The bull is the symbol of 2022

If you lack reliability and stability in life, in business, in finances, then such a serious and strong Feng Shui talisman, the Ox, will help you. Many countries and cultures have such a positively strong and powerful talisman, and Feng Shui is no exception. The Ox figurine, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, is a strong, muscular animal, striding forward and symbolizing: determination in life and perseverance in achieving desires, incredible power and strength, this creature is absolutely self-confident and not afraid of responsibility and difficult decisions. And now, according to our tradition, safety precautions.

Bull - as a symbol of the Golden Calf

Only the peoples of earthly groups, whose Heaven was close and whose Heavenly Manna corresponded to material ideas and needs, could deify the bull (its analogues: buffalo, calf) as a heavenly creator.

There is a legend about the golden calf, which Moses' elder brother Aaron made from the gold jewelry of the wives of Israel while the prophet was obtaining the tablets of the Covenant for his people on Mount Sinai.

What was bad about that idol or what was the sin of the deification of the golden calf by the ancient Jews?

This was the symbol of the Egyptian sacred bull Apis, dedicated to Ptah (the first creator and ruler of the world of the dead) or Osiris (the deity of the underworld, the king of rebirth, he was also called the “bull of the underworld”), that is, the rejection of the One God and a return to the beliefs of the civilization from which Moses led his people away. That is, betrayal of a new emerging religion for the sake of the old traditional egregor.

And further, already in the European tradition, the golden calf symbolized material values and wealth, human greed and thirst for profit - everything that Moses tried to turn his people away from.

In the stock market, a “bullish trend” or “bulls” refers to a growing market and those who play for higher prices. After all, a bull throws its opponent up with its horns, in contrast to the opposite force - “bears”, named by analogy with an animal that throws its victims to the ground, down.

It is not for nothing that the powerful attacking bull is one of the most popular symbols of New York and Wall Street, the financial heart of America, and perhaps the entire planet...

His balls are shining - after all, tourists from all over the world want not only to look at this aggressive financial producer, but also to perform a simple ritual of attracting wealth and material luck into their lives - to rub their bullish “dignity”.

"Hour of the Ox" according to Feng Shui

The day can be divided into equal time intervals, according to the number of astrological patron animals. In China they believe that each such gap has its own miraculous properties. There is a special time for entertainment and scientific studies, preparation of medicinal potions and declarations of love. If you “hit” the right interval correctly, you will be able to achieve a much greater effect from your efforts.

According to Feng Shui, the “hour of the ox” occurs in the dead of night, it lasts from 1-00 to 3-00.

Naturally, you can and should sleep at this time - in this case, relaxation will be complete, and the rest itself will perfectly refresh and restore strength. But born night owls also have a chance to use the magic of this hour to their advantage.

“The Time of the Ox” is ideal for analytical work and making plans - if you follow them in the future, you can achieve great success.

Natural symbol of fertility

If we move away from the human ethnic group and use the method of natural analogies, then functionally the bull embodies the male principle of serving earthly life, matter, and the manifested world. He is a giving, nourishing symbol of male fertility. His horns also carry the meaning of male resurgent strength, powerful potency.

As a tamed masculine principle, bulls in mythology were depicted under royal riders (Europe, Astarte), the function of lovers and producers is clearly visible here.

In the Tarot system, the active, male power of the Taurus sign is carried by the senior lasso “Emperor”, who controls matter, disposes of earthly goods, and supplies them to his couple - the “Empress” (female card of the Taurus sign).

Therefore, in the traditions of different peoples of the world, there are images of a heavenly divine bull, which nourishes the earth with the moisture of rain, whose roar is thunder, and whose nostrils spew lightning. His consorts are lunar and earthly goddesses, performing the functions of a wife and mother.

The Kidnapping of Europa

The Greek myth tells about the beautiful Europa, the daughter of the Phoenician king Agenor, with whom the thunderer Zeus fell in love. In order to kidnap her, Zeus turned into a bull and, when the girl and her friends were walking through the meadow, he approached her.

Europe liked the bull, she stroked his golden fur and kissed his head. The bull lay down at the feet of the beautiful princess, inviting her to sit on his back. As soon as Europe sat on the bull, he immediately rushed to the sea, threw himself into the water and swam to the island of Crete. There Europa became the wife of Zeus.

