Color of the year 2018

In Eastern culture, all colors can carry not only a certain emotional burden, they are also functionally significant and also have specific content. Yellow color is given great importance. It symbolizes prosperity, unshakable faith, the beginning of something new, unity, joy and happiness.

IN ancient China yellow is the color of emperors. For a long time, in the territory of this country, clothes of the specified color and its shades were allowed to be worn exclusively by emperors and persons close to them. In the countries of the East, “solar” magic, the main color of which is yellow, has been relevant since ancient times and is still relevant. The teaching is based on rituals aimed at:

• to obtain a rich harvest;
• to changes in weather conditions;
• to transform “dead” soil into fertile soil;
• to protect people from evil spirits, diseases, witchcraft influence and various types of misfortunes.

Each color corresponds to a certain side of the world and a specific time of year. Thus, the color yellow symbolizes autumn and the directions leading to the center of the Earth. Therefore, it can be combined with golden, brown and white colors. The peculiarity of eastern color symbolism lies in the duality of color meanings. Based on this, the color yellow can represent not only goodness, faith, happiness, power, marriage bonds and harmony, but also the abode of the dead.

If we consider the influence yellow color for 2018, it can be noted that the most significant events in people's lives will take place in the autumn months. Those who manage to appease the mistress of the year will find harmony in their relationship with their partner. This is especially true for married couples. Single people will have a good chance of meeting a life partner and finding personal happiness; prosperity; brilliant career success; well-being in financial matters; improvement of health.

Element of 2018

Element of 2018 Earth is one of the elements of nature and the element that will dominate in the coming year. Symbolizes worldly wisdom, moral purity, devotion to ethnic, cultural and family traditions. Therefore, astrologers recommend celebrating 2018 taking these aspects into account.

In the eastern horoscope, this element occupies a central place, corresponding to the North Star, around which the celestial bodies revolve. Due to the fact that the North Star has always personified the Emperor, who was its earthly incarnation, this element is inextricably linked with control and power. As for the time of year, mid-summer is associated with the Earth, when the main fruits, berries, fruits, grains and vegetables begin to ripen. This element of nature is also associated with a certain life span- maturity, which, as a rule, is the middle of life's journey.

The element of Earth will have a powerful influence throughout the year. This will be expressed in stability, which will be present in almost all areas of life. A special impact will be had on those who are in power, hold leadership positions, and are the owners of large enterprises. In order not to worsen their situation and not lose their status, these people must be disciplined and fair, show patience and courage. The dog will not tolerate pretense and deception.

Another important area on which the disaster will have a significant impact is the family hearth. The Earth is a symbol of fertility and unity, and the Dog teaches people to honor traditions, including family ones. To have complete confidence in the strength of the family hearth, generally accepted moral standards should be observed. The year will be successful if you do not commit adultery, drive away harmful thoughts that tempt you, and take care of loved ones.

Three main qualities of the yellow earth Dog

1. A dog is faithful and devoted not only to someone, but also to its principles, ideals, and promises. Therefore, throughout the year, she will especially carefully protect those who are well-mannered, noble and honest from problems. The protection of the hostess in 2018 will automatically extend to people whose professional activities are related to the protection of rights, the search for truth, the restoration of justice, and the upholding of honor and valor (military, civil servants, scientists, researchers).

2. Yellow Earth Dog - a talisman for married couples. It helps strengthen relationships between loved ones and achieve personal happiness, and protects the family hearth from ill-wishers. It is believed that a marriage entered into in 2018 is doomed to a long and happy existence, and the spouses will never quarrel or need anything.

3. The patroness of the year is an excellent speaker and a gifted financier. Yellow color helps to increase communication skills and establish business connections, and the element of Earth brings an element of stability and balance. This means that 2018 will be a successful period for all entrepreneurs. Particular luck awaits those who buy/sell goods. Financially, the year promises to be very successful.

What can be done to make 2018 a favorable period?

In order for the Dog to be favorable to you throughout the year, firstly, you should strengthen in every possible way family relationships. Show concern for your relatives, give them your love, please them more often and pamper them with pleasant little things. Don't break family traditions. Be proactive. Know how to defend your point of view. Seek justice where lawlessness and arbitrariness prevail. Do not refuse to help those who turn to you, for example, for advice. Help the poor, beggars, street children, make donations regularly. Be extremely careful when dealing with business connections. In your career, be persistent and patient. For your efforts, the hostess of the year will reward you with honors and universal recognition.

