Old Slavic horoscope

In the Slavic calendar, the first month was called birch sol and was believed to be patronized by Yarilo (he was sometimes called Yar), the god of the spring sun, passion and love. This name means "young, very strong, passionate." This is how our ancestors imagined this deity: the barefoot rider Yarilo on a white horse and in white clothes was young, ardent, in love and reckless. However, in other sources this deity had a different appearance: in them, Yarilo was presented as a woman dressed in a white man's shirt and trousers. In her left hand she held ears of rye, in her right - a stuffed human head. On the head of the deity there was a wreath of flowers, which appeared in the fields first. During the spring holidays, our ancestors dressed up and decorated a young girl in the same way and, having seated her on a horse, led her out into the field. This image personified an open and kind character.

Another embodiment of Yarilo is the warm spring rays, which, having overcome the winter darkness and cold, awakened all living things, filled them with freshness, strength, movement. With the onset of winter, Yarilo, turning into Frost, mercilessly destroys everything that he gave life to in the spring.

People born on these spring days are similar to their patron: they have the same powerful, indomitable energy, look at the surrounding reality with wide-open eyes and remain young regardless of age. Yarilo's children are guided more by feelings than by reason; They cannot stand boredom and do everything possible to avoid sadness and depression. Contradictions are also unbearable for them.

Representatives of this sign love everything new, in many areas they are pioneers and pathfinders who are not afraid to take risks. They are determined to fight against difficulties and win. These people sincerely believe in goodness, and this faith helps them avoid dangers and misfortunes. Yarilo's children give the impression of being rather simple, unremarkable people, but in fact, behind the outer shell lies an indomitable temperament and a huge, furious force capable of crushing all obstacles in its path. They are simply terrible when angry. After all, Yarilo's time is the time when the first spring thunderstorms begin to sound, before which even demons tremble. However, these people have a big heart, and they love the world with an open soul, so they will not get angry, "rage" in vain. Yarilos have the strongest love for the world and life that they are capable of.

Representatives of this sign can safely be called warrior-heroes, hard-working plowmen, excellent owners who have enough strength for any job. They are not afraid of any work. Sometimes they are stubborn, flare up like matches, and then it is better not to argue with them.

By nature, they are pronounced leaders, so they can become successful politicians who can lead and manage a large number of people. If a Yarilo person chooses the field of military service, then he himself will become disciplined. Because of their desire for leadership, collective work is not suitable for them. Yarilo's children voluntarily take on all the work, not trying to share responsibility with anyone and not hoping for help. They are giants on whose shoulders the whole world rests.

Representatives of this sign feel comfortable only when they have enough of everything - from food supplies in the refrigerator to love. They prefer to drink the cup of life to the bottom. These temperamental people must always be in love, they need a constant state of emotional uplift, inspiration. If all this is present in the life of a Yarilo person, then he will be quite satisfied with life, and his family union will be strong. But if he is deprived of such pleasure, then it will simply not be possible to keep him.

Since Yarilo is the deity not only of the spring sun, but also of love and passion, he endows his wards with love, the ability to flare up with passionate feelings at first sight. These are quite romantic, but extremely fickle people. Representatives of the stronger sex, born at this time, like to gain power over a woman, make her their mistress, and then leave her. Yarilo women are capable of remaining faithful to their partners only until the moment when their relationship acquires some hint of certainty. If people of this sign ardently swear eternal friendship or love, do not delude yourself: very soon the connection may be broken by them.

The month, which in the Slavic calendar was called tsvetn, was under the protection of the goddess Lada - the creator, the female embodiment of the god Rod, the goddess of life and love. Thanks to her warm, gentle palms, love, harmony and order reign on the earth.

In her honor, our ancestors established the holiday of Ladodenia, which glorified the arrival of spring on earth, gentle warmth, the awakening of nature. During it, it was customary to call upon spring. This was done by representatives of the fair sex, climbing high places - roofs of houses, hills, haystacks, etc. and raising their hands to the sky. On Ladodenia, cranes-amulets were made from dough; there was a custom of dancing, imitating the dances of birds, at this time usually returning to their native lands. All this helped people express their joy at the awakening of the power of Life.

Where people born under the patronage of Lada appear, a warm and homely atmosphere seems to be created by itself. They are distinguished by their health, good, very "well-proportioned" build, patience, and peacefulness. Lada's children are not lazy and unhurried, stubborn and slightly inert. They win over others, do not accept betrayal and infidelity, love veneration, and do not tolerate the lack of harmony in relationships.

Thanks to the patronage of Lada, people born during this period are true gourmets, aesthetes, and subtle connoisseurs of beauty. Their gentle natures are distinguished by their fine organization, vulnerability, compassion, readiness to help at the right time, and sentimentality. The Lada person lives in harmony with nature, has a developed imagination, intuition, and a wild fantasy. At the same time, these people are quite practical, are on good terms with money, and money reciprocates their feelings.

Those born on April 21 are protected by another character from the host of Slavic deities - Lelya, the goddess of love. The ancients considered her the patroness of beauty and happiness and believed that she never left lovers without her help. The holiday in her honor - Lelnik (also called Krasnaya Gorka) - is celebrated on April 21. People born on this day are also under Lelya's protection. Loneliness is never a threat to them. Just as this goddess makes herself known for the first time a year at the end of April, so Lelya's children can always, without fear of sidelong glances and gossip, boldly declare themselves to the world.

