Is it possible to guess in a leap year and why?

Despite the breakthroughs in the development of technology and the opportunities that have opened up, humanity still believes in signs. Some do not take out garbage in the evenings, others are afraid of black cats, and still others are afraid of birds on the windowsill. But there is one superstition in which people have believed unconditionally for a long time. This is what a leap year brings bad luck.

This phenomenon occurs every 4 years. However, no scientific evidence has been found to support the bad timing theory. But the people say that in a leap year, you cannot make serious purchases, make grandiose plans and in no case should you guess.

Humanity has long been accustomed to blaming a leap year for its failures, in which the month of February acquires another extra day, namely 29th number. This does not happen often, but every 4 years. But this is quite enough to call the presented phenomenon a time of negativity. According to popular beliefs, this year you cannot buy cars, change your usual way of life, enter into marriage unions and even pick mushrooms. In simple terms, nothing can be done at all. But if you try to derail the life of mankind for 1 year, a kind of end of the world will come in a month.

The most dangerous in a leap year is called February 29. It is believed that on this day the earth pushes out all the evil and bad energy accumulated over 4 years. This very energy negatively affects human life in all its senses.

There are several legendsexplaining the occurrence of the phenomenon on February 29. One says that on this day Saint Kasian was born. It was he who betrayed God by telling the devil about the plans of the Almighty.Others argue that Kasyan showed disrespect for a person and disgust by refusing to help him pull the cart out of the mud, fearing to stain his outfit.

Only February 29 still has a scientific basis. This day was invented to correct the chronology. Accordingly, all the hardships and failures are just speculation. It's just that one of the ancestors once met a lot of problems on his way, linked it all with February 29 and said that a leap year is a bad time for everyone.

According to folk omens, if you guess in a leap year, then only on Christmastide, from January 6 to 19. The holy holiday of Christmas falls in this period. However, more accurate data can be obtained on Christmas Eve, on the night of January 6-7. It is on this night that the forces of the other world have special power and are able to tell the truth. The evening of January 13 and Christmas Eve before Epiphany are considered similar in truthfulness in a leap year.

Others are sure that fortune telling in a leap year is strictly prohibited. It is believed that by guessing, you can lose your happiness. And if suddenly fortune-telling shows something bad, it will definitely come true.

Christmas fortune-telling at all times was considered the most truthful. However, it is in a leap year that they carry with them a certain danger and cause a certain fear. In fact, one should not count on the accuracy of fortune-telling. Surely few can say that all their predictions from Christmas Eve came true. As a rule, only the fair sex believes in fortune-telling. And if the intentions to find out the future coincided with a leap year, you will have to make some preparations for the planned day.

1. First of all, you should decide on place conducting a fortune-telling rite. It should be borderline: in simple words, it should be in the place where the world of the living and the dead meets. For example, a bathhouse, an attic or a basement. It is much more interesting to guess in abandoned houses, at the crossroads and in the cemetery, but this is rarely done. Other people will certainly do the trick here.
2. Having decided on the place of the fortune-telling ritual, it is necessary prepare yourself... We'll have to remove the pectoral cross, which plays the role of a divine amulet, remove church attributes. Remove all knots, belts and bracelets from clothing. Dissolve the hair. Try to close pets in another room, as they are an obstacle to the appearance of otherworldly forces. The place for fortune telling should be lit only with candles. No extraneous noise is acceptable.
3. Before starting the divination ritual, you must outline a circle with a candle that will protect the fortuneteller from the effects of evil spirits... Sitting in a holy circle, in no case should you cross your arms and legs, the chakras should be open.
4. You can guess in any way: cards, coffee, tea, mirrors, ring, water or wax. With proper preparation, any option is suitable. The main thing is to stay calm. Only through efforts and willpower will it be possible to bypass the barrier with otherworldly forces and get from them a clear answer to the questions of interest. The absence of fear is an important indicator of the serious attitude of a fortuneteller. At a time when someone who wants to know the future penetrates into the other world, his protection falls on his own shoulders. Superstitions say that if you are frightened, evil spirits will feel weakness and begin to negatively affect the fortuneteller.

Fortune-telling and omens have a close connection with each other. However, this issue is worth considering from the point of view of skeptics. No one has ever existed in his life only through fortune-telling. More often than not, a person perceives the good news received from the layout of a deck of cards or from the sediment of coffee grounds as a positive attitude. And with this joyful note he moves forward, reaches the set goal.

If you look at the question of fortune-telling from the point of view of science, the only advice is to completely abandon belief in otherworldly predictions.... However, in the soul of every person there is always a place for something unusual, inexplicable. Another question is fortune telling in a leap year. According to superstitious people, for 366 days everyone is haunted by setbacks and troubles. And on days when fortune-telling is usually considered the most accurate, evil spirits get out. To protect yourself from its negative effects, you need to use some tips.

1. Read a prayer before you start guessing. Words of appeal to God allow you to cleanse yourself of negativity and unkind thoughts. Prayer purifies human consciousness and scares away evil spirits. During the appeal to the Almighty, the inner energy of a person is intensified, which makes it possible to correctly read the received prediction.
2. Use numerology. Knowing the lucky numbers and dates, you can choose the most suitable day for fortune telling, even in a leap year. It is at this happy time that an individual portal opens, improving contact with otherworldly energy.
3. Monitor astronomical phenomena. For example, with a starfall or a full moon, fortune-telling predictions turn out to be as true as possible.

However, do not forget about your own strengths and capabilities. You can, of course, trust fortune-telling, but you should not treat them as an obligatory ritual. At a young age, they guess for the sake of interest, and as they mature, they forget about this prank.
