What a coming year. That the coming year…. Oil won't bite

Almost unnoticed by society, information slipped through that 2019 would be declared the “Year of Granin”, and, as often happens, this decision was made on the sly without public discussion. The reason for such excessive modesty lies, apparently, in the controversial reputation of the applicant. But the practice of celebrating the “Year of Solzhenitsyn” has repeatedly shown that not all citizens share the ideals of the post-Soviet ruling elite, and even protest if these ideals are imposed on the entire people. The authority of the candidate chosen in 2018 for the role of “conscience of the Russian people” turned out to be significantly tarnished due to the writer’s Russophobia, and therefore a new moral guideline is being prepared for the Russians to replace it? Among the contenders there could be, besides Granin, other heroes of the day - for example, Anna Akhmatova (130th anniversary) or Andrei Platonov (120th anniversary). But...

“There will be various holidays and events. But the most important thing is that what Granin wrote about brings us back to the concepts of morality and conscience.”, - said the President of the Russian Book Union Sergei Stepashin at the opening of the book salon in St. Petersburg in May 2018. So what concepts of morality are we being called to return to?

Daniil Granin had the image of a “truth teller” - the writer moderately criticized the authorities under all rulers, but he did not forget about his own benefit and received all kinds of bonuses. In Soviet times, his books were dedicated to dedicated scientists and engineers who fought against careerists and bureaucrats. During perestroika, he turned into full force, starting to remember the war. By the way, during the war years he was an instructor in the political department, mostly in rear units. Granin “became famous” for arguing that we should have lost the war with Germany. He repeated this thesis later, in 2010, showing solidarity with Solzhenitsyn’s position that this is our only victory in the 20th century that we lost: “We won the war. And this is a real miracle". He also said that the Red Army was morally unarmed in the face of the Nazis, that “everyone had their own war”. “The Patriotic War was not won by heroes, heroes would not have won the war”, - these words also belong to him. The man called the “conscience of the nation” consistently defended the position that Victory was achieved not by the heroism and dedication of the people and the country’s leadership, united by communist ideology, but by the hopelessness and despair of soldiers who were afraid of the atrocities of the fascists. Moreover, every soldier “there was a war”. This is a strange situation, isn't it? Scattered, demoralized crowds of soldiers out of fear defeated and destroyed one of the best armies in the world. Moreover, despite the incompetent leadership of the USSR.

Perhaps the most famous statement of the “truth teller” is that the leadership of Leningrad during the siege gorged itself on cakes, while the population was dying of hunger: “One day, after the publication of The Siege Book, they brought me photographs of a confectionery shop in 1941. They assured us that it was the very end, December; famine was already in full swing in Leningrad. The photographs were clear, professional, and they shocked me. I didn’t believe them, it seemed that I had already seen so much, heard enough, learned so much about life under the siege, learned more than I did then, during the war, when I was in St. Petersburg. The soul has already become numb. And there are no horrors here, just pastry chefs in white caps fussing over a large baking sheet, I don’t know what they call it. The entire baking sheet is filled with rum baba. The photo is irrefutably authentic. But I didn't believe it. Maybe this is not 1941 or the time of the siege? Rum women stood row after row, a whole division of rum women. Platoon. Two platoons. They assured me that the photo was from that time.”.

In the above quote, Granin wrote about cakes for Zhdanov and the rest of the blockade leadership. However, after some time it became clear, thanks to a careful analysis of this text famous writer, veteran of the Great Patriotic War Vladimir Bushin, that these cakes appeared thanks to the imagination of the writer himself. “Does the writer Granin really think that if Gorbachev declared him a Hero of Socialist Labor a quarter of a century ago, then everyone will sacredly believe every word of the Hero without any of his arguments and evidence? Moreover, he is a former member of the CPSU with half a century of experience. It seems so. It would seem that they believe in the former now!..”, - Bushin asks a rhetorical question.

The Minister of Culture Medinsky spoke on the “case of the rum women” on the air of one of the radio stations: “I researched this topic, it’s a complete fantasy. This is a lie. There are no facts or evidence of this.". Subsequently, the head of the Ministry of Culture backtracked, justifying himself by saying that while fighting for truthfulness historical facts, he did not seek to discredit the man who is called the “conscience of the nation.”

