After what period is a leap year? Leap years: list, history, signs and superstitions

2016 is a leap year. This is not such a rare occurrence, because every 4 years the 29th day appears in February. There are many superstitions associated with this year, but is it really so dangerous? Let's try to figure this out, whether leap years are different in any way. The 21st century list regarding leap years is maintained on the same principle as before.

Leap year: definition

We all know that there are 365 days in a year, but sometimes there are 366. What does this depend on? First of all, it should be noted that we live according to the Gregorian calendar, in which those that contain 365 days are considered ordinary years, and leap years are those that are one day longer, respectively 366 days. This happens because periodically in February there are not 28, but 29 days. This happens once every four years, and this very year is usually called a leap year.

How to determine a leap year

Those years whose numbers can be divided without a remainder by the number 4 are considered to be leap years. A list of them can be found in this article. Let's say the current year is 2016, if we divide it by 4, then the result of division is a number without a remainder. Accordingly, this is a leap year. In a normal year there are 52 weeks and 1 day. Each subsequent year shifts by one day in relation to the days of the week. After a leap year, the shift occurs immediately by 2 days.

It is counted from the first day of the spring equinox to the beginning of the next one. This period, precisely, does not have exactly 365 days, which are indicated in the calendar, but several more.

Exception

The exception is the zero years of centuries, that is, those with two zeros at the end. But if such a year number can be divided without a remainder by 400, then it is also classified as a leap year.

If we consider that the extra hours in a year are not exactly six, then the missing minutes also affect the calculation of time. It was calculated that for this reason, in 128 years, one extra day would pass in this way. In this regard, it was decided that not every fourth year should be considered a leap year, but that those years that are divisible by 100, except those that are divisible by 400, should be excluded from this rule.

The history of the leap year

To be more precise, according to the Egyptian solar calendar, introduced by Julius Caesar, the year has not exactly 365 days, but 365.25, that is, plus another quarter of a day. The extra quarter of a day in this case is 5 hours 48 minutes and 45 seconds, which was rounded up to 6 hours, constituting a quarter of the day. But adding such a small unit of time to the year every time is impractical.

Over four years, a quarter of a day turns into a full day, which is added to the year. So February, which has fewer days than normal months, adds an extra day - and only a leap year has a February 29th.

Leap years: a list of years from the past and the 21st century. Example:

It was decided to adjust the calendar year in accordance with the astronomical year - this was done so that the seasons always occurred on the same day. Otherwise, the boundaries would shift over time.

From the Julian calendar we switched to the Gregorian calendar, which differs from the previous one in that a leap year occurs once every four years, and according to the Julian calendar - once every three years. The Russian Orthodox Church still lives according to the old style. It is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar. Hence the celebration of dates according to the old and new styles. Thus, Catholics celebrate Christmas according to the old style - December 25, and in Russia according to the Gregorian calendar - January 7.

Where did the fear of a leap year come from?

The word "leap year" comes from the Latin phrase "bis sextus", which translates as "second sixth".

Most people associate leap year with something bad. All these superstitions go back to Ancient Rome. In the modern world, days are counted from the beginning of the month, but in ancient times it was different. They were counting the days left until the beginning of the next month. Let’s say, if we say February 24, then the ancient Romans in this case used the expression “the sixth day before the beginning of March.”

When a leap year occurred, an additional day appeared between February 24 and 25. That is, in a normal year there were 5 days left until March 1, and in a leap year there were already 6, which is why the expression “second sixth” came about.

With the onset of March, the fast ended, which lasted five days, if you start from February 24, but when you add an extra day, the fast already lasted, accordingly, 1 day longer. Therefore, they considered such a year to be bad - hence the superstition about the unluckiness of leap years.

In addition, the superstition comes from the fact that only in a leap year is Kasyanov’s Day celebrated, which falls on February 29. This holiday is considered mystical. In this regard, for a long time people have been trying not to do big things in such years, not to get married, not to have children, etc. Despite the simplicity of the algorithm for determining a leap year, some may wonder: “Which years are leap years?”

Leap years of the 19th century: list

1804, 1808, 1812, 1816, 1820, 1824, 1828, 1832, 1836, 1840, 1844, 1848, 1852, 1856, 1860, 1864, 1868, 1872, 1876, 1880, 1884, 1888, 1892, 1896.

