Part one

Year signs

Horoscope structure

Despite the unnatural popularity, or more precisely, the promotion of personal characteristics depending on their zodiac signs, the basic, fundamental qualities of a person are determined by the annual (eastern) sign. This especially applies to people who are active, creative, and ready to reveal themselves to the fullest. If we remember about people who are passive, timid and lethargic, always waiting for instructions and care from society, then the annual sign is of course not important for them. And I don’t suggest reading my book to such people; TV is enough for them.

The annual sign is responsible for the five main qualities of a person. The greatest importance is a person’s ability to think, and to think in such a way that he develops a certain life ideology. Such an ideology forms a strategy, ensures the perception of the world in one way or another, in fact, gives birth to a type of thinking. Ideology is the only area in which the male and female signs differ. Therefore, in the book, ideology is revealed separately for women and men.

The next most profound influence should be recognized as a sign of fate. And how come we didn’t understand before that if fate exists, then there must be different ways of its interaction with a person. Now this is completely in order, and again everything depends on the year sign.

In third place you can put a person’s temperament. And as before, it is the annual sign that determines the type of temperament. In this case, we are talking not so much about the external picture, but about deep processes. If the temperament is found correctly, then the type of fuel that needs to be refueled is chosen correctly, and then - goodbye to depression!

In fourth place we have methods of communication. At the same time, there is also the orientation of a person in space. Actually, a person’s communication is his perception of life as a certain space. I remember that Carl Jung said something about this, who divided people into introverts and extroverts... True, Jung did not know the year signs, this was his mistake.

Fifth place went to human psychology. Psychology rightfully shares this place with physiology, from which it is impossible to tear it away, they are so firmly fused.

Summary list

The five projections of man mentioned above provide a total of 19 elementary qualities, which it makes sense to list, so that, as they say, the entire list of the capabilities of man as a creature is announced.

Human psychology

Psychology has the smallest share in creating a complete portrait of a person. A fairly large number of people do not activate their psychology at all, preferring to highlight and develop completely different qualities in themselves. Sometimes a person’s psychological qualities go to the level of pure physiology, without affecting his mental activity. But even if psychology manifests itself quite strongly, it is, as a rule, masked, and it is masked according to the principle of complementarity. That is, masculine signs try to look gentle and demonstratively show sentimentality. Gentle signs tend to look quite stern and courageous. Dreamers want to appear active and skilled, while an active person wants to appear to those around him as abstract and not of this world. So, even having unraveled human psychology, it should be considered an intimate and carefully hidden matter. Perhaps it is precisely because of the intimacy of psychological qualities that the so-called classical science has not discovered analogues of these qualities.

Human psychology provides answers to two main questions. The first question: how to behave at the everyday level, that is, to express yourself in the simplest and most natural conditions for a person? Thus, in terms of psychology, a person is not so far removed from the status of an animal. Second question and second answer: what are the physiological characteristics of a person?

Earth signs(Monkey, Rooster, Dog). They need to discover in themselves a craving for action and a love for the objective world, for the purpose of earthly signs is to breathe soul into dead matter. How to do this for those who have everything falling out of their hands or have no desire to work? It’s worth mastering some craft, thank God, the range is huge - from carpentry or painting to jewelry, watchmaking or film making.

Down-to-earth signs do not always look businesslike and collected; sometimes they even want to portray laziness and daydreaming. This, as they say, is the other side of the coin.

Rough signs (Boar, Rat, Ox). You must be hardened, persistent, thick-skinned and have a strong immune system. You shouldn’t feel too sorry for others, and you certainly shouldn’t feel sorry for yourself. This version of psychology seems to have been created in advance for difficult situations, for all types of discomfort, be it camp life, a communal apartment or a barracks.

The main program of the signs is easy to read - to excite people, wake them up from mental sleep, tear them away from excessive effeminacy, restore their tone. For a person, from a too comfortable life and too tender food, becomes weak and loses vitality.

Internal rigidity is masked by manifestations of ostentatious sentimentality, the desire and ability to cry intensely, to feel sorry for some cat or bird. For a rough soul such gestures are always comforting.

Take-off signs (Tiger, Cat, Dragon). Dreaminess, thoughtfulness, an inaudible, soft gait, a kind of weightlessness, plus a certain disgust and cleanliness, in a word, all in contrast to earthly signs.

The super task is the materialization of sensory ideas. Something like lying on the sofa and controlling the movement of matter. At a primitive level, this could be a begged cup of coffee in bed; at the level of real magic, it could be hypnotic orders or controlling the public mood. But the main thing is that, ultimately, matter fulfills what the spirit desires.

The ballet phenomenon of take-off signs requires careful and detailed consideration. Rudolf Nureyev, Vaslav Nijinsky (Tigers), Ekaterina Maksimova (Cat) and Vladimir Vasiliev (Dragon), Anastasia Volochkova (Dragon) and Nikolai Tsiskaridze (Tiger). The list could go on for a very long time. The take-off signs in poetry have had phenomenal success. We have Alexander Blok, Afanasy Fet, Marina Tsvetaeva, Joseph Brodsky (all Dragons), Vasily Zhukovsky, Osip Mandelstam (both Cats), Boris Pasternak (Tiger).

Disguising their sophistication, armchair dreamers try to show themselves as mobile, agile, active and handy. At the same time, the weakest achievements in crafts are advertised and praised much more actively than great achievements in their main psychological “specialty.”

Gentle signs (Snake, Horse, Goat). This requires developing sensitivity in yourself in every sense. Distinguish the subtlest shades of taste, smell, color. In the same way, you need to feel the subtlest emotions, your own and others. You must always sympathize with yourself, but also be able to empathize with everyone else, trying in any situation to feel someone else’s pain as your own.

Of course, with such a psychology, the highest demands are placed on comfort, and the food must be especially delicate. It is very important to live in an environment of general goodwill. Hence the minimum contacts with callous people.

The subtlety of nature can be useful in many areas, but there is one where sensitivity is almost irreplaceable - this is humanistic literature. Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Gustave Flaubert (all - Snakes), Miguel Cervantes, Alexander Pushkin, Honoré de Balzac, Jonathan Swift, Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust (all - Goats), Ivan Bunin, Isaac Babel, Jerome Sellenger , Alexander Kuprin, James Joyce (all - Horses). This list can go on and on. In fact, the other nine signs do not have a chance to understand a person’s soul, they cannot regret as much as gentle signs do.

For camouflage - the desire to look cool, speak in a rough, harsh voice, and, of course, be embarrassed about your tears, which are always very close to your eyes. I really want to hide my defenselessness, not to give way to a kind and gentle heart.

Human communication

Human communication, or, scientifically speaking, social and spatial orientation, refers us either to sociology or to Jung’s socionic doctrine, which extremely overestimate the moment of communication. In fact, social orientation does not have very clear external manifestations and operates in a limited range of creative activities. In addition, the sociality of signs is different in the East, in the West and in states with an imperial rhythm. But with all these reservations, communication is more important than psychology, which in itself is no small thing.

This layout explains how a person interacts with the living space around him (goes into the depths, spreads over the surface, or wants to stabilize the situation). And also how he relates to society, strives to despise it, become higher, become an obedient servant of social requests, or enter the flesh of society, merge with it.

The classic names were introduced by Jung and are well known: introvert and extrovert. However, Jung missed the third option - orthodoxy. Introverts are closed signs, extroverts are open signs. Orthodox are those who protect a limited territory and the stability of their position.

Open signs (Rat, Cat, Horse, Rooster). The initial orientation of the signs directs them towards endless expansion in breadth. Such people need to strive to learn about everything in the world, but there is no need to dig too deep in any place. Progress is perceived by them as a great expansion.

The social orientation of open signs is such that they are like children and are in a subordinate position in relation to society; they serve society, while trying to be social favorites. Thus, it is openness that is most dependent on success in society.

There is practically no doubt that outer space, so uncomfortable for the orthodox signs, for the open sign that the home is native, after the Horse the Rat and the Cat are joining the leaders of the space, is not so bad in space for the Rooster.

The most famous phenomenon of open signs is that of opera composers. Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner (both Roosters), Mikhail Glinka and Pyotr Tchaikovsky (both Rats), Giacomo Puccini, Dmitry Shostakovich and Igor Stravinsky (all Horses), Sergei Prokofiev (Cat).

Closed signs (Boar, Tiger, Snake, Monkey). Their spatial orientation is associated with finding shelter, escaping pursuit, and playing hide and seek. This should not be understood too straightforwardly, since you can hide in a crowd. In any case, it is better to be opaque and mysterious, declaring your secrecy everywhere.

You shouldn’t try to figure out everything that is in the world, but in some areas you need to get to the very essence, drilling a well to the very bottom, if, of course, it is found. Progress with such signs is understood as a smooth evolution.

Thus, everything that a closed sign does must be deep and, as it is fashionable to say now, esoteric. The fact that closed ideas are not clear is not so important. So dig, dig and dig... As Fyodor Dostoevsky (Snake) did in his novels, Anton Chekhov (Monkey) in his plays, Boris Pasternak (Tiger) in his poems, and Michel Nostradamus (Boar) in his predictions.

Orthodox signs (Ox, Dragon, Goat, Dog). Protecting the territory, walking around the chain, not wanting to expand or deepen, but only protecting the designated area. Stability, order, immutability in everything.

Keeping traditions, receiving the most traditional education and upbringing, like your father, like your grandfather and great-grandfather. Perception of the world as an eternally unchanging circle. All kinds of reincarnation and cycles. A clear rejection of progress.

The maximum achievements of the sign are in a special kind of poetry, the most regular, the most rhymed. Let's not forget that almost all the main names of Russian poetry are within the framework of orthodoxy - Alexander Pushkin (Goat), Mikhail Lermontov (Dog), Alexander Blok, Afanasy Fet (Dragons), Alexey Konstantinovich Tolstoy (Bull). The world list begins with the Bull: Dante Alighieri (Bull), Francesco Petrarca (Dragon), Garcia Lorca (Dog).

Human Temperament

It is impossible to belittle a person’s energy status; most of our life reactions are explained precisely by a person’s energy state. There is energy, and then we are cheerful, cheerful, and friendly. There is no energy, and we begin to get angry, become sour, and give up. However, following fashion and solving all problems by replenishing energy reserves is also stupid. We need balance, the same balance that makes this layout middle in importance (more important than psychology and sociology, but less important than ideology and fate).

The type of human temperament is designed to give answers to two main questions: first, where, in what element (nature, space, biofield, information) do certain signs draw strength? And secondly, how do the signs see the world: light and joyful or dark and ugly?

The classical names of temperaments are in the following correspondence: natural optimists - sanguine, cosmic optimists - phlegmatic, dramatic signs - choleric, skeptical signs - melancholic.

Natural optimists (Boar, Horse, Ox). Since we are natural optimists, it follows that Horses, Boars and Bulls need to take their energy directly from nature, swimming in rivers, lakes and seas, walking through steppes, forests and deserts, climbing mountains, plunging into the abyss, crossing meridians and parallels.

Of course, each person is free to find his own personal specificity - for some the forest gives more energy, for others the sea. The most important thing is to separate the flies from the cutlets. Not the sea as a place of communication with people, but the sea itself, cleared of people as much as possible. Also, a trip to the forest should not have a picnic with colleagues as its goal, but rather communicate with the forest.

In addition, it is very important that nature is spectrally pure, clean smells, unpolluted landscapes, the taste of spring water, the sounds of the wind without any admixture of industrial noise, and so on. It is this perception that will return a person to the memories of the primitive state. Therefore, in emergency cases of energy depletion, it is necessary to go completely wild for a while, to become a goblin, a merman or a snowman.

Does this mean that natural optimists should live exclusively in nature? Not at all. A car doesn't sit at a gas station all day. I refueled and drove on. Likewise, a natural optimist should turn to nature precisely when the batteries are low and it’s time to recharge.

The role of natural optimists in the energy pyramid of humanity is extremely great: taking energy where it is abundant (sunsets, sunrises, sea surf, the sound of rain, rustling leaves...), optimists will give energy to dramatists, who, in turn, will “feed” skeptics who will create the basis for the existence of cosmists.

The colors with which optimists paint the world are the most joyful. There are specifics: Horses most easily express their love of life in books for children and musical works, for Bulls the energy flows most powerfully from paintings, and Pigs are especially cheerful in films (mostly actors, but also directors).

And, of course, natural optimists are the most ardent promoters of the natural way of life, as well as the main advocates of nature and guides around it.

For many years, “The Travelers Club” was headed by Yuri Senkevich (Bull), “In the Animal World” was hosted by Vasily Peskov (Horse) for a very long time, and then Nikolai Drozdov (Bull) came, who kissed the most terrible reptiles on the screen. But Ivan Zatevakhin, who hosts the very informative “Dialogues about Animals,” was born in the year of the Pig.

Cosmic optimists (Tiger, Rooster, Dragon). Cosmic optimism on the main question - where to get strength? - answers very vaguely - in space. Of course, we are not talking about the space where rockets fly. We are talking about the world of dreams, illusions, prayers.

Some will meditate, some will go to church to pray, others will need high poetry to connect to the cosmos, and for others it is enough to lie down on the sofa and sleep for an hour or two so that the body will replenish its strength again.

What do we actually know about sleep, about that magical mechanism that in a matter of minutes returns us physical strength, freshness of mind, and most importantly, enthusiasm and desire for new things? Not so much, it is only clear that in the sleep mechanism there is something similar to a damp rag, erasing numerous inscriptions from the surface of the board (cerebral cortex), making room for new information.

Thus, if natural energy flows into a person at the moment when his feelings are as open as possible, then cosmic energy will enter if one disconnects as much as possible from the outside world and turns to that same inner cosmos.

Temples and houses of worship must meet these conditions. Everything in them should be anti-natural - smells alien to nature, strange sounds, unnatural light. The thicker the temple walls, the easier it is for cosmists to connect to their fuel type.

The coloring of the world produced by cosmic optimists is quite light, but not too joyful. There is still something lean, sluggish and jelly-like in religious and meditative techniques. In addition, cosmic energy is asocial. She calls for detachment from the bustle of the world. Like, our earthly life is a temporary state, and therefore is it worth especially twitching?

In addition to the obvious religious merits, cosmic optimists have another fiery passion - philosophy. Immanuel Kant (Dragon), Oswald Spengler (Dragon), Georg Hegel (Tiger), Søren Kierkegaard (Rooster)… A philosophical touch is present in everything that Tigers, Dragons and Roosters do. That is why their novels are so boring, be they Ivan Turgenev (Tiger) or Boris Pasternak (Tiger), Ronald Tolkien (Dragon) or Anatole France (Dragon), William Faulkner (Rooster) or Louis Aragon (Rooster). That is why their music is so majestic and pathetic, the operas of Richard Wagner (Rooster), the symphonies of Ludwig van Beethoven (Tiger) or Sergei Rachmaninoff (Rooster).

Dramatic signs (Snake, Rat, Goat). The main problem - where to get energy - is easily solved, because there are so many “skins” around in which the life-giving energy of human communication splashes. Yes, you read that right, we will talk about vampires, good old leeches that suck out bad blood, as well as those villains who are capable of completely bleeding a person.

Not in nature and not in chapels, but only in live human communication will dramatic signs regain lost strength, improve their damaged health, and add color to their cheeks.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said it best: “The only true luxury is the luxury of human communication.” He knew what he was talking about, he was born in the year of the Rat. So communicate and communicate again, as Saint-Exupéry bequeathed. No seclusion, no solitude. And in the forest, and in the mountains, and in the temple of God, the dramatist will seek only communication, a process associated with emotional exchange.

