Totems in the Slavic calendar 2025 – the year of which animal?

Different nations have different astrological calendars. Most nations, such as the Chinese and Slavs, have calendars in which each year is declared the year of some animal. Such cycles are repeated periodically.

A person born in the year of a particular animal is endowed with certain character traits and also has a certain destiny. Such horoscopes are very popular and almost always come true, so you should not ignore the ancient wisdom.

The ancient Slavs associated each year of the cycle with the year of a totem animal. Depending on the patron of the coming year, astrologers predicted events that would occur in the next twelve months.

What is the Slavic calendar?


Astrology lovers have already started to think about what animal the year 2025 will be. The Slavic calendar 2025 claims that the patron of the coming year is the Dark Elk.

When asked what animal is 2025 according to the Slavic calendar, experts in the field of ancient astrology give a clear answer: a horse is a creature that has powerful positive energy. Most likely, the coming year will be successful and peaceful for most people.

This is interesting. The Slavic calendar is directly connected with paganism and pagan rituals. When Christianity came to Rus', most pagan holidays and rituals remained in use, but changed their meaning.

Scientists know about the Slavic calendar from ancient chronicles and Easter tables, which were left by Kirik Novgorodets - an outstanding mathematician and historian of Ancient Rus'. The Slavic calendar is based on the cycle of the moon and the sun. Since the Slavic tribes were mainly engaged in agriculture, and the activity of the moon and sun is of great importance for agriculture.

The ancient calendar is based on the hexadecimal system of calculation. This system was used until Peter the Great came to power. The full life cycle of the Slavic calendar is 144 years.

What totems are there in the Slavic calendar?


The year 2025 according to the Slavic calendar is associated with the totem horse – a symbol of strength, power and health. Each year has a totem, and they are repeated periodically. The full circle of life among the Slavs was divided into equal intervals using the circles of Svarog.

Each circle of Svarog has 16 chambers, and the patron of each chamber is an animal, bird or insect. Here we can draw parallels with the eastern calendar, which uses a similar twelve-year cycle.

For example, the list of totem animals of the Slavic calendar includes:

  • Dark deer;
  • The lurking wolf;
  • Pearl pike;
  • Fire Squirrel;
  • Wild boar.

It should be noted that the New Year in Rus' began in September, so a new animal comes to power on September 23 of the current year and gives way to a new totem on September 24 of the following year.

If a person wants to determine his totem according to the Slavic horoscope, it is necessary to take this nuance into account, otherwise the calculations will be incorrect. For example, 2022 is the year of the Golden-Horned Tour, or Bull, and on September 24, 2022, the year of the Fire-Maned Horse will begin.