Leap years of the 20th century: their list is as follows:

1904, 1908, 1912, 1916, 1920, 1924, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944, 1948, 1952, 1956, 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996

What years are leap years? The list of years of the current century will be constructed similarly to the previous ones. Let's take a look at it. Leap years (list) of the 21st century will be calculated in the same way. That is, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, etc.

Signs associated with leap year

This year, according to legend, you cannot change your usual environment. This can be understood as moving to a new place of residence, looking for a new job.

It was believed that marriages entered into this year could not bring happiness, and weddings were not recommended.

You also can’t do anything, start new things. This includes opening a business or building a house.

Let's answer the question: which years are leap years? List of 19th, 20th and 21st centuries:

It is better to postpone long trips and travel.

You can't celebrate your baby's first tooth.

Since ancient times, such years were considered dangerous, bringing many deaths, diseases, wars and crop failures. People, especially superstitious ones, fear the onset of such a year, having already prepared in advance for the worst. But are they really that dangerous?

Opinion about established superstition

The Church does not see anything bad in these years, explaining the phenomenon of a leap year as just changes in the calendar that were once made. Based on statistics, such years are no different from ordinary ones. Even if we take the issue of marriage in a leap year, which predicts a short life in marriage, then the number of divorces of “leap marriages” is no greater than among those couples who got married in ordinary years.

A leap year gives rise to many superstitions and rumors, which mainly boil down to the fact that this year is unlucky and rich in negative events. Let's see if this is true.

Leap year: a little history

The word “leap year” is of Latin origin and translates as “second sixth.” According to the Julian calendar, the year lasted 365.25 days, with each day shifting by 6 hours. Such an error could confuse the ancient men; to prevent this from happening, it was decided that every fourth year would consist of 366 days, and February would become one day longer. They called this year a leap year.

In Rus', there were many legends about the appearance of leap years, each of which was considered unlucky.

Legends about the appearance of a leap year in Rus'

February 29 is also called Kasyan's Day in honor of St. Kasyan. Being a bright angel, he was seduced by the tricks of evil spirits and went over to the side of the devil. However, he later repented and prayed to the Lord for mercy. Having mercy on the traitor, God assigned an angel to him. He chained Kasyan and, by order from above, beat him in the forehead with an iron hammer for 3 years, and released him on the fourth.

According to another legend, Kasyanov's day is his name day. However, each time the saint got dead drunk for three years and came to his senses only in the fourth year. That is why he is supposed to celebrate his day so rarely.

There is a third legend: walking along the road, St. Kasyan and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker met a peasant. He asked for help because his cart was stuck in the mud. To which Kasyan replied that he was afraid to stain his robe, and Nikolai helped. The saints came to heaven, God noticed that Nicholas' robe was dirty and asked what was the matter. The Wonderworker told him what happened. Then God noticed that Kasyan’s robe was clean and asked if they weren’t walking together? Kasyan replied that he was afraid of getting his clothes dirty. God realized that the saint was being disingenuous and made it so that his name day comes once every 4 years. And Nikolai’s name day for his kindness is twice a year.

Leap years were notorious in Rus': we will not continue the list of legends for long, here is one example: honest people tried to complete all their work before February 29. Many did not dare to leave the house, the sun on this day was called “The Eye of Kasyan”, they were afraid to get under the sun, so that Kasyan would not jinx them and send them illness and suffering.

Superstitions about leap year

As in ancient times, in the modern world there are often signs and superstitions that do not characterize leap years from the best side (the list is given below):

You need to hold off on getting married during a leap year. Such a marriage will not be durable, the young people will quarrel, and the newly created family will bring upon itself troubles and misfortunes.
You need to put off selling, buying, exchanging real estate or building a house. Deals concluded this year will not be profitable and will inevitably lead to the ruin of the parties. But the new housing will not last long.
Any undertaking is dangerous - changing jobs, moving, starting a business. The sign is understandable: the presence of a 29th day in one of the winter months can characterize the whole year as not being what it should be. Therefore, it is easier for a person who is unsure of his own abilities to give up something new than to make an effort to start and develop a business.
You cannot get pregnant and give birth, as the birth will be difficult and the baby may be born unhealthy. Or his life will be hard and joyless.
A leap year “mows down” people, that is, it takes them away. It is generally accepted that mortality increases every fourth year, although this superstition is not statistically confirmed.
You cannot pick mushrooms, eat them or sell them to people, so as not to raise something bad from the ground.
It is believed that leap years entail natural disasters and disasters: fires, floods, drought.

