What can not be done in a leap year?

Among people, there is an opinion that a leap year is special and imposes many restrictions on certain actions and actions. It is generally accepted that at such a time a person should be more careful and attentive. In this article, we learn what is not recommended to be done in a leap year.

For the first time the concept of a leap year appeared during the reign of Julius Caesar. He developed a new type of calendar in which another day was added to the shortest month. Due to this simple change, Caesar was able to get rid of inaccuracies in time calculations. True, the Romans immediately began to believe that such a year was unsuccessful.

For Christians, February 29 is considered the day of St. Kasyan, who became famous for his heavy character. On this day, there was a superstition among people that they should not leave the house on the street. This was due to the fact that outside the walls of the home a person runs the risk of being exposed to the negative energy of the sun, which can adversely affect the future. In former times, on this day, they tried not to even touch sharp objects, not to pick them up, since there was a belief that such actions could protect against misfortunes. Thanks to so many superstitions, leap year pretty quickly began to scare people. He was considered a period of misfortune and serious disaster. Oddly enough, starting from statistics, global catastrophes really most often occur precisely in a leap year.

Despite the rapid passage of time and constantly evolving new technologies, many of today's people still fiercely believe in the danger of the year with the “extra day of February.”

A leap year scares many, because it has a sufficient number of minuses, the lion's share of which worries a person and makes you think bad. Let us examine a few basic shortcomings that are attributed to this period.

• It is believed that at this time you can not get married. Upon giving St. Kasyan, such a year should not begin with particularly important, fateful affairs, to which it is quite possible to attribute a wedding celebration. There is a belief that people who married at such a time will either not be faithful to each other, or that the wife will quickly remain a widow. It happens that young people learn about these superstitions after painting in a leap year. If the newlyweds really believe in this, you cannot immediately run away and file for divorce. In a leap year, this event will have to be postponed until another time - we will talk about this in more detail below.
• Serious disadvantages include the fact that construction work cannot be started in this period. We are talking not only about a private house, but also about a bathhouse and any other building. Even pouring the foundation is not recommended. According to legend, all fresh buildings will subsequently burn. The same applies to the repair work.
• In a leap year, people who believe in the danger of such a time should tell others less about their plans. It is in the year of long February that any undertakings can easily be jinxed.
• If a person planned to give the pet in good hands for one reason or another, this is not recommended in a leap year. There is a belief that in this way from his home, together with the animal, he gives his own luck.
• No need to start doing business during this period. Superstitious novice businessmen are forced to put off their plans (often ambitious) so as not to tempt fate.
• It is also not necessary to change the place of work in a leap year, because in any case a person will not be able to hold out for a long time, and even colleagues may have problems. This is a significant minus for those superstitious people who have long dreamed of changing jobs.
• In the year of Kasyan, it was not allowed to change his hairstyle or even just dye his hair.

Based on the above prohibitions (by no means all in a leap year), we can conclude that the main disadvantage of this period is that people have to postpone their plans for a while. This is an extra waste of time, which often spoils the mood, makes you exercise tolerance and restraint. Of course, this applies only to those who truly believe in all the signs and warnings of a leap year. Despite the impressive list of minuses, in a leap year you can identify your pluses, which many people do not notice at first glance.

• It is during this period that many people try to behave as calmly as possible, once again they do not risk and do not endanger themselves. Moreover, some are so cautious that even on February 29 they do not leave their homes, as people did in the distant past.
• Many astrologers claim that inspiration can often come to a person in a leap year. Often people experience a noticeable surge of strength, energy. Often it is possible to achieve success in creativity or work.

A leap year imposes many bans on people. Above, we have already considered some actions that are better not to commit during this period. Let us consider in more detail what this may entail and what is better to avoid in a year with a long February. Especially dangerous leap year is considered for the stronger sex. We must try to protect our men from dangers to the maximum and protect them. It is advisable to pay more attention to men's health. If you believe the signs, a strong half of the population in the period under review should not go on various trips, since some serious misfortune can occur there.

Many couples in love ask a reasonable question: is it possible to make an offer and get married in a leap year? It is believed that such plans should be postponed until another time. In a family created in a leap year, strife will prevail. High probability of betrayal. Newlyweds will often quarrel and seriously conflict, gradually overflowing with hostility, irritation, and mistrust. Ultimately, such an alliance will soon disintegrate, as people simply cannot sustain each other.

Long-term observations of experts on those couples who nevertheless decided to marry in a leap year, lead to the conclusion that such marriages still break up a little more often. But it often happens that a couple has been dating for a long time, and when planning a wedding it just so happened that she fell for such a year. In this case, do not be scared. Some signs should help - they will help preserve the union.

Do not forget that There are many couples who have married in a leap year and have not experienced serious relationship problems. If between the young people there was initially a tense relationship and misunderstanding, then it makes no sense to blame Kasyan for everything. It is believed that it is better not to file an application for divorce this year. There is a belief that it is impossible to get divorced in this period, since this promises loneliness to former spouses.

Many people believe that in a leap year you can not only marry, but also give birth to children, become pregnant. An opinion about this has been around since pagan times. Although it is believed that the birth of children still does not entail any troubles and misfortunes. In ancient times, it was believed that pregnancy and the birth of a child in a leap year can bring a lot of problems to both the baby and his mother. They were susceptible to serious illnesses, dangers and other troubles.

Besides, some people are still convinced that children born in the year of Kasyan will live a difficult life filled with trials. As practice shows, in fact, these errors do not justify themselves. Many children who were born in a leap year grow up healthy and happy, get a good education, build a happy family / personal life, so you should not frighten yourself with unnecessary fears. People also believe that babies should not be baptized in a leap year. This is actually not the case. The church does not at all take into account any of the existing prohibitions.

In a leap year, traditions are not advised to build. This may result in the construction being delayed for a long time or an accident. However, these beliefs have come down to us since pagan times. If you believe in prejudice, then it is undesirable to move, buy new housing, sell an apartment and even make ordinary repairs. There are no concrete justifications for this. If you do not believe in such beliefs, just act sequentially, be careful during transactions, try not to save on materials and, of course, follow safety precautions in everything.

Search and get a new job also should not be, if you listen to the beliefs of a leap year. It is believed that in a new place a person will either not last long, or will be deceived, or other workers will plot against him. Along with a job change, it is not recommended to engage in your own business. Any undertakings at such a time should be postponed until later, as they are doomed to collapse.Of course, if you do not believe in all these prejudices and you are offered an excellent official position, you should not refuse it, because there are really no clear and reliable evidence for such signs.

There is another controversial ban on the sale of jewelry. Large transactions where you are a seller, it is advisable to postpone until next year. This refers not only to real estate, but also to motor vehicles. Popular wisdom says that rushing into such transactions is very risky - in the future you can seriously regret it. Well, common sense should be everywhere and in everything: too much haste can really do much harm to such matters (both with regard to the car and living space).

Many summer residents are surprised by the fact that in a leap year you can’t sow or plant anything. It is unlikely that a large number of gardeners are listening to this strange ban. It is possible to “get around" it if you follow the lunar calendar and the weather forecast, so there is no need to be scared. Many owners of their summer cottages continue to plant their favorite crops, not paying attention to any extraneous factors, and get a rich harvest, especially if they take care of the plantings correctly.

In the year of Kasyan, it is not allowed to go to the forest and pick mushrooms, various herbs or berries there. This ban is most relevant on the day of Ivan Kupala. This prohibition can also be circumvented. Having entered the forest, a person should say: “Leap year, keep yourself the bad, but let me take the expensive. Amen". Although many superstitious mushroom pickers prefer to abandon the natural products listed in this ban for one year, for fear of harming their health.

Our ancestors considered a bad omen a wedding held in a leap year. People have long argued that to decide on this sacrament in a year with a long February, only those couples who are not afraid to face serious problems in their future family life can decide. It is believed that the married husband and wife will be a lot of scandals, cursing, betraying each other and even beating. The church itself is more than skeptical of such superstitions. A wedding ceremony in a leap year is not prohibited, along with the baptism of babies. The church says that relations in the family depend only on the spouses themselves, and not on some numbers and will accept. If you are too superstitious and still afraid to get married in a leap year, then it makes sense to transfer this important event to "later". There is nothing terrible or dangerous in this - you will simply feel calmer, more confident. Previously, you can talk with the ministers of the church who will help make the right choice of the date of the wedding.

