2024 is a leap year, differs only in that it has not 365 days, as usual, but 366. There is an old belief that one should not get married in such a year, because family life will be unhappy and family will most likely fall apart. But astrologers do not agree with the old superstitions, and believe that you can get married in 2024 without fear of curses. The main thing is to choose a favorable day according to the lunar calendar.
Why you can't get married on a leap year
Wedding ceremonies have been shrouded in a halo of rituals and superstitions since ancient times, and many of them remain relevant to this day.These include the warning against marrying on a leap year. The rule came from ancient Russian traditions. Girls could choose any groom for themselves and propose to him. According to the same tradition, it was impossible to refuse, even if the groom was not delighted with the bride. Unions concluded on the initiative of only one side, as a rule, did not bring happiness to spouses. And so the superstition began that a leap year is a bad time for marriage.
According to modern statistics, in such years there are 15-20% fewer marriages than in ordinary ones.
As if in confirmation of these signs, most of the cataclysms fall on such a year: the climate throws surprises, crop failure occurs. In addition, the “extra” February day, which appears every 4 years, is not for nothing called Kasyanov.
It was named in honor of an angel named Kasyan, who revealed divine plans to devilish entities, for which he paid: he was allowed to appear on earth for only one day in four years.But even during these single days, the disgraced angel managed to do many more bad deeds. Because of it, the leap year began to be perceived as unlucky and cursed. In 2024, all these fears come into play, and the newlyweds do not want to get married in the "damned" year.
Is it possible to play a wedding in 2024 - the opinion of astrologers
Most astrologers believe that the length of the year does not affect the family life of the newlyweds. Their relationship depends more on the chosen date and month of the ceremony than on the number of days in a year. It is better to look at the "lord" of this year according to the Eastern calendar. The dragon is a protector, and for creating a family it is a good patron. It promotes well-being, and also promises the appearance of he althy and gifted children. The most suitable dates for marriage in the year of the Dragon are those in which there are twos and threes.
Choosing the date of the wedding ceremony based on the Lunar calendar
No matter how strong the feelings are, do not neglect the help of a powerful cosmic body, choosing a fateful date for celebration. It is better to consider the following simple principles:
- Eclipses of the Sun and Moon are the most unfortunate periods for marriage. Relationships legalized at such a time can be poisoned by the most unpleasant surprises.
- The Venus and Mercury retrograde stage is also worth waiting out. These planets can cause trouble in everyday life, not to mention such an important event as a wedding.
- The growing moon favors the beginning of family life the most.
Astrologers also recommend choosing a month according to the sign of the Zodiac.
| Month | Which zodiac signs are suitable for a wedding in 2024 |
| January | Pisces, Cancers and Taurus |
| February | Lions |
| March | Sagittarius, Capricorn and Scorpio |
| April | Capricorn and Gemini |
| May | Virgo, Aquarius, Libra, Cancer and Gemini |
| June | Libra and Virgo |
| July | Libra, Leo and Scorpio |
| August | Crayfish |
| September | Sagittarius, Gemini and Virgo |
| October | Pisces, Aquarius and Taurus |
| November | Capricorn, Aries and Pisces |
| December | Aries, Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio and Pisces |
When choosing the date of the ceremony, you first need to find a good month for the zodiac sign, and only then select a specific number in the list of favorable and unfavorable days according to the lunar calendar.
| Month | Auspicious days | Unfavorable numbers |
| January | 5, 12 | 2, 6, 10, 11, 27, 29 |
| February | 11, 18, 23 | 3, 7, 8 |
| March | 15 | 5, 6, 28 |
| April | 14, 16, 21,22 | 2, 27, 30 |
| May | 11, 12, 13 | 27 |
| June | 8, 16, 21 | 6, 29 |
| July | 7, 12, 14 | 30, 31 |
| August | 22, 27 | 9, 11, 18 |
| September | 6, 8, 15, 16 | 2, 3, 28 |
| October | 4, 13, 14 | 1, 28 |
| November | 3, 8, 15 | 30 |
| December | 2, 6, 13 | 18, 21, 25, 26, 30, 31 |
February 29 seems like a beautiful and original date for a wedding ceremony, but still not suitable for her. The waning moon symbolizes energy flowing away, a holiday arranged on this day will rather tire the newlyweds, rather than please them.And the scorpion, under whose auspices these lunar days are, promises partners a test of distrust and jealousy.
According to the church, adherence to pagan and other signs is not compatible with the Orthodox faith. Church tradition does not allow getting married only during the period of fasting and major Christian holidays. Leap year does not play any role here, so you can get married in 2024 and not be afraid of the consequences.