Meanwhile, today Granin’s work is being introduced into schools, Unified State Exam texts. Secretary of the Writers' Union of Russia Roman Kruglov cited the following quote as an example in his article “Unified State Examination and Propaganda”: “The image of the enemy, according to the writer D. Granin, has always been the most important thing in spiritual life Soviet man. People of that time, unfortunately, were not used to understanding the enemy, forgiving mistakes, or respecting other people’s views.”. Kruglov is outraged by this position: “It turns out that it was not the ideals of goodness and justice that were the spiritual core of the great people, but the image of the enemy. The liberating soldiers, unfortunately, did not understand the fascist invaders and did not respect their views...".

Granin’s opinion about communist values ​​also conflicts with the opinion of the head of state. « Communist ideology- very similar to Christianity, in fact", - Vladimir Putin said in Andrei Kondrashov’s documentary “Valaam”, noting that the main values ​​of the code of the builders of communism are "liberty, fraternity, equality, justice" - "everything is included in Holy Scripture, it’s all there”.

If you read the later work of the “conscience of the nation,” a completely Russophobic image emerges. After a critical understanding of the book “The Man Is Not From Here,” one gets the impression that the Russians are not a talented, not smart nation. For example: “Kapitsa is not afraid to accuse the Stalinist regime of “boorish” treatment of national geniuses. They are a unique, rare creation of nature. We have had very few of them in the entire history of Russia. Those to whom humanity owes its civilization. If you don't count Kapitsa, then who? Mendeleev, Nikolai Vavilov, Vernadsky, Kapitsa, Landau, Pavlov, Euler, Kolmogorov, Arnold...".

With this, he ends the list of Russian geniuses and moves on to how much we don’t love and appreciate them. Moreover, Granin says that we do not want to remember our great ancestors, but the British remember and honor - Newton’s grave in Westminster Abbey is crowned with the epitaph “Let mortals rejoice that such an adornment of the human race exists.” Our compatriot Euler was given only a modest bust without any epitaph. For some reason, the “conscience of the nation” forgot that the International Mathematical Institute was named after Euler Russian Academy Sciences, a monument was erected near this institute, a gold medal of the academy was established, and a film about his life was made for the 300th anniversary.

Meanwhile, Daniil Granin, having mentioned Kapitsa as a national genius, from the first lines of the book says that Kapitsa was brought up English school, characterizing him as “unusual, peculiar, a man brought up by Rutherford and English university life”. In his interpretation, it turns out that our Russian genius was able to become such only thanks to the Western school, not ours. And many of his statements are based on such cunning forgeries in the style of postmodernism. He, it would seem, speaks lofty words about the genius of the nation, but then neutralizes them, criticizing not only the authorities, but also the nation - “We can’t grow up”.

In one of his interviews, the “truth teller” spoke about the Russian people with even greater straightforwardness: “We are mutilating our history, we are depriving it of its humanity”. It was about the blockade, about the fact that we were always forbidden to talk about suffering, chanting only heroism and courage. In his opinion, the heroism of the Leningraders was forced, dictated by the hopelessness of the situation: “Heroism is when there is a choice: to surrender or not to surrender. Throw the white flag or don't throw it. Leningraders had no such choice". Granin seems to recognize the heroism of the Leningraders, but at the same time he denigrates it, further aggravating the negative impression with descriptions of the nightmares of the siege. It is worth recalling that in Leningrad itself he could only be on short visits - on the Leningrad Front until the spring of 1942, he served as a political worker in a separate artillery battalion, and then, until 1943, in a separate repair and restoration battalion, political officer. At the end of 1942 he was awarded the Order of the Red Star “for exemplary performance of command assignments for the repair of military equipment.” This ended his service on the Leningrad Front.

Subsequently, in 1943–44, Captain Daniil German (the pseudonym Granin was taken by him later) graduated from two tank schools in succession - in Gorky and Ulyanovsk. On this occasion, front-line soldier Bushin remarks: “Maybe this is the only fact for the entire war. In any case, I have not met or heard of captains being sent to schools or of anyone graduating from two schools during the war.”. In the summer of 1944, Granin was transferred to the reserve from the post of commander of a tank company at a military training camp located near Tula.