Stop cooperating with those business partners who have repeatedly let you down. Contacts with unreliable people in the year of the Dog tend to worsen. Be careful and thrifty in terms of finances. Keep strict records of your family budget. Control your shopping expenses. Carefully approach global acquisitions, for example, when buying real estate or a car.

Your health will not let you down in 2018 if you eat right, exercise regularly, strengthen your body, and undergo preventive procedures. Beware of stress, emotional breakdowns and psychological tension. These are the main enemies of health in the year of the Dog.

What should you watch out for in 2018?

People who cause resentment or aggression in the Dog may experience the evil and even fighting side of the four-legged character. Therefore, you should not hurt the pride of the hostess of the year. Avoid displaying the following qualities: quarrelsomeness; greed: ignorance; self-confidence; stinginess. Family people who succumb to the temptation to betray their significant other will also be punished by the Dog. The patroness will simply deprive them of the opportunity to establish future relationships with their life partner. The Dog will punish lazy people and those who lead an idle lifestyle, welcoming all sorts of excesses, with a ruble. These people will not be able to stabilize their financial situation within a year.

Girls, pay attention! You are probably aware of the moral and religious aspects of deliberately terminating a normal pregnancy. In the year of the yellow earth Dog, abortion is an extremely serious sin that will entail negative consequences in the future. This may result in deterioration of health, development of serious complications after surgery, and even infertility. To kill a fetus conceived this year is to spoil your karma, which will affect your seven subsequent generations.

Where, how and with whom to celebrate 2018 Year of the Dog?

Due to the fact that the Dog is an ardent supporter of observing traditions and morally correct behavior, astrologers advise celebrating the holiday with family and close friends. You should not organize an overly magnificent and pompous celebration with all sorts of excesses. The dog doesn't like this. She prefers solidity, grace, warmth and moderate sophistication. Of course, a symbol of the unity of any family is a house full of cups. Therefore, celebrating the New Year at home would be an ideal option. As a last resort, if your house/apartment does not have enough space to comfortably accommodate all guests, you can rent a banquet hall. It is desirable that the interior of the hall be decorated in yellow, brown and white colors.

It is highly undesirable to choose entertainment venues, cafes, traditional and floating restaurants, clubs and other noisy places to celebrate the holiday. The dog prefers comfort and the most homely environment possible. She may harbor a grudge if the holiday is accompanied by outright revelry - dancing until you drop, loud vulgar songs, frivolity, shamelessness and arrogance.

How to decorate the house?

It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to create a mix of different styles when decorating your home for 2018. Don't forget that the Dog honors family traditions. Each family has its own heirlooms. These could be old portraits and photographs, shrouded in a haze of warm memories, collections of coins or stamps, Greeting Cards, boxes with jewelry or family jewels, chests with clothes. It is recommended to choose the attributes that will serve as the main decoration of the interior on a festive night from the designated items.

Oddly enough, the Dog gives traditional New Year’s decorations the status of “secondary”. Therefore, standard items are suitable as a pleasant addition: garlands; rain; tinsel; flashlights; firecrackers; confetti; Christmas decorations; serpentine; figures and drawings of dogs and puppies. When choosing auxiliary decorations, give preference to two or three (or one) primary colors. As for the main attributes (relics), their color does not play a special role, since they themselves carry a semantic load.

To appease the four-legged mistress of 2018, it is recommended to use auxiliary decorations in the following colors: yellow; ocher; olive; brown; white; sandy; orange; peach; coffee; beige; golden.

Advice If your family has few or no relics, you can use rare items or items from the times of the USSR as thematic attributes for decorating your house/apartment. For example, pioneer ties and bugles, banners, flags, patches. And also Komsomol and October badges, orders, medals, gramophone records and cassettes, kitchen utensils and small household items. And even if there are family heirlooms, the listed items will become excellent thematic attributes that will decorate the interior, creating a special atmosphere.

Which outfit to choose for the 2018 Dog?

As with everything else, you should adhere to moderation when choosing a New Year's outfit. After all, external attractiveness does not always mean revealing outfits. And considering that many ladies confuse frankness with vulgarity, you need to be especially careful.

Dear ladies, let your dress or suit be a little enticing, shocking and even piquant, but not vulgar. Unless you want to anger the Dog, no miniskirts that cover top part There should be no hips or deep necklines! The highlight of the outfit can be a fur collar and cuffs, a shawl, a cape or a muff. Choosing the color of the outfit is what matters. Dress in the traditional colors of the year.

