In Azerbaijani folk culture, various traditional horoscopes reflect future predictions and interesting beliefs about people's lives. These horoscopes also provide a sometimes amusing twist on the decisions people face in everyday life.

Knock the door

On the last Wednesday, in the evening, they quietly knock on the door of the neighbors. When approaching the door, they write down the first word or several words they hear and say certain considerations about luck.

Eating salted carrots
Last Tuesday they sleep late. When I went to bed, I had to eat a pre-prepared salted carrot and go to sleep. Do not drink water. Water appears in a night dream (from thirst): someone gives water to drink. Supposedly, that person giving water is the fate of the dreamer.

Young girls gather together on Tuesday. They pour a bowl of water. They remove the rings from their hands and put them in their hair. (The betrothed girl must have a ring) They hold the intention and pass the ring over the water. The ring begins to rotate and hits the walls of the bowl. You count how many times the ring hits the bowl. It means that even at that age you will go.

Last Wednesday night, go to sleep with an intention in your heart. Wake up at midnight and light a candle. Take the candle and approach the mirror. You will see your future fiancé in the mirror. But you don't have to be afraid. If you are afraid, this intention will not come true.

They look at this horoscope on the last Wednesday of the year. Girls can look at this fortune-telling. The girl quietly pours water into the basin without talking to anyone. He takes a big mirror in his hand. He looks at the moon in that mirror. If she sees the picture of the boy she likes, it is in her favor. It means that the new year is successful for him, he realizes his purpose. If the girl talks all this time, the fortune-telling will not be correct.

Eggs and pencils

On the last Wednesday, an egg, two black and red pencils are placed under the tree and a wish is made. In the morning, there is a line on that egg. If a line is drawn with a red pencil, the wish will come true, if it is drawn with a black pencil, it will not come true.

Apple horoscope

On the last Wednesday, they eat an apple, and at night they count the seeds of that apple. You put ten seeds under your pillow, go to sleep and see your fate in your dream.
