Character of people born in the year of the Dog
The dog is a very loyal and friendly animal! People born in her year, for all their openness, prefer to keep everything to themselves. This is due to the fact that dogs are vulnerable and thus they protect their inner world. Most often they divide life into black and white, either you are good or bad, there is no middle ground. On the one hand, this position prevents them from living, on the other hand, on the contrary, it makes it easier. Dogs do not really like guests; they prefer to be at home with their family or alone. They make wonderful parents: caring, affectionate and fair! It is worth noting that dogs have a heightened sense of justice. Which again often gets in the way in life. Sometimes it is worth passing by a situation that does not concern you, but if it is about injustice, the dog will take the side of the victim.
The main positive quality of Dogs is that they know how to keep secrets! Therefore, they can be trusted, for which their friends love and appreciate them. People born under this sign know how to make friends, but only a select few are allowed into their circle of loved ones. They are responsible, hardworking, smart, honest, not insidious, conservative, self-critical, reliable, loving, able to listen to their interlocutor, and sometimes cynical. Dogs are excellent employees: they are conscientious, can obey and lead equally well, and are able to find mutual language with colleagues and are always ready to complete the most difficult tasks. You can always rely on them. Our animal is very stubborn in achieving her goal, she will go towards it with everyone possible ways. But what people don’t really like about dogs is their straightforwardness, desire to criticize everything and stubbornness, which sometimes goes to the extreme. Despite the positivity, Dogs are very realistic in life and can even be pessimists.

Compatibility table for Dogs with Chinese horoscope signs:
Perfect compatibility: rabbit (well, who else? :))) Rabbit is born in 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999 and 2011.
Good compatibility:
rat, tiger, monkey and pig. Such a union can be characterized by the word “complementarity.” After all, there won’t be enough rabbits for everyone anyway :)
Worst compatibility: dragon, goat, rooster.
In love, the Dog is fickle. But he treats his soul mate reverently, responsibly and sincerely. Good compatibility with a horse and a cat (oddly enough). Relationships with a dragon and a goat, which a four-legged friend simply cannot tolerate, are undesirable. But relationships with the Tiger can be very bright and intense, but they will be hampered by frequent discord and disputes.
How to build a relationship with a Dog? I mean, with a person born in the year of this friendly animal. :) In formation friendly relations a person born under the sign of “man’s friend” will most likely not rush and take a short break to better get to know and study his friend (girlfriend) due to his inclination towards caution and conservatism. But when the friendship gets better, he or she will be loyal and loyal to you. In most cases, dogs would rather sacrifice something of their own than cause inconvenience to others. They will never go against the dictates of their heart and will not do something immoral in defiance of it.
IN love relationships Dogs don't often fall in love easily. But again, if they have fallen in love, they will maintain loyalty and devotion to their significant other. Among the disadvantages, it is worth noting the ups and downs that occur emotionally.
Symbols of luck 2018
If you were born in the Year of the Dog, the following will bring you good luck and success:
- Lucky numbers: 3, 4, 9 and numbers containing them, for example 93, 49, 399 and so on.

- Lucky flowers: roses, cymbidium orchids (a type of orchid).
- Lucky directions: east, south, northeast
- Lucky days: 7th and 28th of each month according to the Chinese lunar calendar.
Elements of Failure
Try to avoid:
- Unlucky numbers: 1, 6, 7 and numbers containing them, for example 17, 76, 671 and so on.
- Unlucky colors: blue, white, gold.
If you don't believe in omens, just skip this section, because omens only affect those who listen to them and give them meaning. But even if you believe in omens, treat them with a certain amount of humor and only in a positive way. That is, look only for positive signs and do not pay attention to bad omens. There is an opinion that if you do not believe in bad omens, they will not have any effect on you, even if you notice them. That’s why we won’t tell you anything about them, even if we knew something. Remember - only positive things in the new year!
