According to the Chinese calendar, the symbol of the upcoming 2018 is the Yellow Earth Dog. In the east they are eagerly awaiting him, since the Dog is a symbol of friendship, harmony, joy and fidelity, says astrologer (www.astrologer-moscow.rf), leading teacher at the Institute of Practical Esoterics and Astrology Tatyana Kirilova.

The dog is a symbol of friendship and justice, so the energy of the year will contribute to the peaceful resolution of any conflict situations. The Yellow Earth Dog calls for peace and goodness; she does not like forceful methods.
Moreover, one of the functions of this animal is protection and security, so it will come to the rescue and defend its territory.

According to the astrologer, the Yellow Dog belongs to the element of earth, so the coming year will be stable, sustainable, practical, and you should not strive for luxury and excess. It’s better to focus on implementing practical goals, and to do this, draw up an action plan to manage your time wisely, Kirillova advises.

In 2018, it is important to listen to your intuition, inner voice.

Who to meet with New Year
The Year of the Yellow Earth Dog should be celebrated with your family, among relatives and friends; it is good to celebrate the holiday with relatives whom you have not seen for a long time.
Since the Dog is a symbol of friendliness, it is also favorable to celebrate the new year with close friends, organize competitions, dances, and after the chimes go for a walk with sparklers, the main thing is not to overdo it with alcohol, advises Kirilova.
How to dress up
IN New Year's Eve In 2018, you should opt for classic outfits in natural shades of yellow-brown: The dog will like sand, cream, nut, coffee colors, as well as saffron, mustard, and gold. It is these colors, especially yellow, that correspond to the element of Earth, to which the symbol of the coming year belongs.
The dog is conservative, so it is better to avoid extravagant outfits. You should also not wear clothes with various “animal” prints and fur, the astrologer recommends.
Accessories and jewelry can be made of gold or silver, natural stones such as amber, or wood.
What to put on the table
A dog is not a picky animal, but loves hearty, beautifully decorated dishes. Place kebabs, fried or baked chicken, sausage and other meat dishes in the center of the table. The table can be decorated with vegetables and fruits in red, brown and yellow.
Be sure to prepare dessert. Since luxury will not be welcomed in the coming year, it is better to opt for simple, but tasty, proven recipes.
How to decorate a house
As with clothes, decorate the Christmas tree and the room with tinsel and toys in gold, red, and brown shades. On New Year's Eve, the dishes can be of the same colors or with a red and gold border. Chocolate medals in gold foil will also serve as decoration.
To show respect for the symbol of the year, it would be appropriate to place figurines of dogs in the apartment, which you can make with your own hands, for example, sew toys or bake cookies in the shape of dogs.

2018: what year of the Dog
Chinese astrology uses the lunar calendar, considering the beginning of the New Year to be the second new moon, which occurs after the winter solstice (the shortest day of the year is December 21). In this ancient calendar, 12 animal symbols, replacing each other, form cycles of 12 years. In turn, two more cycles are superimposed on them in parallel - 5 basic elements, or elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth) and 2 types cosmic energy(Yin or Yang).
The upcoming New Year of the Dog is the eleventh in the Chinese 12-year cycle. This time it carries Yang energy as well as Earth energy, which is traditionally associated with the color yellow. Thus, Yellow Earth Dog– in fact, this is just a verbal decoding of the figurative ideas of Chinese astrologers.
Year of the Dog: what years of birth
People born in 2018, 2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958, etc. years, have personality traits that are attributed to their patroness, the Dog: she is honest and diligent in any matter, selfless in communication and devoted to friends, has an open, cheerful character and is always happy about new adventures. Similar to her psychological type Zodiac sign is Libra, and best compatibility possible with the signs of the Tiger or Horse.
Among those born in the year of the Dog, there are many celebrities: Kate Middleton and Prince William, Claudia Slate and Dakota Fanning, Andrea Bocelli and David Bowie, as well as Prince Albert II of Monaco, Jane Birkin, Uma Thurman, Matt Damon, Naomi Campbell, Sharon Stone, Madonna , Sophia Loren, Sylvester Stallone, Brigitte Bardot, Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson.
It is believed that the Dog can find optimal use of his talents in such areas as medicine, advocacy, charity, spiritual or social activities, teaching, and scientific research.
What is favorable in the year of the Yellow Dog?
To compensate for the obvious excess of Earth energy (it is believed that the Dog itself has the power of this element, and doubly so in the year of the Yellow Earth Dog), decorate the interior well, and wear clothes in colors that symbolize other natural elements: green (Wood); blue and black (Water). This advice can be figuratively explained as follows: trees grow and rise above the ground - which means green color this year will bring good luck to those who strive for spiritual and material growth. Water, in turn, nourishes the earth, making it fertile - therefore, the vibrations of blue and black colors will help you achieve success where it is most needed.
The Year of the Dog 2018 is a period generally favorable for changes in lifestyle. It will be easier for us to give up some old habits and develop useful new ones, change our place of residence or start ambitious professional projects. At work, the Perfectionist Dog will require us to demonstrate serious attention to detail, solid organizational skills, and efficiency in carrying out administrative tasks. But also don’t forget to share your successes, communicate more and, if possible, support the people around you. Of course, you shouldn't be friends with just anyone, but the general principle is this: the more generously you give, the more will come back to you. If we try and do everything right, a very stable, fruitful year awaits us.
The theme of family and relationships will also be very important in the coming year. With those who have not yet met their match, the sociable Dog will share his phenomenal instinct: it will be easier for us to find “our” person and recognize a “stranger”. However, in the coming 12 months, many will also have to endure periods of loneliness: these moments will not last long, and if treated correctly, they can even inspire creativity.

