WE LIVE IN TURBULENT TIME, BUT THE NEXT MONTHS PROMISE TO US A LITTLE GOOD, AS THE FAMOUS TIBETAN ASTROLOGIST LOBSANG NAMKA STATES. RECENTLY, HE VISITED RUSSIA FOR THE FIRST TIME AND SPECIALLY FOR MARIE CLAIRE DRAFT A FORECAST FOR THE CURRENT YEAR AND MINI-HOROSCOPES BY THE YEAR OF BIRTH IN THE LAST 50 YEARS
In Tibet, this period is associated with luck, order, financial stability and prosperity. The color green symbolizes peace and tranquility, so the year will have just such properties to a large extent. Sheep - "Yin", the most feminine of all signs. He is responsible for assistance, cooperation, compassion, patience, gullibility and trust, the desire for mutual understanding and support. Sheep are organized and social animals and rarely conflict, so this year it will be easier to organize something - the main thing is to take into account the interests of others. It is useful to unite this year - especially for a good cause. The Wood element corresponds to the Air element - it is the most changeable and mobile of all the elements. Therefore, the year will be rich in changes, travel, renewal. It is also the energy of creativity, patronizing writing, design, music,new projects, ideas, inventions. Sheep is easy-going and favors any undertakings - whether it be a new romance, a business project, renovation, or even moving to another country. And the Tree also symbolizes research. Therefore, long trips are useful during this period - especially to exotic countries and places where you have never been. Anything related to getting out of your comfort zone will bring good luck. But it is important to observe moderation - in spending, in emotions, in financial claims. The weather this year will also be moderate, without heat and severe cold, good harvests are guaranteed.where you've never been.

Anything related to getting out of your comfort zone will bring good luck. But it is important to observe moderation - in spending, in emotions, in financial claims. The weather this year will also be moderate, without heat and severe cold, good harvests are guaranteed.
Difficulties. Many conflicts, which were rich in the previous year of the Blue Wood Horse (her energies are unbridled and impulsive), will be able to be settled. True, some of them will nevertheless become protracted. Sheep can be stubborn and often lack flexibility and diplomacy. Unexpected events are possible - not always pleasant ones, to which you will need to react quickly. Striving for profit, for a quick jackpot will not bring good luck. The energy of the Wood element is associated with justice, so this year fraud and lawlessness will not go unpunished. Be careful with loans and large spending - now is not the time for them. But believe in yourself. The sheep are not as decisive as possible, so it may be difficult for many to take bold steps in the coming months. But excessive passivity is harmful: be flexible and at the same time more persistent, do not doubt yourself and your decisions,and most importantly, believe in luck. The last in the Year of the Sheep is also very important. Pessimism and a generally negative attitude is now unnecessary and even dangerous.
Career. Nowadays it is good to be engaged in social activities - first of all, charity and volunteering. Help others - most importantly, with good intentions - and you yourself will find harmony. The qualities that are best cultivated are awareness, responsibility and compassion. Sheep supports professions related to social work and helping others: doctors, teachers, farmers, the service industry. The spheres related to technology, business, management will not be very profitable - the financial crisis that began last year has not yet lost ground. But overall, this is a good year for looking for a new job (don't be afraid to start from scratch), as well as for studies and various trainings.
A family. Sheep never live alone and are affectionate, so in 2015 love and harmony will prevail. The main thing is to give these energies the green light: to argue less with the people who are significant in your life, to make peace with those against whom you hold a grudge for a long time, and in general - to make compromises more often and forgive as much as possible. This is the year of family and partnership. The Year of New Chances: If the feelings in your marriage have cooled down, in the Year of the Sheep there will be energy to warm them up again. Also during this period it is good to get married and in general to enter into any unions. This is a great time to conceive or adopt a child. Children who are born under the sign of the Wood Sheep are unlikely to grow up to be leaders, but they will have a good heart and the ability to empathize. This is the year of returning to the roots, uniting, establishing contacts with relatives and settling the house.
Health. The Year of the Sheep is about moderation and balance. Try to follow the daily routine (Sheep love this kind of routine), avoid fatty foods and too active sports. Drink plenty of water. Monitor your vision and urinary system. Wear green, brown, sand, blue and gray colors more often.
Tibetan astrology is a very ancient and complex science, which is still practiced by lamas and doctors to this day. Recently, it has become fashionable to go to such astrologers: in particular, thanks to the actively popularizing Tibetan Buddhism, Professor Bob Thurman (dad of Uma Thurman) and Richard Gere, politicians, celebrities and representatives of big business began to turn to Tibetan gurus. These horoscopes are surprisingly accurate - even an experienced astrologer takes several days to make a full forecast - and can predict all important events up to the date of death. But all the same, it will not be 100% probability - Tibetans believe that the future is multivariate and fate largely depends on our way of thinking and behavior.
5 facts you need to know to understand the Tibetan horoscope by year of birth:
- The basis of the Tibetan calendar, unlike the Gregorian, is not the Sun, but the Moon and its phases. It is believed that the phases of the rising and falling of the moon affect the inner and outer world, alternating energies that are more or less favorable for certain actions.
- The three constituents of the Tibetan astrological system: 12 animals, five elements, and nine numbers. Animals (this system is similar to the Chinese horoscope) - Mouse, Ox, Tiger, Hare, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Bird, Dog, Pig - always combined with five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), each of which is repeated for two consecutive years. So they form a 60-year cycle called Metreng. In each Metrenge, 12 animals are repeated five times - each time in combination with another element.
- An even year is considered male, and an odd year is considered female. Male energy is associated with action, lunar energy, and also with cold. Has a nature of stability and tranquility. Feminine energy, emotional and unstable, is associated with wisdom, solar energy, warmth.
- Each element symbolizes a specific color: Wood - green, Fire - red, Earth - yellow, Metal - white, Water - blue.
- In Tibetan astrology, it is believed that each of us was born under the influence of a certain combination - an animal sign, a certain element and a special Meva number (from 1 to 9). This combination is repeated exactly once every 180 years. But, of course, the date and time of birth and other factors are of great importance.