Bull sacrifice

The symbolic basis of this ritual is based on natural cyclicality. The bull is one of the mythological tetramorph creatures that personify the quaternary earth-cosmic structures: 4 guardian stars of the sky, 4 cardinal directions, 4 seasons, 4 elements, etc.

The Avestan tradition describes the Guardians of the sky - “fixed stars”, belonging to the zodiacal constellations of the fixed cross:

Guardian of the East - star Aldebaran (constellation Taurus );
Guardian of the West - star Antares (constellation Scorpio);
Guardian of the South - star Fomalhaut (constellation Southern Pisces);
The Guardian of the North is the star Regulus (constellation Leo).

These Stars and the cosmic Essences assigned to their directions played the role of guardians for earthly life, protecting it from cosmic chaos and dark forces. In the space of the Earth in various cultures they were personified in the images of various creatures.

In Christian culture, this is a four: Taurus, Leo, Eagle, Angel (or Man).

They correspond to the signs of the Zodiac - Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, representing the solar annual cycle visible from the Earth. In which one force dies (falls asleep, curls up) so that the next one is born (woke up, unfolds).

Therefore, at a certain point in the year, Taurus (natural, lunar force, conception, the principle of the subconscious) must be sacrificed to the next force, which is contained in the sign Leo (solar force, birth, development of consciousness, individual creation).

That is why, in the ritual culture of different countries, the sacrifice of a bull (tauroctony, taurobolium, hecatomb, etc.) occupied an important place, which fit into the annual cycle and coincided with the beginning of the year, whenever it was celebrated - in winter or on the spring equinox.

Often the main character of this sacrifice is a bull's head with horns, and bull's blood and semen were also spilled on the ground - supposedly to revive nature, life, and renew the world.

The priests could choose the color of the ritual bull based on its dedication to certain forces, for example, black was dedicated to the underground gods, white to the heavenly gods. The so-called “marked” bulls, having some kind of natural mark on their forehead, were especially revered. Animals with a cross-shaped figurine between their horns were super valuable.

Often bull sacrifices were accompanied by some kind of confrontation with the hero . The ritual of the competition between the Hero and the Bull is still preserved in traditional shows in different countries. For example, in the Spanish bullfighting tradition, black bulls are used, which symbolically means death, and according to the internal ethics of this ritual, the bullfighter must respect the strength and courage of his opponent.

Spanish bullfighting is so popular that it has become a national symbol of the country (despite attacks from international animal rights organizations).

The Spanish bull embodies the spirit of the nation, not the official, but the national totem of the country, symbolically capturing the victory of the human principle over animal nature.

How to find out your animal amulet for zodiac signs and date of birth

Even when our ancestors lived in a tribe, they believed that everyone had their own helper animal, which they just had to find and then turn to in difficult times. That is why they made things with a totem animal and wore them on their chests. The ancient Slavs chose animal amulets by date of birth in accordance with the palace in the Svarozh circle.

Now astrology has proven that you can recognize your animal by its zodiac sign. After painstaking work, they managed to calculate their own patron for each representative. We will tell you in our article about which constellation which totem is suitable for and how to recognize your talisman.

Capricorn

Capricorn was born under Saturn, element - Earth. Capricorns are practical and purposeful, so a black cat is their faithful companion and protector. Like Capricorn, the cat protects its possessions from evil eyes and small pests. And Capricorns themselves have some kind of mystical connection with the black cat, since they always get along well.

You can get yourself a cat - this will be ideal, since a pet is the strongest possible protector. But if there is no desire or opportunity, then you should buy a pendant, get a tattoo, or at least put a figurine in your room.

There is another amulet for the representative of this constellation - the turtle.

The clumsy and slow animal nevertheless carries within itself great vitality (since they live for hundreds of years) and have limitless wisdom. The description suits Capricorn perfectly to his lifestyle.

In addition, a figurine of a turtle in Japan is considered a symbol of prosperity and suits everyone, so placing a figurine or hanging a picture will be very useful.

It is clear that a goat will also be a good totem - it increases vital energy.

You can't have a baby goat as a pet, but a figurine, image or pendant won't hurt.

Aquarius

Despite the name, Aquarians are airy, so they constantly want freedom and change. The best amulet for Aquarius is something with wings. They help you feel inner peace and motivation to do great things.

A good amulet with wings for representatives of this constellation are figurines of birds or angels. Even an airplane will do if you are choosing a protective item for a teenager or little boy. A live bird will also work very powerfully for Aquarius representatives.

Fish

Pisces are incredibly creative. Their element gives them the opportunity to branch out, try many things, float back and forth, try different styles and invent something of their own. But at the same time, fish often go with the flow, adapt to circumstances, and therefore they do not always succeed in what is important.

Of course, for Pisces, the best amulet is fish. You can choose a necklace, a figurine, or even an aquarium with live fish. They calm you down, give you the opportunity to escape and live in some other world, and this is exactly what this sign needs.

Aries

Aries is pure fire - vain but optimistic, stubborn and driven but impulsive. They are not without a sense of humor and charm, which allows them to enjoy resounding success with the opposite sex.

But Aries, as bright personalities, still do not stop looking for magical help from outside, so quite often you can hear from them: “So what animal is my talisman?” There is nothing simpler - the name itself contains a hint.

This, of course, can be not only a ram or a sheep, but also any horned animal, for example, a goat or a deer. They will also serve faithfully, especially if you place them in areas where you feel weak or need help - at work, at home, etc.

Taurus

Taurus is associated with the element of Earth. He always achieves what he set out to do, solves all the difficulties that confront him, because he is very hardworking. It is pleasant to communicate with him, as he has a good sense of humor, a calmness that attracts people, and friendliness that lies behind a wide, pleasant smile.

The disadvantage is short temper. If something out of the ordinary happens, Taurus will go crazy, become a real bull in a bullfight and will not say hello to anyone who gets in his way.

The animal mascot is, of course, a bull. You can wear it as a chest decoration. It not only looks good and original, but also helps you achieve your goals and protects you from bad thoughts and evil eyes.

And also animal mascots for Taurus - an eagle owl or an owl. But they work rather for peace of mind and harmony in the family.

Twins

They belong to the element of Air. These people are usually very optimistic, creative, with incredible intuition and great optimism and vitality. At the same time, they are vulnerable and touchy, capable of great sincerity in love and really need their feelings to be answered. That is why they are good psychologists.

The talisman for the sign of Gemini is, first of all, a wise raven. It develops excellent intuition, promotes the development of memory and thinking abilities.

You should contact him for help if:

nerves to the limit;
I don’t want to decide anything;
concentration is urgently needed;
faith in your abilities is necessary;
I urgently need some sign from above that would explain the situation and suggest the right way out.

In such a situation, the raven may even develop supernatural abilities and reveal your magical side.

The meaning of the elephant amulet for Gemini is that it motivates you to work, clears your brain of sad thoughts, inspires hope and gives you inner peace and the feeling that your purpose on earth has not yet been fulfilled. The Elephant influences Gemini like a cup of delicious coffee and a pleasant conversation.

Cancer

Cancer's element is Water. This is a subtle and sensitive person with amazing psychic abilities. He feels people subtly and knows how to keep secrets. He knows how to figure out others, but he himself is very secretive.

If you are asking which animal is your astrological assistant, pay attention to funny hamsters and rabbits. Another excellent choice would be cats, elephants and other totems that are characterized by caring for others and their offspring.

The most important thing is not to choose anything dull and too calm - no turtles, crayfish, or fish.

a lion

The Noble Leo carries the symbol of fire and sun. Leos are strong and noble people; they prefer to solve their problems alone, do not trust many people and often close themselves off from their families.

According to the horoscope, as in the wild, Leo is the king of animals, formidable and powerful, cruel even to those closest to him. A peace-loving ladybug will help pacify his character. Wear it as a decoration, keychain, or place a figurine, and notice how sharp character traits smooth out.

The importance of the owl talisman for Leos, especially females, cannot be overestimated. By buying yourself a pendant or brooch, you can reduce the repulsive power and increase sexuality.

Virgo

Virgo is an earth sign. She is hardworking and practical. Adheres to the rules and laws, creates a family of convenience. He is very worried about his health and often runs to hospitals. Her decisions are clearly thought out, she waits for a reaction from those she helps, she is not talkative and keeps her plans secret.

