May signs - myth or reality?

There are many different signs regarding wedding chores, especially if the plans include a wedding in May. There is an opinion that the newlyweds, who legalized their relationship on May 13, will never be happy, they will definitely divorce. They say this about marriage this month: “Marry in May - then toil together all your life.” But is there any truth to this statement? Are there any advantages, disadvantages of holding a ceremony at this time?

May Marriage Benefits

So, a wedding at the end of May is an extraordinary event. Statistics show that this spring month, the minimum number of applications from spouses is submitted to the registry office. But this fact is an indisputable advantage for those who decide to sign. A wedding in May will be much cheaper from a material point of view.

Youngthey can easily negotiate with the host of the festive evening, find a good photographer. In addition, there is a real chance to count on a significant discount, because many photographers, stylists, florists offer it for those “daring couples” who were not afraid to get married in May days. The warm spring sun, the gentle rays of which touch the bride's face, seems to refute all distrust of May weddings.

Slavic calendar

In the Slavic calendar, Lelya is interpreted as the patroness of happiness, love, female beauty. In Latin, May was named after Maya, the goddess of mountains, the beloved daughter of the god Zeus. Maya was considered the patroness of renewal, fertility, seduction. It would seem that the logic is completely absent, because it is in May that nature wakes up, while customs forbid getting married this month.

Why is it undesirable to have a wedding in May?

So the wedding is scheduled for May. Signs say that life will not be young, the family will be full of problems and scandals. Such a belief was formed a long time ago, there are several versions of its appearance. It is likely that May weddings were not encouraged due to the fact that it was at this time that there was a lot of work in the fields and barnyards. If they missed precious time, spent it on wedding chores, then in winter such newlyweds were waiting for real hunger. Beloved hungry husband no longer seemed so dear and desirable, it was his wife who accused them of being left without supplies because of the wedding party.

In Russia it was acceptedcelebrate the wedding not a day, but from three to a whole week. By May, food supplies from last year were practically destroyed, new vegetables and fruits had not yet been grown, there was nothing to feed the guests at the wedding. May in Ancient Russia was aimed at taking care of the new harvest, there was no time to be distracted, spend time on wedding ceremonies and feasts.

The wedding in May was absolutely uncomfortable, and therefore there was a belief that, having married at this time, they suffer all their lives. In the May folk calendar, every day was associated with plowing, a dog, and walking livestock. It is likely that our ancestors "invented" the myth that a wedding in May is undesirable. Signs and traditions gradually changed, but this one has come down to our days. In their beliefs, the common people proceeded precisely from the peculiarities of life, devoting May to habitual, everyday affairs, and not to wedding festivities and idleness.

Matchmaking in May

On St. George's Day, that is, May 6, it was customary to talk about a future wedding, but the solemn ceremony itself was not held in Russia at that time. According to the old style, May 6 fell on April 23, that is, matchmaking was still carried out in the previous month. May was completely devoted to worries about the future harvest. According to the old custom, on Jacob's Day (May 13, according to the new style, and April 30, according to the old style), there should not have been the slightest hint of a future betrothal, any talk about the wedding was considered offensive.

Time of evil spirits

May in ancient times was considered the time of "evil spirits". It is quite possible that due tosuperstition postponed the wedding in May. Signs forced people to refuse to marry, since the wife this month “got it from the evil one”, and real “viols”, and not he althy children, will be born.

According to legend, witches at that time took the form of beautiful women, lured men, and then squeezed the “juice” out of them, made life unbearable. Times have changed, but whether a wedding is needed in May, whether it is worth filing an application with the registry office this month - doubts remain.

May astrology

Astrologers claim that the astrological signs Gemini and Taurus rule this month. Both zodiac signs are very controversial, complex, prone to conflict. Due to the inability to listen, Gemini is not able to find a common language with business partners, a spouse.

Those people who get married during this period will play in public, try to show others that everything is fine in the family, there are no problems. It is this behavior that leads to distrust, insincerity and causes the destruction of the family. Taurus and Gemini, astrologers assure, will constantly “interfere” in the relationship of the young with some third party (mother-in-law, mother-in-law), the family will have a lot of envious people and competitors.

According to astrological indicators, a wedding in May is undesirable. Features of the zodiacal arrangement of the planets are such that marriage is doomed to fragility, complexity in relationships.

About May numerology

May is characterized by the number "five". This number is associated with travel andindependent decisions aimed at individual well-being. Marriage, which will be concluded in May, according to numerology, will be devoid of harmony. People who have decided to become legal spouses are obliged to respect and value each other, and not to pursue selfish interests in marriage.

The number "five" does not imply harmony, there is a desire to "live only for yourself." Any reminders of duty, obligations, in the "May family" end in mutual reproaches and insults.
