The New Year holidays are over - long as usual and, as a result, merciless. And largely meaningless.

I hope you survived them safely - you didn’t get blown up by firecrackers, you didn’t get poisoned by the burnt vodka and the missing Olivier salad, your ears didn’t get frostbitten and you didn’t get lost under the tree... which means you’re ready to go to work to perform feats of labor as part of your organization’s cap competition with its competitors offices.

The beginning of the year is a good time to reflect on our immediate prospects - about what could or should happen during the year.

One of the main events of the year will be the next election of Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin will win these elections, as their name suggests.


I predict that according to official data, Putin will get 65% of the votes, plus or minus 5%. In reality it will be something around 50%. The turnout will be 60-70% officially and 50-60% in reality. Grudinin will take second place and will get 15% plus or minus 3%. In reality, 15-20% will vote for him. Zhirinovsky will traditionally take third place.

The next major event after the elections will be the FIFA World Cup, during which we will see how the German team once again becomes the world champion on the Russian turf, and the Russian team leaves the group from last place and is eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Although we may not even make it out of the group - this largely depends on who we will have to play with at the group stage. But there won't be much difference. Russian officials, of course, will declare the results good and call this championship the best in the history of football in terms of organization. Mutko will receive gratitude from the president.

This is where the success ends.

However, no - there will be another one - Russia's GDP will grow by 1-2%. But this will be more likely the result of skillful calculations than evidence of real economic development. If there will be real development somewhere, it will be exclusively in the oil and gas sector, unless, of course, oil prices rise.

In general, the economy will, like last year, crawl along the previously reached intermediate bottom. She will not be allowed to fall to the floor below, and it is impossible to rise higher under the current economic system. However, maintaining the economy at the current bottom level will be expensive and will lead to the depletion of the National Welfare Fund and possibly even a partial consumption of international reserves. This will also cost the population a lot - prices for gasoline and, as a result, for many other goods and services will rise, tariffs will be increased, and there will be more beggars.

The new President Putin the Fourth will hold another direct line, to which he will again be sent a million questions (although this time probably a little less) and he will answer a hundred selected ones, manually solving the problem of two and a half diggers and chatting up all the rest.

We are probably expecting some fresh May decrees for the next 6 years, in which we will learn about rosy plans to build a digital economy, create another 10-20 million high-tech jobs in addition to those created previously, and provide half the country with mortgage loans.

Over the course of the year, most of the country will listen to their inner feelings and try to understand how Putin the Fourth differs from Putin the Third, where and what has changed, and what to prepare for next.

There will be no Maidan after Putin’s victory in the elections. A certain number of dissatisfied people, of course, will come out to the square, make some noise, and clash with the riot police, but that will be the end of the matter. The level of protests will be even lower than in 2012.

The Americans will apparently not put pressure on Putin in the next year - they will give up on the principle “let him wait, he won’t have long left.” But this does not mean that there will be no new sanctions - there will certainly be sanctions. Washington will try to keep the Kremlin on a strict leash, not letting go and slowly depriving it of oxygen, but not trying to strangle it at all - the States simply do not need this.

Over the course of the year, major world events will unfold around Syria, Iran and North Korea. Syria is being sanctioned, although they will tell us on TV that the long-awaited peace, democracy and all that has arrived there. It’s hard to say what will happen to Iran, but there will probably be a lot of different things. The DPRK, apparently, will starve it out, seeking internal discontent in North Korean society, social explosion and unrest. What will come of this is unclear, maybe nothing. Or maybe something.

UN peacekeepers will probably appear in Donbass. Most likely this will happen after Putin’s elections, closer to the summer. But the situation after the deployment of peacekeepers will not change much, because the implementation of the Minsk agreements is not beneficial to Kyiv itself. This means that the agreements will still not be implemented in 2018. Although some shift is possible.

The beginning of a change in the situation in Donbass could be the replacement of Zakharchenko. If he is replaced, then the process has begun. If not, it means “there are no changes on the demarcation line.”

Interesting and even unexpected changes are possible in the Russian government after Putin's re-election. It is possible that we will even see Medvedev replaced. No, not Grudinin - someone else.

After the elections, Grudinin will most likely create a new social democratic party, which will become an analogue of A Just Russia and in the future will replace it in parliament.

What else can you expect from the coming year?

I hope there won’t be a nuclear war, but the Third World War is essentially already underway - in the form of a hybrid war distributed throughout the Middle East, in which the USA, Europe and Russia are already involved. True, Russia seems to have withdrawn from Syria, but not completely.

The time for revolution in Russia has not yet come. It's time for palace coups too.

To maintain the economy at the current level, there are still resources, so an acute crisis should not happen in the near future. Unless oil prices collapse again, which does not seem to be expected during the year.

Cold nuclear fusion will not reach an industrial level in the next year, so expecting an energy revolution and all the others associated with it is, again, premature; this will all happen in the 20s or even 30s.

In general, the coming year promises to be similar to 2017 in terms of the economic situation. But at the same time, some changes and interesting events should happen in politics, perhaps even quite unexpected ones, both in Russia and abroad. Whether these changes will be for the better or vice versa - we'll see.

We'll wait until Monday... that is, until the World Cup... and then we'll see!

"Not everyone loves New Year.
For example, tangerines don’t like it.”

Faina Ranevskaya

Anastasia Urnova: Hello! You are watching Russian Public Television. This is the program "RIGHT! YES?" My name is Anastasia Urnova. And today we have a somewhat unusual topic. Here's what we'll talk about today:

A woman these days has a lot to be horrified by. New Year is just around the corner. And there is so much that needs to be done: think through the menu for a family banquet, choose a festive dress, advise Santa Claus on gifts... And we also need to spend the old year well, so that his sorrows and anxieties remain with him in the past and do not return to us again, because from the coming year we expect only good things. Farewell Red Fire Rooster! Hello Yellow Earth Dog!

Anastasia Urnova: Well, it may seem that our program topic today is not serious enough, but this is not so, because, in the end, what could be more important than the main holiday of the year. So we say goodbye to 2017 and try to imagine what 2018 could be like. Indeed, everyone had already started laughing about the Earth Dog. We are seeing off the Fire Rooster. When we talk about the Earth Dog, I always can’t help myself! - I remember Mowgli, this: “They called you an earthworm!” And this is perhaps the only association. Maybe you have some others? Do these signs of the Eastern calendar mean anything to you at all? Any associations, Gayane?

Gayane Breiova:No, I personally don’t have any such special associations. But, of course, a dog is immediately such a family thing, it is a person’s friend first of all, and therefore...

Anastasia Urnova: Creates comfort.

Gayane Breiova:It creates comfort, yes. And loves you for no reason. Some kind of unconditional love that is present precisely in this animal. It seems to me that it is a good intention for us to behave this way.

Anastasia Urnova: Well, let's hope that this is what the year will bring us. Ekaterina, maybe you have something? Maybe you know people who were born this year? Because it's really weird.

Ekaterina Semenova: I do not know. That is, you need to count, of course, take a notebook, who was born when.

Anastasia Urnova: Well, you have two dachshunds. This should be a close year for you.

Ekaterina Semenova: I have two dachshunds, and therefore every year Dogs (and I have dogs all my life) is like a big savings on souvenirs.

Anastasia Urnova: That is, you simply invite you to your home and allow you to pet it?

Ekaterina Semenova: No no no. It’s the Year of the Snake, so to speak, you need to buy these souvenirs, these terrible snakes, and give them to everyone.

Anastasia Urnova: I am the Snake. Terrible!

Ekaterina Semenova: This is what I mean...

Anastasia Urnova: I'm kidding, of course.

Ekaterina Semenova: But most of all I buy souvenirs for myself, directly for my beloved. And when the Year of the Dog comes, this trick disappears, because I have my own dogs, there won’t be any better toys anyway. Therefore, the Year of the Dog for me is a year of saving.

Anastasia Urnova: But they probably still get something else.

Ekaterina Semenova: And they always get it, even if it’s the year of the Pig, or anyone else. Always goes to dogs only.

Anastasia Urnova: Now everyone has started to envy your dachshunds.

Natalya Tolstaya: And for us psychotherapists, everything is based on associations. I just looked at the Dog. I am sure that the year will bring us health, fidelity, dedication to our work and family, and true friendship. Compared to the Rooster, the Dog is much better.

Ekaterina Semenova: Oh, how right you are!

Anastasia Urnova: We have recorded this, and this is what will remain. But in any case, we have already begun to talk about the future. Clara, I know that it is also believed that numbers help us predict the future. You are a numerologist after all, so let's get straight to the beginning. In principle, 2018 – does this already mean something?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: There is such a concept in numerology when all numbers add up to a whole. If you add up 2018...

Anastasia Urnova: That is 2 plus 0...

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Yes, two, one, eight - the total is 11. Again, 11 is one with one, again two. And what a deuce is is actually diplomacy. This is the year when you can build connections, that is, you can arrange your personal life. For singles: two is not one.

Ekaterina Semenova: So this is, in principle, the year of Sergei Lavrov?

Anastasia Urnova: It's true.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: And the year of family too, the year of family for people who are currently single. There is a high probability of meeting your soulmate. But for this you need to be active, behave correctly, meet, communicate. Maybe I'll tell you later.

Natalya Tolstaya: Wag your tail and make eye contact.

Gayane Breiova:This is a very feminine story.

Anastasia Urnova: But it’s probably also possible to improve relationships within the family?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Certainly. On the one hand, this is an emotional year, because the deuce is responsible for emotionality. Therefore, do not succumb to any provocations, because emotionality will be present. And of course, again I repeat, for single people there is a chance of meeting their soul mate.

Ekaterina Semenova: Hooray!

Anastasia Urnova: Well, we have begun...

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: And have children. The most interesting thing is that children born in 2018 will be talented, friendly, and hardworking. And they will make a successful career.

Anastasia Urnova: Now: “Dear husband, it’s time to give birth.” Yes?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: This is true. Therefore, you can have a baby in 2018.

Ekaterina Semenova: And if you have already dropped out of the team, what should you do?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: What should I do? You need to enjoy life.

Ekaterina Semenova: Freeze cells?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: No, you need to enjoy life and, if you are single, look for your soul mate. And for this you need to make an effort.

Anastasia Urnova: Well, then, since we are talking about children, I immediately want to talk about names, because the date of birth is something that is with us forever. Here is a happy person born in 2018, talented, creative, wonderful. The name will also be with him all his life. From your point of view, how much does it somehow leave its mark on a person’s fate?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: No, of course, the name is therefore of great importance. But the most reliable thing is the date of birth, first of all.

Anastasia Urnova: And here, you know, I’ll argue with you a little, because I’ve prepared, naturally, and I know the most original names that were given to children in this outgoing year, 2017. For example: Uma, Cleopatra, Akulina, Glafira, Deardona...

Ekaterina Semenova: Deardona is good.

Anastasia Urnova: Wonderful, I think. Lukyan, Frol and Emir. In general, when I read such names, I always think: well, after all, we live in Russia, there is such a thing as a patronymic. And I really know people whose names are Marcel Alekseevich, Leo Denisovich. Well, I'm sure that such a name cannot help but have an influence. How do you feel about this in general?