What years are leap years? List of leap years in the 20th century

In the last century, as well as in the 21st century, leap years have made superstitious people afraid. A list of them is given below:

1900s: -00; -04; -08; -12, and so on, every fourth year.
The year two thousand was also a leap year.

Leap years: 21st century list

To this day, many people wait with fear for a leap year, psychologically setting themselves up for trouble and explaining the misfortunes by the presence of an extra day in February.

Leap years, list since 2000: -04; -08; -12; -16, and then every fourth year.

Instead of a conclusion

According to statistics, only a small number of all troubles and disasters occur in leap years. The superstitions that exist to this day can be explained by the fact that people, closely following the troubles and misfortunes that happened during leap years, attached exaggerated importance to what was happening solely because of the unflattering glory of the latter.

For people who believe too much in leap year superstitions, I would like to wish them to pay more attention to positive changes and events. And then, perhaps, a list of good omens will appear that will rehabilitate leap years.

It cannot be said that on the eve of the New Year, everyone except children is in a good, upbeat mood. The past year has been too full of sad and sad incidents. It doesn’t add to the joy that next year will be a leap year. However, it is not recommended to celebrate the holiday with such a gloomy mood, so let’s try to think rationally about how real our fears are when trying to consider the near future. It is quite possible that this will make the coming 12 months seem less gloomy.

Leap year - what does it mean, is it good or bad?

If the second month of winter has 29 days rather than 28, then the year is called a leap year. It appears due to a slight discrepancy in the number of days in our astronomical calendar with the actual time during which our planet makes a complete revolution around the Sun. Since this happens in 365 days and 6 hours, the scientific world decided to take into account the “extra” day of February that did not fit into the “tail”.

A leap year means that February of this year is one day longer.

In fact, an additional day in a year does not have any impact on the world around us, since its appearance is a tribute to convention. If negative changes occurred in the lives of people and countries on the eve of a leap year, then the resulting trend, if countermeasures are not taken, will continue due to circumstances, and not because of an “extra” day.

However, people who are distrustful of any changes in life tend to “look for the elephant in every fly” and expect bad things at every opportunity. Due to this, many people imagine social and political troubles during a leap year. It is logical to assume that with such an attitude, many large-scale tasks will be carried out with insufficient zeal and, as a result, the standard of living will definitely decrease as a result. As a result, the leap year will be blamed for the worsening state of affairs, and not their own carelessness.

Wedding during this period

In the old days, during leap years, professional matchmakers were left without work, because girls were given the right to independently choose a spouse. It is possible that this is why the expression “you can’t get married” was born - as an indication of the fact that when forming a family, the initiative was transferred to women. Over time, the essence of the tradition was lost, but a cautionary rule appeared that did not recommend starting a family in a year whose February has 29 days. Since it was believed that a married couple was expected to:

unstable financial situation,
unhappy life together.

Interestingly, getting divorced in a non-standard year is also not recommended. According to forecasts, such couples are guaranteed a lack of personal happiness in the future. But for the most determined experts in traditional recommendations, a loophole has been left:

If a spouse freed from marriage obligations comes to church with a towel and utters the cherished words “I pay tribute to the leap year, and you, family angel, stand next to me.”

That is, there is a chance that the person who performed the ritual will still be able to find his true “native” soul mate.

Even for those getting married in a church, a verbal talisman has been invented, which must be pronounced by the priest performing the ceremony. It sounds like this: “I crown with a crown, not a leap end.”

Birth of a child

Superstitions favor newborns in a leap year and promise a good fate in all respects. So you need to be brave, maybe even two.

What does it mean to be born in a long year?

Signs regarding people born in a leap year, oddly enough, are very favorable. Such people are predicted to have luck in business and an easy fate. Those born on a rare day in February are credited with something beyond their ability: the gift of prophecy.

For those born on a “strange day,” this actually means that every three years in a row, legal name days will have to be celebrated either on February 28 or March 1.

What can and cannot be done in a year whose February has 29 days?

