Year of the Earth Dog", in philosophical terms, has a deep meaning ... Since the branch of the Dog connecting the heavenly flow of time with the Earthly is a product of the "earthly" trunk that carries time, this year one should expect a steady and stable flow of time. It is worth noting that in mnemonic terms, the expression "" has every right to life ...
I would rather call the coming year a year Golden Dogs, since the parent of this branch carries the main stream of time. And, if we call 2018 completely according to our modern rules, then 2018 is.

So, in order to receive the patronage of the Dog in the new 2018, when meeting the New Year, you need to put on something yellow, brown, golden or beige, or add some touch of yellow or golden color to the clothes, and on the table it is desirable to have dishes from meat, poultry or meat products , but otherwise there are no restrictions - "Dog" is an omnivore, with some predatory bias.

According to the table presented here, you can decide when to celebrate the New Year according to the eastern calendar, as well as determine your oriental patron signs by date of birth ...

This table clearly shows a 12-year calendar cycle of earthly branches, and not very clearly a 10-year one - each of the five primary elements "takes control of the development of world events" for 2 solar years. The main cycle lasts 60 years - the cycle begins with the celestial stem "Tree", the earthly branch "Rat" - now there is the 34th cycle from the beginning of the calculation of the new time, it began on February 2, 1984.

Eastern (Chinese) lunar cyclic calendar.

According to the worldview of ancient Chinese natural philosophy, as well as in later ancient philosophy, there are two passages of time - in heaven and on earth. In heaven, time continuously flows through five essential world-forming elements (elements, entities): “Wood”, “Fire”, “Earth” (“Soil”), “Metal”, “Water” - figuratively “along the heavenly trunks of these elements-entities ". The main, most powerful stream of time overflows from one entity to another. When the flow of time flows into the celestial stem of an entity inherent in the year (the first year), it is in the YANG stage, when it starts to leave (the second year), it passes into the YIN stage (The properties of the entity elements are shown in the table:).

In the earthly world - its own stream of time, it flows along the earthly branches, which are generated by heavenly trunks. The fertile fundamental "Earth" gives rise to 4 branches on its trunk for a 12-year cycle: two in the YANG stage - the Dragon, the Dog; and two in the stage of YIN - Ox, Sheep. The rest of the trunks, respectively: "Metal" - branches Monkey and Rooster; "Water" - Rat and Pig; "Tree" - Tiger and Rabbit; "Fire" - Horse and Snake. All this underlies the construction, so to speak, of the outer cover of the cyclic calendar.

The true basis of the cyclic calendar is the results of observations of the movement of the planets, the Moon and the Sun. The founders of the calendar knew that 29 and a half days pass from the new moon to the new moon; that for an earthly observer, Mars returns to the point of the starry sky fixed at the time the observation began after almost 2 years, Jupiter after about 12 years, and Saturn after 30. To return both Jupiter and Saturn to their original configuration at the same time, 60 years are needed - this period and was adopted as the main longest cycle of the calendar. The next longest 12-year cycle corresponds to the orbital period of Jupiter. But the ten-year and two-year cycles are already a tribute to the metaphysical ideas of that time.
Despite this complex interweaving of the rational and the metaphysical, we can say that the Chinese cyclic lunisolar calendar is the first documented attempt by mankind to synchronize the time counting system with the movement of celestial bodies, which took place more than 4600 years ago!

According to the historical, philosophical and astronomical materials of the network: Sergey Ov(seosnews9)

Let's try to imagine what the coming year is preparing for us, using our tables of properties of primary elements.
So, 2018, (starting from February 16, 2018- New Year according to the Eastern calendar), the celestial stem "Earth", the earthly branch "Dog":

Weather 2018
Weather control will almost completely take over the celestial trunk - the Tree, and the "Dog" will make only small additional adjustments.
We look at the table.
"Earth": control direction - center; type of energy - humidity.
"Dog" (branch of the Earth trunk): accordingly, the control direction is the center; type of energy - humidity.
The season corresponding to the sign "Dog" is late autumn.

Based on this information, we find that in 2018 the weather will mostly follow the climatic norm, but with some excess moisture.
The corresponding season of the "Dogs" branch (late autumn) can cause the correction of air temperature towards lower values...
Spring and summer will come at the usual time.

Year of the Dog. Society 2018

The decisive factor in the development of social life will be the impact of internal events in the country. The influence of external factors will begin to increase only at the end of the year.

Year of the Dog. People in 2018

Success, according to tradition, will contribute to the greatest extent to those who were born in the Year of the Dog, as well as those born under the shadow of the heavenly branch "Earth" (in the years of the Ox, Dragon and Sheep). In general, under the auspices of the "dog" this year you can solve many accumulated problems, as well as, showing patience and perseverance, improve life for yourself and your loved ones.

In the previous Year of the Dog (2006), a commemorative coin was issued in Russia with a rather successful image of a dog (photo) - that year, by the way, nothing bad happened in our country. So, keep in mind - this coin can bring good luck in 2018 as well.

P.S.. Fashion in the Year of the Dog: Yellow browns and golden colors and shades in clothes, with elements of jewelry incorporating metal, create an additional boost to success.
