Zodiac sign - Capricorn, year - fire monkey.
You can calculate the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, other planets, Lunar nodes, the ascendant and the entire natal chart of the child.

And say in general terms what the child’s character will be. But this is only a small, superficial part of the analysis of the essence of character. It is also necessary to take into account the influence of parents, who largely unconsciously and consciously change the child’s character. It is from the parents that the child removes most of the patterns of behavior and relationships, at an early age he copies unconscious stereotypes and takes the energy of the parents for development.

And even if a thorough analysis is carried out, not astrologically, but through a direct analysis of the subtle plans and structure of the soul, to determine the child’s life task (what needs to be developed, supported and implemented) - the issue of choosing the right name and assessing the effectiveness of the name’s influence still remains adequately unresolved.

On the first day of the year, the church celebrates the memory of St. Elijah of Pechersk, nicknamed Chobotok. Ilya was a native of the city of Murom, and popular legend identified him with the famous hero Ilya Muromets, about whom Russian epics told.

The Savior was born during the reign of Emperor Augustus in the city of Bethlehem. During the census, everyone had to be in the place where his family originated. Arriving in Bethlehem, the Virgin Mary and the Righteous Joseph did not find any vacancies in hotels and stopped outside the city in a cave intended for keeping livestock. At midnight, the news of the birth of the Savior from the jubilant Angels came to the shepherds, who came to worship the God-Man. The holiday in honor of this event was established in apostolic times, but before the 4th century. it was connected with the celebration of Epiphany.

Having learned from the Magi about the birth of a new King, Herod ordered the killing of all babies under two years of age, hoping that among them would be the Infant of God, in whom he saw his rival.

On this day, according to the Old Testament law, the Lord accepted circumcision, established for all male infants as a sign of the Covenant of God with the forefather Abraham and his descendants.

On the same day, the memory of the Archbishop of Caesarea of ​​Cappadocia is celebrated.

Vasily lived in the 4th century and received an excellent education in Constantinople and Athens. Returning to Caesarea, he taught rhetoric, then was baptized and embarked on the path of ascetic life. Together with his friend Gregory the Theologian, he retired to the desert to devote his life to God. Subsequently, the saint was ordained a presbyter; during the reign of Emperor Valens, a supporter of the Arians, he became an archbishop and made great efforts to protect his flock from heresy. He compiled the rite of the Liturgy, wrote Conversations on the Sixth Day, on the Psalms, as well as a collection of monastic rules.

January 15 is the day of the repose (1883) and the second discovery of the relics (1991) of one of the most beloved Russian saints among the people -. Having taken monastic vows at the age of 27, the monk labored in the Sarov monastery or in the forest desert until the end of his life. For his feat of prayer, he was honored with repeated visits from the Queen of Heaven. The Monk Seraphim went to the Lord during prayer in front of the icon of the Mother of God. The monk was canonized as a saint in 1903. After the October Revolution, the saint’s relics disappeared and were discovered only in 1991, in the storerooms of the Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism, which was located in the building of the Kazan Cathedral in Leningrad.

January 17 – Council of 70 apostles of Christ, chosen by the Lord to preach the Gospel to the whole universe.

These apostles are commemorated separately throughout the year, and this holiday was established in order to show the equality of each of the seventy and thereby prevent disagreements in their veneration.

January 19 is celebrated - the twelfth holiday established in honor of the Baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ in the waters of the Jordan River and in honor of the appearance of the Holy Trinity during this event. The Father spoke from heaven about the Son, the Son was baptized by the holy Forerunner of the Lord John, and the Holy Spirit descended on the Son in the form of a dove. The next day, the Council of the Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord John is celebrated - the one who served the cause of the Baptism of Christ, laying his hand on the head of the Savior.

On January 24, we remember St. Theodosius the Great, who became the founder of cenobitic monasteries. He was born at the end of the 5th century. in Cappadocia. The saint lived for about 30 years in the Palestinian desert, remaining in fasting and prayer. Those who wanted to live under his leadership constantly came to him; as a result, a communal monastery, or Lavra, arose, which existed according to the charter of Basil the Great.

The memory of the holy martyr Tatiana is celebrated on January 25. Tatiana, the daughter of the Roman consul, refused marriage, wanting to devote her life to the Lord. She was installed as a deaconess in one of the Roman temples and served God, caring for the sick and helping those in need. During the reign of Emperor Alexander Severus (between 222 and 235), Tatiana accepted martyrdom for Christ, refusing to sacrifice to the pagan gods and enduring terrible torture.

On January 27, the church remembers the enlightener of Georgia. She was born around 280 in Cappadocia into a noble, pious family. One day Nina saw in a dream the Most Holy Theotokos, who handed her a cross from grapevine and sent with apostolic ministry to Iveria (Georgia). Nina came to Georgia in 319 and made a lot of efforts to educate this country - five years later Christianity was established in Georgia.

January 30 is the day of remembrance of the famous ascetic, founder of desert living, called the father of monasticism. Anthony was born in Egypt in 251. After the death of his parents, who instilled in him love for God and piety, he began an ascetic life. He had to fight with the most difficult temptations and attacks of evil spirits, but with God's help he overcame the tricks of the devil and went into the depths of the Thebaid desert to serve the Lord in complete solitude. The saint spent 85 years in desert solitude; his example was followed by many of those who wanted to spend their lives in ascetic deeds for the sake of the Lord.

It is important to note that on January 13, name days are celebrated only for those who received male names Mikhail and Peter. With the same names, following the ancient Orthodox tradition When naming children, you need to name boys born today.

Since the calendar does not contain female names for this day, for girls born on this date, it is necessary to select the names of those patron saints whom the Church venerates on the eighth day after their birth, as was done in the old days.

If presented for a given day female names If you don’t like it, you can move the name day to the fortieth day after birth, when, as required by the Orthodox canon, the child is supposed to be baptized.

The main birthday people today are Mikhail, since it is on January 13 that the Church honors their Guardian Angel, the sacred martyr Father Mikhail (Berezin).

Under his patronage are everyone who is now celebrating their name day. If a newborn boy is given the name Mikhail, then he will receive from his protector not only protection, but also enormous strength, as well as the best features inherent in the name.

When to celebrate a name day and how to name a child correctly, the calendar and the Orthodox holiday calendar for 2019 will tell you. The latter also contains a list of the names of the holy new martyrs, so the list of birthday people in it is more extensive.

Mikhail came from a clergy family. Having decided to follow in the footsteps of his father, he went to study at a theological seminary, where he studied for only a year, and then voluntarily left.

He preferred service in the church to teaching in the classroom, where he went from being a psalm-reader to being ordained to the priesthood. Since there were many Mari among his parishioners, in order to reach their hearts, he learned their language.

Father Mikhail devoted a lot of time to self-education, read a huge amount of religious literature, so he could answer any question from his parishioners, and sincerely tried to help everyone.

He was respected by those around him for his wisdom, kindness and dedication. The enormous authority of Father Mikhail among the population aroused fears among representatives of the Soviet government.
