This year this day falls on December 21, 2016. At 13:50 Moscow time in the fiery monkey is inferior to his honorable place Fire rooster! To whom will be lucky in the rooster, and who will be ruthlessly key in the most sore place, it is interesting to know?
I will start with pleasant - with luck: 1. Rats, monkeys and dragonmampes in romantic and loving relationships. The rooster for these people is a "flower of romance", so in 2017 these people will unusually brightened on the Love Front. They will be noticeable for the opposite sex and are incredibly attractive. 2. If you were born a year (day) snake or bull, in 2017 you will also smile luck, especially if the element metal is favorable for you. 3. If you were born a year (day) monkey or dragon, and for you the element of metal is favorable, then you are also awaiting success in the coming year. 4. If you were born a year (day) Metal Yin, then the year of the rooster for you is a "star of remuneration". In the coming year you are waiting for success in the field of career. Especially if you already have your own business or in your plans for 2017 this business to start. 5. If you were born a year or day of fire Yang / Fire Yin, then the coming year of the fiery rooster for you is the year of a noble person. This means that during the whole year in the Heavenly Office of you hear you, help and mainly support! 6. If you were born a year (day) Fire Yin / Earth Yin, then the rooster for you is a "symbolic star" academician.

Rooster does not like rabbits (year or birthday). These people will be uncomfortable in 2017, especially if it is harmful to the elements of metal or fire. In second place is a dog. People born in the year or day of this animal will feel discomfort during 2017. 3. The tigers and bulls per year of the rooster are not particularly lucky, but if the element fee is favorable for you, the cock will not prevent successfulness in 2017. 4. If you were born in the year of pigs or goats, and the element of fire is favorable for you, the year of the rooster will be very comfortable, especially if you decide this year, create a family.
In the Bazza map of the upcoming 2017 active, bright, active
Metal is constantly in conflict with the elements of the year weaklyoman Yin. Fire by nature smelves, I subordinate to myself Metal (money), but because Metal is much, and it is active, the elements of the fire is very difficult to control it and subjugate yourself. That is why cash issues come to the fore in 2017. Everything that concerns business and money will be difficult to control over the whole year. Well, it is necessary to understand that the forecast voiced by me is very general, and therefore for you personally may be wrong. The map of each person has its own nuances that can radically change the picture. Full information can only give an individual forecast calculated by your card. I will tell you about such a forecast in the next newsletter.
Solstice and equinox in the northern hemisphere 2016 - 2020 ... -Spring and autumnal equinox 2016 is an astronomical phenomenon at which the day is equal to the nights, noting the change of the time of the year as summer and winter solstice. We know that the spring and autumnal equinox comes precisely at the moment when our Sun in its annual movement in the sky crosses the Heavenly Equator. These points are respectively - are in the constellations of fish and the virgin.
About the days of equalopenness and solstice.- Summer and winter solstice is marked by the greatest removal of the sun from the heavenly equator. Accordingly, these points are at this moment in the constellations of the Taurus and Sagittarius. The point of summer solstice, moved to astronomical calculation in the constellation Taurus quite recently, only in 1988. Before that, the point of summer confrontation was in the constellation of twins. Pretty slow offset of the points of equinoxies and solstice, is mainly due to the precession, this means that - gradually the directions of the earth's axis, occurring under the action of the attraction of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun. Speaking of the dates of spring and autumn equinox It is necessary to distinguish the date of the World Time (Greenwich), as well as the date of the time zone of the locality where you live. If, for example, spring, or autumnal equinox has come until 24:00 on Greenwich, in countries that are located west of zero meridian, has not yet come this day, it means that local equinox will be considered 1 day earlier. If the equinox has come later than 24:00 in Greenwich, then in those states that are located east of zero meridian, the next day will appear, which means the equinox date will be 1 day more. Below, in the table given by us, you can see the exact dates of spring and autumn equinels, just like the winter and summer solstice for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

