People have always associated leap year with misfortunes and failures. The unfortunate extra day of February acts as a stigma, and we automatically attribute all bad events to it. They say that marriages concluded in such years quickly break up and couples go their separate ways. Is this true and where did such superstitions come from? Should you get married during a leap year or is it better to wait until marriage? Let's figure it out.

Origins of superstition

In Rus', leap year was also called the year of Kasyan. They said that two simple men, Nikolai and Kasyan, once walked across a field with Christ himself. And they saw another man plowing the land. Suddenly the man's cart got stuck in the damp arable land and could not budge. Nikolai ran to help, but Kasyan did not budge. For this, Christ gave Nicholas 2 days a year when people will remember him and glorify him, but Kasyan will simply be forgotten. And so it happened. Later, Kasyan began to guard the gates of hell, and was forced to work seven days a week all year round. The only day he broke free was February 29. It is clear that the embittered watchman did whatever he wanted that day. And nothing good could be expected from him.

People who are even a little superstitious will never celebrate a wedding on a leap year. And all because since ancient times it was believed that an extra day in the year could not bring anything good. That's why he's superfluous. And the year itself with such a “appendage” is considered unlucky.

So I thought that this year was from the evil one. This means that everyone who gets married this year will face failure and only troubles. After this, who would dare to submit an application to the registry office?

However, there is another reason to consider a leap year unlucky for marriage.

Many years ago, among our ancestors, the year with a “profitable” day was considered the year of the Brides. Yes! Only this year the bride, and not the groom, could propose a wedding. And the most interesting thing is that the chosen one did not have the right to refuse his bride during this period . And there were weddings that were arranged only for the female half of the family. It is clear that such a family could not initially be happy. Quarrels constantly broke out between such spouses; between the newlyweds there was not only love, but also understanding and respect. At the same time, divorce was not encouraged. So the spouses were forced to endure what was not nice.

On the other hand, one can object - after all, when a man proposed to a woman, she did not always want it either. But marriages lasted a lifetime and were not considered unsuccessful.

Now, it is unlikely that anyone will force someone to get married. Therefore, it is up to the couple themselves to listen to the signs or turn a deaf ear to them.

Signs about a wedding in a leap year

Since in a leap year any guy could be chosen as a husband and not at all by the one he wanted, he had to come up with reasons that would force him to completely abandon the idea of getting married this year. And our ancestors knew a whole list of such signs:

a family that is created in a leap year will be begging all its life;
if you get married, one of the spouses will die within three years after the wedding;
the marriage of everyone who gets married will be short-lived; the spouses will face a mandatory divorce within three years;
those who got married in the year of the Devil may give birth to a child with hooves or horns, or simply a freak;
there will be a demon walking in the family, that is, one of the spouses will constantly cheat;
the house of such a family will be “without an owner” or “without a mistress,” that is, there will be no comfort, warmth in the house, livestock and prosperity in the yard.

Is it possible to avoid the consequences predicted in signs?

Even when the newlyweds themselves do not believe in omens, there will always be people from their inner circle who are sensitive to predictions.

In order to calm them down, and also in order not to leave even a touch of negativity for yourself on this day, you need to know how to avoid everything dark that the signs predict.

some people think that a wedding shouldn’t be held at all this year, because the husband could die and the child would be born with hooves

To do this, they used to do this:

For brides, they recommended a wedding dress that symbolizes a happy and long family life. These are dresses with a long hem (it’s not for nothing that the most classic wedding dress always has a long hem), you can wear a dress with a train, it will be even better. A short dress predicts a short marriage and long celibacy;
In order for the family to always have wealth, the bride can put coins in her shoes. It is believed that coins will attract money and prosperity to the family;
You cannot put a ring on a wedding glove. Even if the glove itself is amazingly beautiful, thin, and wedding-style, this will not save the marriage from imminent disintegration. The glove must be removed, the ring must be put on, and only then the glove must be put on again;
You cannot give away or sell your wedding dress or veil. You can’t even just let a friend or relative wear your dress. By this, the bride, as it were, gives her family happiness and well-being to the one who put it on. Of course, if the dress is rented, it is not the bride’s dress, and she does not give anything of hers with this dress to anyone;
Another very interesting sign is that the tablecloth used to cover wedding tables should also not be given away or thrown away. It needs to be preserved and set on the table every anniversary. It’s difficult to agree with the sign here - after all, most weddings nowadays take place in restaurants
On the night before the wedding, you need to light a candle and wish for a happy family life. While it burns, you can come up with all sorts of desires for family living. If the wishes have already ended, and the candle has not gone out, it must be left (under supervision) so that it burns out;

Signs predicting a happy marriage in a leap year

Despite the numerous bad superstitions, there are also good signs:

the more days in a year, the more children;
the longer the year, the greater the wealth in the family;
A wedding in the year of brides is a “full cup” of life;
A wife in an extra year means an extra pie in her mouth;
A warm stove in the house, since you got married in a big year.

Many signs have not reached our times, but weddings on a leap year were not uncommon.

