It is believed that Kasyan, one of the followers of Christ, refused to help the farmer pull out the stuck cart, which Christ asked him to do, but Nikolai, who was walking next to him, did it. According to legend, Christ said: “You have done a good deed, Nicholas. People will remember you twice a year - in May and December.

Often we are drawn to certain people out of pure passion, even though we know they are not the right person for us in the long run. In astrology, zodiac signs of their own or related elements are traditionally considered compatible. Thus, earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo) are compatible with the signs of their earth element or water element(Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces).

For its part, Virgo will keep Sagittarius from reckless actions and make them think about the consequences. These two will have a relationship of constant attraction and repulsion, which will create a unique chemistry in bed. As a rule, these signs meet in their youth in high school and stay together despite their differences. 5. Capricorn and Aquarius These signs will have a connection because both have Saturn as their co-ruler - the planet of limitations and karma. Capricorn is a traditionalist and respects rules and boundaries, expecting the same from others. Aquarius is a rebel who hates boundaries and always tries to break them.

Without knowing it, Aries will hurt Cancer and feel guilty for simply being themselves. 10. Pisces and Sagittarius Both signs are co-ruled by Jupiter - the planet of expansion and luck. Both signs rely on external forces in matters of direction in life, they love knowledge and the spiritual side of life, which is reflected in the intimate sphere. However, Sagittarius is a man of action and pursues his goals when luck is on his side. Pisces is a water sign that likes to read the intentions of other people and relies on them to act as directed. Sagittarius is fine with this, but doesn't want to deal with the consequences if he makes the wrong decision. This will disappoint Sagittarius, and Pisces will be offended when they are told that they will have to do everything themselves. Since both signs are changeable, they can easily adapt to each other's shortcomings, but their approaches are not the same. 11. Leo and Capricorn Both of these signs love status and authority, and this is what will attract them to each other. Leo is a good-natured and passionate sign, while Capricorn is cool-headed and practical. They look at everything differently, although their values do not coincide. Leo has strong ego and feeling self-esteem, which is easy to shake if you ignore it. Capricorn will put Leo in his place, pointing out his shortcomings with the help of constructive criticism. This can either turn on Leo, who is not used to someone going that far, or it can infuriate him. In turn, Leo can bring a lot of light into the dark nature of Capricorn. However, this is one of the most difficult couples, since both will find it difficult to live up to each other’s expectations. 12. Taurus and Libra This pair will have a special romantic spirit, as both are ruled by the planet Venus. Venus wants beauty and harmony, which at first glance may be a good basis for compatibility. However, Taurus needs comfort and relies on tactile perception and taste. At the same time, Libra loves aesthetically beautiful things, and relies on visual sensations and smell. This will bring a lot of sensuality to their couple, but both signs will consider the other dependent. Libra needs emotional security, while Taurus will be possessive and needs physical security. Libra loves to flirt and this will be a problem for Taurus as they want to know that their partner is all theirs.

The leap year caused particular trepidation and fear among our ancestors. At this time, many unpleasant and sad events happened, and most often people associated them with the advent of a leap year.
Not only did this period bring misfortunes, but two more years after it were considered unsuccessful. So, 2018 is the year of the widow or widower, judging by the beliefs of our ancestors, so some couples who truly believe in the veracity of these words do not want to organize wedding processions during the period in question.
The whole point is that marriages entered into in the year of the widow or widower were considered doomed and often ended in the death of the husband or wife.
To understand the dangers of the widowhood period, let's look at the history of the leap year. This term first appeared in 45 BC, when the Roman emperor Caesar ordered to add to one of winter months day to get rid of the backlog in the current calendar.
As you can see, the origin of a leap year is not associated with any dangerous or sad events, so there is no need to be afraid of troubles, both in a leap year and in the years after it.
The Orthodox Church also does not approve folk superstitions, which encourage people to give up marriage in the next two years after a leap year. The clergy agree with the official statistics, and therefore do not attribute the misfortunes of the people to an extra day in the winter.
What does 2018 promise?
Proponents of the widow theory are sure that it will be the year of the widower. This means that after a few years, the husband will lose his wife and become a widower. Losing a spouse can be caused by illness, accident or any other misfortune.
It is worth noting that things happen to people at all times. tragic events who take away the most worthy representatives from life human race. Not necessarily, the whole burden of problems falls on us during a leap year.
Spouses constantly get divorced or lose a loved one, but this does not mean that they spend the rest of their lives alone. After the pain in their soul subsides, a healing and sweet feeling - love - comes to the person again.
There is another theory - 2018 will not be the year of the widower, but the year of the “black” widow. This period is characterized early death the husband of the one who took the risk and got married. In addition, even after the death of her husband, a woman will not be able to connect her fate with anyone else until the end of her days, and if the marriage takes place, then the newly-made husband will also go to another world after some time.
Note that 2018 cannot possibly be a widow’s year, since 2013 already was.
Signs for the year of a widow or widower
As you know, throughout the year, people who get married will experience discomfort and misunderstanding on the part of their other half. Superstitions say that one of the spouses will be destined to become a widow within a short period of time.
However, if you look at the statistics, you can understand that tragedies happen in other years, so linking them with a leap year is, to say the least, stupid.
Nowadays, there are not many people who firmly believe in the negativity of leap years. Civil registry office employees claim that the number of couples wishing to legalize their relationship is increasing every year. They are not afraid of the possible, sad consequences that the years of a widow or widower bring with them.
According to the signs that the Year of the Dog has in store for us, marriages in 2018 are doomed to be happy and strong, because this animal is a symbol of family and tranquility. Each spouse will treat their family responsibilities with respect great responsibility and appreciate all the good that is in each other.
What do astrologers say?
Of course, it is difficult for people who are fanatically interested in horoscopes and predictions to put aside all superstitions. Astrologers try to understand the situation of each of us, so they have identified several unsuccessful periods for marriage:
- Venus retrograde days;
- Mercury retrograde days;
- Full Moon Days;
- Days of lunar eclipses.
If you are afraid of angering fate, then try to avoid going to the registry office within the specified time frame. Then your soul will be calm, and you will not associate failures in marriage with your carelessness.
Love can move mountains!
As we see, many believe that 2018 will be unfavorable time for marriages. But it is worth noting that even at the most happy year Tragedies, divorces, deaths and other disasters happen.
Before you legalize a relationship with your loved one, you need to take a closer look at him, understand his soul and study his habits. In a marriage, people must trust each other and provide daily support and understanding. There is no need to attribute failures to leap years or other signs.
Our entire life depends entirely on the actions we perform, and not on the position of the planets in the sky. Anyone who believes in superstitions, fears the year of a widow or widower, may spend his life “in wenches” until old age and not feel all the delights of a happy marriage.