After the war, Daniil German worked at a research institute, at Lenenergo, and since 1950 he became a professional writer. At the same time, he changed his last name to Granin at the request of the writer Yuri German. He became famous after the publication of the novel “The Searchers” (1955), which was subsequently filmed. Granin also wrote documentary fiction stories, including “Bison” (1987) about Nikolai Timofeev-Resovsky. The documentary chronicle “The Siege Book” (1979), co-written with Ales Adamovich, was fully published only in 1984.

In December 1963, Granin was one of the initiators of a criminal case against Joseph Brodsky, which in no way corresponded to his image of a “fighter for truth” and caused bewilderment among the poet’s defenders. Anna Akhmatova put it this way: “And they will no longer say about Granin: “This is the one who wrote such and such books,” but “This is the one who ruined Brodsky.” The only way". Meanwhile, having signed a request to initiate a criminal case, the “conscience of the nation” himself did not appear at the trial on March 14, 1964, disappearing from Leningrad and even missing the premiere of the play based on his story “I’m Going into a Storm.” After the trial on March 26, at a meeting of the Writers' Union, at which Brodsky's defenders were criticized, he nevertheless strengthened his accusation: “I would personally say that with a clearer conscience he should have been judged under a political article than for parasitism. But this is not a matter of my competence.”. As a result of such maneuvering, Granin managed to maintain the image of a liberal and at the same time demonstrate loyalty to the authorities, for which he was rewarded by receiving the post of second secretary of the Leningrad branch of the Writers' Union.

Art historian and critic Mikhail Zolotonosov assures that Alexander Prokofiev, who lost his position as first secretary after the Brodsky affair, dedicated the epigram “The Wise Crucian Carp” to Granin. The analogy with “The Wise Minnow” by Saltykov-Shchedrin, with which “crucian carp” is even compared in the school curriculum, arises by itself. In both cases, we are talking about constant fear, the desire to sit out and survive. The “Pravdorub” himself provides abundant food for similar comparisons, For example: “I went through tragic, very historical times, but most importantly, what remained from them was an intimate feeling of happiness - I survived!” In a 2010 interview, he assures: “And for me it’s also a miracle because I survived”. This is, in general, typical of Granin - not to glorify exploits, but to describe hardships.

The writer managed to mimic in his work in order to survive and correspond to the spirit of the era. He has a period of Soviet industrial novels, there is a period of struggle against stagnation - the strengthening of “truth-telling”, and in his later work this “truth-telling” already reaches Russophobia. Epochs succeeded each other, communist ideals were replaced by admiration for Western values ​​for the interests of the private individual, and the crucian carp, slightly moving its fins, remained afloat. Granin always had a keen sense of what could and should be said in order to be in the role of a “fighter for the truth” and an “honest writer.” This is a very cautious person, otherwise he would not have been in favor throughout his career, in different political systems. He never crossed the line of what was permitted, unlike Solzhenitsyn. Is this not the new moral guideline prepared by the elite for the Russian people? Be loyal, seek your own benefit, do not cross the line of what is permitted.

The past year has been controversial for the republic and its residents. It’s hard to say what awaits us in the near future. But with the help of famous economists of Buryatia, you can lift the curtain and learn about the upcoming realities of the coming year.

In one of the previous issues, we wrote about a trend that is gaining good momentum - many residents of the republic prefer to leave their homeland and go to work in South Korea. For some reason, the idea that you can earn good money abroad has taken root in people’s minds. And they are in a hurry to become cheap labor in another country. At the same time, almost everyone who comes from South Korea, changes his point of view and says, “that the same money could be earned at home, the main thing is to work just as hard as there...”. Perhaps this paradox is associated with our thinking “everywhere is good where we are not.” Our experts believe that the economic realities in which we now find ourselves need to be changed. And absolutely every resident of the country can contribute by simply working honestly and not giving up in the face of temporary difficulties.

Oil won't bite?

Analysts in Buryatia claim that next year will be “less aggressive” than 2015.