To avoid confusion and mixing of different types of fuel, it is necessary to communicate with people not on an informational level, but on an emotional one. Rational consciousness must be turned off, and emotional consciousness must be maximized.

In emergency cases, when it is necessary to obtain a large amount of energy, a special vampire technique is used. An energetically excess object must be relaxed and peaceful, it must be charmed and appeased, perhaps fed or given a drink. Then there is a sudden attack, some ridiculous insult (puncture). An inexperienced object will definitely open up, explode from the inside and begin to radiate the energy of communication in a generous flow. Don’t yawn here - draw energy in buckets.

Most dramatizers paint the world in two ways - very gloomy black always alternates with fiercely brilliant. William Shakespeare (Rat), for example, lived and worked in exactly this schedule. Either he will write a gloomy “Macbeth”, or something funny, for example, “The Taming of the Shrew”, or “Hamlet”, or “Twelfth Night”. Pyotr Tchaikovsky (Rat) lived his life in alternating very dark and very light music. Alexander Pushkin (Goat) acted in the same vein, alternating dark and bright colors. Moreover, what is important is that paints were rarely mixed within one work. Perhaps “A Feast in the Time of Plague,” which provided a very successful slogan for this type of temperament.

In Snakes, the alternation of colors is less common; usually only dark ones are used (Fyodor Dostoevsky) or only light ones (Arkady Averchenko), however, the greatest Snake, Nikolai Gogol, still alternated light and darkness, replacing the joyful, whatever you say, tone of “The Inspector General” or “Marriages” to the gloomy world of “The Overcoat” or the eerie absurdism of “The Nose”.

The abundance of Snakes, Goats or Rats among magicians, sorcerers, psychics and simply doctors should not frighten us. While these leeches are bleeding us bad blood, everything goes well, a healing effect is observed. But long-term contact with such medicine should be alarming, because along with the “bad” energy, the “good” energy will also begin to flow away.

Skeptical signs (Monkey, Cat, Dog). The paradox of this energy group is that, on the one hand, they are socially passive and do not greatly affect the specific human troubles and concerns of skeptics. On the other hand, skeptics are called upon to communicate a lot with people, because the source of their energy is intelligent conversations.

Thus, it is necessary to communicate, but try not to arouse emotionally significant topics in the conversation; it is necessary to transfer the conversation into the mainstream of theoretical, mental reasoning, with a large degree of abstraction.

It’s easy to see that to satisfy a low-level energy hunger, you don’t need an interlocutor at all; you can turn to a smart book, talk (through a book) with the great thinkers of the past.

It may seem that this is the type of intelligent person who is ready to feed on books and smart conversations. In fact, skeptics are also vampires, only softer compared to dramatizers. With their endless, drawn-out conversations, they draw out from people the energy of attention, the energy of admiration for the mind of the talker. In addition, a skeptical approach to life should arouse opposition in the interlocutor, a desire to convince the whining vampire that everything is not so bad. It is at this moment that a stream of positive energy will flow out of the person, which the skeptic will happily chew on.

It may seem that skeptical type vampirism is not very dangerous. This is true, a skeptic will not carry away much energy. But his vampirism has absolutely no healing effect (like the dramatists), so the losses, although small, are completely inevitable.

The coloring of the world by skeptics tends towards gray-brown tones. However, you can always dispel boredom and dullness with the help of a good joke. No one needs a joke more than skeptics. They are the main customers of comedies. You can't stir up a skeptic with drama, only with a smart joke. It is precisely with the dominance of skeptical signs among writing humorists that the belief is connected that all comedians are gloomy people.

What we now call the “window to the world” (TV), thanks to endless analytical programs, is actually a window into which a lot of our energy flies, because all analysts were born under the star of skepticism. Evgeny Kiselev ("Results") - Monkey, Vladimir Pozner ("Times") - Dog, Mikhail Leontyev ("However") - Dog, Vladimir Solovyov ("To the Barrier") - Cat.

Structure of fate

In fact, we are talking about the most important thing: how to move through life, what to hope for. Therefore, in terms of its significance, this layout of signs is second only to the ideological structure. In this regard, the main thing is to evaluate this unprecedented classification and entrust it with a leading position in understanding a person’s character.

The structure of fate provides answers to two main questions: the first is which gods, roughly speaking, to pray to. Should you rely on your own strengths, hope for higher intervention, or trust in fortune? The second is how to determine your purpose in earthly life based on the external signs of fate.

Classical science blundered the layout of the signs of fate, but don’t we intuitively call someone a fatalist, someone a pioneer, an initiator, and someone lucky, lucky. Well, in a very American way - “a self-made man.”

Amateur signs (Dragon, Horse, Monkey). You can and should rely only on yourself. That is, of course, trust in God, but don’t be bad yourself. In order for everything to go well, it is necessary to add the prefix “self-” to each action. That is, now it is not treatment, but self-medication, not training, but self-education, as well as introspection, self-flagellation, self-praise. And so on and so forth.

Of course, this does not mean a complete rejection of the services of a clinic, school or shops. But on the other hand, the more you do on your own, the greater your luck. Lucky amulets include furniture made by yourself, a bathhouse built with your own hands or a self-polished tennis court, a sewn dress or a knitted blanket. The more such things surround a person, the stronger his fortune. Further - more: you must have your own thoughts in your head, you must write your own books, you must make your own forecasts.

Now about external manifestations. If a do-it-yourselfer’s career begins rapidly and success comes in his youth, then there is a danger of falling into a trap. Prodigies should especially be wary of trouble. Nadya Rusheva (Dragon), Maria Bashkirtseva (Monkey), Marina Tsvetaeva (Dragon), Fryderyk Chopin (Horse) and many other people who showed genius early on later had problems with energy, thirst for life and health.

But slow development, with a very weak beginning and gradual (without jerks) progress, is very fruitful for amateur signs. This is how Ivan Bunin (Horse) walked through life, constantly raising the level of his prose, this is how the philosopher Immanuel Kant (Dragon) developed, this is how playwright Anton Chekhov (Monkey) systematically “squeezed out a slave” from himself.

Pioneer signs (Goat, Rooster, Boar). Before us is a sign of fate, calling for a hectic lifestyle, changing places of work and habitat, and searching for something new. In this situation, the main thing is not to fall into something routine that requires constancy and immutability. It’s a completely different matter if you have to constantly come up with something, open new businesses, and establish new processes. But it is difficult for a pioneer to stay at the achieved height; it is easier to give up everything and start from scratch.

This does not mean that the pioneer does not have the chance to see the fruits of his deeds, that he cannot complete anything. Just like other signs, pioneers write books and produce films. It’s just that their beginning is always very meaningful and brilliant, but there are always problems with the ending, and the quality is worse, and there is little meaning. And it happens that there is simply no worthy ending. Even such a titan as Pushkin (Koza) did not finish “Eugene Onegin”, and he simply has a lot of unfinished poems.

The main glory of the pioneers is in invention, in the discovery of new things. Columbus discovered America (Goat), and died under a fence.

A good sign in the life of a pioneer is the lack of serious systematic education; a pioneer must be to a certain extent gray, so as not to know about the impossibility of something, not to be shackled by various dogmas. Of course, going out into life as an uneducated person is risky, and therefore it is best to get an education, but use it not for its intended purpose, but only tangentially.

Fatal signs (Dog, Rat, Tiger). Pedagogy is ineffective, the school of life is insignificant, all fate seems to be written once and for all. And since all the moves are pre-recorded, all that remains is to move the chess pieces. Another thing is that it is not so easy to look into the book of destinies in which these moves are recorded. You have to look for signs in every event, go to fortune tellers and fortune tellers, and try to guess your fate yourself. In any case, you shouldn’t rely too much on yourself, but praying one more time won’t hurt. As they say, rely on yourself, but for any decision, ask the Almighty for a sign.

This does not mean that all fatalists are slackers or indecisive people. Hard workers, persistent and persistent, will never deviate from the path if they are set on it from above. If not, then you won’t find more lost and pitiful people.

The author of “Fatalist” is Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov (Dog), the author of a universal treatise on the inevitability of fate called “Moscow - Cockerels” Venedikt Erofeev (Tiger), Bulat Okudzhava (Rat), who wrote in three couplets the life of a woman (“And the ball flies”) and many other fatalists are singers of predestination and gratitude to fate.

Signs of luck (Ox, Cat, Snake). To lure luck, to take risks and win, to jump over your head - this is the lot of the lucky ones. Thousands and millions of people envy them, not suspecting how difficult their lot is and how precarious their position in the world of people is. Yes, they fly to the very top... But how difficult it is to stay there! They earn a lot, but easy money can always go away just as easily as it came. There are even several specialists who undertake to teach how to attract good luck. Usually these are Snakes. However, the question arises: who to teach? The same fortune-makers as themselves? So they know everything themselves! But for others this method is not suitable.

How quickly Julius Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, Alexander Kerensky, John Kennedy (all Snakes) ascended to the very top of world power! But which of them was able to stay at this peak? Here is Mikhail Khodorkovsky (Cat) - he earned the most, but he was the first to fall under the wrath of the prosecutor's office (and is it the only one?). And how short-lived was the fortune of the world conquerors - Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler (all Bulls)?

Women's thinking

So we have come to the most important thing in a person - his thinking. It is thinking that distinguishes us from animals. Our, as it seems to us, rich psychology does not yet make us human, because it is almost entirely physiological. Our communication, our sociality is already a step forward, but in this we have not gone very far from the animal world; wolves also have sociality. Temperament, energetic diversity, the presence of our own energy portrait makes us beings of a new type, this is a decisive step towards human individuality. Next is a sign of fate. Here we have already broken away from the animal state; an animal has no purpose, just as an empty and meaningless person does not have one. Only he deserves the title of a person who has found his Destiny. And yet the final verdict is made by thinking. Only those who can think independently, overcoming the layers of generic stereotypes, are human.

Surprisingly, it is precisely at the moment when a person becomes a Human that he immediately loses his unity, dividing into two branches - female and male. Moreover, the difference in the thinking of women and men is fundamental. The thinking of men is united, the linguistic (figurative) level is ideally matched with the type of thinking itself. As a result, the overall thinking of men is of an active creative nature. In women, the language level is in strong contradiction with the type of thinking itself, as a result we get thinking with a crack. The consequence of cracked thinking is a sharp decrease in creative potential, but at the same time the ability to perceive other people's ideas also sharply increases. This is how a man gets the opportunity to realize a fast creative genius, and a woman gets the opportunity to realize a slow genius of perception.

So, the female sign is bifurcated. Outwardly, the female sign copies the male one, but as for the type of thinking, it is different, from the other three signs. Thus, logical (in image) signs have a strong-willed type of thinking. Strong-willed (in image) signs have a logical type of thinking. Realistic (in image) signs have mystical thinking. Mystics (by image) have a realistic type of thinking.

Logicians with a strong-willed appearance (Tiger, Dog, Horse). External signs of strong-willed women: a powerful voice, stature, piercing gaze - everything shows their ability to rule the world. But God forbid you buy into this picture and give them power. Then we are faced with a sea of ​​ideas and no ability to make an objective choice among these ideas. As a result, any business falls apart. Unless the Dog has some rudiments of will.

It’s a completely different matter if a female logician is entrusted with managing a project in which everything is written out and formalized. Fast and flexible intelligence copes remarkably well with the most voluminous and intellectually intensive problems. The power of intelligence is such that a rare man will be able to compete and match...

Among the evidence of the strong-willed texture of these women is their ability to tame predatory animals. Irina Bugrimova (Dog), Tamara Brock (Dog), Tamara Buslaeva (Dog), Zuleikha Farukh (Horse), Margarita Nazarova (Tiger) are great trainers of lions and tigers. The famous film star Brigitte Bardot (Dog) calmly enters a cage with wild wolves, and they do not touch her.

When confronted with real politics, they are lost. Empress Anna Leopoldovna (Dog), having received power without any effort on her part, just as easily gave it to Elizabeth Petrovna.

Mary Stuart (Tiger), rightful heir to the English throne. Everything was given to her with “undeserved ease,” but initially favorable conditions did not become the prologue to a great reign. Her life is not the confident march of a ruler, but the chaotic wanderings of an adventurer.

Queen Christina Augusta of Sweden (Tiger). Her main desire was to see herself in the circle of artists and scientists, to patronize them, but not with the goal of turning their knowledge to the benefit of the people, she simply felt good with them. Her environment includes museums, universities, scientists and philosophers.

As befits logicians, these stately and outwardly self-confident women constantly experience inner uncertainty. What is called inferiority complexes.

Outwardly confident and even aggressive divas such as Romy Schneider (Tiger), Marilyn Monroe (Tiger), Madonna (Dog), Patricia Kaas (Horse) admitted to bouts of shyness and self-flagellation.

Emily Bronte (Tiger) refused to leave the house due to pathological shyness. Emily Gaskell (Horse) was forced to study literature by her husband, Agatha Christie (Tiger) was seated at her desk by her mother.

Barbra Streisand (Horse) tried to treat her stage fright in clinics and hospitals.

And the reverse move from internal to external. With such convulsive inner vanity, outwardly they seem to be made of bronze and marble - solid symbols. Elizabeth II (Tiger), Marilyn Monroe (Tiger), Brigitte Bardot (Dog),

Lyubov Orlova (Tiger), Petition Casta (Horse) - each of them happily plays the role of a national symbol.

It is increasingly difficult for these women to hide their intellect: Germaine de Stael (Dog) gained fame as a great intellectual; Emily Bronte (Tiger) was found to have a powerful mind; Louise Cole (Horse) put the value of ideas above all else.

Increased intelligence often becomes the cause of personal unsettlement, because the requirements for the level of men are too high.

Barbara McClintock (Tiger) - Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Maria Geppert-Mayer (Horse) - Nobel Prize in Physics, Dorothy Hodgkin (Dog) - Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Gertrude Elion (Horse) - Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Christina Nuslin-Wolard (Horse) - Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Maria Agnesi (Dog) - Italian mathematician, Sofia Kovalevskaya (Dog) - Russian mathematician, Emmy Noether (Horse) - German mathematician, certainly the strongest female mathematician, Emilie du Châtelet le Tonnelier (Dog) - French mathematician and physicist, Lise Meitner (Tiger) - the largest radiochemist and nuclear physicist, Yulia Lermontova (Horse) - the first Russian female chemist, Doctor of Science, Zinaida Ermolyeva (Dog) - microbiologist, creator of antibiotics.

Film directors: Dinara Asanova (Horse), Larisa Shepitko (Tiger), Kira Muratova (Dog), Nadezhda Kosheverova (Tiger), Leni Riefenstahl (Tiger), Margarete von Trotha (Horse).

Strong-willed people of uncertain appearance (Snake, Rooster, Bull). The main feature of the signs is precisely this: with all their appearance, gestures, eyes, and sometimes words, these women demonstrate extreme uncertainty and inability to take decisive action. In fact, they are able to develop in themselves a will that is fantastic, tough, powerful and completely adequate to the real situation. The result is clear: they created the highest examples of female power in world history. The structural horoscope has been keeping this long list since the first days of its existence.

However, in real life we ​​encounter not only empresses and princesses, and therefore we need to be prepared for the fact that Roosters, Bulls and Snakes will turn out to be modest, shy and indecisive. They will talk about complexes, that they are afraid of everything. This is a mask. You need to force them to throw it off, and then you will see, maybe not immediately, the strength of their hands taking this life by the throat.

And all these “iron ladies” have a very weak link, which they almost never protect and become extremely vulnerable. This is Love. Very amorous, often aggressive in their love. When passion is great, they literally sweep away everything in their path. But the power of love is their weakness. They are inexperienced in love, they do not know how to regulate the power of love, they are also not trained to kindle or extinguish it. In a word, no matter how strong and sophisticated they are in politics, they are just as helpless in love.