A talisman for Virgo should be light and weightless - a grasshopper or a swallow. You can have them as pets or purchase a talisman for Virgo in the form of a figurine of these totems. Living in a house where a swallow has built a nest is the best thing one can wish for this sign, because he will be constantly protected.

In addition, the beetle talisman will help you gain wisdom in difficult moments, the value of which for the hypochondriac Virgo will be simply invaluable. It will give the owner the opportunity to look at what is happening from the true side, be it health or a difficult situation.

Scales

Libra belongs to the air element. They appreciate beauty, constantly preen themselves, and therefore love to receive compliments. They are a little unsure of themselves, but always remain calm. They have a good sense of humor, which often helps resolve conflicts.

For the zodiac signs Libra, the totem is the Peacock, who also loves to admire himself. You can put a feather in your room or buy a bright painting with this bird of paradise. A fox or dolphin will also protect Libra from adversity.

Scorpion

“Water” Scorpio is the most mysterious sign. Possessing the strongest intuition, but at the same time they are vulnerable, and therefore almost always attack first, regardless of whether there is a real danger or not. With such emotional behavior they often hurt loved ones.

Good pets for those born under this constellation will be snakes, beetles, scorpions and spiders.

They are also intimidating, but if you behave carefully with them, they can even become loyal protectors.

But this is not the only option for totems. Including you can choose:

The bear as a talisman will develop internal potential. By choosing, for example, a bear claw amulet, you will be able to use it to learn how to overcome difficulties, as well as protect yourself from the evil eye.
The bird will improve family relationships and open the heart to love and harmony.
Gazelle will energize and motivate.
The wolf will help you understand what you need to do next in life.
The shark will give you strength in overcoming difficulties. For the best effect, choose a shark tooth amulet, which means victory over your weaknesses for Scorpio. But you shouldn’t be particularly zealous with wearing it, since having strong energy, it will begin to emphasize some of the aggressiveness characteristic of the sign.

You can get yourself all these figures and periodically turn to each of them with a specific problem.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius relates to fire. He is ambitious, impulsive, makes spontaneous decisions and often regrets it later.

But nevertheless, Sagittarius is famous for its generosity, ambition, and love of love - no one can take away these positive qualities. All astrologers agree that Sagittarius behave like the king of beasts - lions.

They love to manage their pride in the same way, but they do not always think about the decision and often destroy their relatives.

It is very interesting that Leo is not a very good talisman by date of birth for Sagittarius. Good fit - Partridge. It balances character, gives love, peace and harmony to the family.

If you want wealth, then buy a wooden figurine of a deer (just under no circumstances have antlers!).

If you are going on a trip, then take with you an image of wandering birds - a goose or an eagle.

Conclusion

But not only the right animal can become your assistant. Pay attention to the definition of amulet plant and tree by date of birth. By collecting all the talismans together you can achieve greater results than individually.

Ox in agriculture

One of the most powerful draft animals is the ox, that is, a former bull obtained through a “good” surgical operation - castration.

Indeed, unlike the bull, the ox has no sex glands in its body and has a very low content of sex hormones. And, as a result, there is no attraction to females - such animals are much easier to control, they are docile and not aggressive.

In addition to the fact that oxen's calm power is used in the process of plowing and transportation, they are also used as a meat animal, in other words, people eat them. Ox meat is more tender and tastier than bovine meat.

All of the above will help lead us to the main ideas of this image, which traditionally will begin to actively enter our everyday life long before the new moon on February 12, 2022, which kicks off the New Year of the Ox according to the eastern calendar.

Criminal value

In the area, a tattoo has a different meaning. Like all tattoos, it has its own meaning, which differs from the “free” one. Such a drawing is applied to people of exceptional strength, which entails responsibility for the obligations imposed.

As a rule, this is physical violence, instructions are given by a higher rank. For failure to comply, the rank of the bull wearing the tattoo drops, which is very serious in limited circles.

The meaning of the bull symbolism for 2022

The Year of the Ox according to the Eastern Calendar (Jupiterian) is the time when the planet Jupiter spends most of the year in the sign of Aquarius , which, by the way, it enters on December 20, 2020.

Aquarius is the bearer of new programs. Indeed, in fact, in the legend, it was the Bull who was the most powerful of the heap of animals that responded to the call of the Buddha and moved to meet him.