In the month that the ancient Slavs called Traven, Letnitsa was worshiped. She also had other names - Perunitsa, Gromovitsa, since Lelya was considered the wife of Perun himself. The holiday in her honor - Lelnik, called Krasnaya Gorka, was celebrated on April 21. This was due to the fact that the "debut" of this goddess in the annual cycle occurred earlier than in May, when Lelya became the sovereign mistress.

Representatives of this sign have a kind soul, a warm heart, a well-developed sense of humor, high intelligence. Their psyche is flexible and fast, their reaction is swift, and they themselves are somewhat reminiscent of blinding lightning. These are incredibly lively, dexterous, fickle and unpredictable natures, next to whom you will not be bored and relax. In addition, people born at this time are characterized by courage and willingness to help people.

Lelya's children refute the common assertion that those born in May will have to suffer all their lives. The patroness of love does not leave her charges to vegetate alone.

Kostroma reigns for only 10 days at the beginning of summer and symbolizes spring and fertility. There was a ritual of seeing off spring, or seeing off Kostroma. This deity was personified by a young woman dressed in white clothes, who walked surrounded by a round dance, holding an oak branch in her hands. There was another tradition associated with Kostroma: her straw effigy was burned or drowned. The ancient Slavs also saw off and buried spring in this way and believed that such an action helps make the land fertile forever.

Later, this ten-day period became the so-called Semitskaya week between Ascension and Trinity. The time dedicated to the goddess Kostroma was called proletie. This wonderful natural time fully justified its name, as it passed, flew by very quickly, leaving behind wonderful memories.

People born at this time are distinguished by their enormous talent, in particular in the field of creating literary works. This is explained by their ability to sense cosmic vibrations and convey the words that Mother Nature herself whispers to them. A feature of their lives is a large number of tragic accidents that simply haunt the children of Kostroma. However, this does not prevent many of them from living to old age.

Kostroma has two incarnations - female and male (Kostrubonka). In people born under its patronage, this is manifested by a certain duality of character, as well as fragmentation of thinking. They are characterized by the desire to live "here and now", curiosity about everything happening around, interest in unraveling everything incomprehensible. These are pleasant, smiling people with the gift of eloquence and surrounded by a large number of friends. They usually start their own family late, but can boast of numerous descendants. The children of Kostroma go through their life with a smile on their lips, leaving behind a rich spiritual heritage in their memory. It is simply impossible to forget these bright personalities.

According to the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, Dodola reigned with the onset of early, as they say, young, summer. She is the goddess, patroness of not only natural summer, but also human - i.e. youth. She is especially favorable to young girls and their activities. The only thing that bothered the peasants at this time was haymaking, so on these beautiful summer days they were given the opportunity to rest from the many agricultural chores.

If a person was destined to be born during this period, then he will forever remain young at heart. Slightly infantile, naive and even lazy Dodola people come into this world to rest and contemplate what is happening around them. They think that everything in this world happens as if by itself, without the need to make an effort. The wards of Dodola are inclined to contemplation, and therefore need sensible guidance. Also, these people should be taught discipline from a young age.

These creatures, who are not adapted to life, are helped to survive in the harsh world by a sincere belief in miracles and spiritual purity. In the minds of Dodola children, life is a game, fun, a fairy tale, and certainly with a happy ending. They completely entrust themselves to Fate, and it rewards them for their trust. Representatives of this sign are incredibly lucky, and everything they need appears in their lives as if by itself. In order for the world to be at their feet, they do not even have to pretend to be know-it-alls and sages.

Their luck extends to those around them: for their loved ones and friends, they turn into a real lucky talisman. Dodola people have the most powerful energy, communicated by the summer solstice, and excellent health. It is no coincidence that the time when this goddess reigns is simply ideal for the birth of healthy babies.

As for love and family, relationships in the lives of Dodol people can develop differently, since their point of view on love and fidelity can differ greatly from the generally accepted one.

Veles is considered one of the most important gods of the ancient Slavs. It is he who is credited with setting in motion the world created by Rod and Svarog and determining its laws. Thanks to this, seasons, days and nights began to replace each other. Veles is the teacher of the Law, he is the original, eternally living sage, who ensures that the laws and agreements existing in the world are strictly observed. In addition, Veles was considered a deity helping people in their practical life. His servants were the Magi.

Veles was also considered a werewolf god, the ruler of everything magical and secret. In fairy tales, he was represented as an old man holding a ball of thread in his hands. Sacrifices to this deity were made in dense pine forests, in places where three roads intersected, because Veles was considered the ruler of crossroads. They brought him copper coins, furs and wool, glorified him with kvass and beer: it was believed that it was thanks to Veles's science that people learned to make these drinks.

People born during this period receive an interest and inclination towards the occult from their patron. They are distinguished by a very affectionate character, a passionate love for children, a gentle and reverent attitude towards the home. At the same time, these are bohemians who have a tendency to be too passionate about alcohol.

For people born during this time, there is a danger of seeking (and finding) refuge from reality with all its problems in the depths of their subconscious.

In love relationships, children of Veles are characterized by dreaminess, romanticism and at the same time sensuality, passion. They are able to achieve the love of the person they are interested in.

The patron of July is a deity named Kolyada, personifying the law of time. It was responsible for the Sun annually passing the originally predetermined path and bringing summer to people. Carols were celebrated in winter specifically to support the integrity of the circle of life and the power of the deity itself.