It is known what difficulties Catherine II encountered, how much love damaged her reputation over the centuries. Princess Diana had big problems, and it is possible that she died because of love. Alla Pugacheva (Bull) - the ruler of the stage, is not vulnerable to anything except the same love. There could be many more examples.

Beauties with a cold mind (Rat, Dragon, Monkey). External manifestations are of the brightest order. Everything speaks of passions, of love madness. The arsenal of means to attract male attention is the widest.

But behind all this haberdashery display is the cold and clear mind of a magnificent counter, an amazing stylist and a very sober person. Realists, and Rats, Monkeys and Dragons should be called that way, are, of course, created for love, but they will always prefer to kindle love in someone than to burn themselves.

An amazing metamorphosis occurs with realists when they describe their love. It turns out like this: either love or describe. In any case, realists are undoubtedly the best in women's fiction. Rats are especially good. Ethel Lilian Voynich, Charlotte Bronte, George Sand, Margaret Mitchell, Marietta Shaginyan. And so on.

Pushkin’s wife Natalya Goncharova (Monkey) is “the purest example of pure charm,” tall, slender, pale face with a meek, shy and melancholic expression, something airy and touching in her entire appearance. And behind all this angelic beauty there is always a sober and very cold mind.

Alexander Dumas the son about his wife Natalya Naryshkina (Rat): “What I love most about her is that she is completely and completely a woman, from the tips of her nails to the depths of her soul... This physically infinitely seductive creature...”

Salome Andronnikova (Rat) - female aviator. Her beauty was, as it were, made for painting. Her portraits were painted by Petrov-Vodkin, Somov, Sokolov, Shukhaev, Sorin, Grigoriev, and then by the British and French. An American sculptor came, sculpted the bust, legs, arms - they sang the whole thing and separately in parts.

If you didn’t inherit any special physical characteristics from your parents, then realists still captivate with the beauty, even if not of the devil, but of their gestures, voice, gait, and so on.

The beauty of Cleopatra (Rat) has been recognized for centuries, but let us listen to the testimony of an eyewitness. Plutarch: “The beauty of this woman was not what is called incomparable and amazes at first sight, but her manner was distinguished by irresistible charm, and therefore her appearance, combined with a rare convincing speech, with enormous charm, visible in every word, in every movement, firmly etched into my soul..."

Beauty is very integral and harmonious. But there is no real integrity. The love call finds no real answer. Sometimes, in response to a man’s passion, a cold shower of refusal follows, but more often than not, a manic passion for various types of consolidation of the union triumphs. Elizabeth Taylor (Monkey), a wealthy and independent woman, endlessly turned her love affairs into marriages, sometimes several times with the same man. Cleopatra married each of her great lovers (Caesar, Mark Antony). And of course I want more money...

George Sand (Rat). Her romance novels (in two senses - literary and everyday) have been glorified for centuries. But she herself remained surprisingly cold: “What nights. How disgusting! I cannot understand what pleasure men find in this buffoonish and bestial gymnastics. I can't wait until he falls asleep so I can cry without interruption. So that’s what marriage is!”

Writing books is a completely different matter. Having finished one novel at night, George Sand immediately began the next one. Thoughts and observations poured out onto paper with ease.

Thackeray shed tears over Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre" (Dragon). “The Diary” of Maria Bashkirtseva (Monkey) was appreciated by Anatole France and Albert Camus.

The ability of realists to learn languages ​​is amazing. Elizaveta Kulman (Dragon) lived 17 years, knew 11 languages, and spoke eight. Alexandra Kollontai (Monkey) was a true polyglot. The same Cleopatra spoke with almost any foreign ambassador in his language.

And among the realists there are many magnificent athletes. Apparently, their bodies are truly perfect, and sober calculation helps to do everything right. The successes are especially great in athletics.

The flip side of harmony and inner balance are uncontrollable emotional outbursts. There is nothing wrong with this, you need to let the nervous energy splash out, wait until peace is established. But we need to fight the causes of emotional outbursts - marriage, good health, care, financial reserves, a calm, measured life - this is the basis of psychological health.

Ordinary-looking witches (Cat, Boar, Goat). While external manifestations are more camouflage than advertising, these women have bottomless mystical power, an inexhaustible reserve of love magic. Maybe they alone in the whole world, without unnecessary tricks and fantasies, are able to understand the rushing male soul. And this is worth a lot. But the most striking thing is that, having such high power over a man, witches remain independent and rarely cling to a partner. And this costs even more. For freedom for men is sacred.

In encyclopedic dictionaries, this group is the most difficult to detect. Everything has been sorted out - the realists took the fame of writers, the strong-willed signs took power, the logical signs took intellectual achievements.

One of the legends of women's charms, women's magic is Lilya Brik (Cat). Viktor Shklovsky wrote about her: “She could be sad, feminine, capricious, proud, empty, fickle, in love, smart and whatever.” Has it become clearer? I see that it is not. But she is responsible for the love and devotion of Osip Brik, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Corps Commander Primakov, Sergei Parajanov and many others.

The femme fatale of Fyodor Dostoevsky and Vasily Rozanov Apollinaria Suslova (Boar). Outwardly she was slow, her gestures were stingy, almost lazy, she often seemed apathetic, languid, but inside everything was worried and seething. She was independent, smart and infinitely proud and proud. Zinaida Gippius (Snake) about her: “It’s worth looking into her eyes, even old ones, to believe in Rozanov’s daily tears, in a drowned pupil, in much more, right down to Dostoevsky’s falling in love.” In her every movement one could see that elusive force that the Americans call the “call of sex”, and the French - the “promise of happiness.”

Coco Chanel (Goat), in a way only known to her, was able to create standards of eternal femininity, teaching this to the French women, and after them all the women of the world.

They also love everything mysterious and mystical, which is why crude realists always suspect them of fraud and deliberate mystification of society. All life is continuous visions, signs, mystical phenomena. This was the case with Josephine Beauharnais (Goat), Napoleon's wife, Helena Blavatsky (Cat), poetess Larisa Vasilyeva (Boar). Well, there is simply no doubt that they have prophetic dreams. Lydia Vertinskaya (Boar) in a dream received from her husband numbers that exactly corresponded to the number of his grave at the Vagankovskoye cemetery. The prophetic dreams of many beautiful representatives of this magical trio have been documented.

It is surprising that, sometimes caring less about their appearance than others, they hardly age and remain sexually attractive until old age, or rather, simply until old age, because they do not have old age. Lily Brik never grew old (86 years old and committed suicide because of love). There is no old age for Lyudmila Gurchenko (Boar), Catherine Deneuve (Goat) and many other women of these signs.

Despite a very strong will, women from the years of the Cat, Goat and Pig cannot manage people wisely. Instead of real politics, there is intrigue, there is no clear plan, there is no real assessment of the situation, many ideas are in the nature of delusions.

Men's thinking

The temporary withdrawal of women into the shadows, the so-called patriarchy, is associated exclusively with the era of rapid progress and the need to develop a huge number of new ideas. Now, when humanity is on the threshold of an era of curtailing progress, the importance of perceptive female thinking will increase, while men find themselves in a humiliating position when you can’t come up with practically anything new and are left, one way or another, to rehash old tunes. In this sense, knowledge of the peculiarities of one’s thinking, its typology, and the body of generic ideas increases enormously.

If we talk about the widely circulated banality about the two-hemisphere structure of our thinking, then our logicians are left-hemisphere people, and realists are right-hemisphere people. Then strong-willed people are hemisphereless, and mystics are simply brainless. Of course, this is a joke, which is intended to show how dangerous banality is in ideas about human thinking. But seriously, read what is written below.

Will (Horse, Dog, Tiger). Will is not a minor character trait, it is an ideology, a main line of behavior. The three signs listed are the power of the world gathered into a fist. Everyone else lives without a real plan, sways on the waves of life and inevitably submits to someone else’s will, and only these three remain masters of their own and others’ destinies. Only the three of them are not too lazy to connect together reality and logical schemes, only they are trying to connect the past and the future with one trajectory, placing the present in the center of the resulting axis.

Will is the most complex type of thinking, because it is very difficult to squeeze reality into a logical scheme, and it is even more difficult to grow the meat of reality onto the frame of a logical scheme. However, strong-willed people succeed in all this. As a result, the greatest rulers and the greatest thinkers are born. Moreover, the greatness of both of them lies not only in momentary success, but in innovation, in their greatness growing over the centuries. Will and innovation are the laying out of highways for humanity, highways along which it will go forward.

Buddha and Muhammad, Charlemagne and Augustus Octavian, Genghis Khan and Akbar, Roosevelt, Churchill and Charles de Gaulle, Lenin and Fidel Castro - all these are Horses, Tigers and Dogs. People who have absorbed the will of millions and billions of people into their will.

The most important property of will is the ability to work and live contrary to herd instincts, contrary to the will of the crowd. For others, this is very hard work, but a strong-willed man goes against the crowd easily. Lev Karsavin (Horse) was known before the revolution as a freethinker, after the revolution he became a professor at the Theological Institute. He was expelled from Russia, but by the will of fate he ended up again in the USSR, where he was arrested and convicted in 1950. Imprisonment in the camp brought him an incredible creative rise. Despite his advanced age (68 years), he wrote 10 books in the camps, and expressed the quintessence of his philosophy in the form of a wreath of sonnets and a terzin cycle. At the same time, he knew about his illness and imminent death (1952).

Strong-willed signs make their exploits very ordinary and unpretentious. Beethoven (Tiger) composed music while deaf. Stevie Wonder (Tiger) is a blind musician; you won’t hear anything tragic in his music, everything is very light and joyful. Janusz Korczak (Tiger) easily and without unnecessary noise voluntarily went into the oven and burned there with the children whom he could not leave. Stephen Hawking (Horse), one of the greatest physicists of our time, has been paralyzed (multiple sclerosis) for more than 30 years. Valery Brumel (Horse) returned to high jumping after a terrible accident.

There may be a feeling that we are looking at supermen, monsters who know no fears or doubts. But the situation is exactly the opposite. The will of these three signs is the fruit of long and difficult thoughts and doubts, and the price for willpower is severe attacks of fear. It is safe to say that viscous, exhausting fear is a constant background throughout the life of strong-willed people.

Another thing is that not everyone admits to their fears. Peter Kropotkin (Tiger) wrote about Alexander II (Tiger): “In the face of real danger, he showed complete self-control and calm courage, and yet he constantly lived in fear of dangers that existed only in his imagination.” Thus, a strong-willed person is afraid before the event, a weak-willed person is afraid after...

Will is power, power over fate, power over oneself, but above all it is power over people. Sergei Korolev (the Horse), who brought humanity into space, was a very powerful man, but the end in itself was not power, but the success of the business. At the preliminary stage, he was very democratic, adored collegiality, and picked up any ideas if they helped the cause. But when the decision was made, he turned into an unusually tough and demanding leader.

Although they know how to influence others, strong-willed people themselves cannot stand pressure in any form. It’s better not to try, only persuasion, only a kind attitude.

The flip side of a wonderful will is the uncontrollable heat of love. A huge, warm heart can greatly let down a strong-willed person. That is why Louis XIV (the Tiger) literally conjured: “I order you: if you notice that a woman, whoever she is, is taking power over me and controlling me, you must warn me about it. It will take me no more than 24 hours to get rid of it.”

Logic (Ox, Snake, Rooster). Logic is not only a tool for solving arithmetic problems, it is an ideology, a worldview, a conviction that the world is schematic and subject to its formal laws. The three signs listed are a huge force in any field subject to clear, rigid and formal laws, be it architecture, jurisprudence, animation, and, of course, military affairs. On the time axis, logicians, of course, choose the future, only in it they feel comfortable, because the future is always a bare diagram, devoid of specifics. When turning to the past, logicians always get confused, because the past is a heap of details, and it is difficult to schematize it completely.

Logical thinking looks for logic everywhere, but finds it only where time and space dominate - the two most grandiose formalized categories. The greatness of these signs is especially obvious in military affairs. The logicians are the best in three categories at once: building an army, developing military theory, and, most importantly, their victories on the battlefield. On a global scale, the Bulls are better known: such as Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Beauharnais, Ney, Soult, Wellington. In Russia the situation is more objective, in first place are the Roosters: Suvorov, Ermolov, Bagration, Frunze, Konev, Bagramyan, Meretskov; further Snakes: Rumyantsev, Tukhachevsky, Barclay de Tolly, and Bulls: Menshikov, Kutuzov.

Moreover, many of them had innate military talent. Thus, Mikhail Frunze (Rooster), who had never known defeat in his life, a profound military theorist and army builder, had no military education at all, and his appearance at the front in 1919 was a surprise to his closest associates. To transform from a party functionary into a great military strategist in one year is something unprecedented. Suvorov (Rooster) took part in 60 battles during his life and won everywhere (!). Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the troops he created was such that they entered into battle and defeated an enemy outnumbered 10 times. (Now, however, there are wise men who say that the Russians have always fought with numbers, and not with skill.)

The essence and meaning of the logical element in general and the art of war in particular is that it is not logic in general that wins, but the most modern and complex logic, just as a new computer is always better than an old one. The sphere of logic is most sensitive to progress. New weapons require new tactics and strategy, and vice versa, a new strategy requires new weapons. This is how wars drag on technological progress for many millennia.

By the way, the situation is exactly the same in architecture. New materials and new technologies are radically changing architectural concepts. Conversely, new architectural ideas always require new technologies. We can say that architecture and military affairs are the two most progressive areas. However, there is more information.

Humanity will get rid of wars, but the combative, logical ideology will remain forever - this is the ideology of eternal renewal.

In addition, even in peaceful affairs, martial signs remain combative, no matter what they do. The cocky poet Evgeny Yevtushenko (Rooster) managed to make his quiet craft a combat one: “Poetry is not a peaceful chapel. Poetry is a cruel war. It has its own deceptive maneuvers. War - it must be war.”

And here’s how Korney Chukovsky saw Vladimir Mayakovsky (Snake): “Mayakovsky stood among people like a fighter with an explosive grenade in his belt... Until the end of his days, he divided the world into friends and enemies. And therefore he himself had, as it were, two appearances. With friends he was often gentle and extremely helpful. We are irreconcilable with our enemies.”

And all these endless logical slogans... Nikolai Nekrasov (Snake): “Go into the fire for the honor of your fatherland, for your convictions, for love... Go and perish blamelessly. You will not die in vain: a cause is strong when blood flows underneath it...” Even Goethe (the Snake) was honored: “Only he is worthy of life and freedom who goes to battle for them every day.”

The paradox of fantastic literature created by logical writers is amazing. They came up with a blissful utopian world where everyone loves each other, and immediately began to look for someone to fight with whom in this world.

The books of the Strugatsky brothers (Rooster, Bull) are literally filled with selfless fighters. Moreover, the cuter the hero, the better he fights. Writer Banev, stalker Shewhart, Baron Pampa, progressors... They are all the best fighters in the world. The ability to think and the ability to fight are almost universally linked by an equal sign. Stanislav Lem's cosmonauts, having returned from the stars to Earth, where aggressiveness has been destroyed, resume boxing fights.

Male logicians did not escape inferiority complexes and the associated inability to adequately evaluate themselves. That is why epaulets, stripes, laureate badges, high-profile titles are so important for logicians - all that is so indifferent to strong-willed people who know their worth.

But in the sphere of emotions, logicians are amateurs, so sometimes they seem like robots or monsters to whom ordinary human feelings are alien.