Ekaterina Semenova: Can I tell you quickly?

Anastasia Urnova: Yes please.

Ekaterina Semenova: When I went to kindergarten, we had a boy, Othello Tarasov. He was, well, a child. I saw him recently - he became a handsome prince, of course, already elderly.

Anastasia Urnova: Well, with such and such a name.

Ekaterina Semenova: Yes. And he was such an ugly child. We all lost teeth in the garden. His tooth is red and freckled. And glasses. And then they treated strabismus - they covered one point with a plaster.

Anastasia Urnova: That's why they did it.

Ekaterina Semenova: And it was Othello. And his mother kept yelling to him from the balcony: “Baby calf, eat!” Well, we didn’t yet understand that it was kind of funny. And when Otellenok grew up, in my opinion, at the age of 16 he changed his name to Nikolai. And as far as I remember, for some very unjustifiable reason he went to prison. Then he checked out of there, naturally.

Anastasia Urnova: God bless.

Ekaterina Semenova: Thank God he changed his name.

Anastasia Urnova: And this is also the right decision.

Ekaterina Semenova: Because in a Soviet prison it would be completely wrong.

Natalya Tolstaya: You just took it right off the tongue, because psychotherapists... It’s around the age of ten that a child begins to understand that mom and dad weren’t in their right mind when they called him. And the child has the right, if before ten, then with the board of trustees, and after ten, to independently change his name. And for many people their fate changes, indeed, differently. They straighten their shoulders and are not afraid.

Anastasia Urnova: They begin to feel more comfortable.

Ekaterina Semenova: I never liked my name, ever!

Anastasia Urnova: It's not too late.

Natalya Tolstaya: Well, we already know you, you made him famous. That's it now.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Does your name, Ekaterina, have an impact? Great one. I beg to differ, on the one hand. Yes, the name has an impact on a person’s destiny, this is true. But again, I repeat – the date of birth is reliable. Why does a person want to change his name? Let's say you don't like it. Why? Because, for example, a person begins to have a bad streak in life. Someone runs to psychics, to fortune tellers, and someone wants to change their name and says: “My destiny has changed.” Here, first of all, the self-regulation mechanism works. The person believes that this name will bring him good luck. Accordingly, the bad period ends and the good period begins. Accordingly, a person believes that...

Natalya Tolstaya: I remembered a joke, sorry.

Anastasia Urnova: Let's.

Natalya Tolstaya: Vasilisa the Wise married Ivan the Fool - and became Vasilisa the Fool.

Anastasia Urnova: Also good.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: That’s why I always say that first of all this is... There is such a concept - self-regulation. When a person is positive, when he knows... Today he has encountered a difficult period, a dark streak, in other words, as people say. Therefore, you always need to make your black streak good. And numerologists say that you need to turn your bad period into a good one.

Anastasia Urnova: How?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Self-regulation, spiritual practices, energy practices, attitude.

Natalya Tolstaya: To deceive bad spirits is another name, a middle name.

Anastasia Urnova: The second thing to write down.

Ekaterina Semenova: By the way, a short anecdote about Vasilisa the Fool. This is also a feature. Drew Barrymore, a famous actress, married Kostya Ju - and became Drew Ju.

Anastasia Urnova: Okay, I heard it somewhere. But let’s take a small summary of what still influences our destiny. I know there is such a thing as a code of life.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Yes.

Anastasia Urnova: For example, a person was born on December 26, 2017. How can he calculate his code? And what does this affect?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Well, there is such a concept in numerology - a technical alignment. Again, add up the full date of birth and bring it to the whole.

Anastasia Urnova: That is, 1 plus 2... Oh! 2, 6, 1, 2…

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: 2, 0, 1, 7. Well, 0 doesn't add up.

Anastasia Urnova: And we get...

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: And it turns out to be a number. The resulting figure is 21. Accordingly, we add the two and the one - we get 213. This is the first number in the technical calculation. There is such a concept - the constant of numerology.

Anastasia Urnova: Wait. Two and one - 213?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Because all the numbers add up to a whole number. Two plus one add up to make three. It turns out the first layout is 213.

Anastasia Urnova: So we are adding to it?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Yes.

Anastasia Urnova: Everything, I understand, we add, because by addition. I understood.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Let's add it. The second figure is obtained by calculation. In numerology there is such a concept of a constant. From 21 we subtract 4. Why 4? Because again, we multiply two by two.

Ekaterina Semenova: 17.

Anastasia Urnova: That's right, 17.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: And again, we add one with seven - we get 178. That is, the technical alignment of this date, December 26, 2017, is 213, 178. What is 213? 213 is the sign of a philanthropist. 178 is a sign of business. And in general, if we consider the program, firstly, December 26 - this day in numerology is called the Day of Inflexibility. Children born on this day, firstly, will be very charismatic. They will always achieve their goal in life. Self-sufficient, kind, energetic, but impatient. Next up are the lucky ones.

Anastasia Urnova: Well, almost like children born in 2018.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Accordingly, they will make very good businessmen, doctors, because the sign of a philanthropist is already present, psychologists, that is, helping people. And they will have a good career.

Anastasia Urnova: Well, let's hope that everyone managed to remember how to calculate their life code. You can calculate it for yourself.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: It's not difficult, it's quite easy.

Anastasia Urnova: It's all quite simple. We will definitely write everything down.

Ekaterina Semenova: I'll write everything down later. I’ll make money from this at the metro, if I only understand.

Anastasia Urnova: Listen, if your date of birth cannot be changed, then you can influence your New Year’s mood. Since we are celebrating the New Year, it is impossible not to talk about this, excuse me, eternal problem. I think it's almost "To be or not to be?" And in general there are such fights between people: is the Christmas tree real or artificial? So which one do you choose, Gayane?

Gayane Breiova: The real one!

Anastasia Urnova: Thank you very much! I'm on your side.

Ekaterina Semenova: How's the country? How's the forest?

Anastasia Urnova: How's the smell?

Gayane Breiova:No, in fact, it seems to me that such things generally happen once a year, and this is all real, this is what creates that awe, what sets us up for the most positive. These are smells, right?

Anastasia Urnova: Yes.

Gayane Breiova:Visually, smell - it all affects. Therefore, yes, tangerines and a Christmas tree are a must, yes.

Anastasia Urnova: And around the Christmas tree...

Natalya Tolstaya: And I am for the environment. I have had the same Christmas tree at home for ten years. I also have a cat all the way to the top...

Anastasia Urnova: This is the next question: how to neutralize a cat?

Natalya Tolstaya: No way.

Anastasia Urnova: I also have a cat at home. And the first year when it appeared, we didn’t put up a Christmas tree at all. By the way, we have a wonderful picture of what a cat is doing with a Christmas tree.

Ekaterina Semenova: Funny.

Anastasia Urnova: The next year the tree stood for a week. On the eighth day we arrive - of course, the Christmas tree is on the table, playing victoriously, toys are all over the house. In general, it seems to me that this is probably inevitable. Surely everyone faces this problem.

Natalya Tolstaya: All.

Anastasia Urnova: So what should I do?

Natalya Tolstaya: Put up the Christmas tree as usual.

Anastasia Urnova: Come home and pick it up?

Gayane Breiova:Put artificial one.

Anastasia Urnova: Artificial?

Gayane Breiova: Certainly

Natalya Tolstaya: Plastic toys.

Ekaterina Semenova: And this year I will put it up... Many years ago I bought a wooden Christmas tree cut from wood, and in front of it there are two snowmen. And there you need to turn on some kind of button, and it’s straight... How much does the tree cost? A week, two - as you like. I wouldn't turn it off at all. And she flashes different lights in the darkness.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Well, at least a twig...

Anastasia Urnova: It can remain completely calm until May.

Ekaterina Semenova: I'm afraid that I'll put it up now and won't clean it up anymore.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: The twigs can be placed in a vase to create a scent.

Anastasia Urnova: You know, excuse me, I realized another advantage of a real Christmas tree, because it’s really too lazy to clean it up. It all falls off, there are these needles all over the house, so you still take it out a little earlier than May 1, which is what I usually do with the artificial one. Okay, the next big question is how to dress her up? Because everyone also has a lot of different ideas. I see Gayane’s eye lit up right away!

Natalya Tolstaya: Food.

Gayane Breiova: Yes, food, food.

Anastasia Urnova: A man without a cat.

Gayane Breiova:Firstly, candy. Yes, I don’t have cats, I don’t have dogs. And it’s not allowed in restaurants either, so in that sense, thank God. Firstly, it can be really very original - these are different citrus fruits, this immediately creates an atmosphere. And you can do it with different spices - cloves, for example, which are very easy to stick in, they are a little spicy. Sticks into small oranges. And you make different stars, beautiful shapes, and even emoticons, smiles, eyes. And just like that...

Anastasia Urnova: And right on the Christmas tree?

Gayane Breiova:Yes, we take straight oranges, this is how we make interesting and beautiful figures...

Ekaterina Semenova: But oranges are a bit heavy.

Gayane Breiova:No, we have a big one...

Anastasia Urnova: Big live Christmas tree!

Gayane Breiova:Tangerines. And in general the pine cones are very good. That is, the more natural it is decorated... In my opinion, it creates a completely different atmosphere. In Europe this is how they decorate – with these wooden toys, pine cones...

Natalya Tolstaya: Sweets.

Gayane Breiova:Sweets. Various candies are sold.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: And then you can eat.

Gayane Breiova:Yes. And the children begin to sort out the candy. I think it's absolutely magical.

Anastasia Urnova: That is, I understand that you are still not a fan of such a classic Christmas tree as it is now. They often put them in display cases when there are identical balls and it’s raining. Or, on the contrary, do you like it that way?

Natalya Tolstaya: No I do not like. There should be a cacophony: both an apple and a stub... There are favorite toys from childhood, which, even if they are peeling, still...

Gayane Breiova:You're making some kind of candied fruit. Candied fruits and apples are very good.

Ekaterina Semenova: I also have toys from my childhood.

Natalya Tolstaya: In a suitcase, in an old suitcase.

Ekaterina Semenova: Well, I keep it. For some reason they survived.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: They used to be beautiful, you will agree.

Ekaterina Semenova: Yes Yes Yes. Once my head was blown - I saw a Christmas tree upside down in some shopping center many years ago.

Anastasia Urnova: Fantastic! My friends have this at home.

Gayane Breiova:It was such a year. It was very fashionable then. Everywhere - both in restaurants and in stores.

Ekaterina Semenova: I think: that would be good! And my apartment is small. That is, if you hang her, there is nowhere to live. And then I took a closer look and thought: what a nightmare!

Gayane Breiova:It's the other way around, right?

Anastasia Urnova: Well, is it possible for once?

Ekaterina Semenova: Well, it's possible for once.

Anastasia Urnova: So you say that you have leftover toys from childhood. Do you hang them somewhere?

Ekaterina Semenova: I won't do it this year. I think I won’t be putting up a Christmas tree for three years now.

Anastasia Urnova: Maybe we can convince you?