Among other things, Kolyada introduced people to celestial science, taught them to understand the language of cosmic bodies. Therefore, his wards are characterized by a subtle understanding of the laws of the universe, nature. Disharmony in any sphere of life is painful for them. The life mission of those born at this time is to act as guardians of traditions, to ensure that the good old order is not wiped off the face of the earth. After all, if someone happens to violate the state of affairs established by the gods - who knows, maybe this will lead to the fact that someday the Sun itself will change its usual trajectory.

The night from July 6 to July 7 (dates are given according to the new style) is a special night. At this time, it is annually revealed what will be on earth - Light or Darkness. Good is traditionally the winner, but Evil does not give up so easily. It is no coincidence that the day of Ivan Kupala was especially singled out by the ancient Slavs from all 365 days of the year. Bonfires that were lit throughout Europe on this night were called "the eyes of Light".

For our ancestors, Kupalo was the god of summer, flowers and fruits growing at this time. In his earthly incarnation, he is beautiful and cheerful, dressed in light clothes. The ancient Slavs believed that Kupala wore a wreath made of globeflowers on his head, and in his hands he held fruits and summer flowers.

This god was held in great respect, and on June 24, when the harvest began, sacrifices and a holiday were held in his honor. People lit huge fires, sang and danced around them, especially the youth. The celebration ended with jumping over the Kupala fires. Domestic cattle were also driven through this cleansing fire: it was believed that this provided protection from forest spirits and wood goblins.

People born on this day carry their special attitude to fire throughout their lives. It is very good if this fire is lit in the family hearth, because it is the family, dynasty, clan that are the most important things in life for a Kupala person. He is drawn to home, to the light with all his soul.

These people are very gentle, affectionate and outwardly seem very simple, but in fact they are philosophers with a rich inner world. Kupala people are loving and sentimental; many of them are interested in mysticism and scary stories. The combination of fire and water gives them powers that are truly magical. At the same time, these people have their feet firmly on the ground: household members are always well fed, the garden and vegetable patch produce good harvests, and the farm is run thoroughly and thriftily. Kupala children are very interested in the question of what mark they will be able to leave on this earth, both from a material and spiritual point of view.

Those born under the sign of Kupala need to focus more on naturalness and simplicity, learn to get by with little. People of this sign become unhappy when they begin to pay too much attention to the material side of their existence and start hoarding. Traveling and wearing linen products will be useful for Kupala people. They are not recommended to overheat.

The ancient Slavs called August serpen or zhnivne. The patron of this month was one of the most revered gods — Vyshen-Dazhdbog. He was depicted as a man with beautiful sunny-golden hair fluttering in the wind, a majestic gait, an open, direct look that does not know what lies and deceit are. People believed that he rode across the sky in a cart pulled by four beautiful horses. They had golden wings, and instead of a mane — a flame.

Dazhdbog in popular beliefs was associated with the Sun, light in general. His name goes back to two words — "share" and "give", which indicates his mission — to assign each living creature its own destiny. It was also believed that Dazhdbog is the patron of weddings. Our ancestors were convinced that all the grooms were met by this deity at dawn on their wedding day.

The summer season, when he reigns, is in keeping with his patron. The earth resembles magnificent royal palaces - thanks to abundant harvests, ripening grain, majestic thunderstorms.

Brilliance, grandeur, fiery passion - these qualities are present in the nature of people born at this time. They are characterized by pride, frankness, loyalty, a combination of intelligence and strength. They are born to be the main ones, the first, to rule others, and in all areas of life; they often have a high social status. They have mastered the art of showing themselves in the best light to perfection, and therefore are often in the center of attention. It is the Dazhdbog people who are capable of being the founders of empires and dynasties.

If their ambitions remain unsatisfied, they can become despots, and representatives of this sign are distinguished by their impatience when waiting for their wishes to come true. They dream of universal recognition and respect, of having the best of everything.

Representatives of this sign do not tolerate it when someone gets in their way. They themselves move towards their goal persistently and are ready to work hard for this. Usually, fate gives them a lot of opportunities, but true happiness awaits only those people who generously share their benefits with others. The rule according to which those who give the most receive the most, Dazhdbog people should learn better than other signs of the Slavic Zodiac. Their mission and happiness is to patronize their neighbors, protect the weak and fight for justice.

However, those born at this time are already distinguished by generosity, readiness to help and take care of. Just as peasants are happy with life-giving rain, so are the friends of the Dazhdbog man happy when he appears in their company. He likes to make decisions for others, and not everyone likes this. However, they will always lend their powerful shoulder to those who do not enter into polemics and confrontation with him, who will give them complete and unconditional trust.

People of this sign often achieve noticeable success in the field of military service and politics, in particular due to the ability to think and make decisions with lightning speed. Perseverance helps them become successful managers and athletes. The atmosphere of celebration, good life, wealth - the luxury of late summer - is their element. Lovers and connoisseurs of beauty, they try to live, love, and court beautifully. Dazhdbog people fully provide for their family, are proud of it, and inspire it to new achievements. Having suffered a fiasco in their personal life, self-sufficient representatives of this sign may well remain alone for the rest of their lives.

Those who were born during this period of time were patronized by the goddess Maya. She was also called Seva and was revered as a symbol of nature, a nurse, a goddess of gardens and their fruits, a patroness of fertile lands, rains, good weather, and sun rays. Western and northern Slavs imagined her as a long-haired, very beautiful woman holding ripe grapes and apples in her hands, symbolizing the end of summer and the beginning of golden autumn. Seva's mature beauty is nature itself at harvest time, and her long hair personifies fields with ripe ears of corn.