As for men's New Year's outfit, there are no special recommendations. Men, as a rule, do not have the habit of dressing vulgarly. A business suit with a tie, a shirt with trousers or a T-shirt with jeans - all options are suitable. Everyone will choose the most comfortable form of clothing for themselves.

What to give in the Year of the Dog?

When choosing gifts for the New Year 2018, you need to take three aspects into account. Firstly, the gift should pleasantly surprise. Secondly, it must be thematically related to the mistress of the year, that is, remind that it is the yellow earthen Dog that rules the year. And thirdly, the gift should be practical and suit the taste of its future owner. For those who find it difficult to understand the abundance of goods and decide on New Year's gift, it is recommended to pay attention to the gift ideas presented below.

Idea No. 1 Crafts A dog never strives for wealth; for him, the feelings that you experience in the process of giving a gift are more important. This is why handmade items are a great option. After all, you will leave a piece of your soul in them. The following can serve as homemade gifts: figurines; flowerpots you painted; postcards; beautiful soap sets; photo frames; sculptures; holiday candles.

Idea No. 2 Practical things In some ways, the Dog is a conservative. Therefore, useful in everyday life, as well as practical gifts will suit her taste and will always be relevant for her. But, having decided to use this gift idea, you need to know for sure that it will suit the recipient. Consider the following options: kitchen utensils (women); tie, cufflinks (for men) set of bed linen; bag; purse; umbrella; set of bath towels.

Idea No. 3 “Intellectual” gifts The dog is smart, well-read, educated, and has high intelligence. She always strives for self-development and self-realization. And the elements of the Earth endowed this animal with natural modesty and wisdom. In this regard, you can choose a gift based on these aspects. This could be a gift in the form of: a book; glasses case; business card holders; folders/briefcases for documents; business accessory (parker, diary, desk stationery set).

What should be the dishes on the New Year's table?

Absolutely all New Year's treats - first courses, hot and cold appetizers, drinks and desserts - should not be too pretentious. Excesses are unacceptable for a Dog. However, the absence of pomp does not exclude the presence of originality. The imagination of housewives is welcomed by the four-legged mistress. Let the dishes be prepared not so much from expensive ingredients, but from fresh, high-quality and healthy products. Low-alcohol products are welcome, but if someone prefers strong alcoholic drinks, you can put cognac, vodka, and moonshine on the table homemade. The main thing is moderate use. Staying on New Year's Eve in a strong state alcohol intoxication, you can turn the Dog against yourself.

Important! Kvass will serve perfectly as a treat and as a decoration for the New Year's table. His classic recipe involves the use of rye bread, so it will become a symbol of fertile soil. The Yellow Earth Dog will appreciate the treat and thank the owners of the house for such respect for themselves. It is advisable to prepare kvass yourself. This will not only guarantee the amazing taste of the drink, but will also bring significant benefits to the body.

How to decorate the New Year's table?

Tablecloth and napkins Due to the fact that the coming year will be ruled by the yellow earth Dog, it is recommended to choose napkins in the appropriate colors (orange, yellow, brown, sand). The napkins may contain images of a dog or puppies. Since yellow can be combined with white, you can choose a tablecloth in a traditional style. To surprise your guests, you can prepare a personal cloth napkin for each of them with the guest’s name and a picture of a dog embroidered on it. Yes, it will take time, but the invitees and the patroness of the year will be very pleased.

Crockery and cutlery Use ordinary utensils. No frills needed! The only thing you should avoid is using red kitchen utensils. After all, this color is associated with aggression and excitement, which does not fit in with the balanced disposition of a dog. Ideally, cutlery should be yellow. But not everyone has dishes of this color. So, you can use classic white color.

Candles, figurines, figurines Decorate New Year's table Recommended for beautiful candles and dog figurines. They need to be placed between the plates. Also use animal figurines. Several (2-3 pieces) figures will be enough. The dog does not like excesses, so you should not overload the festive table with decorations. If you don't have figurines or figurines, you can make them yourself. Even paper or fabric is suitable for this. Candles can be made by melting paraffin (wax) and pouring them into the desired molds. The main thing is that the crafts are created with love.

The “highlight” of the table The dog is a meat eater. Sugar bones and offal are a special treat for her. From offal you can prepare the main dish of the holiday, for example, liver or heart salad. And the bones from the used meat can be placed in a beautiful saucer and placed on the table as a treat for the hostess of the year. To appease the Dog even more, you can make a decoration in the form of a miniature booth (dog house) and place it near a saucer with sugar bones.