Ekaterina Semenova: No no no. I actually reconsidered my view of this holiday. It has always been magical for me, but three years ago I had the opportunity to celebrate the New Year all alone. And I liked it.

Natalya Tolstaya: This is very cool. I also met one once.

Ekaterina Semenova: I like it.

Natalya Tolstaya: Everything I had in mind came true for me too.

Ekaterina Semenova: Well, regarding “it came true anyway.” It came true only after many months.

Anastasia Urnova: Well, there are desires that take a lot of time to fulfill.

Ekaterina Semenova: And I’m really getting ready for the New Year in the dark... Firstly, no one will force you to look at these lights.

Anastasia Urnova: Not like usual.

Ekaterina Semenova: And besides the lights, there seems to be nothing.

Anastasia Urnova: An evil crowd of fans of these lights...

Ekaterina Semenova: If you find the right channels... On New Year's there are wonderful old films that I adore. That New Year, which I celebrated alone, I watched the film “Look for a Woman” three times during the night on different channels. I love him! And you can cook... I’ve never been... You know, once in my life we ​​celebrated the New Year with friends.

Anastasia Urnova: Just once?

Ekaterina Semenova: And they all looked very... There were gifts under the tree and knitted socks hanging. For me this is a curiosity, because I am absolutely some kind of ungrown person... this is such a tradition, and so on. I have it as I have it, right? And there everything is. And we either grunted or ran. They threw grapes, they had to catch them. All in all, it was one hell of a time.

Anastasia Urnova: Did not like? Or vice versa?

Natalya Tolstaya: Entertainers-mass people.

Ekaterina Semenova: And the dishes were all as they were written somewhere. And the clothes had to be the same as written somewhere.

Anastasia Urnova: It's scary to think what should be on the table for an Earth Dog. Sorry, I interrupted.

Ekaterina Semenova: For Zemlyanaya?

Gayane Breiova:Truffles, by the way, are an option.

Ekaterina Semenova: There are different treats. Here's about truffles. I was recently given a lot of different things at duty-free in Israel... I came there, and all our people were selling there. And how come on, give me everything! They gave me two beautiful jars, although they were tiny. I say, "What is this?" They tell me: “This is cream with truffles.” I'll put the truffle cream on the table.

Anastasia Urnova: In fact, it seems to me that you have spoken about a very important topic. It happens that the mood for the New Year is so-so. We are sitting here now so happy. And it happens that everything has piled up, you know, everything is bad. And by New Year everything is the same, everything is bad, but only with sparklers. So what to do in such a situation? Do you need to somehow pump yourself up for holiday feelings? Or are we just going with the flow? Maybe you can tell us?

Natalya Tolstaya: Of course, I'll tell you. Look, even lonely people who have nowhere to go... This is such a wonderful time when you can buy, say, a fitness club card at a discount, come, and there - tran-tan-tan, tran-tan-tan! And the lonely ones swim to the last, until people come out and say: “We need to go home too!” There is an opportunity to meet in the locker room...

Anastasia Urnova: Free, first of all, not lonely.

Natalya Tolstaya: Everyone in the bathhouse is private, so without panties it’s unclear who is who.

Ekaterina Semenova: How unclear? Boy or girl.

Natalya Tolstaya: Well, who is the general and who is the soldier.

Ekaterina Semenova: I would not go to such a bathhouse!

Anastasia Urnova: Only the main things are clear.

Natalya Tolstaya: Fitness clubs, shopping centers. Absolutely no need to buy. You can go to the “zyring”, but hear this music, because people tried, they made the display, they put up the Christmas trees. Leave the house alone...

Ekaterina Semenova: Natasha, do you know what your mistake was just now?

Natalya Tolstaya: Which?

Ekaterina Semenova: What did you say? Tan-tan-tan, tan-tan-tan? Girls, look at me together. "The little Christmas tree is cold in winter."

Natalya Tolstaya: I'm unpatriotic!

Ekaterina Semenova: “We took the Christmas tree home from the forest.” We support the Russian manufacturer.

Anastasia Urnova: This is the first time in my life that I sang in public, honestly, and in such an atmosphere.

Natalya Tolstaya: Many people will try to feel sorry for themselves. And there are a lot of people who have it even worse. They are in hospitals, they are in orphanages. I recommend just grabbing yourself by the hair, like Munchausen, and going to those who are worse off. Automatically, in a second you come to your senses!

Gayane Breiova:I have the full feeling that, firstly, this is excellent soil for the ego. And in my opinion, what is “I feel bad”? This definitely comes from my mind. It is our mind that concentrates us on what is bad for us. And we begin to like this state, because we feel sorry for ourselves. And it is very difficult to get out of this state. So you say: “I don’t have this, I don’t have this.” Or you can also say at the same time: “I don’t have any serious health problems yet,” for example, or “I don’t have any other serious problems yet.” And be grateful. In general, this property... As Clara always says, it is a sign of this joy to carry. It’s good if you already have a sign by nature, but, in principle, this is a matter of internal state. Woe from the mind. You need to tune in to the mind that it is not your mind that controls you, but you that controls your mind, and everything is fine with you.

Natalya Tolstaya: Open your heart and it will immediately become easier. The picture was funny - now and then.

Gayane Breiova:You have already prepared yourself that tomorrow you will feel bad too.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: And the most interesting thing is, if you are in a bad mood, wear red. Well, if you don't like red, at least wear red underwear.

Anastasia Urnova: Here Gayane and I are like: “And we are today.”

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Even when there are, say, problems with the spine, also wear red. This is regardless of whether you are a man or a woman.

Ekaterina Semenova: Is there no replacement for red?

Natalya Tolstaya: Orange.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Well, red, coral, orange, you’re right. That is, fuchsia colors. Why? Because this color gives energy. But what else would I like to note is the most interesting? Each person has his own New Year. Here you were born on January 7th. Your New Year is in 13 days. January 20 is your New Year. Because 13 days after your birthday...

Ekaterina Semenova: So, please do not disturb! All gifts on January 20th.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: You were born on March 11th. Your New Year is March 24th.

Anastasia Urnova: Add 13 days?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Yes, plus 13. This is a cycle, this is New Year. Each person has his own New Year. For some, New Year happens in the middle of the year.

Anastasia Urnova: That is, you can mark it twice – together with everyone else, and then your own.

Ekaterina Semenova: Three.

Anastasia Urnova: And more relatives?

Ekaterina Semenova: No. Together with everyone, then Old New Year.

Natalya Tolstaya: And then Eastern New Year, Chinese, right?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: So there are a lot of New Years.

Gayane Breiova:And Christmas, of course.

Anastasia Urnova: You know, here, it seems to me, at least, people, women, since we have gathered together today, are faced with... There is a month, two weeks until the New Year, in our case, generally four or five days. Need to buy gifts. Excuse me, I need to get my nails done. You need to go to the hairdresser. Let's talk separately about whether you need to lose weight for the New Year. And this heap, heap, heap on you! Plus there is an annual or quarterly report. Plus, it’s always the peak business period. And often the New Year turns into a deadline. What to do in this situation?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: You don't have to take everything on yourself.

Natalya Tolstaya: Who should I delegate this deadline to?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: It is necessary to distribute in this way, to assign some part of these responsibilities to your husband. If there is no husband, then you need to rely on your, say, relatives, friends, to ask for help. And even if you don’t have time to do something, you can always...

Anastasia Urnova: We have an artist here. Where to go here?

Ekaterina Semenova: I'll tell you. I buy New Year's gifts throughout the year.

Natalya Tolstaya: I just wanted to say! I took it off my tongue.

Anastasia Urnova: Oh, like this, in advance?

Ekaterina Semenova: I saw something: “Yeah, I’ll buy it and give it to someone. Cool little thing. I don’t know who, but let it sit.” And this is how I collect it.

Anastasia Urnova: Are you really able to do this?

Ekaterina Semenova: Yes.

Anastasia Urnova: I bow to you.

Natalya Tolstaya: Firstly, the gifts are more interesting. Secondly, strong is more economical.

Ekaterina Semenova: And then, when there are a lot of them, you can sit and think: “No, I bought this. I’d rather give this as a gift, and keep this for myself.” That is, as if there is a choice.

Anastasia Urnova: By the way, how do artists celebrate the New Year? We know that blue lights usually go into recordings. Do you finally manage to celebrate the New Year itself the way you want? Or a concert?

Ekaterina Semenova: Well, the lights are different. Last New Year was the first time in my life... Putin said we clinked glasses of fruit juice - and I went to work. At 12:05 I went on stage, worked for 40 minutes, ran to another stage (40 meters there) and worked for another concert. I never allowed myself to work on New Year’s Day, because until a certain period it was a very magical holiday for me. Just four years ago, if I saw Santa Claus arriving in a taxi to give something to someone, I would drag the dogs behind me, my hats would fly off, and I would shout: “Santa Claus!” And everyone thought: “Lord, she’s a sick woman.” But I reconsidered a little... I didn’t celebrate the New Year... that is, I always celebrated the New Year at home, because it seemed to me that... not because it was a family holiday, but because I believed that as you celebrate the New Year, so it will will pass. And considering how much I didn’t like traveling, touring, traveling, I always thought that if I met in the house, I would spend the whole year in the house.

Anastasia Urnova: Does it work?

Ekaterina Semenova: No, nothing works.

Anastasia Urnova: That's fine!

Ekaterina Semenova: Just artists, if we talk about big, good and real artists, then this, naturally, is a crazy opportunity to earn good money on this day.

Anastasia Urnova: My personal opinion: it would be stupid to refuse. But that's my personal opinion.

Natalya Tolstaya: So you work.

Anastasia Urnova: That's what I'm working on.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Money is also energy.

Ekaterina Semenova: Perhaps if I were ever offered very big money, maybe I would leave home. But since no such proposals were received... Therefore, I have my own wedding, they have their own wedding.

Anastasia Urnova: Well, you also have the right to such a decision. The main thing is to have fun. Gayane, it seems to me that things are happening differently with you.

Gayane Breiova:First of all, I'm a restaurateur. And I endlessly love holidays, because we create them ourselves, we initiate them, cultivate them, create them. And great joy when I see that... Well, first of all, I haven’t celebrated at home for twenty years. Well, maybe once or twice. Always in a restaurant, always in a restaurant. And we are working.

Ekaterina Semenova: That is, in restaurants as a child, or what?

Gayane Breiova:Since '94. Already 24 years old.

Anastasia Urnova: Child labor is prohibited in Russia, by the way.

Ekaterina Semenova: How complimentary I am now, right?

Gayane Breiova:I'm very pleased. As a matter of fact, every time it is really, on the one hand, a lot of stress, because the whole team... I see - 70 people are working at the same time in order to create all the conditions so that guests come to us and they are happy. And when you see this state, literally families love each other... And you treat them, create a program. It's a lot of stress, a lot of stress, but it's fantastic!

Anastasia Urnova: You sit and charge.

Natalya Tolstaya: In the hall the guests are squealing everything. They're squealing!

