Let's figure it out, at least general outline, what should we expect from this beast.

This year has long been considered special. The Slavs languished in anxious anticipation and had many hopes for this year.

It was believed that the energy of the Hedgehog could heal many mental wounds and help every person find inner harmony.

Also, this year is always fertile, although it is not particularly generous with global changes. 2018, the Year of the Curled Hedgehog, will also have a tangible impact on the energy of each of us this time.

By Chinese calendar- This is the Yellow Dog. About why we, descendants of Russians, suddenly became adherents of Eastern China lunar calendar, which had absolutely nothing to do with us - the explanations are simple. They didn’t keep their calendar-yearbook and joyfully and hastily picked up what the media easily imposed on us!

But according to the Slavic calendar, the coming 2018 will be the year of the Curled Hedgehog.

The Slavic calendar is a gift from our ancestors. When Christianity had not yet come to Russian soil, the Slavs believed that each year corresponded to a patron animal. Since the time of Peter I, we have met New Year in January, immediately jumping from September 7208 to January 1, 1700, introducing a new calendar according to the Julian calendar. 5508 years, remember this figure, was reset from the age of our people. So to speak, look younger!!!

Let us conventionally assume that the year of the Curled Hedgehog will come on the night of December 31 to January 1, along with the Chinese Yellow Dog. And there is also the most ancient Zoroastrian calendar, in which, by the way, the Hedgehog will also be in charge, eastern calendars- Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai and so on. Each of them has its own symbols. But I’m only talking about our Slavic, agree that it’s closer to us.

What does 2018 or 7526 according to the Slavic chronology bring us?

Hedgehog. Immediately, the first associations: thorns! But anyone who has met a hedgehog up close knows how your hand immediately reaches out to stroke this exotic “fur”! You understand that it will sting, but the animal is so cute and cute.

Yes, the prickly one will be able to defend itself, the peace-loving creature will not attack in vain, but it will not allow itself to be insulted, in any dangerous situation will curl up into a ball and “the grass won’t grow.” Although, if necessary, “the bear from the den will survive” and will emerge victorious from the unequal battle.

The hedgehog patronizes everything new and fresh, but he will not thoughtlessly throw away what has been gained before him, the animal is thrifty to the point of stinginess.

Let's add to his qualities: noisy, restless - a night hunter, restless and fussy, clings to little things, to details.

People born in the year of the Curled Hedgehog are unpredictable, have a prickly character, a sharp disposition, and are a little fussy and noisy. But there are also many advantages: they have excellent memory, in a good way pedantic, economical, sometimes scrupulous and concentrated, as a rule, intelligent.

“Hedgehogs” are reliable friends, faithful spouses, good housewives and caring fathers. If one of their loved ones is in danger, they will readily sacrifice themselves for their safety.

And in friendship, hedgehogs are loyal, they will not betray, they will not let you down, in love they are reckless, like “into the deep end,” without calculating or thinking about rationality, if their heart is on fire. Love for them is the goal of life, they are devoted until their last breath...

What will the Year of the Curled Hedgehog be like for us? Like anyone and everyone, it will be different, different for everyone.

Health and well-being in the Year of the Curled Hedgehog

This year will be energetically calmer than the outgoing one. It is important to maintain composure in case of any problems that arise and not allow them to affect your health. Caution will help you maintain balance and easily solve all problems in love, business and finance.

The time for creativity and increasing spiritual potential is coming. You should spend more time with your family, find joy in communication and give each other not material gifts, but feelings and emotions.

It is equally important to remember to be honest with others and yourself. The time is coming for the spiritual rebirth of man. It’s time to transform the “man-nature” relationship into a format of peaceful coexistence and prosperity. Not only to take care of abandoned domestic animals, but also to give up hunting, limit fishing, revive meadows and forests, and clean them of dirt and waste. Each of us must become better this year!

Love and relationships

This year is a wonderful time for the family, all doubts will be dispelled, and in anticipation of the symbol of the year, we will open our doors to let the owner of the year into the house. This especially applies to newlyweds and parents with small children. If there were any problems in the past year, let them go away forever.

In love, the Hedgehog will help you survive difficult breakups, if they are inevitable, or merge with a new person, your “soul mate.”

For those who are still searching - wait for your finest hour and act more decisively when you notice “your” person on the horizon. If luck smiles on you, you can rest assured that the choice will be made correctly.

Trust is the ally of any relationship. And diplomacy will often help you in solving difficulties that arise. But remember, kindness does not open all doors. If you suddenly feel a threat to your love and happiness from the outside, do not stop at anything. Defend boldly and decisively, like hedgehogs! A little insolence will not go amiss, especially at the beginning of the year.

Finance and career in 2018

The Curled Hedgehog will not only force everyone to work hard, but will also not allow them to waste their earned money thoughtlessly. You can buy something necessary for your home, start making repairs, everything that is aimed at transformation and improvement. Hedgehog does not welcome spenders and useless purchases. But what is vitally necessary is a green road. But austerity must be healthy so that it does not bring negativity into your emotional life.

Do not take on debt; treat loans with great caution, unless for serious acquisitions. This year will be good for savings and investments; by the middle of the year you will feel the impact on this front of activity.