This feminine goddess always supported life, participated in the cycle of life forces, every year bestowing generous gifts on all who wished. People born at this time are similar to their patroness. They are constantly fussing about something, and mainly for the benefit of others. Seva's children hardly get tired of endless fuss - moreover, this is the meaning of their life. Even when resting, they take a book or some manual work. On the other hand, they need to fuss and work in a comfortable atmosphere, so those around them should take care of this. In the absence of guardianship, the strength of Seva's children melts away too quickly.

These people are distinguished by a huge reserve of patience and tolerance, indifference to the misfortunes of others, kindness, striving for harmony and a quiet life. Representatives of this sign have extraordinary moral insight, a developed sense of proportion and justice. In addition, they are characterized by friendliness, hospitality, a special, very gentle sense of humor. Inconspicuous, quiet Sevas manage to make enemies friends, heal people's souls, and smooth out conflicts. Their ideal is touching, subtle, sincere relationships.

Seva's children can get by with little and are fans of naturalness and purity in everything. They would prefer their own home to a city apartment. At the same time, they are concerned and worried about the future; they can be extremely distrustful and cautious. Representatives of this sign often turn into misers. Sevas are afraid of all sorts of changes and try to live in accordance with the established order. It would not be superfluous for them to look at the world with a more optimistic outlook.

People of this sign are wonderful spouses, because they are fair and kind, want to live in peace and harmony, and are also unpretentious and economical. As a rule, Sevas have few children; some representatives of this sign remain childless. This is all the more offensive because these thrifty people usually have a full house, and they themselves are very nice and attractive to those around them.

Rozhanitsa reigns for only a few days in early autumn, after which comes the time of Indian summer. According to the beliefs of our ancestors, Rod and Rozhanitsa, who were his companions, gave life to everything on earth. The ancient Slavs attributed many missions to these creatures. Thus, it was the Rozhanitsa from the sky who ruled over the whole world, the underwater forces and the forces of the underground; they helped women give birth. Thanks to them, animals, birds and fish appeared on earth, which people needed. But most importantly, the Rozhanitsa were goddesses, maidens of fate and life, they endowed each person with a share, which reminded them, for example, of the ancient Greek moirae.

They were two sisters - Dolya, who was responsible for happy events in a person's life, and Nedolya - a gloomy creature, by whose grace all sorts of troubles rained down on people. Their symbols were considered to be the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. It is no coincidence that people said that some were born under a lucky star, and some under an unlucky one.

People who were born under the patronage of Rozhanitsa are characterized by a calm, shy, secretive character. They have a developed sense of harmony, as well as a desire to cleanse or simplify everything. Sometimes they are lazy, but at the same time they are often in love with their work to such an extent that they are ready to forget about everything in the world for it. Representatives of this sign are hardworking and diligent, like bees, but they prefer to work alone, outside the team. They always keep their promises. These reserved people also love calmly, considering passionate love a real disease and obsession.

People born between September 12 and 27 are under the protection of a deity named Mokosh.

This goddess, who personified Mother Earth, was revered along with the main Slavic deities. She was the only female deity who was honored with an idol that stood on the Kiev hill next to the idol of Perun, Veles and gods of an equally high hierarchical level.

In a later period, Mokosh began to be associated with women's crafts. Our ancestors imagined her as a long-armed creature with a large head, who spun at night. The custom of removing the tow from the spinning wheel before going to bed was associated with this idea - so that Mokosh would not spin away.

Gradually, in popular beliefs, the image of this deity was united with the image of Friday. A sacrifice was made in her honor: yarn or tow was thrown into a well. The name of the ritual, mokrida, came from this action. And the name Mokoshi itself is considered to be related to the words "to get wet", "wet". This goddess reigned for two weeks, which we call Indian summer. Nights began to last longer than days; people's lives gradually flow into houses in which the windows are already tightly closed. In nature, the time of silence is approaching.

People born during this period tend to feel their involvement in natural processes. Just as the seasons replace each other, in the life of a Mokoshi person the order of events and phenomena is already irrevocably established. Representatives of this sign, being fatalists, are completely sincerely sure of this.

Whatever Mokoshi children have to do, they will do it carefully and responsibly. They are also thorough in their approach to their diet; they know how to cook very tasty food.

Literally every minute counts for a Mokoshi person. They do not squander their time and do not respect people who waste their precious life on trifles. At work, they often become workhorses, ridden by everyone and their dog. And yet, Mokoshi do not forget about rest, scrupulously observing the regime and drawing a clear line between work and home. They calmly accept the fact that the world and society are built on hierarchy, respect any authority, and therefore will never contradict their superiors. At the same time, people born at this time really like to give advice (as well as lecture), which in most cases turns out to be very wise.

The Mokosh man is a jack of all trades, but nature has deprived him of the ability to speak beautifully. A job in the light industry will be very successful for him.

These people love their home very much. The most suitable weather for them is rainy, and the source from which they can draw strength is a well.

Representatives of this sign are characterized by the desire to re-educate their loved one and a rather grumpy disposition, and because of this, not everything always works out well in their family life. At the same time, family is sacred to them, and they will not dare to destroy it of their own free will.