In a leap year it is also not recommended to radically change your image. Problems run the risk of almost any stage associated with new changes. For example, fresh dyeing can adversely affect the health of the hair, and beauty operations can seriously disappoint the girls with not the best results, which in the future will have to be fought in a separate manner.

A leap year brings with it a lot of different signs in which many people believe and listen to them. Consider the main good and bad signs.

A leap year is literally “replete” with bad signs in which many people believe and do not expect anything good from them. We decompose them “on the shelves” by selecting the main points.

• In a leap year, it is not recommended to make repairs - this is a bad sign. For example, if you stick the wallpaper, in the future they can begin to become covered with bubbles or peel off the walls. If it is paint, it will begin to crack and crumble.
• According to ancient beliefs, celebrating an anniversary in a leap year is also a bad omen.Perhaps it is due to a ban on the celebration of the 40th anniversary.
• In the year under review, it is not allowed to cook clothes for death for yourself or your loved ones - this is a bad omen, and death can actually occur much earlier.
• A bad sign is dogs barking, you need to be careful. If you heard this, then you need to say: “The whole family is with me (and then list the names of family members). Amen."
• A bad sign in the year of long February is the case in which a person picks up any round objects from the ground. Such an event threatens trouble.
• If the girl’s period began for the first time in a leap year, it is forbidden to declare this to any female (meaning friends, sisters, and grandmothers), otherwise they may “steal female happiness”. Mom refers to the exceptions, you can share this news with her.
• A pregnant woman does not need to cut her hair until delivery. It is believed that in this way the mother shortens the life of the unborn child.
• If the child was born on February 29, it is better to put a different date in his birth documents, namely on February 28 or March 1.
• A leap year is a period in which caroling is not allowed (and at the same time it is undesirable to wear kutya) - this is a bad omen.

These are some of the most serious and well-known bad omens that are relevant during the leap year. To listen to them or not - each person decides for himself. There is no exact evidence that all of these events really entail misfortunes.

There are also good signs that are due to the considered period of time. People do not know about many of them, paying more attention to the negative qualities of Kasyan’s Godin. Let us examine in more detail what the main good signs take place during the “formidable” leap year.

• No matter how strange it may sound, going to jail in a leap year is not as scary as in a normal year. The longest time to return home is with the end of the year. Even an inveterate criminal can be acquitted or shortened, or released under an amnesty. To do this, relatives will need to attend church and put candles there, pray in front of the icons for health.
• To be under the first rain of the year is a good sign that promises a person good profit, success in business. True, it is possible to get in the rain only by chance, not intentionally.
• A good omen is to see the rainbow, even when the window is not the most favorable calendar period.
• If you have been presented with a round decoration, this is a good sign. It will make a wonderful amulet that will protect you from evil in this difficult (in terms of superstition) time. You can buy such a jewelry yourself, but its effectiveness will be much less than that of the presented option.

According to many psychologists, all the troubles are in the head. It all depends on how we manage to tune ourselves, whether we will begin to think more about good than about bad. If you set yourself up correctly, then you will not have to wait for bad consequences. Moreover, the church believes that all our fears associated with a leap year are ordinary superstitions that we inspire ourselves.

However, among astrologers there are experts who say that negative energy during a leap year is many times stronger. Because of this, people often feel worse overall health and well-being. Each person decides for himself what version he should believe in and which version not. But still it is worth listening to some simple tips, with which you can avoid many predictions.

• To protect yourself well at the energy level, you should burn the page from the calendar on which the date is printed - February 29. At the same time, it is necessary to say the following words: “Evil go away, dashingly disappear, help good, clear path and bright path give me illumination.”Some people do it easier - they cover up this date on the calendar with a pen or felt-tip pen.
• It is recommended that you often wear a cross or a talisman around your neck - each person chooses which solution he or she likes.
• You can attend church more often. It is believed that in this way you can strengthen your own protection.

Remember your own mood. If you sacredly believe that a leap year will turn out to be negative and expect only problems from him, then perhaps it will be so.