Gayane Breiova:Last year I even did it myself. I usually don’t, because I control, as it were, two restaurants: “How are the guests? Is everything okay?” And for two years in a row, at this minute, five minutes to twelve... And all the guests say: “Will you have Putin?” I say: “Of course it will. There’s no way without it. We have Putin on screens everywhere.” Five minutes to twelve (and we check everything technically) turns off! And it was just terrible because...

Natalya Tolstaya: Panic, right?

Gayane Breiova:This is terrible panic!

Anastasia Urnova: Certainly. People will not have a New Year.

Gayane Breiova:But we understood from last year that this could happen. We made a recording.

Ekaterina Semenova: Last year?

Gayane Breiova:No, not last year. We are going...

Anastasia Urnova: In other regions where it has already occurred.

Gayane Breiova:In other regions. We have a recording. And we are all prepared that if suddenly the same thing happens again... Miracles! Everything works - and turns off as soon as Putin has to speak.

Anastasia Urnova: It is clear that you are, of course, an experienced person. "We guessed it, we made a recording from Vladivostok."

Gayane Breiova: And let's turn it on.

Anastasia Urnova: Brilliant!

Ekaterina Semenova: Half a second more. I also remembered why I was at home for New Year. In principle, I don’t work when people are eating. I have this setup. I can't. And then, when everyone is eating, my stomach growls. And I'm angry. I'm as angry as a dog. I hate them. That’s why I don’t work on New Year’s either.

Gayane Breiova:You need to come to the restaurant ten minutes in advance, they will feed you - and then you will leave happy.

Natalya Tolstaya: How will she sing?

Ekaterina Semenova: When I'm fed, I start burping.

Gayane Breiova: That's it, I understand.

Anastasia Urnova: This could, of course, harm the concert. Listen, since we’re talking about food, let’s continue, because I myself can already smell these smells of the New Year’s table. And then there are a million questions. Meat or fish? Red or white? In general, we were somehow preparing with friends for the New Year and discovered this... We called it “the trinity of the festive Russian table”: cheese, mayonnaise, garlic. We realized that...

Ekaterina Semenova: This is actually a Jewish dish.

Anastasia Urnova: Well, not all together. By the way, everything happens together too. But no matter what, you can’t get anywhere without mayonnaise. Or are we still wrong? Should I cook something else? Share how you prefer to do this.

Gayane Breiova:Well, it's probably on me, right?

Anastasia Urnova: Let's start with you, of course.

Gayane Breiova: Firstly…

Natalya Tolstaya: This is how you manage? The entire team, the Three Minnows tavern, is always making salad, then another, then another...

Anastasia Urnova: Specialists are working.

Gayane Breiova:The work is done by professionals who love this business. Naturally, this is absolutely our job. But I felt that lately guests really want to please guests at home. And so we immediately created this menu, a banquet menu, when guests can call in advance and receive everything on the 30th and 31st, and take it all home. We will deliver it directly on the 31st - and their entire table will be set. This is wonderful. Women also really like to surprise their men, because we think through these things too.

Anastasia Urnova: They take it and pretend to cook it.

Gayane Breiova:They take it away. And it was as if she had cooked it. This is how everything opens, mixed and done. Amazing! Moreover, if we understand that we like such taste preferences as mayonnaise, then there is nothing wrong with that. But we went a little further...

Anastasia Urnova: This is a very unconventional opinion that there is nothing wrong with it, sorry.

Gayane Breiova:Nothing bad. In general, fats are very healthy and wonderful. I'm not a nutritionist. Therefore, I want to say that... But at the same time, we know how to prepare homemade mayonnaise, we prepare it ourselves so that it is a little less supposedly harmful. Or cook, for example, even for vegetarians, for raw foodists. That is, we think it through.

Anastasia Urnova: Are there any special tricks for this New Year?

Gayane Breiova:You know, in fact, of course, dogs love meat, and therefore we will have a lot of meat. And we always traditionally prepare traditional dishes. I believe that on New Year's Day... You can, of course, overthink it, but it is very important to feel what has been very natural for us over the many years of our existence. We love Olivier. And you have to eat Olivier, and it’s wonderful. Why not vinaigrette and herring under a fur coat? Why aren't banquet dishes wonderful?

Anastasia Urnova: The answer is "of course yes."

Gayane Breiova:Why not make jellied meat? And the cake, and everything, and champagne. That's why I'm for traditional food.

Anastasia Urnova: Clara, what about you?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: I can’t even imagine a New Year’s table without Olivier, classic Olivier.

Anastasia Urnova: I support you all so much! A bowl of tangerines and Olivier.

Ekaterina Semenova: Sausage.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Well, once a year you can afford to eat Olivier, these salads, mimosas.

Anastasia Urnova: The herring under the fur coat is the same.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: You can allow it once a year.

Gayane Breiova:More than once. You need to constantly allow yourself. The main thing is on time, correctly and in moderation.

Natalya Tolstaya: It’s just that many people have a diet, a diet, a diet in order to fit into a dress. And then the New Year came - and she took everything with prisoners. Then there's this chipmunk! It happens...

Anastasia Urnova: I get the feeling that everyone sitting here is not losing weight for the New Year. It’s just that everyone on social networks seems to be losing weight for the New Year.

Natalya Tolstaya: Fitonyashki is not about us.

Gayane Breiova:That’s why you are so thin and slender. And I gave a compliment!

Anastasia Urnova: I’m actually glad that this problem doesn’t exist, because usually everyone just discusses this. We were just talking about fitness clubs. “Come on, let’s do it in time for the New Year.” God bless him. What about alcohol? Champagne, wine, vodka, whiskey? The variety is fantastic.

Gayane Breiova: In moderation.

Anastasia Urnova: Let's move on to the next topic - in moderation.

Natalya Tolstaya: Where is the measure?

Gayane Breiova:Everyone has their own. For example, after one glass of wine I fall asleep, so I don’t drink, unfortunately.

Anastasia Urnova: Doesn't it depend on the company?

Gayane Breiova:But if I drink cognac, I will feel good. That's why my drink is cognac. I don’t fall asleep and I don’t get drunk, I feel good.

Natalya Tolstaya: And you sing, dance.

Gayane Breiova:Am I singing and dancing? I sometimes dance, but I can’t sing at all, so I... No, actually, it seems to me that this is a question of moderation. This also has something to do with food. Fatty foods do not make you feel better. You just need to understand this.

Anastasia Urnova: Well, from the volume, probably.

Gayane Breiova:They get better from volume. The opposite is true for fatty foods. They are already talking about this now. Animal fats – even more so.

Anastasia Urnova: Skin, hair, nails.

Gayane Breiova:Woman's hair. They get better from carbohydrates, they get better from sweets, they get better from starchy foods.

Natalya Tolstaya: From fast carbohydrates.

Gayane Breiova:You get better from fast carbohydrates.

Anastasia Urnova: I'm on my wavelength now.

Gayane Breiova:Yes, from fast carbohydrates. Well, it's sugar. Sugar, flour and everything. And if our carbohydrates are porridge or wild spelt, then please. You will never gain weight with ghee. Fruits make you feel better. Fruits make you feel better, you know?

Natalya Tolstaya: And we lose weight on them.

Anastasia Urnova: Yes it's true.

Gayane Breiova:Grapes - sucrose.

Anastasia Urnova: Okay, let's get out of here.

Gayane Breiova:New Year is not about that.

Natalya Tolstaya: The theme is girly.

Anastasia Urnova: Scary topic! Let's not talk about this. You know, a very important topic for me when we talk about the New Year is, of course, the topic of making wishes. And she, in general, is next to alcohol, because...

Gayane Breiova:"Faster! Quickly!" Yes?

Anastasia Urnova: No, I'll explain why. Firstly, yes, absolutely right, because one of the ways to make a wish (probably many people know) is to write your wish on a piece of paper, and when the clock starts striking 12, you need to set it on fire, throw it into a glass of champagne, absolutely right, and have time to drink with this ashes. The apogee, of course, is to crawl under the table, do everything the same and still have time to eat 12 grapes. Well, it's like...

Gayane Breiova:Is there even such a thing?

Anastasia Urnova: I saw it.

Ekaterina Semenova: 12 grapes in any year?

Anastasia Urnova: Yes, because the clock strikes 12 times.

Ekaterina Semenova: And exactly the grapes?

Anastasia Urnova: Yes. This came to us from Spain.

Natalya Tolstaya: And there is a mouth covered in soot. And you still have to get the rest of your desires out of the glass.

Anastasia Urnova: Share how you make wishes for the New Year.

Natalya Tolstaya: This is how I make a wish.

Anastasia Urnova: Under the table?

Natalya Tolstaya: No table.

Anastasia Urnova: God bless.

Natalya Tolstaya: And no grapes. How many times I made a wish - how many times it also came true. It seems to me that everything is magical. From moving to Moscow to ordering: “I want the best person on Earth to come. I don’t need ten, but one.” And he came exactly this year.

Gayane Breiova:Can you write in advance?

Natalya Tolstaya: Yes, write in advance, put matches. That is a second...

Anastasia Urnova: This is the most important question. What about the wording? Because it is known: “I want to get married, but out of mutual love, and not just some tyrant.” Sorry, “I want to lose weight, but healthy, not from illness.” Well, desire is a dangerous thing in general.

Natalya Tolstaya: It's clear. And so that there is no particle “not”, it should be shorter and a very small leaf. If it's a napkin, then I...

Gayane Breiova:Tell me, this is how you made your wish.

Anastasia Urnova: Specifically, please.

Natalya Tolstaya: I asked directly from heaven. It so happened that I arrived in Miami, and there was a sky that went, sea to sky, there was no border at all. And I, apparently, looked into this Bermuda Triangle and said: “That’s it! I’m now ready for a person to come. I can give up everything, that’s everything I did before, up to this second, in order to be happy with him.” .

Gayane Breiova:Sincere intention.

Natalya Tolstaya: Apparently, I shouted it so loudly into the sky. I've arrived. New Year, of course, in Russia. I take a small piece of paper (there are always matches in place), I lit it, wrote it with a black pen, quickly stirred it and drank it. Do not take large paper.

Gayane Breiova:Wait. Did you write at this moment or did you write in advance?

Natalya Tolstaya: I always write in advance, in advance.

Anastasia Urnova: In advance, what is the intention, first look at the sky, then into the glass. I think this intention really worked.

Natalya Tolstaya: Yes, the most important thing here is to seriously want it, because someone wants change, but doesn’t want to change anything at the same time.

Anastasia Urnova: Or he wants to, but is actually afraid, because we often...

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Not active.

Natalya Tolstaya: Yes.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Do you remember those years when I told you: “No, not your man”?

Natalya Tolstaya: Yes Yes.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: She said: “No, mine.” I say: “It’s not yours, it won’t be at all.”

Natalya Tolstaya: Indeed, indeed it was so.

Anastasia Urnova: And she's right, right?

Natalya Tolstaya: Such a man came to me, she said: “But this one is yours, forever, you will be happy.” And that's it, I got married.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: So you too need...

Anastasia Urnova: How you do it, well, you’re definitely making a wish.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: You know, in fact, due to the fact that I have been working with numbers for many years, I am a numerologist, I know what will happen to me in January, February and generally in the middle of the year.