Mokosh is the patroness of fertility and the birth of children. The ancient Slavs believed that at the moment of the birth of a child, it was this goddess who sent him a soul.

Those born at this time can become successful writers, military leaders, journalists, politicians who do not know defeat. They are given the gift of finding a common language with people and feel quite comfortable in a completely unfamiliar company.

People born at this time of year are under the protection of the son of the god Svarog, whom the Slavs revered as one of the main deities. For our ancestors, Svarozhich symbolized earthly fire, was the patron of the elements, warriors, and human occupations (professions). It was believed that his powers were simultaneously beneficial, giving light, warmth, and harmful, since droughts and fires were the fault of this deity. In some tribes, he was considered the god of war and victories. On the day of the autumn equinox, the ancient Slavs celebrated Svarozhich's name day.

The life of people born during this period is usually filled with meaning. They often have to spend the first half of their lives struggling. But in the second part they will reap its fruits: they will be respected, honored, and will become rich. People of Dazhdbog and Mokosh should not try to start and maintain close love relationships with the children of Svarozhich, since this will not benefit either partner.

Since this deity symbolized the heavenly fire that fell from the sky and was “tamed” by man, people born under his patronage are distinguished by a penchant for crafts and art. They are the meaning of life for a Svarozhich person. As a rule, he sees beauty better than others and helps others see it, since people of this sign are distinguished by refined artistic taste.

They bring to others not only beauty, but also light and warmth. They are characterized by an irresistible, but at the same time sad half-smile. In life, Svarozhichs should not succumb to a bad mood and remember that despondency is considered a mortal sin. These are observant, highly intelligent, well-versed in life, rational people who like to put everything in its place. This is largely due to the peculiarities of the time in which they were born: in the fall, supplies are made that should provide a person until the new harvest.

Svarozhich's children are born to become a driving force in culture and science. They can achieve success in a very wide range of fields of activity - from poetry to blacksmithing. It has been noted that representatives of this sign can be outstanding teachers. Svarozhich people risk becoming victims of creative combustion, and therefore must be careful.

They strive for marriage, confident that somewhere around the world their other half is wandering, who can be found, the main thing is not to waste time. By the way, it is Svarozhich's name day that opens the period of autumn weddings.

Svarozhich people can look at fire without stopping, and it is from it that they draw energy. Their talismanic birds that bring good luck are the rooster and the swan. The life of representatives of this sign will be happy if they can burn without burning out and do not lose their ideals in life.

People born at this time of year receive the patronage of Morana. The name of this Slavic goddess clearly links to the word "mor", which means sudden death that overtakes almost everyone without exception. Mor could destroy both a tiny village and a huge state. Morena is the goddess of painful, barren decrepitude, the withering of life processes, death. And the sacrifices to this creature were appropriate - withered flowers, fallen leaves, spoiled, rotten fruits. And it was also believed that she liked to accept extinct human lives.

The symbols of Morana were broken skulls, the Black Moon and a sickle - a tool for cutting the Thread of Life. At the same time, the ancient Slavs believed that death at the hands of this formidable and inexorable goddess was not a complete cessation of existence, but a transition to life in a different quality. After all, Rod the Almighty himself established an order according to which Spring would inevitably replace Winter, which takes away everything that has outlived its usefulness.

In order to save themselves from death and all sorts of troubles, our ancestors came up with a special ritual. Before Ivanov's Day, they cut down a tree, which was supposed to personify Morana, and decorated it with flower wreaths and ribbons. Together with "Morana", they also dressed up "Kupala" - a doll made of straw. After all these preparations, they lit a fire and, holding "Kupala" in their hands, jumped over it in pairs all night. And on the morning of Ivanov's Day, they removed the decorations from the man-made incarnations of both deities, and then threw the tree and the straw doll into the river. After that, as the ancient Slavs believed, the formidable Morana could no longer be feared so much.

People under her protection are destined to be born in a dull, frightening time, when you can count and hope only on yourself. Of all the other signs, this one is considered the strongest, and this power has properties bordering on magical. Patient and persistent children of Morena steadily move towards their goal and are not at all nervous: they already know that everything will work out. When they find themselves in the most difficult, hopeless life situations, they do not even think about giving up, but on the contrary, they gather all their will into a fist. In addition, in difficult situations, they are under the protection of Destiny itself.

Representatives of this sign do not avoid and are not afraid of struggle. Moreover, they are always determined to win and are not afraid to look death itself in the face. It is no coincidence that Morena people can become excellent doctors, in particular, working in intensive care and surgery: they are capable of pulling almost anyone back from the brink of death. Without confrontation, without competition, neither love nor friendship seems interesting to them. Those born during this period are characterized not only by resilience, but also by an unusually developed self-discipline. They do not know how to compromise and can often be vindictive.

В то же время часто этим людям приходится колебаться между двумя привязанностями. Они не дают своим чувствам взять над собой полную волю. Не любят ответственности и поэтому стараются ее избежать, хотя работу выполняют неизменно на высоком уровне. Детям Мораны одновременно присущи доброжелательность, нежность, мечтательность, благоразумие, элегантность, тонкий эротизм — и агрессивность, угрюмость, мрачность, вспыльчивость, упрямство, неистовство, ревнивость. Большинство представительниц прекрасного пола, родившихся под покровительством Мораны, являются пресловутыми роковыми женщинами. Впрочем, чаще всего энергетика и мощь детей этой богини направлена на оборону и гораздо реже — на нападение.

Morena people are extremely strong, but even they need additional energy. For them, its source is dead water. It can be collected in any body of water when the water in it is half frozen. Like a fairy tale, it acts as protection for representatives of this sign from all sorts of problems and resurrects them to life, giving new strength. People born at this time maintain excellent physical shape until old age and are long-livers.

Morena's children, who have a truly demonic nature, are distinguished by a detached view of the world, craving, and a pronounced interest in everything otherworldly. They have the ability to control people's feelings, so they sometimes decide on what is taboo for others.

In addition, the patron of people born at this time was also considered to be Veles, who was responsible for the relationship between the two worlds - the living and the dead, for the continuity of the cycle of births and deaths. His wards understand well that a new birth is simply impossible without death, as well as the acquisition of something - without sacrifice. The best representatives of this sign know how to renounce what belongs to them. It often happens that the children of Veles, possessing nothing, in fact, acquire a lot, if not everything. People born at this time become worthy representatives of power, skillful managers.

People who were born in November, or, as our ancestors called it, in the breast, receive protection from Semargl.

In the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, Semargl, with a fiery sword in his hands, guarded the house, the family hearth, and acted as the keeper of fire sacrifices. They believed that this deity kept seeds and crops in the warmth emanating from his heart. So that he would not get angry, his name was not pronounced out loud. People believed that this god periodically acquired the appearance of a sacred winged dog. It was with Semargl that our ancestors tended to associate the origin of feelings between men and women. People of both sexes, in their opinion, were created from two small sticks, between which a fire suddenly flared up.

Legends say that Semargl was born from the flames that flared up from sparks struck by the magic hammer of the mighty Svarog on the Alatyr stone. The banner of this fire god was a cloud of thick smoke, and he himself rode across the earth on a silver, golden-maned horse, leaving behind a scorched trail. And yet, much more often, he was peaceful, calm, and always protected people from evil, especially when the darkness of night descended on the world. Only once a year - on the day of the autumn equinox - Semargl left his post for love games with Kupalnitsa. The fruits of this love are Kupalo and Kostroma.

Anyone who was born at this time is a true warrior, a strong-spirited person. His element and need is to always try to achieve something, fight for justice, win. Semargl's children are able to cope with almost any task assigned to them. Representatives of this sign treat their chosen ones with sincere, deep love. As a rule, many children are born in their family, and this makes them very happy.

In addition, in November, the Skipper-beast, belonging to Perun and the leader of various creatures of the other world and snakes, is in charge. People born under his patronage are characterized by special wisdom and insight, which helps them penetrate the most secret, "dark" motives that drive others. They know how to talentedly influence people psychologically. Representatives of this sign have especially strong ties with deceased ancestors. It is no coincidence that it is in November that the parental night dedicated to ancestors is celebrated. In the thoughts and actions of people born in this month, one can find knowledge about the other side of things and the experience of past generations.

The ancient Slavs imagined Winter as a white-faced beauty in a snow-white soul-warmer, who rode around the estate on a piebald horse and froze everything around with her icy breath. Blood runs cold from her kiss, and all sorts of "evil spirits" try to hide from Winter as best they can. Winter's servants are blizzards, snowstorms, drifting snow. Together with their mistress, they try to make sure that everything around is covered with snow, that everything is covered with a white blanket. The beginning of her reign is a time of fun and joy, bright holidays. But closer to March, Winter becomes an old woman - ugly, harmful and insidious.

People of Winter look at the world with optimism, because they were destined to be born at a time when cellars are bursting with all sorts of supplies. They may give the impression of being cold and distant, but in reality these are people with a warm heart, which is warm enough to warm those around them. Representatives of this sign often become fierce fighters against world evil. There are practically no accidents in their lives; the events of their lives are under the influence of some incomprehensible light forces.

People of this sign are often inquisitive researchers and passionate athletes. Children of Winter are interested in many things, and not related to the material side of existence - the life of space, parallel worlds, unusual natural phenomena, etc. They like to reflect on the mysteries of the universe, peer into the starry sky, trying to find answers to eternal questions. Being smart and very well-read, representatives of this sign have a broad outlook, are known as "walking encyclopedias" and are wonderful conversationalists.

People born under the auspices of Winter do not take anything on faith without proof. Even in search of the purely spiritual, representatives of this sign are accustomed to starting from the material. They live in accordance with their own laws, and therefore it may seem that they cannot be controlled. However, control over them is not needed, because they are highly moral people whose thoughts are distinguished by purity and nobility. If something is not regulated by social norms, then for them it is under the jurisdiction of religious morality, which is distinguished by greater depth.

Winter has gifted her children with a large reserve of patience, which is a great help for them in family life. Moreover, the well-being of the family is often based on this quality, on the sacrifice of the Winter person. Thanks to their character, they easily make friends, and in general, people are usually drawn to them.

Winter people tend to perceive the world around them in black and white, without halftones, since they believe that the basis of the world order is the eternal struggle of opposing forces. They see their mission in fighting on the side of good and carry it out all their lives, never relaxing. The famous expression "The world is not without good people" applies to the wards of Winter in full measure.

Representatives of this sign usually have the opportunity to boast of excellent health, especially if they maintain physical fitness through hardening.