There are things in our world, which are unchanged and defined. These include: Spring and autumnal equinox, winter and summer solstice. Winter solstice is a kind of astronomical event, the moment of passing the center of the Sun through the points of the ELLIPTIC, the most remote from the equator of the celestial sphere and called the dots of solstice. 21 I. December 22 - the shortest days of the year.From December 21-2 December 22 - the longest night. The sun drops as much as possible in the southern hemisphere of the sky, that is, moving along the ecliptic, will reach her smallest decline - and the astronomical winter will come. During the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere of the Earth, the Sun least remains above the horizon. In astrology, it is believed that this date is the present beginning of winter. For many customs, it is also a real beginning of the new year: and it is logical, until that the sun declined, the longitude of the day decreased, and now the day begins to increase, the sun becomes more - real birth Sun, and with him and New Year!Living in close contact with nature, subordinating its life to cosmic rhythms, the peoples used this time as the point of reference to improve the quality of their lives. The ancient Russian calendar was built on the phenomena of four seasonal Sun Ilostasis: Kolyada - Yarilo - Kupalya - Svetovit, tied to four astronomical sunny events of the year:
- weak Winter Sun-Baby Baby - born by updated in the morning after the night of the winter solstice,
- on the day of the Spring Equinoxy addresses the strengthened sun-young man Yarilo,
- on the day of the summer solstice, it turns to the mighty sun-husband Kupail,
- on the day of the autumn equinox, it turns into an aging and weakening wise autumn-old Sun-old light, dying at sunset in front of the winter solstice at night, in order to reborn the renewed sun-infant with a collage, re-gaining its sunny power.
And on a low level of culture (as, in particular, D.K. Zelenin) stood our ancestors, celebrating Russian holidays? In their ritual complexes, there was no substantive knowledge of the laws of space, which our wise ancestors wanted to convey to us - their descendants? Scientists today suggest that in rites Winter shin, Maslenitsa and Trinity-Kupalsky The cycles are fixed by the physics, "phase transitions", through which the primary structure passes Universe- The Space Ocean in its contemptive, creative process. Winter shints are stable, fixed, potentially carrying all the possibilities of a crystal form. It rules the male beginning - Santa Clausabout which A.S. Famyshin in his book "Deities of the Ancient Slavs" wrote: "On the presentation of Russians, the sun has a fire supported by the grandfather, under the name of which, therefore, in this case, one should understand the Supreme Heavenly God." Maslenitsa or red hill, which ended in antiquity always on the day of spring equinox. This is the movement of melting snow and ice, the transition from the crystalline potential form to the active, liquid, which is ruled by the creative female beginning - mother-in-law. Finally, green shints or a semic and a trio. Here is another transformation of the gradual conversion of water into steam, plasma, and then in light.Recall biology. After all, the light gives the birth of a living life - green leaf and grass. And the whole "phase complex" completes the Kupalskaya night when the process of reincarnation is included in those who should return to our world newborn children, that is, people.
Everything is very logical: Crystal - Water - Ionized par- light - Green leaf (tree,herbs) - Human.And at the same time the reference point is the crystal. After all, this term himself means literally "frozen light". And, therefore, a person who has achieved "frozen light", who acquired the "light body", i.e. "Saint" - Rishi (or Rush) is: a sage, who has begun that the main meaning of the universe is an eternal and endless cycle of life! There are things in our world, which are unchanged and defined. These include: Spring and autumnal equinox, winter and summer solstice.

The day of the pagan reading Karachun (the second name of the Black Bog) falls on the day of the winter solvent (celebrated depending on the year from December 19 to December 22) - the shortest day of the year and one of the coldest days of winter.

The ancient Slavs believed that he commanded in winter and frosts and shorten the daytime day.
The servants of Grozny Karachun - the beans-connecting rods, in which the tumans are turned around, and blizzard wolves. It was believed that on a bearish desire and winter student lasts: the bear will turn in his burgrole on the other side, it means that and the winter exactly half of the way to spring remains. Hence the saying: "A bear in Berlga turns from one side to another." In the people, the concept of "Karachun" in the sense of death, death is still used. They say, for example: "I came to Karachun", "Wait for Karachun", "Karachuna", "Crachun". On the other hand, the word "punish" can have the following values \u200b\u200b- to fall aside, crawl, "frozen" - scorching, drove.