Mystic (Rat, Monkey, Dragon). A person who does not trust experience, but at the same time does not trust logic, is like a blind man, because life for him consists of nothing but surprises, everything has to be felt a hundred times. However, the darkness in which such a person lives unexpectedly gives birth to inner light, a kind of mystical insight, what is more often called mystical insight (not to be confused with intuition based on processing and generalization of experience). Thus, in the same ideology, like two sides of a coin, the super-realism of the empiricist and the surrealism of the mystic coexist. As for love, it does not contradict either this side of the coin or this. Love is all permeated with magic. But for all its grandeur, love is very concerned with details; it is all woven from little things, those same empirical everyday repetitions. As for logic and common sense, love has neither one nor the other.

On the time axis, mystics behave in the strangest way. They literally soar above time, not observing the difference between the past, present and future and recognizing only eternal problems. Good and evil, life and death, love and hate - this is a set of questions that concern mystical thinkers. Hence the unconditional leadership of mystics in world drama, which is entirely fixated on love and other eternal questions, such as “to be or not to be.” Rats are especially good. There are Shakespeare, Ibsen, Ionesco and even Edward Radzinsky with Leonid Zorin. The Monkeys are led by Chekhov and Schwartz, the Dragons by Shaw, Gorky, Rostan and Grigory Gorin.

The lack of logical and realistic limitations among mystics was accurately expressed in his time by the playwright Beaumarchais (The Rat): “Isn’t the freedom with which I surrender to the flow of my thoughts arousing admiration? I don’t give myself the trouble to sift them out or process them.” The complete opposite of the strong-willed and realists who endlessly polish their texts. Salvador Dali (Dragon) repeatedly insisted that his paintings had neither logic nor meaning.

The great Alexander Blok (Dragon) honestly admitted his ignorance of life: “They say that a writer must understand everything and immediately explain everything clearly. And at the age of forty, I understand less than at twenty, every day I think different things, and I want to live, and I want to sleep, and my head hurts from all this worldwide mess.” Blok always sought to free himself from meaning and even coined the term “sacred idiocy.”

But Nikolai Berdyaev (Dog) about Vasily Rozanov: “Rozanov thought not logically, but physiologically. Mystical sensuality is diffused throughout his entire being.”

Mystics are at the origins of numerous movements in art - surrealism (dreams and hallucinations) or, for example, the theater of the absurd.

The forerunners of surrealism are de Sade (Monkey), Gerard de Nerval (Dragon), Sigmund Freud (Dragon). The founders of surrealism Andre Breton (Monkey), Tristan Tzara (Monkey), Guillaume Apollinaire (Dragon). The greatest successes were achieved in painting by Salvador Dali (Dragon), in cinema by Luis Buñuel (Rat), Robert Desnos (Rat) and Vitezslav Nezval (Rat) in poetry. In a certain sense, our Andrei Bely (Dragon) was a surrealist; it was not without reason that his “Petersburg” was said to be “a record of delirium unprecedented in literature.”

Delirium is not always a theory, it is often the reality of Rats, Dragons and Monkeys. Maxim Gorky (Dragon), for example, described his vision this way: “I saw something terrible: inside a huge, bottomless bowl, overturned on its side, there were ears, eyes, palms of hands with outstretched fingers, rolling heads without faces, human legs walking, each separately from the other... colorful wings fly and the eyeless faces of huge bulls silently look at me.” Dali could well be envious of such delusional wealth.

In life, mystics are also very strange people; one can say that the concept of the norm for them is greatly shifted. Let's say the French poet Robert Desnos (Rat) fell into a trance in broad daylight in a crowded cafe and began to broadcast. Someone present took notes.

But what they are true professionals in and understand more than everyone else put together is love. Although I’ll be honest, all three understand love a little differently. The Monkey is a hymn to diversity and the materialization of all love fantasies, the Dragon is a specialist in nurturing ideal women, the Rat creates ideal examples of love for society. They have been masters here for a long time. So with all questions regarding love, go to them. There are even academicians and professors of love - Bulat Okudzhava, for example.

As for the will, among mystics it is very strong, but not meaningful, often reminiscent of mania. The Rat strives for water, the Monkey for the tropics, and the Dragon for the sky. But are they always aware of the meaning of their aspirations? Not understanding the true mechanisms of will, they romanticize it and heroize its manifestations. Chernyshevsky (Rat) writes about Rakhmetov, Boris Polevoy (Monkey) about Maresyev, and Nietzsche (Dragon) spins an entire philosophy around will. Mystical will is not very suitable for politics, although several great rulers did give mysticism - Ivan III the Great (Monkey), Peter I the Great (Rat), Frederick the Great (Dragon).

Realism (Cat, Boar, Goat). Intuition, experience processed by the subconscious, is, in fact, just good knowledge of reality. Accordingly, people who trust experience and continuously study reality will be called realists. Despite the severity of these definitions, realists are very sensitive, emotional people who understand beauty. Hence their desire for aesthetic perfection, perfection as the last degree of beauty. The grandiose phenomenon of completion, as the pinnacle of realism, can take quite bizarre forms, because it is not reality that completes, but world culture. Completers do not have their own ideas, but they bring others’ ideas to perfection. Thus, realists can complete any task - in literature, music, painting, chess. In order to become a true realist, a person of this sign must absorb megatons of information. The erudition of a realist is identical to the rank of completion. On the axis of time, realists choose the past, experience is everywhere in it, the son of difficult mistakes. In the future, realists do not understand anything and immediately turn from excellent students into poor students.

The specific, signature business for realists is investigation, based, as we know, on the similarity of circumstances, and not at all on deduction; in addition, they are successful and achieve a lot in those areas where subtle taste and understanding of beauty are required - design, fashion, editing . By the way, about beauty - these signs also support beauty by their personal example. So you can still call them “handsome guys”.

Where the finalizer appears, time stops, development stops, because after the top the only way is down. You won’t go further than Pushkin (Goat) and Cervantes (Goat), you won’t write a novel at a higher level than Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” (Cat), you won’t generalize world culture more powerfully than Nabokov and Borges (Boars). Modern chess is at a dead end, where the power of the Goats (Fischer and Korchnoi) was replaced by the power of the Cats (Karpov, Kasparov, Kramnik, Topalov). Well, who can argue with the fact that all of them are adequate in their scale to their erudition?

From the memoirs of Stalin’s former secretary (Cat) Bazhanov: “Gradually, myths and legends were created about Stalin. For example, about his extraordinary will, firmness and determination. It is a myth. Stalin is an extremely cautious and indecisive man. He very often did not know how to be and what to do. Many times I saw him hesitate, hesitate and rather prefer to follow events than to lead them.” This formulation is also suitable for Boars and especially for Goats.

Another Cat from those times is Leon Trotsky, and there are many myths about him. One of them is that he is a great revolutionary with a lot of progressive ideas. But here is the opinion of Mark Aldanov: “Trotsky never had and never will have ideas. In 1905, he took his revelations from Parvus, in 1917 - from Lenin. In 1928, his criticism was commonplace in the emigrant press.”

The beauty of realists is primarily the result of posing. Each of them was the most beautiful in its section. Marcel Proust, Sergei Yesenin, Sergei Vavilov, Mikhail Bulgakov, Osip Mandelstam - they were all very beautiful people, and their beauty was of a special, pacifying type, without excessive masculinity. As Mark Aldanov put it, “Leon Trotsky lived his entire life in front of a historical gallery mirror... The most proud poses were followed by the most humiliating repentances...”.

US President Ronald Reagan (Boar) was called the Hollywood Adonis (he posed for sculptors as an example of an ancient build).

But for all their amazing beauty and attractiveness to women, realists are not really made for love. They light up quickly, but cool down just as quickly.

The most important criterion for the quality of a realist as a professional and a person is his erudition. For example, Nikolai Vavilov could dictate from memory to successive stenographers entire chapters of his books with a detailed bibliography. And while already in prison, without reference literature, relying on memory, he wrote a monograph, which seems completely incredible.

Mikhail Bulgakov demonstrated a legendary level of erudition, which is amazingly proven in the Bulgakov Encyclopedia. Stalin never forgot anything, including what he read.

Vector ring

In addition to the analyzed structure of signs, I would like to say about one anomaly, the existence of which, in some hidden and not yet clear way, is inherent in the very structure of signs.

We are talking about the famous vector ring, a circular sequence of signs in which two adjacent signs form a so-called vector pair, where one sign plays the role of an energy donor (servant), and the other a powerful energy stealer (master). The energy flow in such a couple can be incredibly powerful and chaotic, and the consequences of communication are unpredictable, sometimes anecdotal, sometimes tragic.

As long as vector passions remain the property of two people, all events remain under relative control. However, it happens that the vector genie breaks out of the bottle of intimate contact and takes over a wide space. At the same time, the energy of the vector does not decrease, but increases many times over, drawing huge masses of people, sometimes entire countries and even humanity as a whole, into its movement.

In any case, you need to know about the existence of a vector ring and understand that any person who is in a vector interaction is no longer exactly the one described by its sign. In fact, a certain monster is formed inside the vector pair, the properties of which cannot be predicted in advance. The range ranges from incredibly brutal criminal tandems such as Bonnie Parker (Dog) and Clyde Barrow (Rooster) to brilliant creative tandems such as Ilya Ilf (Rooster) and Evgeniy Petrov (Cat).

It is not easy to understand how this order developed; the ring itself was discovered empirically. The only structure whose connection is completely obvious is also, in a certain sense, the mysterious structure of fate. The four groups of fate signs have a clear system of interaction through vector connections.

A vector ring does not lend itself to a systematic description, and yet it is the vector ring that reveals certain implicit aspirations of the sign, demonstrating the very vector in the direction of which the sign is moving. Therefore, it is necessary to take note of the vector ring data.

In this list, the first place in the pair is the servant, the second is the master.

Rat - Monkey. The main aspiration of the Rat is along the lines of ideology, in the development of a type of thinking. This case can be interpreted as a certain mental deficiency of the Rat, its desire to accelerate mental development.

Monkey - Snake. The main aspiration of the Monkey occurs along the line of communication, demonstrating the sign’s inability to communicate, its desire for increased sociability.

Snake - Goat. The main aspiration of the Snake lies in the area of ​​its physiology, which proves the complete and catastrophic collapse of the physiology of the sign. In fact, the Snake does not have physiology in the usual sense of the word. Thermoregulation does not work, there are no feelings of fatigue, there is something strange with sleep, then the appetite disappears, then there is no saturation limit. It’s the same with the feelings of the sign - sometimes it feels every tear, sometimes it doesn’t feel anything. It's the same with the energetic structure, which makes the Snake the only sign with a double defect.

Goat - Tiger. These signs do not have common structural properties. This means that the Goat sign has no obvious defects. The sign is not pointing anywhere. The Goat is one of the most aimless signs; it lives on its own. Maybe that’s why his ideal is the Tiger, a sign from the world of absolute calm.

Tiger - Bull. Again, no structural intersections, therefore, again a sign without internal defects. The above is significantly strengthened by the fact that the Tiger does not have structurally confirmed connections on both sides.

Bull - Dog. The aspiration along the communication coordinate demonstrates the Ox’s weakness in the ability to communicate.

Dog - Rooster. The Dog sign is directed along the line of psychology, which means that the main problems of the sign are at the physiological level.

Rooster - Cat. The Rooster is directed towards the Cat along the line of communication, which means that the Rooster has problems in communication.

Cat - Dragon. The Cat's desire for the Dragon follows the line of psychology, and therefore physiology.

Dragon - Boar. The Dragon, just like the Goat and the Tiger, is devoid of obvious shortcomings, so its aspiration to the Pig does not follow any obvious line. It is no coincidence that it is the Dragon who gives the impression of a person not of this world.

Boar - Horse. A rare case on our scale, aspiration goes along the line of temperament. Therefore, Pig has energy problems, that is, he simply lacks the thirst for life, lacks the ability to find a purpose in life.

Horse - Rat. For the Horse, the main axis of symbolic aspirations is on the trajectory of communication. Therefore, the Horse initially does not know how to communicate, is complex, and tense. However, it is the Horse that can achieve perfection in this matter.

A complete structural summation shows that the Rooster is an open sign in spatial orientation, down-to-earth in psychology, a cosmic optimist in temperament, and a pioneer in destiny. As for the type of thinking, for men it is logical, and for women it is strong-willed. These are the structural characteristics of the Rooster. Do they help each other, or does this jumble and jostling of qualities bother the Roosters? What qualities are born when these characteristics are summed up?

The Rooster's military genius is primarily logic, but also earthiness, which adds speed of thinking and knowledge of the material part. Pioneering adds a desire for new methods of warfare and new weapons. Openness may even interfere with the Rooster’s military aspirations, for the army needs strict order, especially in times of peace. This is probably why the Rooster commander, so powerful during wars, quickly loses authority in peaceful life. But the temperament of a cosmic optimist, perhaps, has no effect on a military career.

What makes the Rooster an outstanding composer is primarily his openness. Cosmic optimism colors the music with a certain pathos. Other characteristics (down to earth, logic, pioneering) do not have a significant impact on the composer's talent.

In cinema, earthiness comes first; it is the key to success. The remaining qualities only color the Rooster’s works in one color or another. Openness adds perspective, helps to guess people's tastes, pioneering pushes for technical experiments, cosmic optimism adds philosophicalness.

Appearance

Most Roosters have a glassy look. Their eyes seem to express nothing. I remember Gaft’s unforgettable epigram (“The artist, of course, is multifaceted, but for some reason you have a glassy look”), dedicated to a close friend born in the year of the Rooster. It is because of this strange lifeless look that many quite sensitive and gentle Roosters seem insensitive to people. If a proudly raised head and somewhat mechanistic movements are added to the glassy gaze, then the effect of an emotionless robot becomes complete. Sometimes the proud rooster’s posture is supplemented by a specific gesture with the hand straightening the hairstyle. Well, a rooster and a rooster... There’s just no tail. However, the lack of a rainbow tail is often compensated for by defiantly colorful clothes. Let us remember the two loudmouths of the Khrushchev Thaw - Andrei Voznesensky and Yevgeny Yevtushenko. How bright they seemed against the gray background of other Soviet citizens.

However, speaking about those born in the years of the Rooster, it is necessary to compare external characteristics not only with roosters, partridges or pheasants, but also with any other birds. It would be more correct to call the sign a Bird, for among the Roosters there are eagles, kites, nightingales, turkeys, crows and even parrots. Roosters are great commanders, wonderful singers, amazing parodists. And in all these qualities one could, if desired, find birdlike features. What is especially striking about Roosters is their inhuman potential. No other sign shows such strange qualities. Some of the Roosters are abnormally heat-resistant, while others are cold-resistant. There are Roosters who do not feel thirsty, and there are those who forget about sleep. And so on. Moreover, all these unique properties, as a rule, are not a consequence of long training, but some kind of congenital incident. How can one not recall the extreme achievements of the bird world.

And of course the famous Rooster parodists. How can one not assume that they are all direct heirs of parrots, starlings, crows, jackdaws or some kind of long-eared mynas, in short, mockingbirds, the only animals that speak in nature.

And rumor also attributes to Roosters the habit of blinking frequently. It is also believed that Roosters are more likely than other signs to have faces with deep-set eyes. However, these data still need careful verification.

The uniqueness of the Rooster (digital jugglers)

The Rooster unconditionally believes in the omnipotence of numbers and the infallibility of the stars. Hence the abundance of great mathematicians, astronomers, but also people who, with the help of stars and numbers, try to explain everything that exists in this world, in particular history.