The appearance of Vyrgon-Death is simply magnificent. Its only "minor" flaws are its snake-like hair and deadly gaze. The whole year this creature, living in the sea-Ocean, on an island near the World Tree, spends time in cheerful games and amusements. However, with the onset of the time of love, she is no longer in the mood for laughter, and Vyrgon calls animals to herself one by one, starting with the lion. Birds, reptiles and people flock to her, who cannot resist the call of Death, the call of love. Death-Vyrgon knows the languages ​​of all living creatures on earth, so everyone hears and understands her call. The one who comes to her call and looks into her beautiful eyes at least once, is no longer able to escape the knowledge of the Supreme Love through Death...

Those familiar with ancient Greek myths understand that Vyrgon is the "twin sister" of Medusa Gorgon. These mythological figures really have one source - the pre-Aryan culture of Death. And Vyrgon has a nickname - Medusa, which is equivalent to "mistress", "mistress", Mistress of Death. Even in the early Middle Ages, the Slavs considered the image of Medusa Gorgon their amulet. It is known that Vladimir Monomakh had a serpentine with the appearance of this character. According to medieval legends, the owner of the Gorgon's head was Alexander the Great. It was this circumstance that explained his glory as a commander who won one brilliant victory after another.

People born under the patronage of Vyrgoni are distinguished by persistence, independence, an extremely vivid imagination, a dislike of too much hard work, an indomitable desire for a comfortable life. They often become speculators and swindlers. Children of Vyrgoni are characterized by belligerence and vanity; they love to be praised, glorified and put on a pedestal. Women of this sign can easily compete with the stronger sex. The chosen ones of people born at this time very often become representatives of another race, social circle, another religion.

As one of the versions of the Slavic Zodiac indicates, people born at this time are under the protection of Kitovras. This is a mythological centaur, one half of whose body is horse-like, and the other is human. It is said about this character that he is wise and strong, but has a weakness for wine. Kitovras is able to fool anyone, but this ability often turns against him. The gods who patronize the "dark" half of the year, using the centaur's love of alcohol, force him to put his wisdom and strength at the service of self-interest and evil. This inevitably leads to punishment from the light gods.

Like their patron Kitovras, people born during this period are quite capable of achieving significant success in literally all areas of life, but on condition that their desire for all sorts of benefits and worldly pleasures does not go beyond reasonable bounds.

People born on these December days have another patron - Karachun, the underground god, the master of frosts. The Slavs believed that his servants were wolves-blizzards and bears-connecting rodents, who had the ability to turn into snowstorms. Then Karachun began to be considered a deity responsible for the death of cattle.

Karachun's Day is December 23, one of the frostiest winter days. It was this god who was credited with shortening the daylight hours. The image of an inexorable, menacing, terrible force is reflected in the expression that still exists today - "to give Karachun", the meaning of which is to beat, to torture to death, to kill someone, to die.

The time when Karachun reigns is the coldest, darkest and most hopeless, because spring is still very far away. And only after December 23, when it ends, the Sun begins to set for summer, and a person begins to feel good and hopeful.

Люди, которым довелось родиться под знаком Карачуна, имеют далеко не блестящее здоровье. Объясняется это тем, что их появление на свет пришлось на период природного энергетического спада, ведь небеса пусты, земли — безжизненны, а воды захвачены в плен льдами…

Karachun people are forced to make efforts to somehow correct this state of affairs and become more energetic. And in general, nothing falls out of the sky for them, but everything is obtained at the cost of great effort. It is quite possible that one fine day a person born under the auspices of Karachun will experience a strong desire to find refuge from harsh reality in a dream world. People of this sign often tend to be carried away by their thoughts into the future or the past. They love to travel and show a remarkable interest in the cultures of other countries. They are especially attracted to southern countries.

Those born at this time often find it difficult to communicate with people. Perhaps that is why they love to tinker with animals and can tame a wild animal. Karachun people are distinguished by their lack of faith in themselves. In order not to ruin their lives, they must study the collective experience of humanity, rely not on themselves, but on objective social ideals. This will give them confidence, will allow them to feel that they are involved in all life processes that have a global, worldwide character.

Representatives of this sign may look sullen, cold, irritable, angry, inaccessible, but this is nothing more than a mask. Upon closer communication, it turns out that in reality they are pleasant, cheerful, witty, and are skilled mockers. It is not surprising that Karachun people can become good parodists and talented satirists. However, in this way they try to hide from the deep sadness that often gnaws at their souls.

Those born at this time have pronounced abilities in linguistics, can compose talented poems and often choose the path of a translator. Karachun's children are hard workers, and it is not difficult for them to cope with the hardest work. Inactivity can cause depression, so some kind of activity, work is simply vital for representatives of this sign.

Usually, the personal life of Karachuns is not very successful, although they are aimed at creating their own family. Moreover, these people are not able to live a day alone. The reason for the difficulties lies in their lack of communication, bordering on outright unsociability.

In communicating with such a person, the most difficult task is to make him take off his usual mask. And when this happens, it becomes obvious that Karachun is a real treasure, for which it was worth working. All signs of the Slavic horoscope can safely connect their lives with them.

According to the beliefs of the Slavs, Perun looked like a gray-haired mature man. His gray hair looked like silver, and his beard and mustache were golden. He was also depicted in legends as an angry man of age, who had a large, red, curling beard. People believed that he raced across the skies on a chariot or a horse, and the thunder heard on earth was nothing more than the roar produced by his chariot. White and black stallions with wings were harnessed to it.