Will people get married in leap year 2021: the opinion of astrologers

Astrologers consider the Rat to be a housewife, so it is quite a suitable patron for creating a family hearth. She will help increase wealth and take care of healthy and smart heirs. It is best, according to astrologers and numerologists, to schedule a wedding for months and days in which twos or threes are present - these are lucky numbers for the Rat.
And you should also pay attention to the Moon - on this day it should be growing. As, indeed, with eclipses - they are categorically inappropriate on this day.
Returning to the topic of alternating twos and zeros for the wedding date, astrologers recommend choosing this option only for those who are getting married on the basis of smooth, strong friendships. If you are walking down the aisle under a veil of romantic feelings, it is better to choose a different date.
If you have already set a wedding date in February, when twos and zeros are simply “cool,” then in no case should you despair. Just seek help from the water element, which rules this month, and be sure to use water symbolism in decorating the room in which you will celebrate the occasion.

Marriage
As for the favorable months to get married in the leap year 2021, based on the zodiac sign, astrologers recommend the following:

January is favorable for Taurus, Pisces and Cancer
February suits Leos
March – Scorpios, Sagittarius and Capricorns
April – Gemini and Capricorn
May – Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Aquarius, Cancer
June – Virgo and Libra
July – Leo, Libra, Scorpio
August – Cancer
September – Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo
October – Taurus, Aquarius, Pisces
November – Aries, Capricorn, Pisces
December – Aries, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces

Disadvantages of holding weddings on a leap year

Are there any downsides to holding a wedding on a leap year? Yes, and a very big one – these are the prejudices themselves.

Everyone understands that the closer the wedding day is, the more worried both the bride and groom are. Wedding chores, organizing a feast, fulfilling all the customs, a dress, a suit, a wedding cake, inviting a toastmaster - everything needs to be monitored, nothing should be missed, and, as a rule, the newlyweds have no experience in such matters. Is it a joke?! So it’s not far from a nervous breakdown. And there are still those whispering nearby who believe that a wedding shouldn’t be held at all this year, because the husband could die, and the child would be born with hooves, and... If the bride and groom don’t run to shoot themselves, then they have reinforced concrete nerves .

the church actively opposes all superstitions, which means it does not advise refusing to get married this year

In fact, I would like to give a simple example - perhaps people used to observe some signs associated with the “Year of Kasyan”, but ask the reviews of any married couple you know - did they get married on a leap year or not? 9 out of 10 couples won’t answer you because they simply don’t know. Or they don't remember. And at the same time, they have been living well for many years now.

Wedding and horoscope

Often, lovers turn to the horoscope to understand whether they should get married on a leap year. In order not to be tormented by doubts, you need to listen to the opinions of astrologers. Then the year of the Rat will not be able to harm.

Which signs will luck smile on?

The Metal Rat is an unromantic animal, so you should not expect loving help from it. Astrologers warn that 2021 will be an extremely hectic year for all brides and grooms.

The Rat is a hard-working creature, so passion and desire for career heights can cross out the love part of your personal life and prevent you from registering a love union.

If you manage to correctly distribute your efforts between home and work, then there is nothing to be afraid of, happiness will not be far off. In 2021, luck will smile on the following zodiac signs:

Aries. A determined fire sign will not allow the metal Rat to disrupt its own amorous plans. Aries will prove to be spiritually strong to maintain peace and love with their significant other. It is better to postpone marriage to the second half of the year.
An enchanting wedding awaits airy Geminis. Despite the reluctance to take responsibility for the family, this zodiac sign in 2021 will radically change views on living together and marriage.
Sensual and emotional Cancers are the least likely to feel the mischief of the metal Rat. No matter what difficulties you have to face, the zodiac sign will cope with everything perfectly.
For Libra in 2021, everything will be manageable. The marriage that can be concluded during this period will be strong and harmonious. It is better to register a union in spring or autumn.
Capricorns have every chance to meet their beloved soul mate and form a strong bond. Fate is favorable to this sign, the main thing is not to miss the chance for happiness.

Wedding numerology

Fans of shocking numerology can get married on a beautiful date. There are several ways to choose an unusual number:

The presence of repeating numbers. You can choose 2 beautiful dates for your wedding in 2021: 02/2/2020 and 02/20/2020.
The presence of the first identical digits: January 1, March 3, April 4, May 5, June 6, July 7, August 8, September 9, October 10, November 11 and December 12.
Having the same date and year. The dates will look nice on the marriage certificate: 01/20/20, 02/20/20, 03/20/20, etc.

Some couples often prefer popular symbolic holidays as attractive dates:

February 14—Valentine's Day;
July 6 - Kissing Day;
July 8 - Day of Family, Love and Fidelity;
December 4 is International Hug Day.

It is important to take into account that many couples want to tie the knot on such interesting days, so it is necessary to submit an application to the registry office in advance. Otherwise, registration on beautiful dates will not be possible and you will have to get married on a more ordinary day.