And, if not for the strategic sly Rat, then Bychara, by right, would have become the start of the cycle . After all, he is a leader in terms of natural strength and the ability to overcome natural difficulties. With it must come a new History, a new Time, a new Adventure.

But, the model of this calendar reality is such that the Ox enters this game not on a tabula rasa (“blank slate”), but taking into account all the moves (and tails) of the previous year of the rat, 2020! Moreover, Jupiter enters Aquarius a few days later than the rat-capricorn Saturn (its transgression is December 17, 2022).

Roughly speaking, by the beginning of 2022, the “skeleton” of the new time has already been created, the structure has been set, now a new form will begin to grow, a new “meat” will be organized... That is, the problems and tasks that the previous year (2020) highlighted for you will be are still relevant, you will again need pragmatism, a serious attitude and patience in moving towards your goals .

You will have the opportunity to turn everything that you experienced, felt and understood last year into your values, internal and external, in 2021. If you did not fade away in limitations and disappointments, but were able to strengthen and temper your Spirit, then now it will begin to actively attract new ways of realization through connections and people, through matter and space .

What exactly is the symbolic continuity of the Rat and Ox signs for us?

If you would like to use the image of the Ox as your inspiration or talismans in 2022, then you can base it on its basic meanings.

Character of the year:

strength, power and fertility - as natural qualities that you control, represent (if you are a man) or that nourish you, fertilize you (if you are a woman). It is necessary to correlate these qualities with the surrounding reality and changes taking place in society.

In the extreme yang aspect, the characteristic of the bull image carries aggression, wildness and rage , which are difficult to tame. In extreme Yin there is passivity and laziness.

Each of us may have some kind of personal “ red rag ” that we will fall for. It is important to understand what turns you on, the true nature of your aggression and the meaning of such provocations.

In a positive way: the “red rag” model of the bull year is to recognize and use the motivational foundations of your own psyche, which encourage you to be active .

Basis of the year:

the desire for a material, earthly life, accumulation of finances and ownership of more property - if such an experience is desirable for you. And also - we look more broadly and mean that next year is 2022 - the year of the Tiger, when we will definitely need all this farming.

In 2022, it will be possible to “bullishly” increase your financial level and strengthen your material base, but this requires new ways and approaches to business .

The topic of money and digital technologies is very active, both in the life of any person and for the world as a whole. The topic of digital money and cryptocurrencies may simply become the “queen of the ball.”

For example, 12 years ago (that is, one Jupiterian cycle), at the junction of the previous years of the Rat and the Ox, in January 2009 the first block and the first 50 bitcoins were generated. It is logical to assume that right now cryptocurrencies are entering a new bullish turn of their upward spiral...

But, the requirements of the year are that all your acquisitions must correspond to the program of your Spirit and respond to your personal inner values. Nothing superfluous, nothing “like everyone else” (don’t herd)…

In its lowest passive aspect, the meaning of the bull symbol can mean sacrifice and submission to fate, dull work that does not allow you to develop . Here you can insert the proverb “What is allowed to Jupiter is not allowed to the Ox,” reminiscent of inequality - essential or social.

Therefore, try to ensure that your work and your activity of this period take you out of the rat race, but do not turn into movement with a yoke in a circle. How will you do it - with physical hard work, or brains, or “intention is enough”?

Spiritual meaning of the year:

the entire last year of the Rat, with its restrictions, cleansing, and trials, saved us from old habits and prepared us for a new download , for the energies of the year of the Ox.

If you were able to in 2022:

survive, and possibly get healthier;
become more mature (serious, patient and responsible);
do not harden your heart and keep Love in yourself,
find your current goals and true values,

- then 2022 brings new opportunities for implementation to the already configured programs of your life. You will receive energy and information in order to live this year in abundance, fun and originality, gaining your earthly human experience.

Be prepared for the unexpected , and also - share your successes with friends .
Agree to sacrifice something of your own - voluntarily, invest part of your energy in this world, then the “white tithe” will not turn into a “black tithe”.
Remain Human , that is, head and Mind above your animal nature.
Be attentive to what “rat tails” from 2020 are trailing behind you and deal with them :

If you still have a question - what unites the signs of Taurus (the figurative symbol of the Bull) and Jupiter in Aquarius (the astrological position of the year of the Bull in the eastern Jupiterian calendar)?