But first, about the mathematicians. Abu Reyhan Biruni was an encyclopedist, but most of all he succeeded in trigonometry and astronomy. Girolamo Cardano - physician and mathematician. He was a great algebraist, invented imaginary numbers and developed the theory of clock mechanisms. Jean D'Alembert - mechanic, mathematician, philosopher. Three rules of dynamics, differential equations of motion, series and much more. Lazare Nicolas Carnot - mechanic, mathematician and... minister of war. Great geometer and topologist, creator of machine dynamics. Carl Friedrich Gauss - one one of the most outstanding mathematicians in the history of mankind; algebra, number theory, differential geometry, mathematical physics, optics, astronomy - everywhere a breakthrough, almost everywhere the highest limit of genius. Augustin Louis Cauchy. His contribution to modern mathematics cannot be overestimated, 700 works in which the all modern mathematics - theory of functions, theory of series, theory of determinants, integral calculus, complex numbers, theory of residues, theory of elasticity and so on... Alfred North Whitehead - one of the founders of mathematical logic, developed philosophical cosmology. Nikolai Bogolyubov - mathematician and physicist theorist, founder of the scientific school of nonlinear mechanics.

And now about the Roosters' illustrious attempts to become great historians. Velimir Khlebnikov is known to the general public as a poet, futurist, “Budetlyanin”, “chairman of the globe”. Well, that’s okay, but his confidence that “stars are numbers, and destinies are numbers, and deaths are numbers, and morals are numbers” raises serious doubts. For example, he argued “that the years between the beginnings of states are divisible by 413.” Next comes the statement “that 1383 separates the fall of states, the death of freedoms.” Modern rhythmologists are simply relaxing. Further: “The year 951 separates the great campaigns repelled by the enemy.” Simple and tasteful. However, for those who like complications, there is also a formula: “Such events are separated from each other by 365 plus 48 “en” years. For those who do not understand, these are numbers such as 413, 461, 509 and so on years.

There are practically no statistics. The famous prediction of the Russian revolution of 1917 is based on the fact that it was 1383 years earlier, namely in 534, that the kingdom of the Vandals was conquered. Why the conquest of the Vandal kingdom by Byzantium is similar to the internal Russian revolution is not clear. What is especially annoying is that with such a rhythm, the story completely loses its meaning.

Khlebnikov was confident that he had discovered the fundamental law of time. Alas, he was practically not interested in history; he was interested in numbers, endless piles of numbers.

Alexander Chizhevsky is a scientist and inventor, poet, artist and philosopher. During his lifetime he was called Leonardo da Vinci of the twentieth century. His helio-history (the dependence of revolutions, invasions, massacres on solar activity) charmed too many, because it was banal, and banal ideas are always attractive. The evidence base itself (solar activity in the Ancient World and the Middle Ages was not determined in any way) is worth little. But the main thing is different: the historical process as such in Chizhevsky disappears behind a sea of ​​numbers, because the sun is the same for everyone, but the history is different. As a result, the same sunstroke inspires some, extinguishes others, and instead of history, it turns out to be a gambling house. Unlike Khlebnikov, there are no exact numbers, everything is very approximate, the selection of events is very arbitrary. It's even worse with predictions. In his famous book “Physical Factors of the Historical Process” there is only one prediction - the peak of world historical changes was predicted for 1927–1929. At the same time, major changes were expected for the political map of the world. As we can see - zilch. But there is a sea of ​​big words about Truth; here he and Khlebnikov are very similar.

Anatoly Fomenko. In terms of provocativeness and scandalousness, this mathematician and digital juggler surpassed Chizhevsky and Khlebnikov combined. Combining his favorite mathematics and astronomy, he decided to literally destroy history, and at the same time archeology, numismatics, radiocarbon dating, and so on.

The genius of the Rooster

An abyss of talents, but great difficulties in realizing these talents. Therefore, there are fewer writers, scientists and designers than there could be. But everything is fine with the commanders and composers. Power is mainly represented by women; literature gravitates towards science fiction and poetry.

For the one and only Emperor Alexander I in Russian history there are three great women at once - Tsarina Sophia Alekseevna, Empresses Anna Ioannovna and Catherine II. In world politics, against Armand Richelieu are such women rulers as Maria Theresa and Corazon Aquino, who played a very significant role in history.

The sign is much more powerful in the military history of mankind. In Ancient Rome, Marcus Aurelius, in closer times - Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov, Alexey Ermolov and Peter Bagration. In the 20th century, military genius does not decrease, but, on the contrary, grows - Mikhail Frunze, Ivan Konev, Ivan Bagramyan, Leonid Govorov, Vasily Sokolovsky, Kirill Meretskov. Other nations have it a little worse - Douglas Haig, Ernst von Busch, Maximilian von Spee, Albert Kesselring, George Paton.

A brilliant list of composers, for literally all occasions. In world music from Georg Telemann and Richard Wagner to Giuseppe Verdi, Johann Strauss and Vincenzo Bellini. We have such names as Alexander Dargomyzhsky and Sergei Rachmaninov. In a more modern and lighter version, Oscar Feltsman, Maxim Dunaevsky, Alexey Rybnikov.

Science is represented by Francis Bacon, Ivan Pavlov, Niels Bohr and Andrei Sakharov.

There is not much in the literature. Fabulist Jean La Fontaine, compiler of the Russian language dictionary Vladimir Dal, poets Valery Bryusov and Velimir Khlebnikov, Andrei Voznesensky and Yevgeny Yevtushenko, science fiction writers Boris Strugatsky and Stanislav Lem, Americans Fenimore Cooper and William Faulkner, brilliant Ilya Ilf and Valentin Kataev.

Cock Commandments

1. Years of birth - 1909, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005. Birth interval from January 13 to December 31 (350 days). To be sure, it’s worth double-checking for those who are a day or two away from the borders. The main criteria are vector relationships with the Cat and the Dog. As confirmation, it would be good to establish the image of the Rooster-Capricorn as a King. The third most important method is the passage of karmic and anti-karmic years.

2. Anyone who confidently considers themselves to be a Rooster sign needs to come to terms with the idea of ​​their avian origin. The range for choice is the widest; you can choose a nightingale, a parrot, a canary, a turkey, a penguin, an eagle, a woodpecker, in short, any bird. And we are, of course, not talking about beak size or wingspan. It's about a certain lifestyle. The nightingale is the singer of love, the parrot is the mockingbird, the canary is everyone's favorite, the turkey is a respectable and pompous fool, the penguin is a persistent and brave fisherman, the eagle is the proud ruler of the skies, the woodpecker is just a woodpecker. And so on...

3. It is also necessary to recognize your sign as the key to universal possibilities. The rooster can withstand everything - hunger, thirst, cold, heat, insomnia. And also incredible intellectual or physical overload. It would be foolish not to use such a gift. Therefore, it is worth experimenting with yourself. It is unlikely that every individual Rooster has all these abilities at once. But there is definitely something there, you just need to find it.

4. But all Roosters definitely have craft skills. And here you can’t waste time, you need to pick up a plane, a trowel, a file, a soldering iron, and so on down the list. Start planing, soldering, sewing, sculpting something - in a word, tinkering. It does not matter whether this business will be the main profession or remains only a hobby. In any case, it is very useful.

5. It is also necessary to regularly bring your physiology into an active state; to put it simply, do not be lazy and actively engage in physical labor. This requirement of physiology is in some contradiction with the energy of the Rooster. Nevertheless, you should try to be active and not overuse sedentary work. “You have to live in motion, miller, in motion.”

6. Openness requires the Rooster to have a wide range of interests. Do not go too deeply into the details of the subjects being studied. But the number of items should be maximum. In fact, you need to be interested in everything in the world, but not try to give any topic an advantage. This situation makes it impossible to become a narrow specialist, but it gives a panoramic view of the world and creates universalism.

7. When, nevertheless, due to the demands of life, narrow specialization occurs (after all, one cannot embrace the immensity), one should not build walls and fences in one’s narrow topic. On the contrary, you need to make your business space open, look for connections with neighboring regions, and expand contacts as much as possible. In short, an open sign should create open space everywhere.

8. This approach to business requires very broad sociability, as well as ideological goodwill, tolerance, one might say, tolerance. It is impossible to be a rigid dogmatist and at the same time destroy walls and fences. Just in case, internal openness should be supported by external attributes - cordiality, an open smile, simplicity and unpretentiousness of manners, breadth of nature.

9. The openness of the Rooster, its active physiological base is in obvious contradiction with the temperament of cosmic optimism, which presupposes detachment from the world, a philosophically passive attitude towards life’s ups and downs. Each person must resolve this contradiction for himself. Should I turn away from active social life, go into the world of religion, poetry and meditation, or maintain myself as an omnipresent optimist? In any case, no matter what choice is made, we must remember as “our father” that when energy exhaustion occurs, when a depressive state sets in, it is necessary, at least for a while, to renounce the bustle of the world and go into the world of dreams.

10. Only by separating from the world of human passions, hiding behind thick monastery walls, having learned not to notice people, is the Rooster able to connect to the inner cosmos and receive energy from it, to find that mental balance that will allow him to live calmly and for a long time. Unfortunately, an energetically saturated person is a tasty morsel for vampires roaming everywhere. Therefore, energy accumulations disappear very quickly. So you shouldn’t run far from the energy source found inside the monastery walls. You also shouldn’t be so simple-minded and give away your energy to everyone. Energy extravagance and poor nutrition make the Rooster (man) a very weak figure in our predatory life. Things abandoned halfway, or even death at an early age - all this is a consequence of the weakness of the energy base of the sign.

11. In order to somehow patch up such an obvious hole (the gap between active physiology and passive energy), there is a vector correction of the sign, which shifts the Rooster towards the three skeptical signs (Cat, Dog, Monkey). Thus, along with the cosmic source of energy (dreams, prayers, meditation, poetry, philosophy), the Rooster is allowed to “snack” from the energy of mental wisdom and knowledge. However, you shouldn’t get too carried away with intellectual searches; this only saves you energetically for a while.

12. The sign of fate unconditionally requires the Rooster to look forward and focus on the future. You shouldn’t sit in one place for too long, or tinker with one thing for too long. This pioneering approach to life is in perfect harmony with the logical thinking of the Rooster, with its scattered nature that comes from the desire to endlessly expand life horizons. Thus, there are no contradictions here, and we need to pioneer in full. As for the unfinished work and unfinished work that is inevitable in such cases, then for this you always need to keep special people nearby, those who like to bring everything to the end. It is best if it is a Snake and a Bull.

13. Despite their outward simplicity and some one-dimensionality, Rooster women are potential owners of incredible willpower. If this power is developed, then any degree of power over people can be achieved. The development of will comes through careful and painstaking planning and their 100% implementation. Decisions must be made after painful doubts, but decisions must be implemented with indomitable persistence. Only a long series of completed tasks creates a winning instinct in a woman. By gradually enlarging the size of your tasks, you can reach the heights of power and influence on people.

14. When developing willpower, a woman should not strive to master special techniques of volitional influence (a strong voice, a hypnotic gaze). The only task is to take more and more people into the sphere of your control, manage them, take care of them. The more such people there are, the stronger the will, the greater the power. There are no restrictions, up to the director, governor, minister or even the president of any country.

15. Having dedicated her life to her career, a woman can allow herself to relax. Love will be such a relaxation. Moreover, it is advisable to fall in love yourself, without waiting for anyone and without luring anyone. The main thing is not to confuse the sequence and order of tasks. Career first, business first. Only in them is luck, only in them is success. Love almost always brings disappointment and torment, although it helps to establish internal balance, to find balance between good and evil, light and darkness.

16. A man needs to look for himself in the military sphere or spheres built on the same principles as the art of war. Among such principles are a rigid hierarchy, formal information processing, and the primacy of categories such as space and time. No matter how strange it may seem, similar areas include information, architecture, partly mathematics, and much more. And yet, in any of these areas, the Rooster must continue to feel like a military man, even if he has never worn shoulder straps.

17. The romantic sphere for the Rooster is contemplation and looking to the past. Of particular importance is the romanticization of the past, the discovery there of something that never existed. The Rooster should remember that in relation to the past he loses objectivity, the same objectivity that he finds when building the future, be it the future of architecture or the future of the army. So we look only to the future, and the past is the sphere of entertainment.

18. The main defect of the sign is in communication, and the main reserve of the sign is in physiology. This means that you shouldn’t worry about preserving your health, but you need to constantly improve in communication; the Rooster is too simple, too trusting and at the same time not charming and sociable enough.

In order to create a structural portrait of a Dog, it is enough to mentally add up such qualities as psychological earthiness, social orthodoxy, energetic skepticism and fatal fate. Next, will is added for men, and logic for women, and the portrait is ready. However, all five characteristics rarely work at the same time. Usually qualities are combined in pairs or triplets.

The great religious figures who became the ideological leaders of humanity gained their strength through the synthesis of skeptical energy and orthodoxy. Will and the fatal sign of fate helped them advance their teachings. Down to earth doesn't matter much.

But it is down-to-earthness that brings leadership in cinema to the Dog. Fatalism and skeptical temperament color their works. But orthodoxy and will have the least influence on cinema.

Poetic talent brings orthodoxy to the first place. Fatalism and will help. But down-to-earthness and skepticism, perhaps, interfere with the Dog’s poetic talent.

The Dog's positions of power are strong only in the Western world, where orthodoxy is added to its will. Other qualities rather hinder the implementation of adequate policies. Particularly dangerous is fatalism, which does not make it possible to construct a policy commensurate with the situation. And such a quality as down-to-earthness has nothing to do with politics at all.

Appearance

Quite often, a dog’s stoop gives it away. It seems that this sign is being pressed with all its weight either by history or by the universe as a whole. Particularly paradoxical is the combination of the Dog’s stoop and depression with its own aggressive behavior.

The aggressiveness of Dogs is of a special, specific kind, one would like to say, of an innate or instinctive nature. It is difficult for a dog to resist demonstrating to the people around him his fearlessness, his desire to tame insolent people, to put strangers in their place, to scold someone for slowness, and someone for stupidity or complacency. Moreover, the Dog sometimes swoops down on completely strangers who, as they say, are in no mood for sleep. Let's face it, the Dog is not an overly friendly sign.

Thus, we gradually come to an analogy with barking dogs, which bark at elephants, postmen and cyclists with equal success. Many representatives of the sign, especially men, are gloomy and completely corrosive and aggressive like a dog. Women hide their zoological identity more carefully. Not so slouched, not so gloomy, although they also have a “dog character”. But the main thing is different: Dog people, just like animals, carry within themselves a charge of the harsh beauty of a proud and independent beast. The dog does not expect universal adoration; it craves active service. Loyalty is the highest virtue of any Dog.

Continuing the zoological analogies, we should remember the large number of dog breeds and the widest behavioral diversity. Some breeds (greyhound, mastiff) are almost a horse, others are more like cats or rats. The variety of breeds is so great that classic dog breeds are becoming fewer and fewer. And finally, if dogs are not at all interesting, then you can compare them with a wolf, lion or cheetah.

The uniqueness of the Dog (paradoxical avant-garde)

The glory and strength of the Dog is in its intellectual primogeniture. Where the Dog is, there is a breakthrough into a new space. The simplest example is Yuri Gagarin, a man who trod a path into a space that was scary to even dream about.

