Getting married is one of the most important events in a person's life. Therefore, on this day, the newlyweds try to foresee everything to the smallest detail. For a long time, it has been believed that the wedding ceremony is something mystical and is surrounded by countless rituals and omens. One of them is the belief that you cannot marry in a leap year.
What is special about a leap year?
A leap year differs from the usual only in that it lasts not 365, but 366 days, due to the fact that a date such as February 29 appears in the calendar. This day appeared thanks to Julius Caesar, who decreed that every four years it is necessary to add an additional day in which the lost hours were invested, namely for a year - 5 hours 48 minutes and 46 seconds. These hours are added to February, since February was the last month of the year in ancient Rome.
Since ancient times, it was believed that in a leap year a girl can propose to any guy, and her chosen one has no right to refuse. This custom still exists in Ireland. The trouble is that the next year was considered the year of widows, which, in turn, was followed by the year of widowers. Historians argue that these beliefs are associated with the times of wars, which have been entrenched in the minds of people for a long time.
Why not get married on a leap year?
On this occasion, there are several signs. Leap year is called the year of Kasyan. The image of Kasyan is associated with everything demonic, both in appearance and behavior. For his evil deeds, he is punished - for three years in a row an angel hits him on the forehead with a hammer, and in the fourth year he rests. It is this year that is considered a leap year, and Kasyan can again do his evil deeds. Including destroying newly-made families.
Therefore, according to leap years, nothing can be changed, including marital status. This bodes well for big trouble. It is believed that more deaths occur in leap years. A marriage made in such a “bad” year will not be successful. There is also a sign that newlyweds, whose marriage was concluded in a leap year, cheat on each other.
Another sign against a wedding in a leap year says that one of the spouses will definitely become a widow.
From the point of view of astrology, the position of the Earth relative to other planets and celestial bodies changes every four years. Because of this, the homeostatic field of the Earth is disturbed, which negatively affects susceptible people, disrupting brain activity, making them more aggressive.
The consequence of such changes will be endless quarrels between spouses.
If you nevertheless got married in a leap year, and it did not work out right away, know that you cannot divorce in such a year - there will be no happiness in your personal life. Therefore, it is worth tolerating the unloved person until next year, perhaps with the end of the year everything will be fine.
And yet the decision to marry in a leap year or not is yours alone. Therefore, before making a serious decision, first weigh the pros and cons.