Anastasia Urnova: It's boring to live, it's boring to live.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: And in general, I know what my loved ones have. Therefore, for me, let’s say, a wish... I really want to dream, but, unfortunately, I actually can’t dream, there’s just a certain pattern. The attitude towards this is another matter. But there is also such a concept, you know, by the way, today I would like to note for the TV viewer how a person can attract good luck to himself. Can we talk about this?

Anastasia Urnova: Need to.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Yes?

Anastasia Urnova: You ask.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Let’s say, regardless - a woman, a man, because there is no such thing in numerology, a man, a woman - if people were born, say, from December 23 to January 22... You enter into this, people should behave according to their code behavior to attract good luck. People born during this period should seek help. They must use people, well, in a good way. That is, they should not be afraid to ask relatives, friends, acquaintances to help them. Naturally, career growth comes first for them. People who were born from January 23 to February 20 (you are one of them), this category of people must change everything in their lives. Especially women. If you want a man in your life, you have to have a lot of flirting. Then a real man will come into your life.

Natalya Tolstaya: I'll change all the curtains, yes.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Further, this is you and me, the period begins from February 20 to March 21 - these are people who should behave festively. That is, they should be smiling, should never be sad, should never worry. That’s when life will turn, and it will turn in the way it will always be...

Anastasia Urnova: I look at you, it seems to me that you are doing everything right. Let's grab the next one, I'll get there.

Ekaterina Semenova: While I'm here, I have to ask. Girls, I need good jeans.

Natalya Tolstaya: For jellied meat.

Gayane Breiova:How can jellied meat help?

Ekaterina Semenova: I want a bag, an expensive bag. To you: you can just give me some money.

Natalya Tolstaya: Fine.

Ekaterina Semenova: Clara…

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: And your forecast for the year. Day by day, yes.

Ekaterina Semenova: And from you it’s just help. I did it!

Anastasia Urnova: And I will take advantage of my work. Here they ask for a bag - please give the person a bag.

Ekaterina Semenova: Only very expensive.

Anastasia Urnova: Very expensive.

Gayane Breiova:And this happens, by the way.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Which one do you prefer?

Ekaterina Semenova: I don’t understand this, I’m just darling.

Anastasia Urnova: This means it must be branded.

Ekaterina Semenova: Yes.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: And your luck will turn around.

Anastasia Urnova: Ekaterina, seriously, have you ever had such cases when you made a wish and it came true?

Ekaterina Semenova: Honestly?

Anastasia Urnova: Certainly.

Ekaterina Semenova: No.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Try writing on the Internet.

Ekaterina Semenova: Maybe because I rarely think about what to wish for, maybe.

Anastasia Urnova: Maybe we can at least convince you of this?

Ekaterina Semenova: Why? No no. Or maybe because I’m afraid that it won’t come true, I don’t make a wish.

Natalya Tolstaya: I had a miracle, I had a miracle once.

Anastasia Urnova: Which?

Natalya Tolstaya: I wrote on the Internet that all my life I wanted to play the guitar, and if only I had a guitar. You can’t imagine, after a while someone rang my doorbell, there was a man standing there, I saw him for the first and last time. He handed me a guitar in a case and said: “This is for you, because you asked heaven for it.” I never saw him again.

Ekaterina Semenova: Listen, you know how to make wishes.

Natalya Tolstaya: Honestly, it happened in my life.

Ekaterina Semenova: Good guitar?

Natalya Tolstaya: Good.

Ekaterina Semenova: Do you have any left?

Natalya Tolstaya: Yes.

Ekaterina Semenova: Have you learned to play?

Natalya Tolstaya: Not yet, but...

Anastasia Urnova: But it is there.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: I think after this program you also have a beautiful bag...

Ekaterina Semenova: Will you give me a guitar?

Natalya Tolstaya: How it will explode!

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: A beautiful bag.

Ekaterina Semenova: Ah, a beautiful bag.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Because you have a lot of fans. Yes it's true.

Ekaterina Semenova: Or maybe it could be another way: “Ekaterina, don’t show off, here’s a guitar for you.”

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Nothing like this.

Anastasia Urnova: We have to break your mood. Ekaterina Semenova wants a bag, we need to get it.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Everyone loves you, there will be a person who will actually fulfill your desire.

Ekaterina Semenova: Fine.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: In general, it is so accessible.

Gayane Breiova:Klarochka, we are waiting for the prediction, because my daughter is there, during this period.

Anastasia Urnova: Yes, just the next period, where I end up, from March to the end of April.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Oh, since March, right? Since March, in fact, this is, of course...

Anastasia Urnova: Taurus.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Taurus. And, from what date?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Well, yes. Well what can I say? Firstly, you were born on such an interesting date, it’s called the control corridor. You have to do management. You must always be in charge. It may be a small business, but it will be yours. And you should never get attached to anyone, because you are so sensitive, soulful...

Anastasia Urnova: It's about me.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Patient, fair. I don't ask about the year. Or can you name it?

Anastasia Urnova: Then I'll tell you.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Now, you must build independent relationships. If you become too attached, then you will be betrayed. This is the biggest problem. But you are actually loved by everyone.

Anastasia Urnova: Well everything is fine. Thank you. I need to get over this moment, I think I’m already blushing. The dress is not visible against the background. I’ll share my way of making wishes, because I think it’s good and effective, and I’ve been doing this for probably ten years. And in fact, I gave up on these... No, at 12 o’clock at night I make one wish, the most important thing, of course. I'm just trying to have time to drink a glass of champagne. But I also sit down and set myself goals for the next year. That’s exactly what I’m writing: goals for now 2018. And I’m writing something that, from my point of view, is, of course, fantasy, but based on the laws of physics, it can come true in a year. Here are 10, 15, how many of them I have. You know, they really do come true. I don’t know how, periodically, I remember, I wrote to myself - I want to earn such and such an amount. She wasn’t lying next to me at all, it was impossible – or something else. You write, you forget, at the end of the year - listen, I wrote goals for myself. You open it and there it is! So I actually really advise anyone who still has these things...

Natalya Tolstaya: A very good way. And if the plans are written in black, add in blue what else is possible, and write in red what happened just like that. And when you look towards the end of the year, there is something to drink to.

Anastasia Urnova: Yes, yes, that too. You know, there’s probably very little we haven’t discussed yet about how to celebrate the New Year. We didn't talk about gifts, maybe we'll have time. The question is still where. Because some people prefer to stay at home, others want to leave. Now, if you leave, then it should still be snow all around, because it’s New Year, or somewhere in the palm trees? What's the best thing to do here?

Ekaterina Semenova: Can I say?

Anastasia Urnova: Yes.

Ekaterina Semenova: I arrived from Sochi a few days ago. I was there for a week at the film festival, and everything was green there, 17–19 degrees. And after another performance, quite late at night, they gave me a luxury car, imagine, the chair takes you like that. And he also says: “Massage?” I say: “Is it possible?” Everything began to seethe there, and I said: “Let’s go to Moscow.” And here we go, green, beautiful. And suddenly such a bright inscription: “Happy New Year!”

Anastasia Urnova: Where is it?

Ekaterina Semenova: In Sochi. And I saw...

Anastasia Urnova: Where is the inscription?

Ekaterina Semenova: In the bushes.

Anastasia Urnova: In the bushes?

Ekaterina Semenova: And I turned around, I said: “Stunned, or what? Happy New Year?” And the driver looked at me like that... “Oh, well, yes,” I say, “it’s December.” This is so incompatible, at least in my brain, because New Year means snow, Snow Maiden, Father Frost, and here it’s summer, and “Happy New Year.”

Natalya Tolstaya: I was once in Bali, foam snow, and a black man - Santa Claus. Suddenly.

Anastasia Urnova: In general, we now sympathize with our friends in Thailand, I think, and do not envy them.

Natalya Tolstaya: So black, so handsome, so pumped up, wow!

Ekaterina Semenova: Afros... what are they called correctly?

Natalya Tolstaya: African American.

Anastasia Urnova: Depending on where you saw it, it was Afro-someone. Well, how are you, Gayane?

Natalya Tolstaya: He was darling, darling.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: I was in Goa last year. Of course, a completely different perception. New Year is still associated with snow.

Anastasia Urnova: Snowman.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Yes Yes Yes.

Natalya Tolstaya: I like it too, yes I like it.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: I would like to. I decided not to travel anymore, absolutely.

Anastasia Urnova: I got there on skis myself.

Natalya Tolstaya: Snow in winter.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: I don’t like it, winter should be winter. And the New Year should be real.

Gayane Breiova:Last year I was absolutely amazed. I came to Yerevan because I usually go to Yerevan only in the summer, of my own free will. And I was so happy, because that’s where I saw real snow, unlike Moscow. There was so much snow there.

Anastasia Urnova: Two years ago it was raining there.

Gayane Breiova:And last year there was a lot of snow.

Natalya Tolstaya: We also fell into this snow.

Gayane Breiova: Yes?

Natalya Tolstaya: Our grader is higher than the roof, higher than the windows.

Gayane Breiova:Fantastic! And it's crispy and white. I say: “Oh my God, I haven’t seen this in Moscow for a long time.” So this feeling is, of course, fantastic, I like winter.

Anastasia Urnova: Oh, great. But how will you celebrate this New Year? You already have plans, do you already understand? Share what you will do.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: I will celebrate the New Year in a new apartment. We literally have to move.

Anastasia Urnova: In a new apartment, gorgeous.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Yes, yes, yes, finally, after five years...

Anastasia Urnova: Are you gathering with your family or a group?

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Well, with my family, of course. My son and his family are supposed to come, and so I will meet with my family. And with my husband, with my family.

Gayane Breiova:And we are going, we have a big...

Anastasia Urnova: Well, maybe you still collect, you just always want to...

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: If someone comes from friends, but in the new apartment you want to still have such a narrow circle. But if anyone comes, you are always welcome. Yes, we have some problems with animals. We respect, but do not hold.

Natalya Tolstaya: This year we bought a bell for a new church, and we are gathering all our relatives, all our grandmothers, all our children in strollers, that is, 22 relatives. And the priest will serve us a service, because he is named, and it seems to me that this is very solemn. May everything be fine, may everyone be alive, may everyone be healthy. Let-let-let us really all be in an embrace, and there will be a sound in the sky...

Ekaterina Semenova: Can I ask a question, where is the bell?

Natalya Tolstaya: To the temple.

Anastasia Urnova: So will you celebrate the New Year in church?

Natalya Tolstaya: Well, we all get together, and the next day or the day after.

Ekaterina Semenova: What temple?

Natalya Tolstaya: In the Stavropol Territory, a small temple in a small village.

Ekaterina Semenova: Great.

Natalya Tolstaya: It was without a bell, but now it is there.

Anastasia Urnova: Listen, this is a wonderful gift. But by the way, when they say that such a crowd of people is gathering, I always think - that’s a lot of gifts that need to be prepared.

Natalya Tolstaya: And we will sing and dance, they are normal for us.

Anastasia Urnova: That is, all this materialism is not for those people, of course, who ordered the bell.

Natalya Tolstaya: Well, yes, we are not looking for fireworks, not for bags. Bags are also needed, I understand everything. But somehow we got together and realized what was important and what was secondary. And we have a kindergarten and a nursing home in one package. That is, we each have our own room. For small children it is one thing, for middle-aged children it is another. Grandmothers all have their own TV. And somehow all this is fine, good, without conflicts. But everyone is together at the common table. And you understand: we are strong when we have so many of us.

Anastasia Urnova: Listen, how cool. Many people say that New Year used to be considered a family holiday, but now give the new generation something completely different. Do you have this feeling? Because it seems to me that this, please forgive me, is the grumbling of adults. The younger we are, we want to party. A person becomes older, already has a husband, family, friends, one, three, five - in short, a small company. Don't you have that feeling?

Gayane Breiova:Just recently, two days ago, we had guests, and I come to the restaurant, and we talk. And suddenly I find out that there are still some places in Moscow where people go to dance.

Anastasia Urnova: A lot of them.

Gayane Breiova:Yes. And I’m a former dancer, I danced a lot, and I had a restaurant, which was ten years in the bar - I’m right behind the bar, and at the counter, and everywhere.

Anastasia Urnova: On the stairs, probably.

Gayane Breiova:On the stairs, yes. The famous staircase, we've all been there. And I want to say that I was so shocked, I said: “What, are people dancing now?” They look at me and say: “Of course they dance.” I say: “Oh my God...” At that moment when I stopped dancing, it was for me the pleasure of getting together with my friends, a good glass of wine, proper food. And it seemed to me that the whole world stopped dancing.

Anastasia Urnova: Well, you probably started going to other establishments, opening other establishments.

Gayane Breiova:Yes, I started to open it. And to be honest, it seems to me that young people are still different, even now, than we were. She's more aware.

Anastasia Urnova: More sporty, by the way.

Gayane Breiova:More athletic, drinks less. Everything is fine now.

Ekaterina Semenova: Now everyone will refute it.

Gayane Breiova:No, no, wonderful youth.

Ekaterina Semenova: I haven’t danced for a thousand years, a week ago in Sochi I danced like crazy, although my legs still hurt. As for the young people being athletic, this is all clear. In Sochi, I met a wonderful woman, a girl – I call everyone girls, Natasha Golovnya, a wonderful documentary director. She is only a few years younger than me. We were taken to Skypark, and she jumped from the bungee, with this very scary one.

Anastasia Urnova: Oh…

Ekaterina Semenova: Twice. First, and then with your back. And find me a young girl, 20-30 years old, unless she’s frostbitten.

Anastasia Urnova: My friend just jumped.

Ekaterina Semenova: No, I mean age has nothing to do with it. Who dances where, I have a classmate Svetka Sergienkova, she goes to Red Square on New Year’s Day for many years, with a company, they sell something, they hide water somewhere - not vodka, though, to make coffee somewhere. It's who likes what.

Anastasia Urnova: Listen, I get the impression from our conversation with you that in general our life does not depend on age, or on anything other than ourselves...

Ekaterina Semenova: Absolutely.

Anastasia Urnova: ...And it doesn’t depend on our own mood. And we still have a New Year’s program, so I still have the Snow Maiden’s responsibility - to give you gifts.

Gayane Breiova: Hooray!

Anastasia Urnova: What I am doing.

Natalya Tolstaya: Gifts!

Anastasia Urnova: We sat for so long.

Gayane Breiova:Bag, bag, bag!

Ekaterina Semenova: In general, it doesn’t matter, as long as they give it as a gift.

Anastasia Urnova: I'm afraid that I haven't gotten the bag yet.

Ekaterina Semenova: I'll be so glad.

Anastasia Urnova: I wish you a Happy New Year.

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Thank you. Oh, Santa Claus...

Anastasia Urnova: I, of course, wish you that... You know, you said so many wonderful things today. And I got into an amazing New Year's mood. I wish you had it.

Ekaterina Semenova: Hooray! Thank you.

Anastasia Urnova: So that you can keep it. May you celebrate the New Year with people who bring you happiness and joy.

Ekaterina Semenova: Hooray…

Natalya Tolstaya: So girls, are we done?

Anastasia Urnova: Practically. So I wish you a Happy New Year. I wish my dear TV viewers a Happy New Year. There is very, very little time left before the holiday. And may these days be fun and festive for you. Be happy. And of course, stay on the Public Television of Russia. Three four!

All:A Christmas tree was born in the forest, it grew in the forest, it was slender green in winter and summer.

Anastasia Urnova: Wonderful!

Klara Kuzdenbaeva: Brevity is the soul of wit.

January 23, 2012 The year of the Black Water Dragon will come, the most mysterious and mystical year, in which not only interesting and wonderful phenomena can occur, but also dramatic events. The Chinese believe that people born this year are incredibly lucky, since the Dragon is the personification of good luck, happiness and high position in society. The Dragon himself is personified as a wise and decisive creature who loves holidays and parades.

That's why coming year 2012 promises us a series of new sensations, events and gives us enormous potential for opportunities. The year of the Black Dragon will present surprises for all representatives of the Zodiac circle, and at the end of the year it will reward the most active and hardworking, not forgetting to punish evil and lazy people. Workaholics this year will work without rest, which will allow them to significantly improve their financial status, climb the career ladder or start their own business. In the Year of the Dragon, hardworking and creative people will be lucky.

Of course it's better everyone will be shown this year by all those who were lucky enough to be born under the sign of the Dragon. These people can be called the darlings of fate; a wise and cheerful Dragon will open up great prospects for them and great success in all endeavors. The dragon is one of the most powerful, happiest and victorious signs of the East. It’s not for nothing that the Chinese say that people born this year were “born with a silver spoon in their mouth.” The dragon gives them a lot, but also demands a lot from them. But he demands less than he gives. Therefore, those born under the sign of the Dragon are constantly in the center of attention, they are loved, respected, and admired.

December 21, 2012 A rare astronomical event will occur - a parade of planets. According to the predictions of Maya, Vanga, Nostradamus, Isaac Newton, the end of the world will come on this day. Such a number of coincidences of predictions is alarming, but it is impossible to say that 2012 will bring great difficulties and disasters. Indeed, the tasks that you begin in 2012 will be carried out with a great investment of difficulty and effort, especially at the beginning of the year. Throughout the year, the Dragon will test representatives of all signs for endurance, forcing them to engage in difficult, confusing and routine work. However, in the spring things will get easier and there will be fewer problems. At this time, you can change jobs and start new things.

To achieve success In the year of the Dragon, you need to show your maximum abilities, think outside the box and show creativity. At the end of summer, conflicts and intrigues at work may arise again, and the risk of financial losses increases. But in the fall, you can most profitably finish the things you started and plan new ones for next year. The Year of the Dragon is good for sorting out relationships and arranging personal life; it will bring good luck and happiness to those who are ready to work on themselves and change. Let's look at the general horoscope for each sign of the eastern horoscope:

1. The Dragon. 2012 is a high point for people born in the year of the Dragon. This year they will celebrate victory and rejoice. However, they are not recommended to show excessive aggression when achieving their goals, otherwise they may lose the favor of the Dragon.

2. Snake. 2012 for people born in the year of the Snake will be calm and balanced. A wise, purposeful and jealous Snake will be able to foresee its fate in advance and protect itself from mistakes, anxiety, and unnecessary fuss.

3. Horse. 2012 will be a good year for people born in the year of the Horse. A hardworking and honest Horse will be in the center of attention, which will inspire it to new successes and endeavors.

4. Goat. 2012, for people born in the year of the Goat, will be neutral. The careless and capricious Goat will enjoy the benefits that others will give her, but she herself will invest little in order to achieve great success. Why bother when she already feels pretty good?

5. Monkey. 2012 is a good year for people born under the sign of the Monkey. The dragon needs them. The role of the Monkey in the year of the Dragon is the main one. Therefore, she doesn’t have to try too hard and burden herself with work, but just have fun. The eccentric and resourceful Monkey is forgiven a lot this year.

6. Rooster. In 2012, people born in the year of the Rooster will be lucky. The indecisive and timid Rooster waited throughout 2011, but in the Year of the Dragon he can show himself in all his glory. This year suits the Rooster. Some Roosters will start a family this year, find their soul mate, or receive an inheritance.

7. Dog. In 2012, people born in the year of the Dog are better off keeping a low profile. In the year of the Dragon, the fair and faithful Dog is recommended to rest. Of course, this year will seem useless and boring to them, but there is no need to rebel and anger the Dragon.

8. Pig. In 2012, people born in the year of the Pig should not get carried away with food. The Pig will have many friends and sumptuous treats in the Year of the Dragon. Although all this will depress her. The main thing is to watch your figure.

9. Rat(mouse). 2012 for people born in the year of the Rat will be calm and unremarkable. The quarrelsome and aggressive Rat is better off calmly doing long-planned things this year.

10. Bull. In 2012, people born in the year of the Ox will also have to continue to work hard. Although the Ox, calmed by the pomp and splendor, expects rest and thinks that the Year of the Dragon will bring him success and tranquility, unfortunately, these are only illusions.

11. Tiger. 2012 will be a busy year for people born in the year of the Tiger. A passionate and energetic Tiger will work hard, but it cannot be said that his life will be uninteresting. There is sparkle in the Year of the Dragon, and Tiger loves it.

12. Rabbit(cat). 2012 for people born in the year of the Rabbit will be calm and balanced. The rabbit can go about its business, contentedly watching the bustle and excitement of others. They won't touch them.

2010 is the year of the Metal Tiger, which means an intelligent and dangerous, brave and cautious eastern predator. It will help some of us overcome our fears, worries, anxieties, and see how beautiful the world is without black glasses! Some of the zodiac signs will have many happy days ahead; for some, a big win in the lottery, a successful investment of money is possible, and lonely Capricorns (and not only them!) will find their soul mate! Want to know what's in store for you next year? We are ready to reveal our cards!