A dog is not capable of harming a person - it is so focused on its Big Friend that prosperity awaits us all. It is only important to love your patron - sincerely, with all your heart and to understand that it is difficult to find a better companion - remember the words of Rosenbaum:
The more people I get to know,
The more tenderness for dogs
Various types and colors,
Tailless, cropped, shaggy...

The mood of all your guests will be as upbeat and carefree as your pets, to whom you sincerely give the happiness of satiety and care. It is also worth planning a very rich table - Dogs love treats much more than other signs; they know how to appreciate not only beautiful brain bones, but also a variety of sweets.

The Yellow Earth Dog requires you to be especially careful when choosing the colors of your clothing. Your holiday outfit can include all the golden and sunny shades. Shades from the Earth - brown, beige, a little orange, but by no means flashy, but muted, just warm. You can choose black for contrast. But in minimal quantities.
Now everything related to green. This is a very dangerous shade; the wrong palette can ruin your complexion so much that you won’t recognize yourself. No cold shades, everything is as warm and filled with sun as possible. You can appear in a suit or dress of this color to celebrate the change of years.
Jewelry can be contrasting - gold, ceramics, metal. Choose stylish and not very pretentious items to decorate your holiday costume. The dog does not recognize tinsel and too bright things, even in jewelry. Everything is modest, very stylish and well thought out. By the way, consider a boho dress. If fashion designers are of the opinion that it is best to wear a formal suit or dress with a not too short midi skirt for a celebration, then you can afford a well-styled suit with a vest, a plaid shirt and numerous lace decorations; they are inexpensive, but the colors and style are perfect specifically the Dog.
Photo: New Year of the Dog 2018: how to celebrate, what to cook? How to decorate the house and what can be added besides the Christmas tree - the traditional New Year's tree. It is clear that this year we will have to buy new tinsel– yellow, white, beige. So the style again sets the tone of the earth. And since everything is connected to the earth, then install large floor vases and place Christmas tree paws in them; such floor containers will look very rich and fashionable. You can also place ceramic dogs or soft toys here - original, unusual, beautiful. Let a person’s friends sit and lie under the Christmas tree this year; they can have quite a lot of space, and not just on the floor.
Place a yellow tablecloth on the table or combine two or three contrasting colors (green+yellow), (green+brown+yellow).
Place dogs throughout the house different sizes and color, don’t forget about the fact that you need to tie beautiful collars and bows on them.
What to wear for the New Year of the Dog 2018?
How nice it is that you need to celebrate the New Year 2018 in dresses and suits in a color dear to your heart, which suits absolutely everyone. Nothing flashy, too accentuated and bright, the Rooster crowed, the Monkey made noise and galloped away, with you, strong and strong clever dog. Only natural fabrics, no synthetics, forget about unpleasant metal fabrics, choose silk, velvet, wool.
Now about the shades - not all burning blondes will be happy with pastel colors in their clothes, but do not forget that a dog can also be a beautiful bright shade. So you are offered all the colors of the rainbow except blue and red, they can be used as a small bright decoration, if you really want to wear an emerald necklace or a ruby necklace. Let topazes and diamonds sparkle on you this year, let gold jewelry suit you, and let’s put everything else aside until next year.
Let's remember our first beloved dog and try to create the style of your home just for her, let everything remind you of that friend who once sincerely gave you love and happiness.
A room decorated warmly and beautifully, but in your new dress you don't want to be in that muted color. So, against the backdrop of green and yellow decorations, choose something with more contrast. We have set too difficult a task, you say? But there are so many shades of yellow and green that there is enough to decorate a room for receiving guests, and for a suit in which you will look stunning.
The only condition is to try to forget about the designs and prints on the dress that are reminiscent of the Dog’s obvious enemies. Let all representatives of the cat family be with you in a year, but for now, preference is only for Dogs and their habits. This is not at all difficult, because the Dog allows the use of fabrics for dresses and suits, not only plain ones, but also with any patterns, except cats.
The nature of the dress can be anything. Just forget a little about your desire to show off. This year it is fashionable to be stylish and independent. The dog is ready to play if there is a corresponding disorder. So try to imagine yourself “in the Dog’s shoes - and you will be the center of attention of the guests.
What you should pay attention to:
- Graceful style
- The character of the dress that perfectly reflects your attitude
- Just a few awards (decorations)
The suit or dress you choose for the New Year should be comfortable, no fluffy skirts or corsets. Unless you intend to appear in the cutest poodle costume - these items can be somewhat extravagant, but in no case should they interfere with movement and you should try to make your costume for the New Year elegantly simple; there is a lot of attractiveness in minimalism.