There are countless new states in which the Dog was the first president or prime minister. Thus, President Chaim Weizmann stood at the head of the new and much-awaited State of Israel. Prime Minister Ben-Gurion began to govern this state. Both are Dogs. Another interesting remake state, an outpost of civilization in southern Africa, is South Africa (SA). Here the first was Louis Botha, also a Dog. Tomas Masaryk. The founding of Czechoslovakia is connected with him. He formed a state, was the first president of the country, and remained in power for 17 years (until the age of 85). And in general he was an extraordinary person - a sociologist, philosopher. Why, Czechoslovakia, such a monster of state-building as the USA, was actually created by Benjamin Franklin. His age, 83, prevented him from becoming the first president. But the contribution of the great philosopher, scientist and economist to the creation of this completely new, but very powerful country is difficult to overestimate.

As for Russia, the Dogs have never had any luck here. Paul I barely waited for his power and was almost immediately killed. Pugachev rebelled, was caught and executed. Sergei Trubetskoy was supposed to become the dictator of Russia, but he never showed up at Senate Square on December 14, and the uprising itself failed. This is all due to the imperial rhythm, in which the Dog is very much inferior to the Horse and Tiger.

But the Olympic movement arose in the West, and its father was Pierre de Coubertin.

However, today the avant-garde is understood not as political pioneering, but, for example, as so-called haute couture. The list is quite impressive: Gianni Versace, Pierre Cardin, Giorgio Armani, Paco Rabanne, Mary Quant. Only those who understand high fashion can understand the fantastic power of this list. But wearing “dog” clothes is not always possible - it’s too avant-garde. A musicologist understands avant-garde primarily as the music of such composers as Schoenberg, Schnittke... Sometimes they remember Gershwin or Debussy. Well, this approach is quite relevant. In the works of these composers, the intellect clearly stands above the emotional sphere.

It is not easy to trace the concept of avant-garde in literature. It would be easiest to refer to poets like Alexei Kruchenykh, who wrote “dyr bur shchil, usbeschur, skum, r l ez,” or Jack Kerouac - a real avant-garde. Modern avant-garde - poet Gennady Aigi. And yet in literature it is more correct to talk not about the avant-garde (after all, this is not a podium), but about heightened intellectualism, the incredible paradox of the truths discovered by the Dog, about the amazing, incredible concentration of ideas per square centimeter of the page.

Even in light genres, Dogs manage to tax their brains. Mikhail Zhvanetsky speaks so quickly and so concentratedly that you can literally hear the creaking of the listeners’ brains, and the laughter constantly does not keep up with the master’s paradoxes. The most masterly thing on television in his time was Alexander Nevzorov, who set himself a limit of 600 seconds for presenting all the news of the day and masterfully fit into this interval.

The paintings of Rene Magritte, one of the fathers of surrealism, are rich in intellectual paradoxes. Gustav Klimt is also here. But who, without a doubt, is the central canine figure in the visual field is Maurits Escher. His paradoxical drawings, optical transformations, symmetrical symphonies are the true portrait of the Dog, its magnificent, unlimited intellect. As an addition, Mobius came up with a strip named after him.

Genius of the Dog

Possessing, undoubtedly, the most developed intellect, the Dog can achieve success in any task that requires not so much artistic flair as intelligence. The most promising affairs of the Dog are in literature and cinema. In music and painting, intelligence is less in demand, although it is easy to discover that the Dog introduces intellectual tension into these artistic and emotional spheres. In politics and military affairs, successes are not too great; here the Dog, although he does not know failures, is somewhat inferior to the leaders.

Dog writers try to solve human problems with the help of intelligence. Jean Baptiste Moliere and Voltaire, Robert Stevenson and Lope de Vega, William O. Henry and Kurt Vonnegut, Mikhail Lermontov and Alexander Griboyedov, Nikolai Karamzin and Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, Gilbert Chesterton and Erich Maria Remarque, Alexandre Dumas the Father and Victor Hugo, Taras Shevchenko and Nikolay Berdyaev, Nikolay Gumilev and Vladislav Khodasevich, Maurice Maeterlinck and Federico Garcia Lorca, Alexander Tvardovsky and Leonid Filatov, Wilhelm Hauff and Carlo Collodi. Without fear of making mistakes, the works of these writers can be called the golden intellectual fund of humanity.

The intellect of theater and film directors works no less intensely. Starting with Bertolt Brecht and Vsevolod Meyerhold, Auguste Lumiere and Sergei Eisenstein and continuing with such masters as Otar Iosiliani and Pier Paolo Pasolini, Akiro Kurosawa and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Yuri Mamin and Vladimir Bortko, Sydney Pollack and Oliver Stone, Ilya Averbakh and Kira Muratova , Claude Zidi and David Lynch, Mikhail Kozakov and Francesco Rosi.

The greatest thinkers are Confucius, David Gilbert and Gottfried Leibniz.

The names of Benjamin Franklin, Pyotr Stolypin, Pavel Nakhimov, Winston Churchill and Yuri Gagarin are immortal in history.

In the visual arts, Mikhail Nesterov and Nicholas Roerich, Maurits Escher and Gustav Klimt, Rene Magritte and Diego Rivera. In music, Ludwig Minkus and Georges Bizet, Claude Debussy, George Gershwin and Alfred Schnittke.

Dog commandments

1. Years of the Dog - 1910, 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006. Birth interval: from the first days of January to January 13 of the next year, where the Pig sign is already manifested in newborns. If there are still doubts about belonging to the Dog sign, then the first step is to check the vector contacts with the Rooster and the Bull. It is very important to see if there are any turning points in life during the years of the Rooster. It should not be difficult to distinguish the overactive Capricorn Dog (Vector) from the alternative Capricorn Rooster (King) or Capricorn Pig (Knight).

2. Anyone who is confident in their belonging to the Dog sign is given the widest choice of behavior models. You can be a calm St. Bernard or a talkative collie, a pampered handsome poodle or an ugly fighting bull terrier. If you don’t want to compare yourself with a dog, then you can choose a wild animal (wolf, jackal, lion, cheetah).

3. With any zoological analogy, the main thing remains - the dog is always in the service of man (the wolf in the service of the pack). Moreover, one must serve actively (the wolf is fed by the legs), aggressively and, in some way, frantically. But trying to imitate those dogs who, like a cat, spend the whole day lying on the sofa, is not worth it. Need to work.

4. Work for Dogs is the main thing. It is constant activity and non-stop work that is the path to ideal well-being for Dogs. Physiologically, the body is built precisely for this model of existence. Moreover, craft activities should have a significant share in the work. Considering the intelligence of the sign, it is worth choosing the most complex and intricate types of craft. Becoming a jeweler, watchmaker, cabinetmaker would be extremely useful and exciting.

5. Reluctance to actively work, lack of powerful craft skills very quickly deprive Dogs of psychological stability. Attempts to think abstractly, without relying on the objective world, are unproductive for the Dog. Any creativity must be in close contact with matter, with craft. Therefore, you should avoid professions that separate you from the objective world. It is better to be an archaeologist than a philologist, it is better to be a tailor than a writer, it is better to be a builder than an office worker.

6. Orthodoxy requires the Dog to create some kind of internal code, a set of rules of life and thinking. What is possible, what is not, what is good, what is bad... This can be a very long list of rules that you must always remember and always follow. In a certain sense, it is these rules that are the masters and leaders of the Dog’s thinking. The most common option is religious settings. But in its place there may be some kind of code of a scientist, a code of a democrat, and so on. It is very good if the rules concern only ways to find solutions, and do not contain ready-made answers. Then there is room for thought.

7. It is also very important that this code be of an obvious social nature, regulating attitudes towards family, marriage, friends, colleagues, and so on. Social issues are the most important for Dogs, because this is a sign of selfless devotion. You just need to decide what and to whom. It is best if the Dog has an object of service on all fronts at once. We must faithfully serve our homeland, our team, our friends, our wife, and our children. And so on... Betrayal committed by the orthodox himself or in relation to him is the most terrible thing that can happen, because it upsets the balance on which the entire worldview of the orthodox is built.

8. Orthodoxy also helps to outline the range of professional aspirations. It is necessary to look for areas of activity that exist autonomously, separately from others, such islands of stability. Something like a monastery with its own charter. What fits this definition? More like a secondary school than an institute, more like a closed defense institute than an international center, and so on in the same vein.

9. The Dog's temperament requires active mental activity and stimulates such qualities of intelligence as irony, doubt, and skepticism. At first glance, these qualities come into violent conflict with the orthodoxy of the sign. In fact, even the most rigid orthodox will always have something to puzzle over. Moreover, the rigidity of the original dogma requires special resourcefulness of the mind. In the shifting swamps of permissiveness, you can grab onto any idea. But to find an explanation for everything in the world and not break dogma - here you need to have very big brains.

10. Another contradiction of the skeptical temperament is related to the fact that this energetic basis requires a certain distance from people, fenced off from human passions. In fact, here too the contradiction can be resolved. The dog needs to include a certain, fixed number of people in its circle and establish very clear and strictly regulated relationships with them. Then there will be no need to constantly sort things out, or somehow actively and dramatically interact with people. Those who have not entered into a narrow circle of communication should be indifferent and not emotionally affect the orthodox; it is as if they do not exist.

11. As for energy deficiency, from which no person is protected, you need to escape from depression in the library. Smart conversations, intellectual debates, or just banal reading of smart books can cure any representative of the sign from depression. Although we must honestly say that no matter how cheerful a melancholic person is, he will still remain melancholic. But you must admit, a melancholic intellectual who pours out his melancholy in caustic monologues a la Zhvanetsky is much more pleasant than an elementary bore and whiner who stupidly spills his dissatisfaction with life everywhere.

12. As for the fatalism of the Dog, in this sense the sign is a standard one; fatalism is visible in the Dog much more clearly than in the Tiger and Rat. In this sense, instructions are unnecessary. The dog must feel its destiny and, with orthodox tenacity, resolutely fulfill this destiny, without bending to anyone. And why does fatalism seem so sad to many? It's so much fun to go through life knowing for sure that nothing accidental will happen. Hence the courage and even despair of the Dog.

13. For women of the Year of the Dog, the main thing is the activation and full development of their own intelligence. Only by taking this road will Dog women find happiness and harmony. Neither orthodoxy nor fatalism is an obstacle to intellectual improvement. Any activity that develops the intellect is suitable: science, art, writing, or anything that can ignite the fire of creativity. Having expanded the intellect to its maximum size, one must learn to trade it, that is, sell the results of intellectual activity.

14. The only prohibition for intellectual activity is introspection. The intellect, with strong development and lack of external application, will begin to turn inward, literally burning a woman with gigantic complexes, tormenting her with endless and meaningless calculations. The result: psychological disorders and destruction of the nervous system. Salvation is to once and for all ban yourself from thinking about yourself. Taboo! And then calm will come.

15. As for the love sphere of the woman of the year of the Dog, it is necessary to reduce instinctive activity, be a little more modest in plans and actions, trying to give the initiative to the man, allowing him to kindle the fire of love, while remaining quite cold and neutral. If the fire of love flares up in your soul, then you need to find the remnants of a sense of humor in yourself and use it to extinguish the fire that brings a lot of troubles.

16. The Dog Man is the owner of the will, which should inevitably push him to the top steps in any hierarchy. By remaining subservient to someone, a man dooms himself to discomfort. You have to be the first, or at least not fall under any command. If formal subordination is inevitable, one must strive for maximum internal independence, service to the law, subordination to official duties, but not to the boss.

17. In the love sphere, for all his severity, the Dog man is quite romantic. Experience gives little, progress in the sphere of love is almost impossible. Hence the conclusion: you shouldn’t strain yourself, you need to be able to extract career and creative benefits from love disappointments, turning love defeats into spiritual victories.

18. The main defect of the Dog lies on the physiological line, which proves the weakness of the body. Therefore, the regime, therefore, care for health and reliable reinforcement through energy sources. But the Dog’s reserve is its charm. Who would have thought, but this gloomy sign has an almost limitless reserve of sympathy. This coin can be used to pay left and right.

If anyone wants to create a structural portrait of the Pig, then it is necessary to add up rough psychology, social closeness, the energy of natural optimism and the pioneer sign of fate. Next, realism increases in men, and in women, an empirical (mystical) type of thinking.

Like any other sign, not all of the structural characteristics of the Pig easily coexist with each other. Boar's unprincipled realism and his pioneering, which constantly requires new ideas, new undertakings, are most actively at war with each other. The closeness of the sign, which requires privacy, and the cheerful, sociable disposition that comes from the powerful temperament of natural optimism are not always in harmony.

Nevertheless, it is the combination of various structural components that explains the main successes of the Pig. Thus, the triumph of the Pig as the main traveler is the sum of almost all his qualities. The main driving force is the Pig's pioneering, pushing him to new impressions, new adventures. Natural optimism adds to the desire to be in nature; rough physiology makes it easy to endure the difficulties of hiking. And even closeness does not interfere with the Pig-traveler, inclining him to climb into the most remote places.

It is more difficult to explain through structural components such a quality of the Pig as the ability to predict the future. Well, let’s say that closeness helps one get into the subtle world. Let's say that realism, which allows one to understand the past well, allows one to mystically discern the future. But why are there no predictors among the Cats and Goats? It remains to be assumed that the Pig is an ideal antenna for receiving signals from the future precisely because it does not have a special symbolic program.

Appearance

A selfless traveler and reveler, an eternal wanderer, free as the wind, a defender of democracy and a fierce individualist, the Pig is characterized precisely by its free spirit. How to notice this freedom? Sometimes this manifests itself in recklessness, the ability to instantly change all your plans, but more often we can talk about some kind of inner relaxedness, which manifests itself in calmness, elegance and beauty, and not that forced beauty that is forced out of oneself in salons and stores, but that , which comes from inner harmony.

I can’t help but remember Piglet from Winnie the Pooh, who was always completely free until next Friday. So is Boar, he is the only one in our world who always, at any age and in any condition, remains a tumbleweed man, always free for new things, new topics, and especially new places. The ideal traveler through the intellectual and physical worlds was Vladimir Nabokov. He left Russia, left Europe, found no place for himself in America, and ultimately settled on the shores of Lake Geneva in a hotel room. Living in a hotel is a symbol of the Pig. With the same ease, Nabokov left the Russian language for English, just as easily he switched from studying people to searching for butterflies and vice versa.

In this regard, how can we not remember that in nature the wild boar is a great migrant, who leaves his native places with incredible ease, moving many hundreds of kilometers without any apparent reason or any seasonal necessity. It seems that the boar does not pursue any goals, it is just walking.

Is it advisable to compare a person with a given non-ruminant artiodactyl? We, of course, do not mean genetics or anatomy, but some kind of psychological and behavioral relationship. The similarities are found everywhere, and not just in the wanderlust. Unpretentiousness in everyday life, the ability to live in the most modest and even harsh conditions. This applies to both human boars and animal boars. The boar is stern and is not afraid of anyone. Although initially boars are not aggressive, they feed on roots, but they will not run from anyone and are ready to repel the most severe predator if it decides to attack.

Most famous Boars are not aggressive, they are modest and quiet people, but no one will be able to intimidate them or send them running. This is perhaps the most “intimidating” sign of all.

A person born in the year of the Pig is an intellectual of the highest standard. And here it also corresponds to its zoological counterpart, because the popular idea about the narrow-mindedness and primitiveness of wild boars is incorrect: zoopsychologists classify them as smart people.

And one more interesting feature related to the Pig’s state of mind. There is a place in it not only for light, but also for darkness. Sometimes this darkness breaks through quite harmlessly, like a cute little devil, sarcastic, but cheerful and harmless. However, sometimes the little devil gets stronger and a real devil grows out of him. No other sign resembles the devil as much as the Pig. If you look at another Pig - well, he’s just some kind of devil. Even a film was made (“Repentance”), where Lavrenty Beria (Boar) turns into a devil.

The uniqueness of the Boar

Either a prophet, or a holy fool, or a devil, or pretending to be one. In any case, all the more or less famous predictors turned out to be Boars.