So, there are too many signs associated with the New Year of the Dog to remember and list them all, so we’ll tell you about the most important, strong and noticeable ones.
Dog signs. If in New Year's Eve you heard a dog barking, this is good luck. A dream about a dog will also bring success on the night of December 31 to January 1 (or the 2nd, if you mark it well). You will also be happy with the silhouette of a dog seen in any object or phenomenon: frost on glass, a stain of coffee spilled in the morning, a cloud, a fold in fabric, and so on. Please note that the more strong drinks you take, the sooner the sign will appear :) Meeting a dog while walking on New Year's Eve also promises a successful future. Especially if you pet her or treat her with something. However, remember that dogs usually do not like the smell of alcohol, so be attentive and careful, especially if the four-legged friend you meet is unfamiliar to you.
Classic signs. A broken glass during a feast is undoubtedly fortunate, but only if you broke it by accident. A cheerful and sincere celebration in the circle of your closest, beloved and devoted people will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the entire next year. This is confirmed by the good old saying “how you celebrate the New Year is how you spend it” (another option is “who you celebrate the New Year with, you will spend it with”). A sincere, pure and bright wish made on New Year's Eve will certainly come true. To ensure that everything goes well with your money next year, pay back all your debts on the eve of the holiday. For the New Year, you can give yourself a piggy bank in the shape of a dog and be sure to put a few coins in it. Celebrate the New Year in a new thing - the better it matches the style four-legged friend person, the better (read about what to wear to meet NG in another chapter). Be sure to spend the old year, don't forget about it. Raising a glass to the outgoing year, take a bird's-eye view of it, thank it for all the good things and mentally say goodbye. Let go of everything bad, forgive and leave it in the past - there is no point in dragging negativity and bad memories with you into the future. If during the holiday some minor trouble happened to you - you cut your finger while preparing a salad, got dirty, spilled wine, broke or broke something, lost your keys or punctured a tire - just say “It’s good luck”, try to fix it quickly and forget. Be positive, don't let minor troubles ruin your holiday!
What to cook for the New Year's table 2018
Every year you want to set the table differently than last time and surprise your guests with especially interesting and tasty dishes. What’s so interesting to prepare for the New Year’s table this time, so that you can eat deliciously and, so to speak, appease yellow dog? Let's figure out what must be on the table.
In the coming year, meat dishes, a variety of sausages, as well as lard, brisket, ham, bacon, hunting sausages are strongly welcomed on the table, add herbs and definitely sweets. Please note that it is better to cook meat dishes that are on the bone. For example, legs, drumsticks, ribs, entrecote on the bone, chicken wings, etc. Potatoes and buckwheat are ideal as a side dish. Don't forget about your loved ones and delicious salads. Again, preference should be given to salads with meat, but don’t bypass light vegetable treats to avoid stomach problems. Salads can be placed on plates in the form of a bone, and can be used as a decoration egg yolk or sweet corn. Pies and pies will also diversify and complement the New Year's table; sandwiches with meat and pate will be very useful. It is better to serve whole grain bread.
Quite recently there has been a fashion to give special cakes to your beloved pets. If you have a dog in your house, then pamper him with this cake. Not only guests, but also the hostess of the year will be pleased with sweets on the New Year's table. Bake the cake and place the dog figurine in the center. Or you can make cupcakes with “Dalmatians” coloring (bright, beautiful and also to please the yellow dog). Wine, tea, coffee and water are welcome drinks:) But if you like something stronger, then drink to your health. A dog is not a picky animal :) In any case, use your imagination and your guests will be satisfied with the New Year's treats. To summarize, remember the basic rules of New Year's treats in 2018: nourishing, tasty, meat dishes, vegetables.
How to set a table
To further appease the hostess of 2018, set the table with your own hands according to her rules. And so, ideally, give preference to white dishes, perhaps with a multi-colored border (ideally golden). Canapés (fruit, vegetable) will look great as decoration and an interesting presentation of the dish. It would be nice to put a Dog figurine in the center of the table, maybe yellow. Generously decorate salads and dishes with herbs.
The New Year's tablecloth should be made of natural fabrics. Rustic style is welcome, so you can choose linen. Candlesticks are appropriate, they always add luxury to the festive table. Color range: yellow, orange, gold, red, brown, beige, white. New Year's table decor cannot do without napkins. It makes no difference whether they are fabric or paper, but in any case it is advisable to fold them beautifully. A little imagination and you will get a beautiful DIY New Year's decor. We wish you good luck and pleasant holiday efforts!
What to celebrate 2018 in?
So we come to another one important issue, which has to be decided: what to wear to celebrate the 2018 year of the dog? What color outfit should I choose? First of all, let's decide on the color. As you probably already understood, in order to appease the dog - the symbol of the coming year, choose the most New Year's color for the holiday - yellow! Just remember that it is not suitable for everyone and can add several years to your life. Yes, yellow often makes you look older. Therefore, pay attention to other New Year's tones and textures: gold, brown, flesh, sand, mustard and orange. With such a variety of shades, choosing a New Year's outfit becomes not at all difficult. If you settled on the yellow color, then know that floor-length dresses and light sundresses look most impressive in it. Always relevant and looks “expensive and rich” - gold, and Brown color ideal for men's New Year's suits. Also, no one has canceled the combination of several colors, for example, yellow and brown, plus adding gold accessories. If you are not a fan of bright clothes, then you can wear a dark brown dress and choose beautiful gold jewelry to match it. The style of the outfit can be anything, the main condition is convenience and comfort.
Decorations are welcome, preference should be given to gold, amber, yellow sapphire and wood products. Manicure for the New Year you can make it discreet. A classic French jacket, light pastel shades (flesh, peach) or dark brown polish will look harmonious in combination with a bright outfit.
What to wear for New Year's holidays? As the owner of the coming year knows, the animal is active and energetic, so shoes, like the New Year's outfit, should be comfortable! If you have chosen heels, then let them be as comfortable as possible so that nothing interferes with dancing :) This year, preference can be given to shoes with an open toe to show everyone a beautiful pedicure!
New Year's costume for a child. Every year we think about what to wear to Christmas tree baby? Who should he play? 2018 is an ideal year for fancy dress, as the dog is one of the most popular images. Moreover, you can buy a ready-made dog costume at a children's store. But if there is a danger that there will be a whole flock of dogs on the Christmas tree in the kindergarten :)), sew a custom-made suit for your child. For example, the outfit of your favorite character from cartoons, comics or films. Here are some ideas for famous cartoons and films about dogs: the dog Sharik from the famous Prostokvashino, "Barboskiny", "Scooby-Doo", "Belka and Strelka", "Bolt", "The Great Dog Escape", "101 Dalmatians", " Beethoven." Probably even this small list is enough to come up with an image. After all, New Year is a children's holiday that happens once a year, because pretty soon the baby will stop believing in Santa Claus and there will be fewer miracles in his life.
What to give for New Year 2018
It is quite possible that the dreams of many children can be fulfilled on New Year’s Eve, since the best gift there will be a puppy :) It is clear that not everyone is ready for this, but if you had thoughts about a pet, then it’s time to bring them to life and please your household.
If you have no desire or opportunity to acquire a devoted friend, or your pet has been snoring on a soft sofa for a long time, then pay attention to gifts with a picture of a dog. These could be slippers in the shape of a dog, Stuffed Toys, clothes with drawings of a cute animal or in Dalmatian colors, a brooch in the shape of a dog, sweets and much more. A dog really values home and comfort, so this New Year a relevant gift would be bed sheets(generally any home textiles), blankets, pillows, dishes. Pay attention to the color, these are all colors of yellow, brown, gold, red and white.