You can't do:

For the taboo on haircuts (So as not to harm the health of the future child).
Tell those planning new events and business projects about their plans. (However, if partners cannot be notified of intentions, then what kind of business will get off the ground?).
Drowning kittens. (No comments).
Sell any domestic animals (Then the year will definitely seem hungry for livestock farmers).
Caroling. (Otherwise a person may be exposed to circumstances under the influence of which he will change greatly).
Laying the foundation of a house, building a bathhouse. Otherwise, everything built will soon fall into disrepair or be lost due to fire. (Apparently, in some cities the leap year has been firmly established for a decade and is not going to go away).
Change place of residence, source of income.
Celebrate the holiday of the “first tooth”. (The punishment for not following the recommendation may be bad teeth for life).
Go out on a quiet mushroom hunt. (Experienced experts say that every four years the mycelium is renewed, which negatively affects the quality of even good mushrooms - they become unsuitable for food. However, on which stump can you read in what years the local mycelium experienced the process of rejuvenation?).
Prepare funeral equipment for future use.
Travel far from home. If you can’t get out of traveling, you need to cast a special spell. Or simply wish yourself a mental quick and safe return to the same house - if you have a desire to return to it.

You can and should do:

Burn the old slippers and put a new pair in their place. It is recommended to burn used house shoes, saying phrases with the wish that all troubles and misfortunes burn in the observed fire.
On New Year's Eve, thank the forces of the Cosmos for all the good things that happened in the past year, household members, luck in business.
When you hear a dog howling at any distance from you, you need to say: “Go howl, but not to my house.”
When planting a garden with seedlings, sowing seeds, say something like: “I plant, but I won’t go into the ground.” (Maybe it’s better not to spend all your free time in the garden and give yourself a break sometimes?).

Why is this year dangerous?

In fact: what you want, expect it.

People who believe in the unfavorable aura of a leap year are preparing to receive from it:

complications in the life of a country and a person in particular (due to political or religious instability, which, as a rule, affects the everyday life of citizens of the state and the world);
problems with the harvest (unpredictable frosts, problems with precipitation, excessive sun activity, migration of crop-damaging insects);
difficulties in concluding partnership agreements, failure to meet deadlines under previously concluded agreements;
health problems, decreased immune strength.

It is dangerous because, succumbing to the influence of superstitions, a person will begin to take a less active position. Because of this, even though he may refuse a good career offer, business project, partnership or marital relationship. And good chances in any field do not come very often.

Therefore, only you can choose: build your life with an eye on ancient superstitions, which can exist today in the form of concepts that distort the actual essence, or take an adult approach to solving existing problems.

Considering the growing popularity of all kinds of negative predictions during periods of financial crises, with intensifying political confrontations on the world stage, it can be assumed that next year many of the people around them will fall into a kind of somnambulistic state and will show low social activity.

The following benefits can be derived from this:

Take a closer look at your surroundings: employees, associates and partners who will make fateful decisions, without making allowance for the superstitious restrictions that exist for 2016 - this is the main driving backbone of your business.

Such people do not draw conclusions based on unsupported conclusions, but are guided purely by facts. An exception can only be made for people - if there are such people in your circle - who truly have super abilities and download the necessary information, as they say, “out of thin air.” Although in reality they are most likely just excellent analysts.

When concluding contracts with new partners, first try to find out their ins and outs in their personal lives. If it turns out that a person is superstitious by nature, then:

you can take on the role of a super being and make sure that the desired partner every now and then catches the eye of “signs” indicating great benefits for him when collaborating with you;
Be prepared for the fact that a change in the terms of the agreement may occur unexpectedly, since the representative on the other side will dream or imagine something wrong.

Every 4 years, humanity lives in a leap year. It is this year, in February, that magically becomes 29 days.

There are many signs and beliefs associated with it, many of which have pagan roots, but there are also Christian elements. Sometimes, it comes to the point that during a leap year people give up such usual activities as a seaside holiday or regular trips to the country.

What is a leap year and how valid are the signs associated with it?

Leap year: where did the extra day come from?

Do you think that the Earth makes a full revolution in exactly 365 days? No, this is not so - the Earth makes a full circle around the Sun a little longer, namely, 365 days and 6 hours.

In other words, every year an extra quarter of a day is added. Over the course of 4 years, such quarters equal 24 hours. So it turns out that a year that is divisible by 4 (2008, 2012, 2016, the leap year calendar is based on this principle) is different from the rest.

The leap year is designed to eliminate this surplus and bring balance to the calendar. If it were not for the leap year, then in a couple of centuries the new year would have moved to the beginning of March, and this is quite serious!

Leap year differences

The differences between a leap year and other years, from a material point of view, are limited only by the number of days. In addition, people have to work one more day. Sometimes, however, it turns out to rest once again, but this happens quite rarely.

