The coming year 2022 will be a leap year. This is an unusual year. And therefore we should take a closer look at it. After all, all important events can take on a different color. This is especially true for such an important event as a wedding. Let's consider what a leap year promises us and whether it is possible to get married at this time.
Key signs of a leap year - what not to do
A leap year occurs once every 4 years. This means that instead of 365 days in a year there will be 366. February will bring an extra day. The ancestors were afraid of any change in the usual course of things, and assumed that a leap year would bring crop failure, war and disease. People call it the year of Kasyan, a vindictive stingy man who, on the way to heaven, refused to help pull the cart out of the mud. .
According to popular belief, nothing serious should be started during a leap year. Everything started will go awry. What exactly you should not do:
- get married or get married;
- divorce;
- change place of residence;
- start building a house;
- change place of work;
- take long trips or trips;
- open your own business;
- plan pregnancy.
Astrologers' forecasts for 2022
According to astrologers, 2022 is very different from other leap years. He will have to deal with almost twice as many negative aspects, difficulties and troubles.
Astrologers warn that this year a record number of cataclysms and wars will befall us, and it will end with a series of unjust sufferings.
Marriages entered into in 2022 will fall under the influence of Jupiter, known for his patronage of harlots and liars. This means that after the wedding, you run the risk of finding in your home a completely different person than the one you once fell in love with.
Jupiter loses its power only by mid-September, Venus takes its place. It is then that the situation will stabilize a little and the threat will disappear.
Why you can't get married on a leap year
It is not worth getting married during this period, because signs say that it will be fragile and will soon fall apart. Even if the couple maintains the relationship, the union will be difficult - with scandals and quarrels. Misunderstandings and even betrayals are likely. The material wealth of the couple having a wedding will be unstable. These are just some of the few reasons why you should not get married during a leap year.
According to Chinese superstitions, a long year is considered unfavorable for major life changes. He comes fourth, and the Chinese associate this number with illness, failure and death.
Esotericists give several reasons why you should not get married on a leap year:
- one of the spouses may become seriously ill;
- in marriage, young people will constantly quarrel and claim leadership;
- husband or wife becomes widowed early;
- there is a risk that young people will cheat on each other.
A leap year is considered unlucky not only for wedding celebrations; it is undesirable to have children this year. If the event has occurred, then the baby needs to be baptized as soon as possible in order to protect him from troubles and illnesses.
Marital happiness depends not only on signs. He is greatly influenced by the behavior of the husband and wife. To prevent negative omens from coming true, you must treat each other with respect. If relationships are built on abuse and submission, then the newlyweds will not be happy (regardless of the wedding date and observance of signs).

The Orthodox Church condemns superstitions, considering them pagan relics that are aimed at destroying the true faith. And he believes that you can get married on any day of the year. The main thing is that the date of the celebration does not fall on church holidays or fasting times, or on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday.
Astrologers consider the most favorable months to get married in a leap year to be March, May, September and October.