Probably, both Taurus and Aquarius are channels between the causal and buddhial bodies of a person (Taurus is descending, and Aquarius is ascending). But this is no longer a topic for a popular article, just a hint for those who understand what we’re talking about...

Talisman according to horoscope

Do you know how a talisman differs from an amulet? The amulet simply protects against the evil eye and promotes good luck. The talisman is directly related to your personality, therefore it is able to activate the strengths of your personality and minimize your shortcomings. That is why it must be charged with your energy, and this requires a certain ritual.

Wrap the talisman in a cloth and place it in a hidden place. Let it stay there for a week, but every day, preferably at the same hour, be sure to pick it up for five minutes. After completing the ritual, you can wear the talisman on yourself or put it in a bag, wrapped in a cloth of any color except black.

In particularly emotional moments - anxiety, choice or doubt - try to lightly touch your talisman and ask for help.

Now let’s figure out which talisman is most suitable for each representative of the zodiac circle. Please note: each talisman helps answer a particular question or solve a specific problem.

Aries talisman - gold

Gold represents knowledge and perfection. It suits Aries perfectly, the first of the fire signs. In Ancient Egypt, gold symbolized longevity; among the Aztecs, it signified the return of spring.

In China, it was used to prepare a drink that brings immortality.

The golden talisman allows its owner to concentrate physical and mental strength, helps to cope with the obligations that he has assumed.

In difficult times, you should touch a golden intercessor with your hand, be it a nugget, an ingot, a ring, a pendant or a coin. It will bring you happiness and allow you to find a way out of any difficult situation.

Do you have a problem that you can't solve? Then do the following. To begin, stretch out comfortably on your bed or sofa. Place the talisman between your eyebrows, then formulate a question.

Continue lying down until you feel completely relaxed and calm.

Soon (within a few hours, or maybe days) you will receive clarification on how to solve your problem.

The ancients believed that the elephant protected from the machinations of ill-wishers and bestowed wisdom. In India it is called Ganesha and symbolizes the mind.

The eared giant strengthens the position of its owner in society, contributes to the accumulation of wealth, and helps to conduct business judiciously and intelligently. Touch it and all your dreams will come true.

It will be easier for you to make an important decision. And if you get angry, your reasonable friend will immediately calm you down.

A talisman can be a plush toy, or a figurine made of bronze, stone or wood - just not ivory. Are you waiting for favorable changes? Make a wish on the new moon.

One on one, in complete silence, whisper your request into the elephant’s ear. Then leave it overnight in the place where you made your wish. The next day, put the talisman in its usual place.

Perform a similar ritual on the eve of any negotiations, important meetings, competitions or exams.

Gemini talisman - key

They can open all the doors in the world. At the same time, it helps to withstand the onslaught of overly intrusive people and quenches physical and mental pain. It was not in vain that in the old days the key was applied to the wound, after heating it. Carry your talisman in your bag or right pocket. When in difficulty, take it in your right hand. He will help you win.

If you think you are out of shape, rub the key between your palms until you feel warm. Do you want to know if your chosen one loves you? Mark one side of the key with a pencil and before going to bed, hang it on a string above a photo of your loved one or above a note with his name. In the morning, take a look at the talisman. If the key is turned, the answer is yes.

If you remain in the same position, alas, the answer is negative.

The moon brings inspiration, love, family well-being. A symbol of femininity, it sharpens the senses. Carry a silver crescent-shaped pendant with you if you want to protect your loved ones and children. A round pendant made of the same metal or a coin symbolizing the cheerful moon - to make reliable friends.

Are you waiting for news from someone you lost track of? On Friday before going to bed, place the talisman under your pillow. Count from this moment as many days as there are letters in the name of the person you are interested in. On the eve of the last day you will hear from him.

This does not mean at all that you will definitely meet; the one dear to your heart may appear in your night dreams.

Leo's mascot is a star

She represents order and movement towards success. The Incas considered the stars to be servants of the sun. The star guides your destiny and allows you to anticipate the future using intuition. Before you decide to take a responsible step, ask for advice from a talisman, which can be any transparent stone, a piece of amber or a crystal bead. Want an answer to a burning question?