For example, as a New Year's gift colleagues you can present beautiful napkins bright color or with the image of the hostess of the year. It’s good to add a chocolate bar to such a modest gift and the present becomes more interesting. And if there are a lot of colleagues and you won’t be able to please everyone, just order or bake a cake, cupcakes, macaroons with the image of a bone or a dog. Everyone will love this New Year's treat.

Again and again I want to distinguish myself and buy a New Year's gift that is at the same time inexpensive, necessary and interesting. Again, start listening and taking a closer look at your soul mate in advance. What does she/he want? What does he dream about? It may not be a material gift, but something made with your own hands. For example, you can edit a video clip or collect a collection of his favorite quotes, and maybe even his own catchphrases, jokes, drawings. Please note that this year you should definitely not give chains, as the Dog may take this gift as a restriction of freedom. Also, avoid perfumes with strong aromas; dogs are very sensitive to them and may become unhappy. So, what to give? girl?

For example, bake a pie, or a cake, or build a Christmas tree from fruits. Or you can add traditional Olivier and tangerines to the gift. If you are looking for a New Year's gift for a good friend or boyfriend, then pay attention to fashionable gadgets and accessories for them. Men love such gifts very much. Good alcohol, expensive tobacco or smoking pipes are always in demand. Whatever you give on New Year's Eve, stick to two main rules - no chains and add a souvenir made by yourself.
What to gift to kid for New Year? Perhaps a New Year's gift for a child is one of the most simple tasks. Why? Because children believe in Santa Claus and every year they write letters to him asking him to give him what they dream of. If you and your baby have not yet taken care of such a letter, then do so urgently. Although there is a catch: the child may want something that is very expensive or cannot be bought with money. If the first option, then look for a gift from your own hands, and if the second, then you will have to show your imagination and realize what you want. If your wish cannot be fulfilled, then choose a toy, gadget or a set of sweets, markers, pencils, stickers, key chains, phone accessories. Many girls aged 5-8 this year love fur bunnies, which are sold in various shopping centers. Girls will also be happy with hairpins, bows, elastic bands and cosmetics. But in our time this is not such a cheap gift. For boys, for the New Year, choose LEGO, chemist, physics, spy sets. Well, a win-win option is clothes. Everyone will like her.
What to gift teenager? But pleasing a teenager is not so easy. They often say that they don’t know what they want, but in fact they know, they’re just embarrassed to say. A good New Year's gift for a girl could include: perfume, cosmetics, a certificate for a cosmetics or lingerie store, gadgets, phone accessories, jewelry, a bag, a wallet, body creams, bath bombs, a trip to the spa. You can also choose a gift for a guy: skateboard, snowskate, Sports Equipment(by the way, it’s also suitable for girls), a trip to a climbing wall, a trampoline park, a water park, a slingshot, binoculars, eau de toilette, a set of shower gels, of course, gadgets, new sneakers or sweatshirts. Well, don’t forget that every teenager accepts money as an excellent gift :) Therefore, beautifully package a larger bill and give it with the words: for chewing gum :)
How to decorate a house for New Year 2018
New Year is perhaps the most long-awaited holiday for both children and adults! We expect so many weekends, gifts, entertainment, goodies, and meetings during these holidays. In order to create a positive and magical mood, do not forget to decorate your home in New Year's style! Hang garlands, make snowflakes with your children and stick them on the window, buy artificial snow! Why is there snow, now there are so many New Year's interior items - it's dizzying. If I had the money, my imagination will tell you how to place it all at home. If you decide to decorate your home for the New Year 2018, then pay attention to what wishes there are from the future owner of the year - the Dog.