A barrel of oil settled at $37 per barrel and the currency became stable. The head of Rosneft expects a more optimistic scenario and believes that the price of oil will become higher. Today's oil exchange rate is not beneficial not only for Russia, but also for most countries. Sooner or later, the oil price will rise, and then budget revenues will increase, predicts Ulan-Ude Doctor of Economic Sciences and Professor Viktor Belomestnov.

The economist is confident that the sanctions list has also reached its limit and America has already imposed all the sanctions that it could afford for Russia.

But another economic expert is in no hurry to make optimistic forecasts.

The decline will continue next year Russian economy related, among other things, to the price of oil, economic sanctions And political decisions. The year should be a turning point in terms of upward movement in 2017 - 2018, - Doctor of Economic Sciences Vitaly Burov (Ulan-Ude) voices specific dates.

According to Boris Kheifetz, a researcher at the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, during the first months of the new year, the close connection between the ruble exchange rate and oil prices will still remain. The rise in prices for Russian oil will be hampered by the entry into the world market of such large exporters of black gold as the USA and Iran. Moreover, an increase in the US Federal Reserve rate will be a significant blow to exchange rates developing countries, including in the ruble.

In January, the ruble exchange rate against leading foreign currencies will traditionally fluctuate.

This phenomenon is due to the fact that the Russian foreign exchange market goes on vacation at a time when the markets of other countries have already returned to work after the Christmas holidays, notes in an interview “ Rossiyskaya newspaper» Heifetz.

We won't drop in price

However, jumps in exchange rates, issues of macroeconomics and foreign policy disagreements should worry Ulan-Ude residents to a lesser extent. It is more important for the population that the inflation rate is under state control. Since it is precisely this that affects the reduction of people’s real incomes, depreciates accumulated savings, and increases the social stratification of the population.

Inflation is now manageable. The Russian government did the right thing by not supporting the dollar, but by supporting the inflation rate. This year's inflation is comparable to last year's, at next year it will become smaller. Last months inflation is no more than 0.2%, and this is normal,” comments Belomestnov and adds: “Next year the pressure on inflation will be more powerful. Moreover, it must be taken into account that old contracts have been fulfilled, and new ones are concluded at new prices.

His colleague Vitaly Burov is of the opinion that inflation indicators next year will not become more positive and will remain at the 2015 level.

Revenue of the year

Most enterprises in Buryatia have already gotten used to the current situation, our experts believe. Some enterprises are optimizing and cutting costs. However, if you look at everything from afar, the situation has stabilized, there are orders.

Flagships such as the aircraft plant received large orders for the following year. Although not in such quantities as in 2015. The past year, of course, has been outstanding for them. As far as I know, the instrument-making association and even Ulan-Udestalmost already have some “outlines” for orders. Therefore, the engineering industry will work,” explains Belomestnov.

This year, the aircraft plant unexpectedly brought in excess tax revenues of 5 billion rubles for the authorities of the republic. Experts also advise not to worry about the food industry, because... demand within the regional market is constant.

Leo left home

The biggest blow to the tax base of Buryatia was the departure of a number of entrepreneurs from the republic. Thus, the tax base will undoubtedly decrease to a more stable figure than it was before.

The negative trend of entrepreneurs leaving is clearly evident, but it is typical for all regions. If we left 101 individual entrepreneur, then in the Chita region there are more than two hundred,” compares Professor Viktor Belomestnov and adds optimistically: “I think this too will stabilize. Patriotic people who know about the concepts of justice and honor will still remain and work in Buryatia.

Stop hoping for a miracle

In general, the population of the republic should not be in a pessimistic mood, experts say. If we remember history, even in times of war, devastation, powerful sanctions, “ iron curtain“People celebrated the New Year with joy. We will begin to spend more money on essential services and products, as Vitaly Burov predicts, and, according to Viktor Belomestnov, we will get used to living with small financial savings.

We all need to hope for the best. We have nowhere to run, and we don’t need to. We must create a good life for ourselves. I always say that if you create a normal level of income for yourself and your family, then the country’s economy will thrive. So let’s not hope for some miracle, let’s work,” calls economist Viktor Belomestnov.

