According to Eastern calendar, 2018 will be the year of the Yellow Earth Dog. New Year will begin on February 16, 2018 and end on February 5, 2019. To attract good luck in 2018, you should familiarize yourself with the character of the dog, its element and color. The dog is characterized as a peace-loving creature; on the one hand, it is noble, honest and friendly, on the other hand, it is rather lazy and stubborn. In 2018, qualities such as friendliness and honesty are welcomed. Everyone knows that dogs are smart and loyal animals. And people have a lot to learn from them. The dog personifies justice, it will never betray, and in the year of its reign we can calm down - everything will be clear and fair. The year of the dog will be quite calm and measured. Its performance promises to be quite stable and successful.
The Chinese claim that the years that pass under the auspices of the Yellow Earth Dog are characterized by peace, stability, harmony and tranquility. Therefore, in 2018 there should be a decline in activity in military conflict zones, because the Dog is a peace-loving creature that treats all living things well and is in dire need of complete calm.
The element of this animal is Earth, which gives the mistress of the year such traits as loyalty, diligence, practicality and reliability. 2018 will bring stability, prosperity, luck and tranquility; this period will be favorable for the economy and personal finances. This perfect time to start a family, have children and purchase housing.
For what the coming year has in store for us, let's assess the cosmic situation.
Main astrological events of 2018
Of the main astrological events, it is worth noting the entry of Uranus (the planet of change, surprises, instability, reforms) from the fiery military sign of Aries into the calm, monetary and stable sign of Taurus, which is responsible for the economy and finances. When Uranus enters Taurus from May to November, the financial situation in the world may be unstable. There may be changes and radical reforms in the field of economics and finance.
And also on December 20, Saturn (the planet of order, discipline, structure, restrictions and strategic long-term goals) has already moved from the sign of Sagittarius to the sign of Capricorn, and will be in this sign all year. Saturn rules this sign and will therefore give heavy weight everything related to state power, political movements. For people born under the sign of Capricorn, 2018 will be a year of trials, a test of strength. And therefore, for them, strategic planning and maintaining order in all matters, taking on greater responsibility is the key to success during this period.
Until November 8, Jupiter will be in the sign of Scorpio and will focus on the themes of this sign. And this is an interest in the secrets of the universe, the deep processes occurring in the human soul, esotericism and cash flows, breaking old stereotypes and recreating them on a new level.
And on November 8, Jupiter will move into the sign of Sagittarius and will focus on spiritual and moral values. Sagittarius is responsible for education; it is likely that it is during this period that the revival of the education system, both school and higher, will begin.
It is also worth noting the retrograde movement of Mars (planet of aggression, conflict, war) from June 27 to August 27. This means that during this period of time it will be at the closest possible distance to the Earth. It has been noticed that when Mars is in retrograde motion, disasters and local conflicts occur in the world. Since this period of retrograde Mars coincides in time with 3 summer eclipses: July 13 (Solar Eclipse in the sign of Cancer), July 27 ( Moon eclipse in the sign of Aquarius and on August 11 (Solar Eclipse in Leo), it can be said that the summer months will be the most turbulent and stressful. The end of the year is calmer.
The Great Opposition of Mars! 07/27/2018
The most unusual astronomical and astrological event of 2018 is the Great Opposition of Mars. What is it and why is it called the Great?
This is the opposition of Mars to the Sun, in astrology - the opposition of the Sun and Mars. Such oppositions-oppositions happen often, but not always during periods of oppositions the Earth and Mars are at such a close distance from each other, which is why such oppositions are called Great, and they happen once every 15-17 years. However, each opposition is still unique, since other stars and planets form various aspects, the positions of the planets in signs and houses change. A similar Great Opposition of Mars was observed on July 23, 1939.
The Great Opposition of Mars on July 27, 2018 will occur during a total lunar eclipse. At this moment, the Moon is in conjunction with Lilith and Ketu (South Node or Tail of the Dragon), and the Sun is in conjunction with Rahu (North Node or Head of the Dragon). This astrological phenomenon is unique.
Eclipse dates in 2018:
- January 31 Lunar eclipse (12th degree Leo).
- February 16 Solar Eclipse (28th degree of Aquarius).
- July 13 Solar Eclipse (21st degree Cancer).
- July 28 Lunar eclipse (5th degree of Aquarius).
- August 11 Solar eclipse (19th degree Leo).
Thus, in 2018 there will be three Solar and 2 Lunar eclipses.
These eclipses will be most fully experienced by people born under the signs of Leo, Aquarius, Cancer, as well as the signs of the Fixed Cross - Taurus, Scorpio, and the signs of the Cardinal Cross - Aries, Libra, Capricorn, especially those who have any an important point in the horoscope in the degree of eclipse.
Sometimes eclipses bring fateful events in people's lives. This year, two eclipses - both solar and lunar - fall on the sign of Leo. It is possible that representatives of this sign will experience interesting and significant events this year.
It is important to know that if on the days solar eclipse something important begins, then in the days of the moon something is destroyed. For example, if you want to dramatically change your lifestyle or break off any relationships, then it is best to do this at the time of a lunar eclipse.