What we don’t forget about in any case is that we will try to avoid corsets, trains and all sorts of frills. The dress should be well designed, fairly simple and yet very stylish. A dog is an earthly and open creature, so there is no need to hide in brocade and lurex. Opt for modern environmentally friendly fabrics and the symbol of the year will welcome you with open arms.
And it will be easy and pleasant for you to move in a noisy crowd of guests if the suit is comfortable and does not interfere with games and entertainment. Here are the fabrics you can use this year
- silk,
- satin stretch,
- thin gabardine,
- knitwear
How to decorate your new outfit? Lace, embroidery, beautiful prints. The dress for New Year's Eve can be either long or short; choose a trouser suit if you want. The color and quality of the fabric are important, remember everything about nature and walks. Where you can go with your friend:
- Swamp – gray-green and brown tones
- Our sky is blue, and against its background there are beautiful forbs
- A summer meadow is generally a play of colors in huge quantities
- Well, against the backdrop of all this splendor - your unique image
We have already talked about cats and their symbols on clothes. This topic has been discussed and everything is clear that we will not use the “true enemies” of Dogs in any form - neither in jewelry, nor designs on clothes. Save your wonderful clothes of the cat year, and now we use the services and influence of the Dog’s aura on your spirit.
Photo: New Year 2018. How to celebrate, what to cook? Fashion does not dictate strict dresses and suits for the owners of the year. The only thing you can afford are more daring models - with a deep neckline and decolletage. With one sleeve - that seems to be all. What fashion can offer you - original suits and dresses - is to diversify and decorate your new holiday outfit with chic accessories. By the way, this is great, because sometimes with the help of unusual accessories you can make any outfit unique. So choose your jewelry carefully and with deep meaning, then your efforts will be noticed by the symbol of the year and will be especially favorable to you. Shoes only from natural materials, you should forget about very high heels for a while. Preferred shoes from:
- Suede
- Textile
- patent leather
In your hands you can hold a clutch handbag or a small accessory over your shoulder. There is no need to complement the outfit with anything else.
A few words about jewelry and decorations. Choose only quality and expensive jewelry:
- Gold
- Amber
- Warm colored gemstones
- Tree
- Bone
Now you immediately understand why the boho style has already been mentioned. The safari style will also look good; it seems to exactly match the mood of the Year of the Dog.
The suit will tell you what to do with makeup and hairstyle. No elaborate structures on the head, the makeup is calm and dull. Matte powder and a little blush, as if you are returning from a country walk. Your lips shimmer slightly and are half-open, as if you are still a little out of breath. The Earth Dog will appreciate your image, let it be natural and light. You can leave spectacular high slits on the skirt in your outfit, but still try not to look too provocative.
By the way, a small addition to the jewelry - try not to use chains, the Dog has a negative attitude towards them. Let you have enough rings, brooches, beads, even hairpins; beautiful earrings and bracelets are welcome. And keep in mind that this time there should be an even number of decorations.
What to cook for the New Year of the Dog 2018?
The responsible task is to choose the right dishes for New Year's feast. It’s good that the Dog is an omnivore and there are no restrictions, as for example in the previous year, when it was not recommended to use poultry meat under any circumstances. It’s good that you could put a Christmas goose or Peking duck on the table. Although the Rooster is a suspicious bird, so almost all housewives excluded treats from their holiday menu, dishes made from poultry meat.
The dog will accept absolutely anything, choose any meat, fish and vegetables. It will be quite easy for you to compose good list dishes even from those dishes that you prepare for your household every day. Let your favorite dishes and delicacies stand in the center of the table, add more decorations and everything will look great.
It takes quite a long time to cook pork, lamb and beef; you don’t have to fry the meat, but cook something in the form of a stew. Such dishes are perfectly heated in portions, so that a late guest will also get his portion of hot food.
Rabbit or chicken are perfect for a holiday; this meat is prepared quickly, the result is always excellent, even a novice young housewife can prepare an excellent hot dish from such meat. Pay attention to the offers of nearby restaurants, why not take advantage of restaurant-prepared hot food for the New Year celebration; the courier will bring everything to the table at the exact specified time.
Fish dishes will look great on the table - they can be placed in any quantity. So let you have hot appetizers with fish, newfangled rolls and sushi, and even aspic. The fish cooks quickly; you won’t find much effort in cooking, except to remove all the small bones. So it is necessary to diversify the menu with fish.