Significant changes for Buryatia

According to government forecasts, Buryatia’s budget revenues will be less than expenses by almost 2.5 billion rubles. From January 1, 2016, the minimum wage will increase by 4% and amount to 6,204 rubles. Starting from the new year, contributions for major home repairs will be reduced for disabled people. Maternity capital will be allowed to be spent on the rehabilitation of disabled children. From January 1, penalties for debts on utility bills for defaulters will more than double. From January 1, 2016, excise tax rates on low-strength alcohol, tobacco products, cars and gasoline will increase. Accordingly, one can expect their cost to increase. From January 15, the right to drive a vehicle will be limited for debtors. From the beginning of the year, a “credit amnesty” will begin to operate, which is designed to ease the debt bondage of citizens.

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

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 regarding gifts... And you also need to have a good time old year so that his sorrows and anxieties remain with him in the past and do not return to us again, because we expect only good things from the coming year. Goodbye 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 he was born happy man 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 has, accordingly, great importance. But the most reliable thing is the date of birth, first of all.

Anastasia Urnova: And I’ll argue with you here, you know, a little, because I’ve prepared, naturally, and I know the most original names, which were given to children this past year, back in 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 Soviet prison– that 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 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 it’s New Year after all, it’s impossible not to talk about this, sorry, 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 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, here we have beautiful picture about what the cat does with the 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.” And you can also say at the same time: “But I don’t have yet serious problems with health,” for example, or “I don’t have any serious other tasks yet.” And to be grateful. In general, this is a property... As Clara always says, carry a sign of this joy. It’s good if you already have this sign by nature, but, in principle, this is a question of internal state. Woe from the mind. You need to tune in to the mind, that it is not the mind that guides you, but you, the 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 have 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 cook traditionally 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 need 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, in this Bermuda Triangle looked and said: “That’s it! I’m now ready for a person to come. I can give up everything, 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 really 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 should use, well, in a good way of people. 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 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’s a man standing there, I’m his first and last time I saw it. 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 next period, there 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. Let it be 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 most a big 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 will share my way of making wishes, because I think it is good and effective, and I have 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: 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 ended up in Yerevan because I usually only get to Yerevan in the summer, at 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 at 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 in the sky it will sound...

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 Public television 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.

According to the eastern calendar, 2018 will be the year of the Yellow Earth Dog. A dog is a symbol of prosperity and happiness, care and devotion, housekeeping and prosperity.

The dog personifies justice, she will never betray, and in the year of her reign we can calm down - everything will be clear and fair.

In 2018, you can safely take on any task, because the Dog rushes into battle without thinking about the consequences. The element of earth is associated with laws and traditions, so in the year of the Earth Dog it is important to adhere to your principles. Despite the fact that the Dog does not like change and does not seek to move from the booth to the crystal palace, it will do everything so that the inhabitants of the earth can improve their living conditions. The main thing here is to believe in a miracle - the hostess of 2018 will happily play along with us.

In 2018, qualities such as friendliness and honesty are welcomed. Even when communicating with competitors, we should not be hypocritical and deviate from the rules - in the Year of the Dog no one will dare to deceive us or come up with some kind of fraudulent scheme. Most people’s salaries will be “white” - once we’ve saved up a pension, let’s go for a walk.

Horoscope for 2018 Pisces

In the year of the Rooster, Pisces searched long and hard for their luck. But gold fish I decided to make an appointment for the Year of the Dog - water creatures can calm down and continue splashing in the blue sea, or in the pool (here it’s a matter of taste). On February 16, 2018, the Yellow Earth Dog climbed onto the throne and barked three times - Neptune’s pets understood perfectly what was going on.

Horoscope for 2018 Aquarius

Aquarians feel great in any weather, it doesn’t matter to them what month is outside, and they don’t pay attention to what animal symbolizes the year - these are such wonderful guys. The Cockerel favored the pets of Uranus, and did not forget about you when he gave way to the Yellow Earth Princess - all observations were transferred to the Dog against receipt on February 16, 2018.