As you welcome 2018, try to please its patron, the yellow earthen Dog. Then the mistress of the year will take you under her wing and throughout the year, fortune will be on your side. Happy New Year!

This information will be relevant for those who pay great attention to horoscopes. It is better to choose a combination of bright and dark colors for the holiday. The following colors are perfect:

Confucius said: “In order to predict the future, you need to carefully study the past.” The opportunity to follow the eastern calendar gives us such a chance - to be prepared in advance for what the coming year has in store for us. Knowing which animal year 2018 will be, we will be able to greet it correctly, put on the table those treats that the totem of the year likes, decorate the house so that it will give us access to achieving new heights in career, love and health.

What does the Year of the Dog have in store for us...

If you believe the Chinese (Oriental) calendar, then 2018 (Earth Dog) year will be more than favorable for a person, because the Dog will become his totem. What other animal's year could be friendlier for us? It was the dog that many centuries ago became our best assistant in hunting, in protecting our home and in many other aspects of life. This is also confirmed by the previous milestones of the dog’s “reign”. Here are just a few examples that affected the development of the world as a whole:

The symbol of 2018 is an attentive, compliant and obedient animal, but not without cunning, enterprise and the ability to create an impressive reserve.

Character of the Yellow Earth Dog

According to the eastern calendar, 2018 belongs to the Yellow Earth Dog. Color and belonging to the most unshakable element indicate to us that the year will be simple, understandable for everyone, without surprises and cardinal changes. But such peace is not prepared for everyone, but only for those who have certain qualities of character. In order for the Dog to be happy, you need to show it that you are a person:

• patient,
• reliable,
• conservative,
• able to keep his word
• careful,
• secretive,
• not greedy
• not aggressive.

Opposite qualities will only anger the totem of the year and direct its aggression against you. Neither word nor deed should diverge from the promises made on the eve of the New Year, even if they were given to oneself (to break up with bad habits, get along with relatives, repay a debt, etc.). Ignorance of which animal’s year is coming does not justify bad actions, because the Dog is very attentive and unusually pedantic.

Another side of the character of the 2018 symbol is extraordinary loyalty and kindness to everyone around him. She cannot and does not know how to judge strictly and remember evil for a long time. Justifying your bad thoughts, deeds and actions will not be easy, but it is possible. One mistake will need to be “justified” by a dozen good deeds, then the punishment will not be terrible and severe.

Work, love, health – what to expect from a Dog

Next year's totem is not just this or that animal. It is important to understand that the eastern horoscope gives them belonging to one of the elements and a color that symbolizes their character.

• Earth Dog 2018 belongs to the element of earth, which indicates the stability and stability of this period of time. In addition, it is called Metallic - resistant to unexpected changes, recessions and distortions in any direction, be it family relationships, business or any other.
• A lot depends on what color the totem animal is. The color yellow, according to Eastern wisdom, indicates the attractiveness of the totem of the year for success in any direction. The Yellow Dog is holistic, goes in the intended direction, without deviating from the path, without deviating from an already drawn up, planned scheme of actions.
• In 2018, everyone will have a chance to achieve high performance in everything. But apparent stability will have to be supported by one’s own willpower and determination. You shouldn’t expect the totem of the year to do anything and decide for you.
• If it is necessary to make a decision, then the leadership should not be momentary impulses and impulses, but endurance and tact. The habit of stepping over something, not taking into account one’s desires, the opinions of relatives and friends, the habit of going against someone else’s or one’s own honor will lead to collapse and failure even in small things.
• Another “don’t” from the Yellow Earth Dog is that you shouldn’t let unfamiliar, insincere people into your life and, moreover, establish close contacts and relationships with them. This year, married couples are advised to very carefully choose those who will enter their home. It is possible that new people will cause the collapse of the family hearth. Well, those who are in search of a loved one should be doubly careful - casual relationships will be very dangerous.
• The Yellow Earth Dog is not as simple as it seems - it will repeatedly test your strength and endurance, confront you with unusual characters, whose task in our lives is to teach us to recognize good and evil even under a mask. You need to carefully study new acquaintances and learn as much as possible about them before letting them into your world and your life, but you also shouldn’t push them away right away.
• The Dog will keep track of the correct life positions in our lives even in our gastronomic preferences - it does not like copious intake of sweets, alcohol, fatty foods and, surprisingly, meat.