The name "Perun" arose in ancient times and is interpreted as "the one who hits harder", "the one who strikes". The god it denotes is the oldest and most famous of the Children of Svarog and Lada, the master of thunder, lightning, and storm clouds. When Perun saw this light, a strong earthquake occurred. Before the young deity had time to grow up, he and his sisters were kidnapped by the half-man, half-scorpion Skipper and plunged into eternal sleep. Perun slept in captivity for a long time and had already turned into a man when his older brothers found him in the dungeon. Washed with living water, the god came to his senses, found and destroyed the evil spell that had turned his sisters into monsters, and destroyed the Skipper-beast.

People born under the patronage of Perun are distinguished by a special vitality, fearlessness, and masculinity. Their own image and the impression they make on others do not bother them much. These people are more feared than respected, and even more so than loved. Perun's children do not get divorced, they stop scandals from developing, but they turn into aggressive creatures when they cannot find a worthy use for their energy. If in the best embodiment these people can be called stern, brave warriors, then the embodiment with the "minus" sign is the role of a soldier, a reveler and a rowdy.

People born in January have another patron - Indrik-beast. It is depicted as a Unicorn. The battle of this creature with Leo is considered a symbol of the month, and its deep meaning is the battle of the law of time (Kolyada) with the self (Indra). It is noteworthy that none of the surviving popular prints and paintings have a plot in which one of the fighters would win over the other. This is one of the laws of world evolution: the annual cycle (circle) and free will (linear vector), which have equal force, sum up, unite, and create a spiral movement, i.e. development that has no end point.

Those who were born under the patronage of the Unicorn have the opportunity to be maximally free in expressing their own will. That is why, in order to prevent imbalance in the surrounding world, they are obliged to exercise great caution. Any peaks can be conquered by Unicorn people if they often think about whether they are taking on too much. It will be especially useful for them to remember the old proverb "Slow and steady wins the race."

According to the mythology of the Eastern Slavs, Stribog is the god of wind. His name from the point of view of the modern language can be interpreted as "elder", "paternal uncle". It was believed that Stribog was born thanks to the breath of Rod. In the minds of people, the god of wind looked like an old man with gray hair, who could live in different places - on an island in the sea-Okiyan, or in an impenetrable thicket, or even at the edge of the world.

This deity was quite revered by our ancestors. At that time, the boat, sail, rudder, anchor had already been invented; the Rus boldly explored the sea and believed that Stribog, turning into a bird, causes or, conversely, stops bad weather, storms. They prayed to him for the sending of wind to fill the sails.

A person born under the patronage of Stribog is distinguished by religiosity, a mystical focus of mind, and the ability to successfully study ancient teachings. A one-sided view of the surrounding reality and a rather hot temper lead to the fact that Stribog's children easily make enemies for themselves. Opponents begin to wage a secret struggle if they see that representatives of this sign are abusing the power they have. A Stribog person usually has trouble expressing their own emotions and feelings.

February was once called lutem, fierce. Those born at this time have another patron - a god named Kryshen. According to the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, this deity saved freezing people from certain death by sending them a saving fire. Kryshen was the personification of the power of reason, knowledge, thought.

Thanks to their patron, those born at this time have a high level of intelligence, which makes it possible to protect themselves from various problems and successfully resolve the most difficult situations. Like their patron, the Kryshen person, generating new ideas, can kindle the fire of knowledge. In their best incarnation, representatives of this sign are true patriots, ready to defend their native land at any time. They are equally reverent about their home and family.

People who were born at this time are under the protection of one of the most revered gods by the Slavs - Rod, who was considered the creator of the Universe, the basis of all that exists. Rod, together with his sole descendants, serves as the personification of the unity of all living beings in our world.

Children of Rod tend to feel a connection with all people, their own involvement in all events and phenomena happening around them. Even if these feelings are not fully realized, the well-being of people born this month is still built on this involvement. They can put into practice the well-known principle "If you want to change something - change yourself" like no one else. If, for example, a Rod person finds himself alone, he will not worry about it, but will decide for himself that it only seems that way to him. And as soon as he thinks this, the doorbell or the phone rings.

Being very receptive, these people are guided in their actions more by intuition than by reason. Of all the other signs, they are the ones who become most attached to others and are more reverent in their loyalty. These are people with a rich inner content, who know how to forgive and have a docile character. Nevertheless, those born in this month can be victims of others and themselves. They like it better when their love partner chooses them from those around them than when they have to make the choice themselves.

Rod makes its wards wise people who know human psychology very well, and from their very birth. The psychology of the unconscious is also subject to them; they read the secret motives of human actions like an open book. The children of Rod feel that they are blood-related to all living nature, and therefore do not doubt that people descended from animals.

These people were born at a time when all living things come to life to love, and therefore they are characterized by a pronounced elemental sexuality. They are incredibly passionate lovers, and sometimes it seems that their blood simply boils from the flood of feelings. Having decided to charm or attract someone, a representative of this sign almost always achieves his goal, since it is very difficult to resist his charm. However, people born at this time can charm, confuse, and confuse not only in love, but also in all other spheres of life. However, being in their networks can also be beneficial: the wise Rod, in the person of his wards, knows how to guide on the true path like no one else. He understands and loves everyone, does not disdain anyone, and, plunging into the darkness of hell, takes lost souls from there to show them the way to the light of truth.

This sign is considered the most mysterious in the Slavic Zodiac. The life path of its representatives seems mysterious and very vague to those around them.