Church opinion
The Orthodox Church regards superstitions with a certain degree of irony, considering them a relic of the pagan past. Therefore, it is possible to hold a wedding in 2022.
But what the church really does not approve of is marriage during Lent. In 2022 there will be 4 of them:
- Lent (2.03-18.04).
- Petrov (15.06-11.07).
- Uspensky (14.08-27.08).
- Rozhdestvensky (28.11-06.01).
During the rest of the leap year, you can get married - such a marriage will be under God’s protection, just like those concluded in other years.
A test from numerologists to determine happy wedding dates in a leap year
Numerologists advise determining your lucky wedding day in 2020 using a simple test. To do this, you need to add up all the numbers of the planned date one by one.
For example, the celebration should take place on 08/07/2020. This means you need to add 0+7, 0+8 and 2+0+2+0 one by one. The resulting numbers 7, 8 and 4 are added again. The number 19 is again reduced to the unambiguous form 1+9 = 10, and then 1+0=1.
The final figure is used to determine whether the chosen day for the wedding will be favorable or not:
- 1 is a symbol of strong family relationships. However, the spouses will have to go through a lot to stay together until the end. They will be able to preserve the union only if they give in to each other.
- 2 - symbolizes the harmonious union of spouses. The husband and wife will be in equal positions, support and understand each other. However, if one of them cheats on the other, the marriage will immediately break up;
- 3 is an unlucky number for a wedding in the leap year 2022. Three symbolizes the instability of marriage, quarrels, conflicts
- 4 is also an unlucky number for a wedding in 2022. In such relationships, the main components will be greed and cold calculation. Those who were able to save their family will begin to live estranged.
- 5 - a successful marriage, but not for everyone. A union will only develop if the young people are passionate about one thing. In other cases, the rapid disintegration of the family is inevitable.
- 6 is a successful date in all respects for a wedding in a leap year. Young people will have everything they dream of: healthy children, prosperity and mutual understanding. The spouses will achieve all this together, but only if they initially had sincere feelings for each other.
- 7 is a lucky number for those who are looking for a calm family life. If a couple leads a busy lifestyle, then the period after the wedding in a leap year will be unsuccessful.
- 8 is an unlucky number for weddings for young people who marry for love. However, for those who have chosen a partner for calculation, the number eight promises to achieve their goals.
- 9 - favors the union of couples, where one spouse is in the role of leader, and in his subordination. The latter will have to forget about personal ambitions and career growth in order to devote himself to his family and, thereby, save the marriage.
How to avoid the consequences predicted in signs
Even if a person believes in bad omens, there are always ways to avoid bad consequences:
- Brides are advised to choose long dresses, maybe even with a train. This symbolizes a long and happy marriage. You cannot wear a dress that is short in front and long in back, this is a bad sign, marriage will be short, and loneliness after it will be long.
- In order for the future family to prosper, after the wedding ceremony, the young wife can put small coins in her shoes. It is believed that this will attract financial well-being to the new family.
- Especially during a leap year, you should not put a wedding ring on a glove. Even if it is very thin, you should first remove it and only then put on the jewelry. A ring worn over a glove is also a bad sign in normal times - it is believed that this indicates frivolity and promises a quick end to the marriage.
- If the dress and veil are purchased and not rented, they cannot be sold under any circumstances. It is believed that this is how they sell their family happiness. In a leap year, such a sign cannot be ignored.
- The tablecloth with which the table was set should be preserved and used on each anniversary. According to the legend, how long it lasts, the marriage will last. This tablecloth cannot be thrown away or given away.
- The day before the wedding, you can light a candle charged with love or peace in the family, and sit quietly for a while, think about how happy your new life will be. Then the candle is left to burn out completely while the person goes about his business.
- If before the wedding you sew an even number of small buttons on the inside of the skirts of the dress, the family will be strong and without betrayal.
Important! One of the most effective ways is to not prepare for the bad, but to tune in to the good. If people love each other and treat each other with dignity, the marriage will be happy, whether it is a leap year or not.
On the contrary, if you delay and do not get married when planned, conflict may arise due to prejudice.
What if you still get married?
Let's talk about good things. It turns out that the devil is not as scary as it seems. There are also good predictions:
- Leap year is the year of brides, therefore, all marriages will be happy, and created families will be rich;
- walk at the wedding cheerfully and with pleasure, and the newlyweds will have a joyful life;
- if the cake baked before the wedding is lush, the extra day will bring more happiness, which means there will be more children in the family.
Exclusively for doubting newlyweds, we offer a few more necessary things to do:
- Before going to the registry office, say the sacred words: “I crown with a crown, not a leap end.”
- You should not dress up in a wedding dress with a short skirt.
- Putting a ring on a glove is a sign of an empty, careless relationship.
- You need to put a coin in your shoes for good luck.
- You can’t let anyone try on your wedding dress.
- For three anniversaries, cover the table with a wedding tablecloth.
- Save the groom's cutlery from the festive table and serve it to him - life will be full.
- Liberally sprinkled with wheat or rice for the newlyweds - to prosperity in their family.
A good attitude and the belief that everything will be wonderful will help overcome bad thoughts about misfortunes that promise ominous prophecies.

Where does the sign come from?
In Ancient Russia they believed that on February 29 the “Kasyanovo (devil’s) window” opened and troubles and misfortunes began to fall on people . On this day, people were even afraid to leave the house, much less start something new, and getting married was strictly forbidden.
By the way! According to legend, the angel Kasyan, close to God, became a traitor and conveyed all his plans to the evil one. When the crime was revealed, the scoundrel was beaten in heaven for three years, and only on the fourth, February 29, was he sent to earth for a year (probably to do more mischief).
Then the girls themselves could woo the guys they liked. It was necessary to dress in a crimson flannel undershirt. And so she comes, red and beautiful, under the gate of her beloved, sits on a bench, is silent and waits whether they will call her into the house or not. In such cases, the parents, without asking the groom’s consent, arranged a wedding with the girl they liked. But he should live! Where will there be harmony and agreement in such an imposed family? So the belief began that this was not the time to get married. But the fact is that after it came the year of the widow, and then the year of the widower. Not better either. Yes, waiting for a wedding for such a long time can discourage anyone from getting married.
Important! Pagan customs differ, sometimes diametrically. If the Slavs avoid marriage at this time, the Celts, on the contrary, strongly advise it.