Undoubtedly, a dog is a cheerful and playful animal, so the house should be decorated as brightly and interestingly as possible. The color scheme for New Year's decor is yellow, fiery, gold, all shades of orange, as well as green and blue. Hang garlands not only on the Christmas tree, but also on the windows or under the ceiling, this will create a festive atmosphere. If you have a balcony, then that’s the place for New Year’s lights. They will delight not only you, but also people passing by, and, of course, neighbors at the windows :) It is appropriate to attach a New Year's wreath to the entrance or room door, fortunately there are so many of them now that your eyes run wild. But remember that you can always make a New Year’s wreath with your own hands, and at the same time involve your children in it! Wreaths are made from pine cones, fir branches, fruit, paper, Christmas tree decorations, bottle caps, fabric, and in general from any material you like! If you are the happy owner of a fireplace, then this New Year’s accessory belongs there! Be sure to decorate the windows: for the New Year, stores sell special stencils for drawings on glass - use them! Or stick on snowflakes cut out of paper the old-fashioned way. When choosing decor, keep in mind that the Dog will like everything soft and warm, something that adds coziness. The 2018 mistress loves the elegant and graceful, so think carefully about the details in your holiday decorations to appease your cute four-legged friend.
Christmas tree decoration
Now let's talk about the main beauty of the holiday - the Christmas tree! How to decorate a Christmas tree in 2018? When choosing color range for the Christmas tree, give preference to yellow, gold and orange colors. It is better to choose garlands of the same shades, but silver is also allowed. Try not to mix too many colors in the garlands, it will look tacky. Choose 1-2 colors and focus on them. Be sure to hang the symbol of the year - the Dog - in the most prominent place; she will undoubtedly like such attention. If it is not the Dog that is placed on the top of the tree, then the star and angels also look beautiful. But you can leave it empty to keep the spruce tree looking more natural. To decorate the New Year's beauty, use wide tinsel and beads that can be hung in a spiral. Christmas decorations are a separate topic. Gone are the days when only glass toys were used. Today, anything can hang on the Christmas tree: candies, fruits, clothes, soft toys, pine cones, decorations, stickers with wishes, balloons, flowers and much more. If you like to craft, then you can make Christmas tree decorations with your own hands; now a huge number of goods for handicrafts are sold. The hem of the Christmas tree can be decorated in different ways. For example, place a mountain of packed boxes at the bottom, simulating gifts. Of course, it would be better to leave the gifts themselves under the Christmas tree, but they will be taken away quickly, and we need to preserve the beauty for all the New Year holidays! The second option is this: wrap the bucket/tripod in which the tree stands with bright foil, add cotton wool to create the appearance of snowdrifts. Or plant toy Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, as well as the symbol of the year - the Earth Dog. You can put a basket with gifts, New Year's toys and tinsel. It doesn’t matter whether your Christmas tree is natural or artificial, you can decorate it the same way. The main thing is that you like the beautiful Christmas tree and give you a festive mood before, during and after the holiday!
Today it is fashionable to take photos of the area for a selfie or a group photo. Therefore, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree is perfect as such a place, so try it! And if you don’t have the opportunity to buy this beautiful New Year’s tree, don’t despair, you can get by with spruce branches or make a creative Christmas tree from improvised materials on the wall :) For example, hang a garland in the form of a Christmas tree, or put a New Year’s beauty on the wall with stickers, or you can create one made of fruit and placed in some beautifully decorated corner. In general, everything is in your hands, create, be creative and create your New Year's mood!
Where to go for New Year's Eve 2018
The New Year is just around the corner and, as they say, prepare your sleigh in the summer and plan your New Year's trip in the summer too. And this is not a joke, the New Year holidays are another mini vacation for most people, so you need to prepare for it in advance so as not to miss out on tickets at competitive prices.
So, where to go for the New Year holidays? First, let's look at ideas for a New Year's trip to Russia. Perhaps the most popular destination among families with children remains Veliky Ustyug - the birthplace of Father Frost. Throughout the holidays, both children and adults will find entertainment for themselves and, most importantly, will personally meet the main wizard of the holiday - Grandfather Frost. If you decide to go to his residence, keep in mind that the frosts can be serious. Be prepared for -20 and stock up on thermal underwear so that all walks and festivities will be a joy. Also take care of housing in advance. The closer to the New Year, the fewer options available at an affordable price.