Aries (March 21 - April 20)

Grade

Aries in 2010 simply cannot sort out their attachments, their line of behavior, the amount of emotions, plunging their loved ones into shock with extraordinary antics. Therefore, be prepared to drink valerian when they do the same to you. Relationships will stabilize in the second half of the year, you will find the harmony you are looking for, and at the end of 2010, if you are still single, promising acquaintances may await you. Financial stability revolves around savings. An ill-considered risk in March, June and August can lead to their loss, and in November, on the contrary, there will be a good opportunity to make money. The New Year will delight you with a thick wallet. Health will depend entirely on your emotional state. A positive attitude will help you avoid illness, while whining and whining will lead to loss of strength and illness. Love experiences for Aries are also not recommended, especially in the fall, when chronic diseases may worsen. Otherwise, the usual recommendations for a healthy lifestyle - get enough rest, eat well.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20)

Taurus in 2010 will swim in the ocean of tenderness and trust that will be established with your spouse or lover. All past omissions and grievances will be forgotten, and an almost telepathic connection will reign in the relationship. If you are still single, towards the end of the year, take a closer look at your immediate surroundings - it is very possible that your soulmate is constantly in front of your eyes, but for some reason you do not take this person into account. At the beginning of the year, Taurus's income does not promise to be large, so stick to saving mode. But in the second half of the year you will have a good opportunity to make money - take advantage of the moment and go for it. By the end of 2010, a transition to a new job or a new career turn is possible. Health does not promise problems, but be careful in February - do not overload your body. Pay more attention to physical activity and get tested regularly.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

Many Geminis in 2010 will doubt their feelings, the feelings of their loved one. But you shouldn’t do this: constant distrust and suspicion, both on the part of your partner and on your part, can cause serious discord in relationships and cause them to cool down; this year, 2010, is especially dangerous. Try to resolve all misunderstandings at least by the New Year and don’t deceive your significant other. Gemini will spend this year in work and worries, but your efforts will be rewarded, so much so that you will feel a taste for squandering your hard-earned money. February and May promise to be especially successful. At least try not to invest in dubious enterprises; rather, think about creating a foundation for further growth of wealth. Take care of your health and avoid the blues in every possible way - it is from this that all your ailments can manifest themselves. Be in the company of good friends more often, provide yourself with positive emotions, and nothing will threaten you in 2010.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

Cancer, you like to get into debt, but in 2010, try not to do this, and repay all past loans accurately and on time. In February, Rakov can expect a very responsible and profitable job, which they should agree to and show all their seriousness and composure. Overall, 2010 promises to be a financially pleasant year. It’s too early to think about any stable relationships in your personal life - there are too many external circumstances and undercurrents. However, in the spring, most likely, Cancers will have the opportunity to take care of themselves and their loved ones. Try not to smother him with your love and jealousy. Summer will be romantic - there will be new acquaintances and secret passions. By the end of 2010, expect surprises from your loved ones, both pleasant and not so pleasant. The tone of the body is subject to changes, health can go wrong, it is necessary to seriously pay attention to it and not pay attention to any ailments. “Fight” them with proven methods - daily routine, dosed physical activity, good nutrition. Try to devote more time to your family.

Leo (July 23 - August 23)

Loyalty is not Leo's strong point, but this 2010, try not to take rash steps and follow your passions and restless craving for experimentation. This can ruin your stable relationship. Otherwise, it is recommended to take the initiative and not wait for the weather by the sea: if you really like someone, feel free to make a date with him. This is especially true in the spring and at the end of the year. Financially, 2010 promises to be prosperous, but it is not recommended to take out loans - it will not be easy to pay them off. Income will gradually and steadily grow, although 2010 does not promise financial breakthroughs. At the beginning of the year, try not to squander your savings to avoid crises. Pay more attention to your health. An insidious illness can take Leo by surprise at the most inopportune moment, so listen to your body and consult a doctor at the first signs of illness. Signals that go unnoticed can be harbingers of serious illnesses, be careful.

Virgo (August 24 - September 22)

Being busy and completely immersed in work does not allow Virgos to find a lot of time for their loved one - but in vain. It is in 2010 that he may not be able to bear it and slam the door forever. Therefore, take the time to pay attention to it, especially since in this case you will not regret it. And work is not a wolf; it won’t run away into the forest, believe me. It is also not recommended to have extramarital affairs; they will definitely come out. The best time for settling personal affairs is autumn, and for making new acquaintances, traditionally, spring. The beginning of 2010 may put you on a financial “diet”, but don’t worry, everything will be sorted out by spring. Try to put something of what you earn into a box during the year, as unexpected expenses will arise every now and then throughout the entire period. Also in 2010, it is not recommended to do business with friends and organize a corporate business; it is better to do everything alone. And keep your plans secret from prying ears and eyes. Health does not promise any special problems for Virgos, just watch your emotional state and tone. Smile more often, get rid of gloomy thoughts, anger, anger and frustration from your head, give up bad habits.

Financially, Libra will want something grandiose, but “it’s hit or miss” is the motto of 2010. It won’t be easy to hit the bull’s eye, and it’s very easy to do something stupid and suffer financial ruin, be careful. But the gain in case of victory will be significant. Be especially careful with money in spring and early autumn. Towards the end of 2010, Libra will have great opportunities to earn extra money. Personal relationships promise to be uneven - either “divorce and maiden name”, or declarations of love until the grave. Loved ones in 2010 will be especially intractable and intolerant of changes in your mood. Avoid conflicts, try not to shock your chosen one, otherwise a breakup may actually take place. June and October can be especially dangerous in this sense. Libra's health should not fail, but his nerves can fail every now and then. Try to keep your emotions in check, do not give in to panic and gloomy moods. Your key to good health is a smile and not caring about all sorts of small troubles in life.

Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)

For Scorpios in 2010, love will turn their heads and will carry them along the waves all year long. This is especially true in the spring, when Scorpios can get so carried away that they completely lose their heads. The summer of 2010 will also bring chaos to your emotional life; every now and then you will think about breaking up with your previous lover in favor of a new one. Take your time - your new lover is unlikely to offer you marriage, and your old one can be lost forever. Be attentive to your loved ones at the end of 2010, this will help to improve your shaky relationships. The financial situation of Scorpios is unstable - sometimes empty, sometimes thick. However, if you make savings throughout the year, you will be able to avoid crises. In the fall, there is an opportunity to significantly increase income through part-time jobs, which will help you come to the New Year holidays with a certain amount of savings. Health promises not to let you down, especially if you help it by observing sleep and rest patterns and eating only fresh, natural foods. Lead a calm and measured lifestyle, avoiding unnecessary stress and extreme shocks, then illnesses will bypass you

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)

Sagittarius, in 2010, will succeed in obtaining various loans and credits, but you should be careful - not all that glitters is gold, and mistakes can be costly. July and November can be especially dangerous in this sense, when you can really “get” a large sum of money. Double-check everything and don’t trust rosy promises. The personal life of Sagittarius will be marked by a rethinking of their attitude towards loved ones and a more realistic view of their qualities. Unreasonable and inflated demands will lead to a break in relations, but if the winter-spring “marathon” is completed without losses, then by the end of spring get ready to ring wedding bells. Or you will simply find a true friend of your heart. No health problems are expected, but keep your emotions in check - your nervous system will not forgive you for constant shocks, which can result in illness.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

2010 may bring dramatic changes to Capricorns' personal lives - they will finally meet their soul mate. You can count on this in February, May, June and September. If you don’t plan anything like that, get ready to fall headlong in love and get carried away. Income promises to grow due to diligence at your main place of work. “Extra” money will appear, which in the summer you will be happy to spend on your loved ones and entertainment. The main thing is not to lose your head and do not try to play “big” by taking part in some “super profitable” adventure that may happen in the fall. Listen to your intuition and add sober calculations, and by the New Year your wallet will get even fatter. Your health will not suffer if you do not torment yourself with constant diets and exercise - you need to know in moderation in everything. Eat vitamins. Also beware of nervous overload; you don’t need unnecessary worry.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 19)

The income of Aquarius in 2010 does not promise to be stable - and all because they cannot decide what to do with the money: save or spend. Therefore, get ready to increase your official zeal so as not to feel failures in the material sphere. The end of 2010 will provide an opportunity to make good money and restore peace of mind. The head is entirely occupied with fleeting hobbies and entertainment. You will spend the entire beginning of 2010 on the waves of love and flying from one passion to another. However, by summer we advise you to decide on your preferences, so that in the fall you and your beloved and only one can go somewhere to exotic countries. You won't take the whole harem with you, right? Take care of your health. Follow a daily routine, get enough sleep, avoid overload, follow a diet, go to the gym, walk in the fresh air - and illnesses will bypass you. In spring, chronic diseases may worsen; be vigilant and stock up on vitamins. The end of 2010 will bring a cheerful mood and good health.

Pisces in 2010 can find love while traveling or on the Internet. Don't neglect casual acquaintances - who knows, maybe it will turn into something more? However, the beginning of 2010 does not foretell any major changes: enjoy complete freedom, communicate with friends, flirt and intrigue. Pisces are also not recommended to have office romances. Your money this year does not like risk, so do not try to play “big” by investing your hard-earned money in dubious enterprises. Better grow what you already have, and your income will be stable, delighting you and your family. In the summer there will be an additional opportunity to earn money, and by the end of 2010 you will have to repay the accumulated debts. Health will require close attention and sensitive care - do not overload yourself with a lot of work and physical activity. Follow your diet, sleep and rest schedule. In spring, exacerbations of chronic diseases may await you, give yourself a break, eat vitamins. The best time to start complex treatment of existing chronic ailments is the beginning of autumn.

How wonderful it would be to know what the coming year has in store for you, wouldn't it? Maybe even imagine in advance all the successes and failures that await you? Knowing this, you can always stay one step ahead of expected events. You can make plans. You can even proactively work around some problems before they become apparent. This will not only make your path easier, but will also bring order to areas where chaos would otherwise prevail.

And, although there is no way that would completely clearly and unambiguously predict the future, the Tarot can still shed some light on future events. All you need to do is calculate your personal year. It's a fairly simple process that will allow you to anticipate what's ahead and what you can expect—and we can all benefit from that kind of information.

If you were born, for example, on May 6, and you want to get a forecast for 2014, then the expression will look like this:
5 + 6 + 2014 = 2025
2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9

Since the number 9 corresponds to the Hermit, this is the card for your personal year 2014. You need to look at the description of the Hermit card, and you will learn some things about what the coming year has in store for you.

When making calculations, please remember that two-digit numbers cannot be reduced to anything less than 22, and the number 22, as usual, is reserved for the Jester. For example, with the number 23 you should do this: 2 + 3 = 5.

Although it is logical to assume that with such a calculation system all the cards of the Major Arcana will appear in order again and again, in reality this does not happen.

Just as some numbers may never come across to you or repeat themselves, all your personal years will never turn out exactly as expected. In the year of the Tower, for example, it may happen that you do not have to move to a new place of residence, or you do not experience the feeling that the world around you is falling apart. Instead, the changes may be intangible, such as pulling up your tails and starting to make plans for dramatic changes in your life.

And again, during the year of Lovers, you may not meet your only love. You may find yourself in a situation where you think about what you want from an intimate relationship. However, if you carefully study all aspects of the card you are dealt, you are unlikely to encounter many surprises. And surprises, and unpleasant ones at that, are exactly what we would like to avoid.

For this reason, some people prefer to calculate their personal year in advance. Since the numbers repeat approximately once every ten years, they calculate ten years at a time. Others are not so concerned and limit themselves to the coming year. The choice is yours. But, since I myself am one of the “far-out” people and plan everything ten years in advance, I advise you to do the same. In the end, forewarned is forearmed, and these weapons have the ability to calm and inspire confidence in the future.
Meanings and tips of cards indicating the personal year:

0 (22): Jester
The Year of the Jester will certainly deceive all your expectations; This is a year of beginnings and fresh starts. You might move to a different city, re-enroll (or return) to college, or even start a new career. Since the Year of the Jester can be unpredictable and confusing, and sometimes even frightening, the key here is to relax. Face new challenges with an open heart, gain new experiences and rejoice in them. This is the only way you can reap the benefits of this year.