Take out your star as soon as it gets dark. Take three pieces of paper. Write “yes” on one, “no” on the second, “maybe” on the third. Turn over and mix the papers. Then place them on the table with the lettering facing down. Close your eyes and throw your talisman. The answer to the question is the inscription on the piece of paper to which the star was closest.

A faithful companion of the goddess Athena, this bird symbolizes wisdom and constancy. It was believed that whoever saw her flight at nightfall would receive good news. If something is bothering you, wait until the sun sets and squeeze a clay image of an owl or a feather of this bird in your palm - and the situation will soon clear up.

To find out about the true feelings of your loved one, take 3 cards: the Ace of Hearts, the Seven of Hearts and the Seven of Spades. Mix them. Touch your talisman and say: “Owl, light up my heart as the moon lights up your nights.” Shuffle the cards and draw the first one you come across. The seven of spades means hostility. Seven of Hearts - indifference.

Ace of Hearts - strong feelings.

This talisman symbolizes vitality, the desire for knowledge and success in revealing all kinds of secrets. The Egyptian god Ptah comprehended the Universe with his heart. The heart will tell you a way out of any, even the most confusing situation. Wear it as a pendant or brooch.

The material from which your talisman will be made does not matter. Are you worried about the departure of a loved one? If a relative or friend goes on a trip, let him touch your heart. On the day of departure, place the talisman in his hand and cover it with your palm for a couple of minutes.

Now your “client” is not threatened by any troubles on the road.

The ancient Egyptians considered this amphibian a symbol of intelligence, fertility and renewal. Nicknamed Ekata, she patronized pregnant women. Touch the talisman (the figurine should be made of malachite or green glass) at a moment of danger or at a moment when you are overcome by serious passions: the frog will easily cope with the flames of feelings.

Would you like to clarify a difficult situation? Wet your hand and sprinkle a few drops on your frog's head. Place her anywhere and ask her for protection, not forgetting to say your name. If in the next seven days you dream of a green intercessor, it means that all your problems will be solved by themselves. Don't forget to thank the frog when he helps you.

Sagittarius talisman - scarab

Tirelessly making its way from east to west, the scarab rolls a lump of dry grass with eggs in front of it with its front paws. Called Khepri by the Egyptians, it symbolizes resurrection and the birth of new life. The inhabitants of the Nile Valley made scarab figurines from jasper. This is an emblem of fidelity and longevity. Such a talisman will give you confidence in your abilities.

In case of a quarrel, it will facilitate reconciliation. You should remember that the scarab will not solve your problems for you, but it will not leave you without help. Are you planning a new business? Place a scarab in front of you and ask it to help you overcome difficulties. It is useless to order a hardworking beetle to lead you to victory; only you yourself can achieve what you want.

But he will certainly help you - if your aspirations are clearly defined.

Who is the Ox totem suitable for?

If you like this animal and you feel emotional closeness to its image, character.

If you have something bullish in your family code, for example you are Bykov, Teletsky, etc.

If you were born:

Ukrainian bik, bulg. bik, Russian-tslav. bull, Serbohorv. bik, slovenian bìk, Czech. býk, old býkati, búkati “moo”, Polish, V. Luzh., N. Luzh. byk. Related to ltsh. bucêt, -ēju “to sound, hum”, lit. bukti “moo”, bukas “bittern”, kimr. bugad “mugitus” (M. – E. 1, 344). Another level of vowel alternation is represented in bukat “clap”, Slovenian. búkati "moo"; see also Bernecker 1, 112; Mi. EW 27; Meie, MSL 14, 362. Serbohorv. bak “bull”, which Bernecker (ibid.) explains from *бкъ, apparently, borrowed. from Dalm. bu̯ák “bull” from Lat. vacca "cow"; Wed Vasmer, RS 4, 169; Bartoli, Dalm. 2, 172, 381. It is less correct to build Russian. word for Turk. buka “bull”, contrary to Kort (AfslPh 9, 493; Western RGO Ethnogr. 34, 537 et seq.) and Scheldt (Lw. St. 17). Against, see Mladenov (“Slavia” 10, 251), Brückner (53 et seq.). Shakhmatov’s hypothesis (AfslPh 33, 87 et seq.) about borrowings is phonetically erroneous. from celt. boukkô - "cow"; see Vasmer, RS 6, 191.