From an astrological point of view, during the Earth's path around the Sun during a leap year, a large number of troubles occur:

people's everyday problems;
man-made disasters;
natural disasters;
relatively high mortality rate.

However, one can argue with the latter - there are no comments from funeral service workers about the increase in mortality. Only slightly more elderly people die.

Leap year: greetings from Antiquity

For the first time, the ancient Romans became concerned with the problem of the calendar not corresponding to the real flow of time. In this country, it was forbidden to transfer significant dates to another time of the year. People were guided by the movement of the Sun across the sky.

Guy Julius Caesar solved the problem quickly and radically - from the moment of his reign, people began to live according to the Julian calendar, which added one day to February every 4 years. The transition to the new calendar began gradually, not everyone accepted it, but time took its toll.

Over time, the pagan calendar migrated to Christian culture. But in some regions this year is associated with Kasyan Visokos, one of the saints, the patron saint of monasticism.

Allegedly, he binge-drinks for three years, and after 4 years he comes out of the drinking binge and takes it out on people for the fact that his day is celebrated only once every 4 years.

Here, however, there is a problem - a Christian saint, by definition, cannot be a binge drunkard, plus there is no record in the church that Visokos likes to drink.

Signs and beliefs associated with leap year

Nowadays, leap year is treated relatively simply, but in the past, some people were afraid to leave the house on February 29th during a leap year. For example, there was a superstition that if you were very cold on this day, and at the end of February the frosts could be severe, then a person would certainly catch a severe cold and die.

The same applies to livestock. Popular belief says that any mistake in caring for pets on this day can cost the animals their lives. For example, malnutrition or overfeeding.

Starting a new business in a leap year, according to popular belief, cannot bring much success.

Everything is bound to go wrong: even if a person builds a house, or even opens a business. In addition, all major matters should be postponed at least until February 29 - this time is considered the most unfortunate since the beginning of the year.

To appease Visokos a little, you need to do the following:

when the chimes strike, throw a glass of vodka out of the window (other alcohol will do, but it must be strong);
drink without clinking glasses when it is exactly midnight;
If you do end up clinking glasses, then before you take a sip, you need to put the glasses on the table.

According to popular belief, Visokos's anger will subside a little before the completion of the next track around the Sun.

Another interesting sign is associated with collecting gifts from nature. Usually, picking mushrooms and berries is difficult on February 29, but things found on the street, for example, money, can bring trouble if they get into the house.

And if at the same time the dog howls (Dog Day on February 29 is itself a bad sign), then disaster is guaranteed. You need to ignore him, saying, “Forget me.”

Leap year prohibitions

Since this year is so unlucky, people have come up with many prohibitions, by observing which you can ward off trouble from your home. By the way, nature also “participates” in these prohibitions.

For example, according to the recollections of old-timers, in leap years there is usually a weak apple harvest.

So, what not to do in a leap year:

You can't sing carols at baptism. This ritual itself is relatively associated with evil spirits, and once every four years they are especially “attentive” to people. It's better not to attract any rubbish. So no matter how many sweets people offer, it is better to avoid carols.
It is not recommended to sell products produced on your own farm. It is believed that happiness and wealth leave the house with them.
You shouldn’t show your baby’s first erupted tooth to anyone, except perhaps your closest relatives. If you break the ban, the child will have crooked teeth.
You cannot start new big things, including getting married. Everything will go wrong, this has already been discussed above.
You can’t buy “coffin things.” It sounds strange, but for some older people it is the norm to buy things for their funeral. Such an action during a leap year will hasten death.
Women are strictly prohibited from dyeing their hair. This can lead to the lady going bald.
Changing your place of work or place of residence is prohibited. A person simply will not get accustomed to a new place; he will have to start everything from scratch (this point is sometimes impossible, because there are different circumstances in life).

Having children joins this forbidden group, but not everyone takes this restriction seriously.

Maybe this all sounds archaic, but the fact remains that people often complain to astrologers and psychics about misfortunes that began precisely after violating such prohibitions.

Conclusion - until the Earth makes a full revolution around the Sun in a leap year, some activities should be abandoned.

What do astrologers think?

In 2016, I made an anonymous personal calendar for a young man. He was going to start a new business project, but numerology showed that the undertaking would not only be extremely unsuccessful, but could even lead to the death of my client.