1: Mage
The Year of the Magician is very exciting and exciting because everything revolves around you and the steps that are necessary for you to be reborn into a new life or change your current situation. You may find yourself starting to pull up your tails, completing long-overdue projects, or even ending relationships that no longer give you anything. You can also get serious about magic. Be that as it may, spirit will rule over matter, and this is where the life you want to live will manifest itself.

2: High Priestess
During the Year of the High Priestess, the emphasis is on one's own self. In essence, you will experience a surge of self-confidence and, as a result, may gain independence that you never dreamed of. You will discover that you are not only able to solve problems that you were previously afraid to even approach, but that you solve them with unprecedented efficiency. You may find yourself wanting to treat yourself this year, especially if all you've done in the past has been worrying about others. There may be a surge in your paranormal abilities, and your intuition may sharpen. This year will revolve around you, and issues that have at least some, even the most distant, relation to self-knowledge will come to the fore.

3: Empress
A nurturer to the core, the Empress marks the arrival of a time when you will be primarily concerned with issues of home and hearth, and sometimes even pregnancy. Although women often bear children in the year of the Empress, pregnancy can be symbolic and manifest itself in some new activity. Hidden artistic talents may emerge and come to the fore. You may also feel the need to create your own hearth, renovate and restore your home, and immerse yourself - taking those you love with you - in luxury, pleasure and beauty. Give free rein to your maternal feelings, and throughout the year do not skimp on expressions of tender love and care. At the same time, it is advisable not to forget about yourself, your beloved.

4: Emperor
Since the key concepts of the Year of the Emperor are "organization" and "structural integrity", this year may be very interesting for you - especially for those who tend to live a disordered and disorganized lifestyle. If this applies to you, then you will feel the need to sort things out and put your affairs in order. Even if it's not about you, you won't have to sit idly by. Plans for the future will be especially important, and you may find yourself in uncharted territory and becoming something of a trailblazer. On a personal level, this could mean making investments for the future or even getting your will in order. No matter how it affects you, this year will be full of unlimited possibilities. And for everything to work out as it should and as planned, you will need decisive, confident and thoughtful actions.

5: Hierophant
Although the Hierophant brings with it many lessons, its year can be confusing. Why? Because it usually involves new understanding, a change in perspective, and a sudden desire to get rid of unhelpful personal views. So perhaps you have to listen and learn like a student and be heard like a teacher. Old views of society and its expectations are being scrapped, and new ways of living and existing within its boundaries are emerging. New ideas come to the fore, and it may turn out that you will stubbornly object to the point of view that you previously supported. Don't worry about what others might think about this. It often happens that as we grow and improve, our views change. But only in moments of such upheavals can we understand who we really are, what we are and who we can become.

6: Lovers
In the Year of Lovers, the focus is on matters of the heart. So, for example, you may suddenly and passionately fall in love, make intimate commitments, or decide to get married. You can also leave a relationship that no longer suits you, think seriously about what is truly necessary for your happiness, and then begin to put your plans into action. Regardless, these decisions will be turning points in your life, and taking responsibility for them will be just as important as making these decisions.

7: Chariot
The Chariot, as usual, brings with it constant movement, being a symbol of activity, but this is especially evident when it rules your personal year. You will probably have to change your place of residence, visit new, unexplored places, encountering trials and problems along the way. However, the Chariot also marks the period of proof, that is, the time when you must demonstrate to the rest of the world your capabilities and skills, proving that you are capable of solving any problem offered to you. This is a year of high order, but it will be worth the effort. Because by overcoming the difficulties that the Chariot throws at you, you add new skills to your baggage, and the most important of them will be the ability to protect yourself and others. This, no doubt, will be very useful to you in your further journey along the path of life.

8: Strength
As you might expect, the year of Strength means testing your strength in every sense of the word. The fact that you will certainly want to create, start new projects, and implement ideas that you have put off for too long will not add to your peace of mind. The main problem will be lack of time. You already have your mouth full of worries, and they keep coming. The most important thing here is not just to find an opportunity to resolve all issues, but also to resolve them productively and effectively. And here you should find inner strength that you have never known before, and a feeling of contentment that cannot be compared with anything else.

9: Hermit
The Year of the Hermit is a time of introspection and solitude. You will want to know who you really are. This can manifest itself in different ways. You may decide to retire and take a break from everyday worries. You may be overwhelmed by the desire to simplify everything, get rid of unnecessary things and end meaningless relationships. You may find yourself deciding to learn something new, develop previously hidden talents, or search for a spiritual path that suits you better. But no matter how this year unfolds, know that as a result you will gain a clearer sense of who you really are, where you are going and who you can become.

10: Wheel of Fortune
When you have the Year of the Wheel of Fortune as your personal year, know that you are in for a fun ride. At this time, not only global changes can occur - moving to another city, changing jobs, radical changes in personal views, and so on - but also turning points that are guaranteed to have an impact on the rest of your life. Fate and fate will play their role, so you may find yourself in the most unexpected situations, or at least in ones you have never encountered before. However, as soon as you deal with them, you can be sure that the reward - honor and glory, success and unprecedented luck - not only awaits you, but will also tend to fall on you completely unexpectedly and literally out of nowhere.

11: Justice
The Year of Justice brings with it exactly what its name implies: justice and balance come to the fore and gain paramount importance. And although this means that you will have to deal with some small financial or legal problems, which, by the way, may turn out to be very simple, such as signing a contract or changing your banking transactions, it is unlikely that everything will stop there. Global problems may fall on you. You may have to decide what is fair and worthy not only for you, but also for others, and this, in turn, can lead to dramatic changes in the way you look at your daily life. In this case, make the necessary changes, but remember that you must remain yourself. After all, the Year of Justice is a year of balance, and if your needs are far from it, Libra could spiral out of control.

12: Hanged Man
The personal year of the Hanged Man brings with it balance in a very clear way, but at the same time you will have to get in touch with your inner and true self. So you may need to pay attention to how you're feeling, figure out why you feel the way you do, and be mindful of some of your personal reactions. The latter will probably be divided into reasonable and not very reasonable. These are the ones you will have to deal with, getting rid of those that interfere with your development. This will not be an easy task. But when you finally eliminate them from your life, you will find that the goals and objectives you set for yourself - even those that seemed impossible - will again be within reach.

13: Death
In the Year of Death, rarely anything truly terrible happens, although it may not be easy. Why? Because it is human nature to hold on to what comes our way, and this year we will have to get rid of everything unnecessary. And although everything may be limited to old things, that is, the material world, in fact, this rarely happens. It is more likely that outdated and meaningless concepts and views will be at stake. Relationships may also be affected, so you will have to take some time to analyze and evaluate. Decide what is important to you and what is not, and then take steps to get rid of everything that is outdated and unnecessary. This is the only way to make room for new, surprising and delightful things that are waiting for you.

14: Moderation
The Year of Temperance, on the one hand, is a year of limitation and self-control, on the other hand, a year of caution and self-awareness. You may suddenly find yourself gathering facts and information, even if you are usually an impulsive person. You may also decide that you are giving too much of your time and energy to others and decide to rethink your usual activities. Questions about how you spend your time, money and energy come to the fore, and you will find more profitable ways to use them. However it all plays out, you can be sure of one thing: before all is said and done, you will have to learn the importance of moderation—but you will also gain the creative problem-solving skills you will need to complete your journey.

15: Devil
Despite your best efforts, the Year of the Devil is sure to be difficult for you. Why? Yes, because it is literally filled with the struggle for power with all the ensuing consequences. You will experience it yourself in your relationships with your spouse and children. You will go through it in your relationships with friends and work colleagues. This in itself is bad enough, but not only that, this struggle will simmer inside you, threatening to get out of control. However, there is a way to successfully overcome all the challenges that this year promises. You just have to remember to treat yourself with respect. Don't get involved in every fight and think carefully before you act. The real victory here is fighting for a truly worthwhile cause. Just ignore everything else.

16: Tower
If you find yourself unprepared for the tests, then in the year of the Tower you can completely lose your head. You will get the impression that literally everything - even things that seemed quite reliable and unshakable to you - are falling apart around you. The energy of the Tower affects everything - work, finances, relationships and place of residence. It can also affect your personal values. The most important thing here, of course, will be to remain calm; don't get lost, be cool and look for the reason. Once you find it—and you will—you can begin the process of reconstruction and restoration. But remember that you need to restore carefully and carefully. A strong foundation never cracks. And, if this time you build everything correctly, then most likely you will never experience the influence of this energy again.

17: Star
The advent of the Year of the Star is always pleasant, since it is a time to receive rewards for personal achievements. This means you can be the center of attention, receiving prizes, being thanked, and making acceptance speeches. However, this trend may manifest itself in another way. For example, there may come a time when you feel that if you reach out your hand, you can take whatever your heart desires. Therefore, you should be careful what you wish for. Usually, the time of the Star is also a time of karmic prosperity, and luck awaits you at every step. As exciting and delightful as this period may be for you, do not forget about those who are much less fortunate. Be humble about your success. And most importantly, don't forget to give credit to others if they have helped you. How you spend this year will definitely affect your future path in life.

18: Moon
Since the Moon is always surrounded by an aura of mystery and secrecy, it is not surprising that the personal year will be imbued with the same energy. Previously hidden facts may come to light, giving you a clearer picture of what is happening around you. Suddenly you can know what people are thinking, regardless of what they say. In any case, the fight against lies will come to the fore, and you will have all the trump cards in your hands. Often the year of the Moon brings with it vivid dreams, increased paranormal abilities and a desire to explore one's own spirituality. Don't give up on these aspirations. Learn to pay attention to your inner voice and act in accordance with its advice. Moreover, do not reject the new skills and abilities that this year can give you. Take the time to develop them. You will need them in the future, there is no doubt about it.

19: Sun
The Year of the Sun brings with it not only warmth and light, but it is also a time of introspection and self-discovery. True, this does not always manifest itself as you might think. This kind of energy has little to do with the journey within. Instead, it highlights your self-esteem, how you feel about yourself. Most likely, you will discover that you are unlike anyone else, that you belong to a separate thread in the cosmic web, and that your actions, no matter how insignificant they may seem to you, affect the lives of other people. At the same time, you will feel such power and strength that you have never experienced before. And it is this newfound gift that will give you the courage to make the changes necessary for your personal growth and development.

20: Judgment
The main criterion for the year of the Court is the assessment. This means that, most likely, you will gain a fresh perspective on things, details will be revealed to you that you did not notice before. Your creative problem-solving ability comes to the fore, and you may find yourself welcoming challenges that you previously thought insurmountable. On the downside, this year may bring with it personal criticism; in this case, you will either stand up to defend your interests, or re-evaluate your own views and positions. Whatever happens, remember that the main thing is to remain sincere with yourself.

21: Peace
The Personal Year of Peace is filled with awe, delight and wonder. This is because it brings with it a process of discovery, and the object of discovery is you! As personal potential becomes paramount, you'll likely find that you can push yourself beyond your limits and achieve things that only yesterday seemed impossible. And, although everything now seems feasible, you still have to work to get things moving. However, it turns out that it’s not all about hard work. Your only limit at this time will be your imagination. Give yourself free rein; just use your wits and resourcefulness to make your dreams come true.
