What is the color of the New Year? More than one century has passed, while Chinese sages - astrologers studied the influence of stars, planets, animal elements, colors and signs on people's lives, the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire are sure that everything and everyone in the world is in interaction with each other and strives for ideal harmony in everything.
Astrologers make horoscopes with descriptions for each year, make recommendations for people to predict: what to do and what to avoid in a given period. All this is done with one intention - to at least get a little closer to this unattainable ideal.
Not only her patron influences the year. The element, which has a certain color and its own qualities, also takes an active part in this. What will be the color of the New Year and its influence on the destinies of people?
History of the Chinese Horoscope
There are various Chinese teachings that prove the influence on a person's destiny: the solar-lunar calendar, ba-ji (four pillars of destiny), feng shui (the teaching about the secret influence of the earth's forces) and many others. In addition, there is another legend, or rather, several about animals that are the patrons of the year. They also influence a person and endow him with their qualities at birth.
One of the legends tells how Buddha called all the animals to a feast, and to the twelve of those who arrived first, having overcome all obstacles, he granted protection over the years.
The second legend tells how Buddha sent his assistant to Earth. His task was to invite and deliver to Buddha twelve of the most interesting and beautiful animals, in his opinion. The first one the assistant met on Earth was a rat. After talking to her, he liked her and was invited first.
The following story about a cat seems a little funny. Buddha's assistant had heard about him many times, wanted to find him and meet him, but he had never seen the cat. Having decided to ask the rat about the cat, the assistant learned that the rat knew the cat and was ready to arrange a meeting for them. The rat called the cat. But he turned out to be lazy, slovenly and sleepy. Knowing his shortcomings, the cat asked the rat to wake him up before she went to the Heavenly Lord. But the rat was in a hurry to meet, got tired and in her haste forgot about her promise to wake the cat.
It turned out that instead of twelve invited guests, only eleven came. The assistant had to return to Earth for another one and returned. As soon as Buddha finished handing out the years, the cat, who had overslept and was offended by the rat, came. He was very angry with her for not waking him up (there is another legend that it was from that time that the hostile relations between the cat and the rat began). Buddha nevertheless gave the furry guest a worthy assessment and decided that he could patronize the year together with the rabbit.
After all, not only animals can rule over the years, but also the feminine and masculine principles (yin-yang) and the elements.
Yin-Yang — the fundamental basis of the universe and everything that exists. These two initial energies in the book of changes eosin are intended to characterize light and dark, solar and lunar, hard and soft, swift and calm, etc. Yin is dark feminine, Yang is light masculine. In general, these two energies are inseparable and create a single whole. It is just that in something and someone one energy can influence more than the other.
Regarding the years, these beginnings alternate. For example, the year of the Ox is Yin, and the year of the Rat is Yang. In the years of Yang, it is recommended to start something new, to completely change your life, and in the years of Yin, to continue or finish what you did not have time to finish.
Wu-sin — these are the five elements generated by Yin-Yang. There is an opinion about the struggle of two principles, the interaction of which accompanies the birth of five elements, interacting and fighting with each other at the same time. All living things around us, including humans, consist of these five elements.
Generating and suppressing each other, these elements are constantly in continuous motion. Thus, water generates wood, and wood generates fire, fire melts metal, metal breaks wood,
the tree disturbs the earth of healing juices, thereby depleting it, the earth dries up the water, absorbing it into its mighty body. But in spite of everything, this whole process is the creator of the Universal harmony and the foundations of the universe.
Each element has its own color: blue and black are the color of water, green and turquoise represent wood, fire symbolizes red, earth - pale yellow and metal - white.
If we sum it all up, we can come to the conclusion that the year is influenced not only by the patron animal, but also by the beginning and the element. Multiplying 12 animals by 5 elements, we get a 60-year full cycle.
What will the New Year bring?
The coming year of the strong earth (Wu-xu) will give us peace and stability. The thoroughness and unhurriedness of our actions will allow desires to stock up for the future and strengthen the rear, and all together this is equal to greater confidence in the future. This earthly branch in Ba-zi is called "storage". So hope that a good bank account can go to you.
Here are the ones you can't envy, those who are lazy. Lazy and sedentary, conservative people with low energy, who are touchy, suspicious, and also restless with or without reason will have a very hard time. The elements of the year will only strengthen these negative qualities.
The Earth inclines many of us to various reflections on matters, the meaning of life and the people closest and dearest to us, causing anxiety and worry for them. To avoid feelings of depression, apathy and other painful conditions, it is important to learn to switch your thoughts to a positive channel in time. Sports, active entertainment, switching to a healthy diet and lifestyle will contribute to a good mood, the development of positive thoughts and health, both physical and spiritual.
The influence of this brings some of us the need for solitude. The desire for privacy and silence - this is what you lack and want most of all now. Make an effort, wait, because this does not mean that you need to change everything in life and break off relationships with everyone that have been established for years.
If you have a feeling of loneliness or a need to be alone with yourself, do not deny yourself this. Let an excursion or solitude in an ordinary park serve you for self-improvement and internal analysis.
In general, the year promises to be successful, reminding us that harmony is important in everything. The Earth tends to "ground", which means our task is to find something that will help us rise "fly up". To achieve success this year, calm people should leave their comfort zones, since the threat of becoming lazy is very close. The mistress of the year and her element will cope with the overly active ones.
What is the best way to celebrate the New Year?
Houses decorated for the New Year in yellow and gold tones, festive tables distinguished by their diversity and “meat” richness, gathered cheerful, friendly companies.
A thoroughly cleaned house, plus getting rid of everything unnecessary, boring and old, which has accumulated a lot of old and weak energy, will give the opportunity for a slow but new circulation of creative energy in your home. Also, considering that the Earth slows down the energies, you need to help it cope with this.
It is important to break all relations with people who betrayed you in difficult times, they are unworthy of being close to you, stop all old relations. Be sure that the New Year will certainly give you a meeting with new true friends.
Which zodiac signs will have a good time in the New Year, and which will have to put in a lot of effort?
By temperament, the Rat, Dragon and Monkey are open signs:
- The Bull, Snake and Rooster are closed signs;
- Tiger, Horse and Dog are strong-willed signs;
- Rabbit, Goat and Pig are creative signs.
Some of us will have to work hard to discover new qualities that the mistress of the year and her elements possess. The struggle of the elements is mutually interconnected: thus the earth gives birth to metal and fills up water. The conclusion suggests itself that those who were born in the "metal" years will be gifted with the blessing of the earth. Those born during the reign of the water element should be more careful, so that it does not "fill up" for the sake of eternal harmony.
