Old Slavonic horoscope by date of birth is a totemic horoscope of pagan origin. Recently, it has been gaining popularity in the post-Soviet space, since the ancestral beliefs of the Slavic peoples are closer than the well-established eastern traditions.
Origin
The ancient Slavs were pagans - polytheism reigned among them, and they believed in the forces of nature. Each god reigned for one month. And so the old Slavonic horoscope was born by the date of birth. Twelve signs - twelve forces, for every month of the year.
It was believed that when born under any sign, a person received a patron for himself for life. We bring to your attention the Old Slavonic horoscope (totem) for months.
Stribog (god of the wind) and Roof
Stribog ruled from January 21 to February 20. Despite the claim that the Slavs revered all their gods equally, it is known that some of their celestials still had a greater influence. The god of the wind is just one of those.
The patronage of Stribog gives those born during this period a certain religiosity and a tendency to mysticism. However, they are not subject to outside influence - they themselves reach their beliefs, since they prefer to think and philosophize a lot. And the exceptional ability to stand his ground often annoys others, although Stribog’s people will never go down to impose their opinions on someone.
Such people have a very developed ambition and ambition, they often have a quick temper and therefore it is not easy to make friends, but very simply enemies.
Another patron of those born in the period closer to February is the Roof, which saved the freezing from death. He gives his children an extraordinary mind and the ability to think soberly.
Kind
Those who were born somewhere between February 21 and March 20, have among their patrons the great Sort - the creator of the Universe, according to the Slavs. Such people tend to rely on their developed intuition and rarely make mistakes.
As a rule, these are wise and fair rulers who are characterized by prudence and warm calm. From birth, they have insight and become excellent psychologists, even if they make a career in a completely different field.
Yarilo
The sun god Yarilo rules from March 21 to April 20. And its "sunshine" is manifested in all people of this sign - they are kind and optimistic, they sow only joy and happiness around themselves. Their communication skills are not surprising. Yarila’s children have many friends - not just useful acquaintances, but sincere and real. Such people themselves know how to truly be friends; they will never, for anything, stoop to betrayal.
Living, tireless energy whips from them, endows with talents and love for everything new. These spring people often turn out to be pioneers in many ways.
Lada (Lelya)
The female incarnation of the Genus - Lada - is supportive of everyone, but in particular she takes care of her children born from April 21 to May 21.
She is a real mother - harmonious and warm, establishing a homely atmosphere on the whole earth in the beautiful month of May. And her children are the same - standing firmly on their feet, capable, disposing to themselves.
But another patroness of the May people is Lelia, much more controversial, in fact, even the most controversial of all deities. She gives her children beauty, brightness, courage and deep personal happiness.
Letnitsa
Summer, sunny, people who were born between May 21 and June 22 are extremely active. Letnitsa does not let them sit still, gives them the ability to speak beautifully, quickly change their minds and very often fall in love.
But do not think that people of this sign are frivolous and you can’t rely on them - on the contrary, they always appear exactly when it is needed, come to the rescue and leave, without saying goodbye, fulfilling their mission.
Veles
The ambiguous deity - Veles - in the beliefs of the Slavs was, on the one hand, a creature hailing from the underworld, and on the other, the patron saint of cattle breeding. His time begins on June 22 and lasts until July 22.
Luxury and wealth do not leave people of this sign their whole life. They are talented, smart and romantic. But the dark side of Veles is manifested in the fact that their beautiful souls easily destroy bad habits and a tendency to various kinds of addictions - alcohol, gambling, etc.
Veles people are often inclined to withdraw into themselves in case of problems - to flee from the fire. However, sometimes it is in this that they find their salvation.
Dazhdbog (Vyshen)
From July 23 to August 23, it is the turn of Dazhdbog to join his reign. People of this sign dominate the world as their patron deity does. Their pride knows no bounds - the lack of admiration surprises them, and they take universal love for granted.
But the children of Dazhdbog are not characterized by arrogance - on the contrary, they adequately evaluate themselves, know how smart and talented they are. Their inner fire is very difficult to extinguish, as well as breaking their pride. But they will not tolerate infringement of their honor even from friends.
People born in this period, true kings - majestic and generous, leaders by nature, succeeding in everything they undertake.
Rozhanitsy
The women in labor - the companions of the deity of the Sort - patronize those who were destined to be born from August 23 to September 23. Their children are quiet, calm and modest. Secretive personalities, but very responsible and hardworking. They are devoted monogamous people.
People of this sign surrender completely to their work, but prefer not to join the team, but to stay away.
Morena (Mora, Morana, Mara)
October (from September 23 to October 22) is the reign of Morena, the dark goddess, mistress of death itself. Her children are contradictory, proud and jealous. Their complex nature sometimes torments not only those around them, but also themselves. They rush about in life, unable to understand their desires.
On the other hand, those who are patronized by the great Mora are very motivated, they do not know what the word "surrender" means, these are strong and strong-willed individuals.
In people of this sign you can often see a certain demonic side, their appearance is attractive with something forbidden. They are well aware of this peculiarity - they get along with darkness, moreover, they know how to get what they want in those ways that are inaccessible to anyone else, acquiring everything from nothing.
Semargl
The mighty warrior with a fire sword rules from October 22 to November 23 and is the protector of people who were born in these numbers. He gives his wards a strong spirit and will that cannot be broken.
Semargl majestically protects from evil - he is alien to short temper and vanity. Also, people of this sign protect their loved ones, always knowing exactly what needs to be done and doing infinitely correctly.
This sign is characterized by love for the hearth - a tired warrior always returns to where they are waiting. Usually the people of Semargl start a large and strong family, the most important of which is nothing for them.
Vyrgon
The wayward Vyrgon takes over on November 23 and rules until December 21. Her children never recognize authority in anyone. They always have a creative message, well-developed imagination and fantasy. They themselves know how difficult everything is given in life, therefore they will always look for material well-being, although they will not make it the meaning of their whole life. Comfort is very important for them.
In addition, the people of Vyrgoni are very proud.
Perun
From December 21 to January 20, Perun, a thunder god who gives his wards courage, power and independence, receives special strength. People of this sign are free from the opinions of others - they know exactly who they are and who they want to be, as well as how to achieve this.
They are often lonely for a long time, because they seem too self-sufficient to look for someone, but in fact the children of Perun want to know love, give it and accept it.
Other horoscopes
In addition to the described, there is also the Old Slavonic animal horoscope, in which every month it is associated with its animal. This technique is similar to the usual eastern horoscopes, but animals are more suitable for the Russian terrain - Bear, Beaver, Ant, etc.
There is also an Old Slavonic horoscope by years. But with all the differences, they have one thing in common, which is hard not to notice. The Old Slavonic horoscope by date of birth is very similar to the zodiac signs. The characteristics of people born in a given month are the same. Frivolous cheerful Gemini and sunny, restless children of Lelia, passionate, demonic, Scorpio and dark Mara (Morena) - have in common.
So the Old Slavonic horoscope by year of birth has much in common with the eastern. But this does not cancel the opinion of how sometimes it is interesting to read what our ancestors thought, what they believed in and whom they respected. It is wonderful that all this, once recorded on a piece of birch bark, came to us. Let and not quite in its original form.
