the signs as russian words
Aries: Bespredel - translates to "without limits or boundaries”, the chaotic behaviour of a person who violates not only the law, but also moral and social norms.
Taurus: Poshlost - something that is simultaneously trivial, vulgar, lewd and soulless.
Gemini: Smekalka - one of the typical features of the “mysterious Russian soul”: it’s not just being savvy, ingenious or inventive - it’s the skill to solve problems quickly and simply in imaginative ways.
Cancer: Stushevatsya - means to become less noticeable, go to the background, lose an important role, noticeably leave the scene, become confused in an awkward or unexpected situation, become meek.
Leo: Podvig - translates to “achievement”, not just a result, or the achievement of an objective; it’s a brave and heroic act, an action performed in difficult circumstances.
Virgo: Bytie - translates to “being”, and hints at hyper-consciousness or an objective and analytical mindset.
Libra: Avos - believed to be the main Russian national trait, it is contrary to “The American Dream”. Hoping for the avos’ means doing something without planning, without putting in much effort, counting on success.
Scorpio: Nadryv - an uncontrollable emotional outburst, when a person releases intimate, deeply hidden feelings.
Sagittarius: Nedoperepil - “under-over-drunk”, having drunk more than you should have, but less than you could have.
Capricorn: Khamstvo - Rudeness, arrogance and insolence, multiplied by impunity.
Aquarius: Perepodvypodvert - doing something in an overly complex, incomprehensible way.
Pisces: Toska - an ache of the soul, longing with nothing to long for.