Michelle Nostradamus. This is by far the most famous predictor in world history. The list of his predictions that came true could take up a lot of space. Thus, he predicted the death of the French king Henry II from a wound in the eye, which later happened. And of course, Hitler predicted him, the birth and death of Soviet power. But disputes about the reliability of his forecasts have not subsided to this day. There is something frivolous, a game, a joke in the very style of boar predictions. It seems that all predictions are a complex intellectual construction, an ingenious puzzle.

John Dee, personal astrologer of Elizabeth I Tudor, predicted using a magic crystal. He saw someone there. But he himself could not communicate with this creature - only through an intermediary. However, the intermediary did not take the information directly - he saw a field divided into squares in which letters, numbers, and symbols were placed. But this is not enough - the letters were dictated in reverse order, and not in a specific language, but in some artificial dialect. Do you feel the Pig style? Everything is done on the verge of intellectual mockery - one can see behind it all another Nabokovian hero, an arrogant mocker, a lover of butterflies and fishing, a lonely traveler who has never walked in formation.

Another famous predictor is Wolf Messing. He had a unique memory, and most importantly, he knew how to see the future. Back in 1937, he predicted Germany's defeat in the war in the East. Having moved to the USSR, he predicted the inevitable war with Germany and indicated the victorious date in May 1945. Having met with Stalin several times, he answered all his questions. And Stalin was seriously interested in the future.

Giuseppe Balsamo, aka Count Cagliostro - the same incredible erudition, the same magic mirrors and crystals, all, however, with a flavor of fraud... And also Jacques Cazotte, a French aristocrat and writer. Only one story glorified Kazot as a predictor. At a dinner party in February 1788 (a year before the revolution), he predicted death from poison in prison for one noble nobleman, and open veins and a severed head for another. He promised the ardent atheist that he would survive the revolutionary meat grinder, but would become a zealous Catholic. It was this last one (Laharpe) who brought this story to us.

In Russia there were also Boars-predictors, for example the prophetic Abel (Tsybin). He was a “simple man, without any teaching,” he traveled a lot, listened a lot to the elders, holy fools, “touched by the demon.” Abel prophesied the death of Catherine II a year before this fateful moment, for which he almost paid with his freedom. Then he predicted the death of Paul I, which is why he was imprisoned. Under Alexander I, the prophet predicted that Moscow would be taken by the French in 1812 and burned.

And also Lev Fedotov. 17 days before Germany attacked the USSR, he described in great detail in his diary when and how the war would begin, at what pace the German troops would advance and where they would be stopped. He knew that there would be a blockade of Leningrad, he knew that Moscow would not be surrounded until the winter frosts, and he also announced when the Red Army would launch a counteroffensive. He predicted the 1944 conspiracy of fascist generals, the subsequent Cold War, and even the 1969 flight of the American Apollo II spacecraft.

And of course, Baba Vanga, with whom many of our contemporaries were familiar. The number of her reliable predictions is very large, although she did not like to make general forecasts, preferring to work with specific people.

The list could also include the enemy of the human race Aleister Crowley, the wonderful science fiction writer Vladimir Odoevsky, and, of course, Carl Jung, who made several very accurate predictions. Writers Yuri Olesha and Andrei Platonov told strange fortune-telling stories; many consider Fyodor Tyutchev to be a predictor.

One way or another, it is obvious that Nostradamus is not a random phenomenon; he heads a powerful group of Pig predictors. One thing remains unclear - the mechanism of predictions.

The genius of the Pig

Being the brightest intellectual, the Pig, with the brilliance inherent in this sign, could manifest himself in any intellectually intensive field of human activity. What hinders the Pig is his scattered nature, weak motivation, and sometimes simply the lack of innate interest, innate iconic ideas.

The activity of painting most closely corresponds to the contemplation of the Pig. How not to remember Diego Velazquez, Anthony Van Dyck or more modern ones - Alfred Sisley, Paul Signac, Paul Cezanne or Marc Chagall.

The profession of director also brings good luck to Pig. The most famous name is Konstantin Stanislavsky. His system has won all over the world. Among the famous film directors Alfre

Marriage horoscope

(Marriage purpose)

12 years have passed since the publication of the famous “Marriage Encyclopedia”, in which the marriage horoscope was first outlined. The fate of that book is not simple, on the one hand there are dozens of reprints, the total circulation is more than 2 million. On the other hand, there are a lot of nameless copies, pirated editions, without mentioning the author, without references to the structural horoscope system, continuous replication on the Internet. Without speaking about the illegality of such dissemination of knowledge, it is worth saying that sometimes random and unjustified changes are made to a classical text.

It seems that the time has come for a new edition of the marriage horoscope. The text is 100% updated. There is nothing left from the old version. It's not a matter of errors; they weren't in the old text. The material supply system has been changed, the latest discoveries have been added. Along with the presentation of marriage theory, the theory and practice of marriage purpose is presented. Now these topics are equivalent.

And further. There is a great temptation to expand the text of the marriage horoscope by increasing the number of examples, by presenting more and more detailed and detailed ones. The author fights this temptation, trying to present everything as briefly as possible, although there is an incredible amount of material confirming the effectiveness of the marriage theory. And if desired, it was possible to publish a real encyclopedia.

Preface (paradoxes of marriage)

The theory of marriage is incredibly simple. If it were not for the 24 vector pairs that work as exceptions, then the marriage theory could simply be considered primitive. However, the simplicity of the theory is not a consequence of the simplicity of its discoverer, it is a consequence of the simplicity of the world itself. The world is much simpler than our ideas about it, which are too abstruse and scientific. Overly complex theories are usually very far from the truth.

However, simplicity has a downside, simplicity is always full of paradoxes, it is like a price for elementaryness, insufficient complexity gives rise to paradox. Alas, most erroneous theories are incredibly complex, but terribly banal, everything in them is linear and consistent. This is how the human brain works; it is easier for us to build a cumbersome but loose structure than to find a multidimensional and multifaceted, but simplest in its symmetry, truth.

Let's start with the elementary paradoxes that lie on the surface. Romantic marriage. It is all made of roses, airy fabrics, poems and songs, lamentations. The main paradox of this marriage is that it is unthinkable without the rustle of banknotes. Romance, sincerity, naivety, purity, everything is covered with holy feelings, sometimes platonic, always festive - it would seem that there is no place for such dirt as money. However, the well-known idea that it’s heaven with a sweetheart and in a hut turned out to be a malicious lie. It is holy feelings that need constant financial support. A romantic marriage is a holiday, and holidays are expensive - flowers, champagne, a snow-white yacht, a luxury car, this is what strengthens pure and bright feelings, but all this costs a lot of money.

Equal marriage is also full of paradoxes. Describing the cruel world of politicians and businessmen, we attribute shark-like habits to our rulers, finding in them qualities of the greatest harshness and even cruelty. We all remember the famous phrase “Bolivar cannot stand two.” However, the marriage theory, describing business and politics through equal marriage, proves that in this union a man very quickly loses his masculine qualities and becomes very feminine, and therefore a good politician (like a good businessman) is far from the ideals of a man. He is weak, cowardly, indecisive, and if he is cruel, it is more likely from cowardice than from an excess of courage.

Another paradox is associated with the refutation of the well-known misconception that the most sexual are rude, common people, and the flimsy intelligentsia is not suitable for serious sex. Everything is exactly the opposite - sexuality is directly related to intelligence, and certainly not to corpulence.

Patriarchal marriage. This is where there is a stern, bearded husband and a downtrodden, muzzled, powerless wife, cast-iron shackles of dogma, rules, terrible slavery of household duties. So goes the banal idea. In fact, only in a patriarchal marriage is a person truly free, including a woman. Milk the cow and do whatever you want. Only in a patriarchal marriage the spouse does not loom as an eternal ghost in the mind, does not stand with a rolling pin in the subconscious, does not interfere in dreams, and leaves thoughts pure.

Spiritual marriage. Of course, banal ideas about this union are also erroneous. He is by no means as refined and intelligent as he may seem. In a certain sense, a spiritual marriage is a union of two lawless people who have no morals, no rules, no conscience, no inhibitions. In a spiritual marriage, everything is possible, there is no dirty trick that this union cannot endure, because its essence is completely rubber - everything is forgiven, you can always go to a new circle. The soul will endure everything, and the very structure of the soul is far from our too pure ideas about it.

Quite a number of paradoxes are generated by the intersection of two newest creations of the Structural Horoscope - the theory of marital destiny and the theory of combining horoscopes. Both theories, each in its own way, combine the annual (eastern) and monthly (zodiac) signs. As a result, correspondences are born that would never have occurred to those who create science based on what is commonly called “common sense.” Let's say the sign of the King. He can be anything, he can come to an agreement with any person, he is kind, forgiving, patient, and cheerful. It would seem like a godsend for marriage. But come on, it is the King (as well as the Queen) who are practically unsuitable for marriage and sooner or later the idea is established that he (she) does not need marriage at all.

Paradoxical? Undoubtedly. And many people get caught in this paradox. However, if you carefully study the issue, there is no mistake. Marriage is designed to compensate a person for the lack of some qualities. But the King (or Queen) has nothing to compensate, he (she) has everything. The question arises: why do such people need marriage? Marriage is much more necessary for people who are dogmatic, one-sided, and purely outwardly unsuitable for marriage because of their uncompromising nature.

Sign of the Rationalist. These are not just smart people, these are real thinkers who can reason sensibly and powerfully. According to all of them, their place is in an equal marriage, which requires smart conversations, strain of the intellect, a creaking brain and a tongue without bones. In reality, Rationalists are completely destined for the most boring and silent patriarchal marriage. It’s incomprehensible, paradoxical, perhaps a mistake has crept in here... Not at all. The fact is that a Rationalist should only be talkative in society, at work, and at home he needs to rest, gain strength, and put himself in a fighting state. Paradoxical? Undoubtedly. But who and when proved to us that a person is united in the home and at work? Nobody ever.

Another coincidence of the horoscope and purpose of the so-called Knights, in the female version of the Slave of Love. Both of them are created for a romantic marriage and are literally obsessed with the theme of love. It would seem that here we will definitely do without paradoxes. However, the paradox is completely obvious and very deep. Professors of love, they should love and love, so to speak, bring their great knowledge to the masses. What does a romantic marriage require from us? And he requires abstinence, asceticism, so to speak, long separations from the opposite sex. Continuous feats of chivalry on the part of men and equally endless feats of female devotion and expectation. Upon careful study, we will again be convinced that the scheme, although not trivial, is reasonable. If you were born a professor of love, strive for perfection, that is, an ideal, and where there is an ideal, there is always a place for feat, and ... a romantic marriage.

The people's favorites are the handsome Emotionals. They must have prepared the most delicious food? In fact, they are given the broadest freedom - three marriages - equal, spiritual, romantic. The only prohibition is the patriarchal union.

Jesters, ridiculous and bright, funny and angry, all of them are prepared for two marriages, Which ones? Probably the simplest ones - patriarchal and romantic, after all, they are easy people. But no. These lightweight signs are destined to find harmony in the most complex marriages - equal and spiritual.

The situation is absolutely the same with eccentric Leaders who try to copy the Jesters in everything.

Finally, the most paradoxical situation with Vectors. Villains, adventurers, fatal beauties (and beauties). According to banal logic, they are the least suitable for marriage. In fact, they are extremely good at marriage, they easily adapt to any conditions, to any stereotype, in fact, they are marriage generalists, even making a normal marriage out of vector madness.

Now about more fundamental paradoxes. One of the main paradoxes remains the coordinate of the marriage structure. In fact, the 12 horoscope signs are divided into groups in five different ways. This division is called structures. Only one thing has to do with marriage, with marriage theory. Which? “Of course it’s psychological,” psychologists would say, because behavior in marriage is a consequence of psychological stereotypes. Of course, the social structure, because the family is the unit of society, and the problem of marriage is a public matter, as sociologists, political scientists and other social scientists would say. No, it’s all about temperament, and therefore the main thing for marriage will be the energy structure! It is sexologists, psychoanalysts and other specialists from the group of intelligent wimps who are joining the dispute. Finally, there will always be many supporters of the idea that marriages are made in heaven, and therefore, the main thing is the structure of fate. The so-called would have received the least number of votes. ideological structure, because the connection between ideology and marriage is the least obvious. However, it was precisely this structure that turned out to be the only one where male and female signs differ, and it was on this difference that the very possibility of female signs to interact with male signs was built. This paradox is one of the primary ones.

And, finally, a paradox, without understanding which the marriage theory remains an empty phrase. We are talking about the paradox of the disappearance of reacting signs. In fact, this paradox is total. However, for the first time and most fully, the paradox was studied precisely in the marriage theory. Its meaning is very simple, but unbearably paradoxical. Two signs (husband and wife) begin to interact in marriage, giving rise to a certain resulting substance - which in theory we call marriage. There are four types of such substances: the pink substance of romantic marriage, the gray patriarchal substance, the golden substance of equal marriage and the silver spiritual substance. As soon as the substance is born, the annual signs of the spouses themselves seem to disappear. There are no more Tigers and Horses, no more Boars and Rats, Monkeys and Snakes disappear, there is no longer any need to take into account the sign when describing a marriage. People are left alone with the marriage monsters they have born. Therefore, to understand marriage, you need to forget about your sign and remember only the type of marriage. And this is paradoxically extreme and requires a very high abstraction of thinking, or... reckless trust in the author.

The dissolution of the sign has one absolutely fantastic consequence. When men and women interact, any external assessments, even the most correct ones, disappear. Anyone, the most antipathetic and disgusting man, can become charming and attractive within a marriage. Those around him will only shrug their shoulders, because they see his sign, but for her this sign is no longer there. In the same way, the most charming and alluring woman for someone may turn out to be uninteresting, lean, boring. The owner of such a woman will be the envy of thousands of people, and the owner himself will yawn and languish from boredom.

Despite the unnatural popularity, or more precisely, the promotion of personal characteristics depending on their zodiac signs, the basic, fundamental qualities of a person are determined by the annual (eastern) sign. This especially applies to people who are active, creative, and ready to reveal themselves to the fullest. If we remember about people who are passive, timid and lethargic, always waiting for instructions and care from society, then the annual sign is of course not important for them. And I don’t suggest reading my book to such people; TV is enough for them.

The annual sign is responsible for the five main qualities of a person. The greatest importance is a person’s ability to think, and to think in such a way that he develops a certain life ideology. Such an ideology forms a strategy, ensures the perception of the world in one way or another, in fact, gives birth to a type of thinking. Ideology is the only area in which the male and female signs differ. Therefore, in the book, ideology is revealed separately for women and men.

The next most profound influence should be recognized as a sign of fate. And how come we didn’t understand before that if fate exists, then there must be different ways of its interaction with a person. Now this is completely in order, and again everything depends on the year sign.

In third place you can put a person’s temperament. And as before, it is the annual sign that determines the type of temperament. In this case, we are talking not so much about the external picture, but about deep processes. If the temperament is found correctly, then the type of fuel that needs to be refueled is chosen correctly, and then - goodbye to depression!

In fourth place we have methods of communication. At the same time, there is also the orientation of a person in space. Actually, a person’s communication is his perception of life as a certain space. I remember that Carl Jung said something about this, who divided people into introverts and extroverts... True, Jung did not know the year signs, this was his mistake.

Fifth place went to human psychology. Psychology rightfully shares this place with physiology, from which it is impossible to tear it away, they are so firmly fused.

Summary list

The five projections of man mentioned above provide a total of 19 elementary qualities, which it makes sense to list, so that, as they say, the entire list of the capabilities of man as a creature is announced.