During eclipses, there is a high probability of accepting erroneous phenomena due to irritability and absent-mindedness. This is why you should refrain from making serious, cardinal decisions on days when eclipses occur.
On the days of eclipses, it is not recommended to start new businesses, get married, register a business, enter into agreements and contracts, go on a trip, make large purchases, and also surgical operations except for emergencies.
On the days of eclipses, you can say goodbye to what has long been outdated: throw away old and unnecessary things, get rid of bad habits, and also spend general cleaning and meditate on the fulfillment of desires. It is believed that the energy of eclipses will help make them a reality.
Retrograde planets
- 2018 Mercury(planet of contacts, information, movement) will be retrograde 3 times:
- From March 23 (17th degree of Aries) to April 15 (5th degree of Aries);
- From July 26 (24th degree Leo) to August 19 (12th degree Leo);
- From November 17 (14th degree of Sagittarius) to December 7 (28th degree of Scorpio).
From the point of view of an earthly observer, all planets (with the exception of luminaries) periodically suspend their movement and begin to move in the opposite direction. What is taking place here is not a real backward movement of the planet, but a slowdown in speed relative to the Sun and Earth, as a result of which such an optical effect is observed. Centuries-old observations of astrologers have proven the existence of a relationship between such periods and certain events in people’s lives.
My “advanced” clients in astrology, coming for a consultation at a time when “The crocodile can’t be caught, the coconut doesn’t grow”, ask: “Perhaps Mercury is retrograde in the heavens now?”
During the retrograde period of Mercury, delays and obstacles are likely in all matters for which Mercury is responsible.
You should not start new business projects, buy any storage media and household appliances, transport, or start training.
It is not recommended to travel (with the exception of business trips), look for work, sign agreements and contracts, open new business. Everything will not go as you would like. Agreements and contracts will be reviewed in the future. Delays and cancellations of flights and other transport are possible. If you are going on a business trip, carefully check all the documents you need to take with you.
We can expect breakdowns household appliances, failure of computers, loss of valuable information on media. Therefore, it is advisable to transfer valuable information to removable media.
Surgical interventions are unfavorable (except emergency ones). If possible, it is better to postpone the planned operation.
You should not buy a car, phones, household and office equipment. The likelihood of returning goods purchased during Mercury retrograde is high.
You should not start learning and take driving lessons.
People exhibit such qualities as forgetfulness and inattention, and communication, both personal and business, becomes difficult. Quarrels and misunderstandings may arise more often than usual.
My girlfriend once for a roll toilet paper Instead of 18 rubles, I paid 18,000 with a Sberbank card. Either the supermarket cashier was brain-damaged, or the equipment malfunctioned, both are possible. For a long time afterwards I walked around with the check, sorting things out.
Mercury retrograde period is good To analyze the work done and complete unfinished tasks, it is better to deal with current affairs.
This is a favorable time to review the material you have covered, sort out papers, clean up your desktop, clean your computer of unnecessary files, and sell used items.
The Zodiac sign Gemini and its ruler Mercury are responsible for relatives, our closest circle. Therefore, the retro-Mercury period is favorable for reconsidering relationships with relatives and renewing contacts with friends and classmates. Very often they make themselves felt during such periods of Mercury.
The retro-Mercury period is very favorable for those people who were born during the Mercury retrograde phase.
I advise you to synchronize your plans with the rhythms of the Universe to avoid troubles. The pranks of Mercury retrograde are far from harmless.
- Venus (planet of love, beauty, relationships) will be retrograde in 2018 With October 6 (11th degree of Scorpio) to November 16 (26th degree of Libra).
These days are not suitable for marriage, starting a serious relationship, for cosmetic and plastic surgery, as well as to start activities aimed at making a profit. It is better to postpone cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery.
It is not advisable to invest money in any projects, as well as buy beautiful and valuable things, luxury items.
It has been noted that old friends or ex-lovers. If you decide to restore your relationship, wait until Venus returns to direct motion.
And if there are difficulties in your existing relationship, you will have the opportunity for reconciliation.
- Mars (planet of aggression, conflict, war) in 2018 will be retrograde from June 27 (10th degree of Aquarius) to August 27 (29th degree of Capricorn).
During the retrograde period of Mars (energy, activity), obstacles arise that take away strength and energy. People begin to feel apathy, unwillingness to do anything, irritation and anger at themselves or their immediate environment.
Since Mars is responsible for cars, any mechanisms and traffic, then during this period you can observe more than usual road accidents, traffic jams, traffic stops in tunnels, train and plane delays, and equipment breakdowns. It is not recommended to purchase cars at this time. It is not advisable to start construction or renovation. It is not recommended to file a lawsuit because... the party that is now the initiator of the lawsuit will most likely fail in it.
Mars is the planet of business. New projects launched at this time may turn out to be ineffective and suffer from significant shortcomings. Products released during this period may not be in demand due to unaccounted for market conditions or various other shortcomings. It is recommended to postpone elective surgical operations during this period.