After the Winter Olympics, one of the best places for winter travel is, of course, Sochi with the famous mountain resort of Rosa Khutor. Here you can go skiing/snowboarding, just look at the beauty from a bird's eye view, and swim in the outdoor pool. And, having descended from the mountains, you can go to the embankment, look at the Olympic venues and simply enjoy walks around the resort city.
If you love culture, historical monuments, museums - go to the most European city in our country, St. Petersburg! Certainly, best period For a trip to the cultural capital - summer, as you want to admire the white nights. But even in winter it has its own zest, and the weather is not so important for walking around museums. There is the Winter Palace, the Russian Museum, the Mariinsky Theater, and the suburbs: Pushkin, Peterhof, Lomonosov and a huge amount of interesting things for the most discerning taste. By the way, St. Petersburg residents themselves love to go to theaters on the eve of the New Year; performances on December 31 are especially popular. Therefore, if you like this tradition, buy a ticket to a New Year's play or concert in advance.
Another great destination for the Christmas holidays is the third capital of our country - Kazan. The beauty of this city is undeniable and this confirms the city's popularity among tourists. For children there is a good water park "Riviera", for lovers of winter sports - the Kazan ski sports and recreation complex, which is popularly called Sviyaga.
Of course, you can’t ignore our capital Moscow! This seething, seething, never-sleeping city always welcomes tourists. Here you will find cultural entertainment, nightlife, New Year's festivities in the city center, parks, theaters, New Year's fairs, water parks, and everything you want! It's a great idea to go to the Bolshoi Theater for a ballet or opera during the Christmas holidays. Pskov and the Pskov region are also a wonderful New Year's destination. Believe me, there is something to see and where to relax. The beauty of these places is worthy of attention!
For those who do not want or cannot travel far from home, a great option is to go on vacation outside the city. Now there are a huge number of country cottage clubs, hotels, and spa complexes that offer packages for the New Year holidays. They organize both a feast and a colorful program. So in our country you can relax for every taste and budget!
Since ancient times, Eastern sages have honored one of twelve chosen animals every year. It is the owner of this or that year who influences the destinies of people and influences all events. Nowadays many people trust Chinese horoscope by following some of his tips and tricks. Already people are asking the question: 2018 is the year of what animal?
So, the Red Fire Rooster, which was “on the throne” for a whole year, will replace it and, like the other signs, will “rule” for exactly a year.
Now let's figure out what, in fact, the notorious Eastern (Chinese) horoscope is.
The essence of the Chinese horoscope
First of all, it is worth noting that it is inextricably linked with the eastern calendar, which, in turn, fully corresponds to the rhythm of the movement of three celestial bodies across the sky. These are the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn.
It's no secret that the New Year in China does not coincide with our New Year, that is, with the traditional day of its celebration. Chinese New Year comes a little later than the usual New Year, so anyone born in January, February or even March may fall under the animal sign of the previous year.
The most widespread and popular among people around the world is the Chinese legend about the origin of the eastern horoscope and the twelve eastern signs:
“On one of the most important days, Buddha called all the earth’s animals to him and he promised a good reward to the first twelve. It must be said that the time was quite cool then, and on the path of the animals there was a wide river that had to be crossed. The first twelve animals completed the task and Buddha gave each of them a whole year of reign on a first-come, first-served basis, in which the animals came to the Buddha.”
According to legend, the animals came to Buddha in the following order:
- Rat
- Buffalo
- Cat, Hare or Rabbit (various eastern peoples have their own readings regarding the fourth beast ruler of the year)
- The Dragon
- Horse
- Goat or Sheep (according to the Japanese horoscope)
- Monkey
- Rooster
- Dog
- Pig
According to the Chinese horoscope, each of the creatures and objects on earth consists of five dominant elements. These are water, earth, fire, metal and wood.
Whatever animal is at the head of the year, this or that element is already inherent in it (the year), which leaves a certain imprint on the character of the patron of the year.