Horoscope for 2018 Capricorn

The ruler of the past year was delighted with the calm and reserved Capricorns - the Rooster favored the earthly children until the end of his reign. On February 16, 2018, an affectionate Yellow Dog ran to the throne and immediately noticed the charming Capricorns. Until spring, Saturn’s pets will complete business and solve some work problems, and in March you will hear the joyful barking of the Earth Dog - she will not leave the guys from her element unattended.

In order for coins to jingle and bills to rustle in their pockets, Capricorns will have to be resourceful. You, without any doubt, are professionals in any field, but you are a bit difficult to advertise your talents. The mistress of 2018 will quickly sort out this issue.

Horoscope for 2018 Sagittarius

The Cockerel protected Sagittarius during his reign, and even captured a month and a half of the next year - as long as you didn’t cry or be sad. But February 16, 2018 is getting closer and the pets of Jupiter began to worry - will the Dog somehow rule? Don't worry, the Yellow Mistress of 2018 will take you under her wing on the first day of her reign, and will even build a booth next to your house.

Horoscope for 2018 Scorpio

Scorpios will not be surprised by horoscopes, because you yourself know how to predict the future. But the stars advise reading the forecast - what if you find out something new and interesting? In the year of the Cockerel, Pluto’s pets lived and lived without worries and troubles, and on February 16, 2018, a strange squealing will be heard under the windows - but it’s the Yellow Dog who climbed onto the booth and said that now she will rule the world.

Horoscope for 2018 Libra

In the year of the Rooster, Libra did not know any troubles or worries, because the kind owner of 2017 brought grains in his beak and personally filled the feather bed with his fluffy feathers. But on the night of February 16, 2018, Libra will worry - how will the princess of the year, the Yellow Dog, rule? There is no reason to worry, as soon as the Cockerel crows 12 times goodbye, the Earth Dog will climb onto the throne and notify the world of his arrival with a gentle bark.

Horoscope for 2018 Virgo

Virgos are neat and careful creatures, and in the year of the Rooster they were able to achieve good results precisely thanks to these qualities. No doubt, the pets of Mercury can stop a galloping horse, however, before that they will definitely draw a clear movement pattern and draw up an action plan. In the Year of the Dog, Virgos will have a place to turn around - on February 16, 2018, the Earth Dog will give you his yellow paw as a sign of greeting and bark joyfully.

Horoscope for 2018 Leo

Temperamental and impulsive Leos managed to express themselves in the year of the Fire Rooster, and the bird didn’t even want to part with you, and plaintively crowed farewell New Year’s songs. But on February 16, 2018, a cute dog settled in the entrance to Lviv. Everyone understands that this was the mistress of 2018 - the Yellow Earth Dog.

Horoscope for 2018 Cancer

All last year, the Fire Rooster took care of and cherished dear Cancers, and was very afraid that the Yellow Dog would not be able to take care of you as diligently. But on February 16, 2018, the Yellow Dog appeared and, cheerfully wagging its tail, sniffed the water guys - everything was in order, and the Crayfish were protected.

Horoscope for 2018 Gemini

If in the year of the Red Rooster carefree Gemini enjoyed life and did not worry about anything, then with the arrival of the Yellow Dog the situation will change a little. However, there is no reason to panic - Mercury’s wards cannot but be liked, and the Earth Dog will be completely delighted with you.

Horoscope for 2018 Taurus

Taurus worked hard in the year of the Cockerel - the time has come to harvest. The mistress of 2018 is already on the way - the Yellow Dog barks joyfully, notifying the signs of the earth about her arrival. The Dog will like Taurus, because her element is earth. Until mid-February 2018, Taurus will say goodbye to the Rooster and listen to all his instructions. But on February 16, you can cut the ribbon on the booth and arrange a magnificent reception for the Earth Dog.

Horoscope for 2018 Aries

In the year of the Yellow Earth Dog, many miracles and adventures await Aries. The owner of last year gathered his courage for a long time before leaving you - the Fire Cockerel really liked you. But still, Petya whispered to the Yellow Dog what Aries’ innermost desires remained unfulfilled.

How wonderful it would be to know what is in store for you coming year, Truth? 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 intimate relationships. 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 another city, re-enroll (or return) to college, or even start 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 High Priestess the main 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.