Unfortunately, he didn’t listen to me, he did the opposite. The result is deplorable - although he remained alive, he lost everything to the last penny, and is now starting a new life.

Surprisingly, most of these calendars for different people, made during leap years, showed similar results. I don’t really believe in the involvement of negative entities in the problems, but the influence of the planets in these years is extremely negative.

The leap year should pass calmly and without unnecessary movements, I can tell you that for sure!

Irina, Moscow

All the predictions I made for people wanting to get married on a leap year didn't say anything good. This time is a time of failures, misunderstandings, conflicts and contradictions, what kind of marriage can we talk about?

At the same time, many of these “weds” separated even before the wedding. Since 2016, only 5-10% of those families have survived.

Mortality, by the way, is also increasing! Older people die in droves during leap years. Pray more often, do not anger the higher powers! And go to church, every 7 days or so.

Svyatoslav, Yaroslavl

I believe that leap year is a pagan Slavic belief. The ancestors endowed February with demonic power and feared it like fire.

So this belief has come to us in a greatly modified form. There's nothing wrong with a leap year, but a little care still wouldn't hurt.

Irma, Moscow

High mortality, that's what a leap year is. It is rare to make favorable forecasts at this time.

Basically, people have some problems to solve. I advise you not to violate the leap year prohibitions and undergo purification rituals more often.

Svetlana, Samara

The main difference between a leap year is the number of days in February. In a leap year, unlike a normal year, February has twenty-nine days instead of the usual twenty-eight. There are different opinions as to whether a leap year can be called unsuccessful. Superstitious people fear its onset because they associate it with the beginning of a difficult period in life. This year, a person in all matters is accompanied by failures that cannot be avoided. But this is just one opinion.

Ancient legend about leap year

Leap years are considered bad for a reason. There is an old legend associated with it that reveals the origin story of this year.

Leap year is associated with the name of the angel Kasyan. The Lord trusted him with his plans and thoughts. But Kasyan could not resist the temptation and went over to the side of the dark forces. He was punished for his betrayal. For three years he was beaten for his anger and cowardice, and in the fourth year he descended to earth and harmed people in every possible way. Our ancestors believed that Kasyan could ruin their harvest and bring disease to their livestock.

It cannot be said unequivocally that a leap year is unlucky. Yes, more accidents are happening all over the world. But this can be explained quite simply: the statistics of accidents increases due to the fact that the leap year is one day longer. This is a logical explanation that is difficult to dispute. The number of months does not change, but one is added per day during which an accident, car accident or death of a person may occur.

Signs

We have come down to many examples related to leap years. The most controversial of them is the sign according to which a marriage entered into this year will not be happy for the young. This superstition appeared for a reason. It has its own story. In ancient times, leap year was called the “Year of Brides.” The girl could choose her betrothed herself and woo him. According to the rules, the groom could not refuse, even if he was in love with another girl. Marriages were not based on mutual love. Because of this, the relationship was not happy and strong. Therefore, a prejudice has arisen that it is undesirable to hold a wedding this year.

In Orthodoxy, this sign is treated with skepticism. The wedding must be held according to the church calendar, to which leap year has nothing to do. This year is not bad for Muslims. There are no superstitions or omens in Islam.

People born in a leap year were perceived ambiguously by our ancestors. Someone believed that the baby had an unhappy fate from childhood. There is an opposite opinion, according to which the child is unique, different from other children. A happy and successful life awaits him; good luck will accompany him in all his endeavors.

People believed that a child whose birthday was on February 29th was endowed with esoteric abilities. He was born for a reason; he has a kind and bright mission on earth: to help his neighbors.

Signs of Fate cannot be ignored. If a person feels that he is endowed with a rare gift, he should use it for good purposes.

Prohibitions

There are many prohibitions that affect people's lives. They all boil down to the fact that you shouldn’t make big plans for a leap year. There is a high probability that they will not be implemented. What to avoid:

You cannot start building a house, bathhouse, or cottage. It is believed that an accident may occur at a construction site that will prevent the work from being completed.
Working with soil is dangerous for humans. It is better not to plant new plants, as they may not take root and die.
Kasyan will jinx a person’s undertakings if he tells someone about his plans. You can only trust your closest family member or friend whose thoughts are pure.
Ancestors advised to avoid long journeys. The journey will end poorly and will not bring the expected result.
If there is a pet in the house, under no circumstances should you give it to anyone. Prosperity and good fortune will leave the house with him.