You shouldn’t be afraid of the huge number of rules and requirements of the 2018 totem. The main character trait of the Earth Dog is patience with everything and everyone, but we will also have to learn to show this trait.

Let's remember what needs to be taken into account in the process of preparing for the holiday and how to appease the mistress of the Elements of earth, who personifies devotion to tradition, moral purity and worldly wisdom, because it is recommended to celebrate the New Year taking into account these aspects.

It is advisable to celebrate this New Year's Eve with your family; you can invite your closest friends. There is no need to organize a particularly magnificent celebration with frills. The dog will not tolerate loud songs, dancing until you drop, arrogance, various frivolities and may be offended.

You can also please your four-legged friend with a gift in the form of, for example, a new cozy house, bought in a store or sewn with your own hands.

Since the Yellow Earth Dog is an animal endowed with chastity, you should not bring yourself to a state of severe alcoholic intoxication on New Year's Eve. The patroness will not approve of such cheeky behavior.

These can be traditional decorations:

Toys;
. figures in the form of a symbol of the year;
. Garlands;
. artificial snow;
. confetti;
. snowflakes;
. rain;
. tinsel.

We have already found out what animal will be in 2018. This animal has all the noble traits - kindness, honesty, reliability, loyalty. A heightened sense of justice does not allow the Dog to exist on earth calmly and measuredly. When injustice reigns around, she cannot stand aside and is the first to rush to help those in need. All dogs are incredibly hardworking, resilient and responsible. Therefore, in 2018, any work will pay off handsomely. The patroness will especially help those who will honestly work for the good of the common cause and defend right interests. But the Dog is not selfish; the most important thing for her is to get the job done. Although, if an urgent need arises, she can provide herself with material resources better and faster than many representatives of the Chinese horoscope. This year you should not conduct dishonest business. The Dog can punish such entrepreneurs by depriving them of decent income for a whole year; it does not help selfish and dishonest people.

The Dog has difficulty getting along in a group, as he always rebels against any injustice, rushing to the defense of humiliated and offended people. However, managers and colleagues deservedly respect and appreciate her for her critical mind, ability to quickly navigate the current situation, and find the right solutions. Although many people around the Dog are afraid of its “sharp” tongue. She will not remain silent, she will express the whole truth to her face, her straightforwardness sometimes takes on threatening proportions.

Despite its friendliness and open character, the Dog prefers a calm environment with leisurely, thoughtful conversations. With her characteristic instinct, she unmistakably determines what kind of person her interlocutor is. Getting along with a Dog is not easy. She tends to make excessive demands on loved ones. She is strict with herself and in return wants to receive a similar attitude from her family and friends. Perhaps you cannot find a more loyal friend than a Dog. She will help in difficult times, even if she has to act to the detriment of her interests.

It is also not easy for your significant other to build a relationship with a Dog. She has a changeable character, her mood can change with amazing speed, and she is prone to cynical and caustic remarks. But people born this year always value family and true friendship. Therefore, it is hardly possible to find a more faithful life partner. She will never betray, will always protect her loved ones, protect her home from the invasion of ill-wishers.

Despite having many noble qualities, the Dog is incredibly stubborn. She herself calls this character trait determination. The dog always tries to achieve his goal, never gives up on the work he has started, no matter what difficulties he encounters along the way. To many, the character of the 2018 housewife may seem secretive. And there is some truth in this. The dog does not like to tell his secrets and share his experiences with anyone. Although almost all relatives, friends and acquaintances turn to her for advice. The dog knows how to give wise recommendations and keep other people's secrets. When celebrating the New Year, try to please the owner - the Yellow Earth Dog. And then throughout 2018, fortune will be on your side!

The servant came down and immediately found and invited rat and then called bull, tiger,rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster And dog; not finding cat, he asked the rat to convey the invitation. She fulfilled her promise, but the cat loved to sleep and asked to wake him up; The rat realized that the cat was more beautiful than her, and did not wake the cat.

Everyone came to the audience on time except the cat; The best prepared was the rat, which on the back of the bull began to play the pipe, which caused delight, and received first place. The bull was given second place for his kindness, the tiger - third, the rabbit for his beautiful fur - fourth, the dragon for his unusual appearance - fifth, the snake for wisdom - sixth, the horse - seventh, the sheep - eighth, the monkey for dexterity - ninth, the rooster - tenth and the dog is the eleventh. Then they noticed that one animal was missing; the servant had to urgently look for the twelfth animal, and he called pig, which was given twelfth place.