Human psychology

Psychology has the smallest share in creating a complete portrait of a person. A fairly large number of people do not activate their psychology at all, preferring to highlight and develop completely different qualities in themselves. Sometimes a person’s psychological qualities go to the level of pure physiology, without affecting his mental activity. But even if psychology manifests itself quite strongly, it is, as a rule, masked, and it is masked according to the principle of complementarity. That is, masculine signs try to look gentle and demonstratively show sentimentality. Gentle signs tend to look quite stern and courageous. Dreamers want to appear active and skilled, while an active person wants to appear to those around him as abstract and not of this world. So, even having unraveled human psychology, it should be considered an intimate and carefully hidden matter. Perhaps it is precisely because of the intimacy of psychological qualities that the so-called classical science has not discovered analogues of these qualities.

Human psychology provides answers to two main questions. The first question: how to behave at the everyday level, that is, to express yourself in the simplest and most natural conditions for a person? Thus, in terms of psychology, a person is not so far removed from the status of an animal. Second question and second answer: what are the physiological characteristics of a person?

Earth signs(Monkey, Rooster, Dog). They need to discover in themselves a craving for action and a love for the objective world, for the purpose of earthly signs is to breathe soul into dead matter. How to do this for those who have everything falling out of their hands or have no desire to work? It’s worth mastering some craft, thank God, the range is huge - from carpentry or painting to jewelry, watchmaking or film making.

Down-to-earth signs do not always look businesslike and collected; sometimes they even want to portray laziness and daydreaming. This, as they say, is the other side of the coin.

Rough marks(Boar, Rat, Ox). You must be hardened, persistent, thick-skinned and have a strong immune system. You shouldn’t feel too sorry for others, and you certainly shouldn’t feel sorry for yourself. This version of psychology seems to have been created in advance for difficult situations, for all types of discomfort, be it camp life, a communal apartment or a barracks.

The main program of the signs is easy to read - to excite people, wake them up from mental sleep, tear them away from excessive effeminacy, restore their tone. For a person, from a too comfortable life and too tender food, becomes weak and loses vitality.

Internal rigidity is masked by manifestations of ostentatious sentimentality, the desire and ability to cry intensely, to feel sorry for some cat or bird. For a rough soul such gestures are always comforting.

Takeoff signs(Tiger, Cat, Dragon). Dreaminess, thoughtfulness, an inaudible, soft gait, a kind of weightlessness, plus a certain disgust and cleanliness, in a word, all in contrast to earthly signs.

The super task is the materialization of sensory ideas. Something like lying on the sofa and controlling the movement of matter. At a primitive level, this could be a begged cup of coffee in bed; at the level of real magic, it could be hypnotic orders or controlling the public mood. But the main thing is that, ultimately, matter fulfills what the spirit desires.

The ballet phenomenon of take-off signs requires careful and detailed consideration. Rudolf Nureyev, Vaslav Nijinsky (Tigers), Ekaterina Maksimova (Cat) and Vladimir Vasiliev (Dragon), Anastasia Volochkova (Dragon) and Nikolai Tsiskaridze (Tiger). The list could go on for a very long time. The take-off signs in poetry have had phenomenal success. We have Alexander Blok, Afanasy Fet, Marina Tsvetaeva, Joseph Brodsky (all Dragons), Vasily Zhukovsky, Osip Mandelstam (both Cats), Boris Pasternak (Tiger).

Disguising their sophistication, armchair dreamers try to show themselves as mobile, agile, active and handy. At the same time, the weakest achievements in crafts are advertised and praised much more actively than great achievements in their main psychological “specialty.”

Tender signs(Snake, Horse, Goat). This requires developing sensitivity in yourself in every sense. Distinguish the subtlest shades of taste, smell, color. In the same way, you need to feel the subtlest emotions, your own and others. You must always sympathize with yourself, but also be able to empathize with everyone else, trying in any situation to feel someone else’s pain as your own.

Of course, with such a psychology, the highest demands are placed on comfort, and the food must be especially delicate. It is very important to live in an environment of general goodwill. Hence the minimum contacts with callous people.

The subtlety of nature can be useful in many areas, but there is one where sensitivity is almost irreplaceable - this is humanistic literature. Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Gustave Flaubert (all Snakes), Miguel Cervantes, Alexander Pushkin, Honoré de Balzac, Jonathan Swift, Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust (all Goats), Ivan Bunin, Isaac Babel, Jerome Sellenger , Alexander Kuprin, James Joyce (all – Horses). This list can go on and on. In fact, the other nine signs do not have a chance to understand a person’s soul, they cannot regret as much as gentle signs do.

A structural horoscope is an attempt to combine two different directions in astrology - Western and Eastern.

As you know, in Western astrology, our date of birth corresponds to 12 zodiac signs. In Eastern astrology, each year of the 12-year cycle corresponds to a specific animal, which is the patron saint of that particular year.

In simple terms, astrological analysis according to the Western system is aimed at studying a person’s personality type, his character and temperament.

Eastern teaching allows us to understand the strengths and weaknesses of a person, his deepest aspirations and methods of implementation in society. Since these directions, in fact, are sections of the same science, astrologers have developed a new type - a combination of the eastern and zodiac horoscope, which includes both Western and Eastern interpretations, and, therefore, allows you to calculate the astrological portrait of a person in more detail. We are talking about a structural or combined horoscope, which uses a division into seven personal portraits corresponding to the year, month and date of birth.

A structural horoscope provides unique information about a person’s character and talents when compared with traditional popular horoscopes. A combination of years and zodiac signs identifies 7 main types with unique features.

3 – Knight

4 – Aristocrat

5 – Professor

6 – Jester

7 – Vector

Below we will look in detail at what each of the signs of a structural or combined horoscope means:

1. King

According to the structural horoscope, Kings are given wisdom, courage, determination and insight from birth. People with the royal mark strive exclusively for the best and do not spare themselves on the path to success. Kings have enormous intellectual, emotional and physical potential. Quite often they achieve significant material or career success. At the same time, the Kings, like a magnet, attract people who are eager to bathe in the rays of their wisdom and attractiveness. It may seem that everything comes extremely easily to the Kings, but in reality, behind every small success there is a huge amount of work and dedication. To make the most of the positive characteristics of the horoscope, representatives of the King sign should get rid of vanity and the desire to command others. Real kings should not pay attention to base feelings, because their destiny is to rule, healing with their wisdom and prudence.

2. Leader

This sign embodies energy and strength. Leaders are born leaders, ideological inspirers and leaders. Most representatives of this sign know what others need, know how to interest people and direct their efforts in the right direction. To live in harmony with their own “I”, Leaders need to self-actualize, proving their own importance and strength. Ideally, people of this astrological sign should occupy leadership positions, using their natural potential. If for some reason this seems impossible, take the position of a mentor and wise teacher who helps people find their way to a brighter future. However, do not abuse your own power. Remember, if you do everything right, people will follow you.

3. Knight

The trump card of this sign is manifested in kindness, selflessness and mercy. Knights not only sympathize with the sorrows of people, but accept their troubles as their own, and strive to protect the weak, feed the hungry and shelter the lost. Regardless of profession, temperament and life preferences, Knights crave great achievements and dream of showing their heroic nature. In truth, their lives are already filled with small and large feats, because almost every day they have to save their many friends and admirers. But the Knight's fate is such that his noble deeds often go unnoticed. If, by the will of the stars, you were born in knightly armor, do not expect applause and recognition, because your destiny is pure kindness and mercy. Moreover, for such a difficult mission, fate will definitely reward you with a loving family and loyal friends.

4. Aristocrat

The aristocrat is called to bring beauty to our mortal world. People of this sign love beautiful things, stylish clothes and luxury items. Their life should be easy and comfortable, because nature awarded Aristocrats with good aesthetic taste at the expense of willpower and determination. According to the structural horoscope, representatives of the Aristocrat sign are distinguished by moral purity, sociability and outstanding talents. However, aristocratic natures sometimes refuse to develop their abilities due to natural laziness and the desire for quick results. In order not to end up stuck, Aristocrats should develop determination and consistency. It is also extremely important for these people to have mentors who, at the right time, will be able to point out their mistakes and guide them on the right path.

5. Professor

People born under the auspices of the Professor sign embody intelligence, consistency and wisdom. The strengths of this structural portrait are evident in his intelligence and ability to be guided by cold calculation. The Professor will never act rashly, like a Knight, and will never feel sorry for himself, like an Aristocrat, because he knows that success depends solely on himself. This sign partly displays the characteristics of a Leader and a King, but, unlike them, the Professor does not crave fame and love from society, since his self-sufficiency does not require any external entourage. To show their best traits, people with the astrological type Professor should not panic or fuss, because wisdom loves calm.

6. Jester

Each kingdom has its own jester. It seems that this cheerful character entertains people all day long, living his life in endless dances and jokes. But in reality, the deepest mission of the jester is manifested in the discovery of human vices, which through the prism of a joke seem even more sinister and meaningless. An astrological Jester is an extravagant, self-sufficient and unconventional person. He does not tolerate conventions and oppression. This person will not humbly carry his cross, but will do everything possible to achieve justice. The jester charges those around him with positivity, although he himself can be mopey and depressed. To feel like a happy person, the Jester needs an understanding environment that will appreciate him the way the stars made him.

7. Vector

People of the vector astrological type are very bright and unpredictable. Today they work hard, and tomorrow they hitchhike around the world. Representatives of this sign are constantly looking for ways to express their original nature. They are very changeable, they can change one profession after another, get involved in different hobbies, look for themselves in work or in love. It may seem that Vector is the personification of inconstancy and frivolity, but the whole point is that this astrological type has acquired the ability to subtly sense the world and the laws of justice, which is why they are often thrown in different directions.

In addition, Vector is a sign that is extremely developed spiritually. People born under the auspices of Vector can see prophetic dreams, work with their intuition, foresee events and predict the future. In order not to lose their unique features, people of the vector type need to accept their true nature and not try to remake their own worldview to fit the surrounding reality.

PREFACE

Believe it or not, the structural horoscope did not come to us from China, or from Babylon, or even from Europe. He didn’t come to us from anywhere at all, but was born here, in Russia, in Moscow. It was in 1986-1988, when three friends (Yuri Porembsky, Alexander Kutinov and the author of the preface) decided to work together to understand the signs of the eastern horoscope. In those years, we did not think about the problems of authorship or participation rates. If we thought about the consequences of our horoscopic studies, then only about the negative ones, because Gorbachev’s perestroika was only seen in rosy colors from abroad, and we understood perfectly well that the CPSU had not yet surrendered its powers to anyone and was vigilantly monitoring the ideological purity of our life. (The first astrological publications appeared in 1989.)

Set up for long-term underground, samizdat activity, we did not think about publications; we published our almanac in a circulation of four copies. But then the fourth “musketeer” appeared, disrupting the idyllic dissident order in our community. Sergei Petukhov, having joined the group to create a structural horoscope, almost instantly broke the conspiracy, managing at the very beginning of 1987 to publish a tiny note in a chess magazine about chess players born in the year of the Cat. Needless to say, the tiny note outweighed the volumes of the almanac in its significance. Since then, the structural horoscope began a public history, all its achievements, all its discoveries, everything was assigned to one editorial office or another and was published with one delay or another. Thus, it turned out that only the first couple of years of the history of the structural horoscope are hidden in the depths of the almanac, and all other decisive transformations of the new system took place on the pages of the publications. It is only from these publications that one can understand the path that was taken to the “Quest for Empire”.

The same Sergei Petukhov, who later, to my great regret, left the structural horoscope (went abroad), but, as it now turns out, was a catalyst for many processes, one day brought an amazing piece of paper. There were only 5 dates written on this piece of paper: 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953. Each date was supplied with a rather banal comment; there was nothing special in this piece of paper, but it was the fate of the spark from which the flame of the historical horoscope arose.

Did I myself know about this series of dates? Undoubtedly. Literally everyone knew about her. I remember very well how my peer told me about this progression on the eve of 1965 (we were 11 years old). The poet Andrei Voznesensky and many others wrote about this sequence... I could not help but pay attention to these numbers, because I was not studying some kind of zodiac horoscope, but an annual one, that is, a periodicity of 12 years. Paradoxically, I was in no hurry to study this periodicity, firstly, because I was not too interested in history, and secondly, because I absolutely could not imagine what the Snake had to do with it (all these dates are precisely the years of the Snake), and the most important thing is that it was not clear what the horoscope had to do with it at all, because this series left only one word in the song: Snake, Snake, Snake... throwing out the other eleven words.

I took the list of dates compiled by one of my classmates (Petukhov) to another classmate (Pantina), with whom I had planned a serious conversation about the philosophical interpretation of the concept of “will.” And then the spark, which had been extinguished many times before, suddenly gave birth to a fire. It turned out that Vladimir Pantin and his friend (another of our classmates) Vladimir Lapkin had long ago promoted this topic and discovered great meaning in it. Actually, they didn’t need me, they didn’t believe in the horoscope too much, and they weren’t in a hurry to publish. However, I still interested them in some way, or maybe it was just basic scientific decency that came into play: the Vladimirs decided to reveal a great secret to me.

What I heard, without any exaggeration, shocked me - it turns out that the matter is not at all in the 12-year rhythm, the listed turning points are not equivalent, it is easy to see that 1917 and 1953 are much more important than 1905, 1929 or 1941 in the matter of power in the country. The main thing was the existence of the original date - 1881, exactly 36 years removed from 1917.

We were brought up for so long in the belief that our history began precisely in 1917 (at best, as a kind of training for a future revolution, we were allowed to remember the suppressed revolution of 1905), that not many people thought of seeing the original (primary) revolution in the seemingly ordinary (for history) the change of one emperor to another (all that happened was that instead of Alexander II became Alexander III - one wand was added). The discovery made by Pantin and Lapkin was so fascinating that I think I believed in it right away. Indeed, why would the country suddenly explode so violently in 1917? To explode, you need to accumulate energy. How many years does it take to save energy? A year, two, three?.. Or maybe 36, as long as the periods of one type of government last?

So, the first (hidden) phase lasts 36 years (1881-1917), then comes the Lenin-Stalin revolutionary phase, which also lasts 36 years (1917-1953), finally follows the third phase (1953-1989). And all of our conversations took place in 1988, a year before the supposed grandiose coup. And all this abstract and numerical talk would be worthless if we all didn’t feel in our livers and spleens how close the country has come to the end of communist power. Who in such a situation would not be captured by the excitement of the researcher, who would resist the temptation to crawl into the prophets? In short, the triple alliance was concluded. Endless coordination of texts and endless running around the editorial offices began. The excitement was so great that for some time I even stopped offering horoscopic texts to editors, concentrating entirely on the tripartite project.

The bastions fell on November 9, 1989. It was on this red day of the calendar that the “Soviet Circus” (what a name!) published an article by Vladimir Pantin, Vladimir Lapkin and Grigory Kvasha entitled “The Sundial of History”. The formal reason (at that time reasons were still needed) was the need to respond to a certain professor Z. Filler, who planned to connect the course of history with solar activity (hence the title of the article). In all other respects, the article was completely independent. In the most remarkable way, she proved that the cycle of accelerated industrialization of Russia began precisely in 1881, not earlier, but not later. The article did not explain what happened to Russia before 1881; it was assumed that before that Russia lived in a normal, unforced mode. This approach seemed normal to us, why not have several modes of being. However, it later became clear that for most rhythmological theories, it is the sudden inclusion of a new rhythm that is the most terrible sedition. Most rhythmologists, as well as geleohistorians, like pagans, prefer to deal with through rhythms.