Benefits of getting married during a leap year

List of benefits of getting married in such an unusual time:

the marriage will be happy, since the year itself is considered happy;
in such a year, as a rule, newlyweds will be offered discounts, bonuses, and promotions for a wedding event;
and yet, in such a year, someone else gives up their happiness in the form of a wedding, so the rest will have more choice for their wedding, they can choose any restaurant or cafe;
a huge plus - you don’t have to wait a whole year to be called the husband or wife of your loved one.

Is it possible to have a wedding in a leap year - what will the church say?

If people can believe in omens or not, then many people listen quite carefully to the prohibitions of the church. And indeed, it would be a shame if a beloved grandmother refused to come to her granddaughter’s wedding because the church strictly prohibited the celebration this year.

But the fact is that the church actively opposes all superstitions. This means that it is not advisable to refuse to get married this year.

There are no prohibitions for love - this is the position of the church. True, the same church strictly prohibits marriages during Lent, but this is only a few days, not a whole year.

Therefore, true Christians do not have the right to look back at February 29 when choosing a wedding day.

Is it possible to get married in January leap year 2020?

As we have already found out, a leap year is not considered the best time to get married. But nevertheless, there are days on which you can get married in a leap year , and it can be quite successful, especially for those who are not so much guided by signs, but rely on their own efforts and prudence.
So, in 2020, the stars are best positioned for those who decide to get married in March, May or September-October. And the lunar calendar marks the optimal dates that can become happy for a young couple. In January these are the 5th, 6th and 26th.

In January

And since we are talking about numbers, we should also talk about dates with repeating numbers 0 and 2, which are unfavorable for marriage this year. It is also not customary, according to the priests, to perform weddings while Lent lasts. Therefore, the dates of January 5 and 6, which fall precisely during this period, are not considered suitable for a wedding by the church. And it’s up to you to decide who to trust – astrologers or priests.

Astrologers' opinion

Astrologers also could not stay away from such an important event. True, their opinions differ greatly.

Some experts on the heavenly bodies categorically do not consider the possibility of getting married this year. And here’s why - the stars say that in the year of an extra day our planet is too vulnerable, it will face shocks all year and not the most pleasant ones, so newlyweds simply cannot attract the extra negative energy of the Cosmos.

The year of the Rat (and the year of the Metal Rat is coming) is generally extremely favorable for family affairs

Other astrologers calmly allow weddings to be scheduled on certain dates. For example, in January on the 17th, in February - on the 15th, in August only on the 17th, and in December on the 8th. The remaining days are dangerous for marriages. It is unknown what this threatens the disobedient, but it is considered so.

There are also star forecasts that say that the year of the Rat (and the year of the Metal Rat is coming) is generally extremely favorable for family affairs, and it is also good for the birth of children.

Therefore, those getting married should think about whose prediction to pay attention to.

Rational reasons

You need to start from each pair individually.

If for one of the newlyweds whether a leap year is significant or not, then it is better to refuse. Because no matter how a person is convinced, deep down in his soul there will still be a doubt as to whether he did the right thing in playing this wedding. And since a wedding is a fateful event in the life of every person, it is impossible for even little things to interfere with such an event.

If it is not difficult for the newlyweds, then you can postpone the wedding out of respect for your loved one

It is also worth postponing the wedding when the fact of a leap year plays a global significance for relatives or close people. If it is not difficult for the newlyweds, then you can postpone the wedding out of respect for your loved one. Otherwise, any minor irregularities in a young family can lead to serious disagreements, “and I told you that nothing would work out for you!” You got married on a leap year, that means. You will have failures all the time!”

When you only expect troubles from what you did (signed), then these troubles will not keep you waiting. It is not in vain that they say “Thoughts are material!”

Why is it bad luck to get married on the leap year 2020?

Weddings have always been associated with a large number of rituals and signs, many of which we still carefully observe. This is exactly how we treat getting married on a leap year with caution. And very few people know where this belief came from and what it is connected with.
And it’s all about the historical traditions of ancient Rus'. It was they who dictated the unwritten rule. In a leap year, the initiative to propose marriage belonged to the girls. They, and not the guys, were the first to talk about marriage and boldly proposed marriage to their chosen one. And even if the guy didn’t like the girl, he had no right to refuse - that’s what another tradition said. Is it any wonder that marriages based on the feelings of only one of the partners, without reciprocity, were not strong and quickly fell apart?
Hence, it is customary to believe that a leap year is unlucky for marriage. In addition, for a long time people have noticed that it is during a leap year that many disasters occur, the weather surprises, the seasons seem to change places, very often there is a shortage of bread... And one more thing - an additional day in February, which a leap year gives us, in people call him Kasyanov.

Unlucky year

It is dedicated to the memory of the angel Kasyan, who revealed divine intentions to demons. For this he received punishment and could appear on earth only once every four years. During this day, he managed to do many more dishonest things, which left a negative imprint on any leap year.
And since 2020 is also a leap year, the signs, both wedding and general, apply to it to the fullest.

Famous people who got married on a leap year

Public people, just like ordinary people, get married, divorced, have children, and build a career. Here are just a few couples who got married on a leap year:
