On his birthday, the Higher Forces send good luck to a person, but if it is noted in advance, it turns out that the hero of the occasion wants to receive the coveted gift of fate twice
The one who disobeys is in danger of illness and misfortune. So where did this statement come from? Who invented it? Do I need to obey him?
Why can't you celebrate your birthday in advance?
Initially, the Slavs celebrated the day of the angel, the tradition of celebrating the date of birth came from the Americans. Over the years, everything has been confused and new signs have appeared. Moreover, our ancestors considered any phenomenon from the standpoint of the struggle between good and evil.
According to ancient Slavic beliefs, spirits of deceased relatives come to a person on his birthday, in addition to guests. Moreover, along with the well-tuned progenitors, evil spirits also look at the spark.
When the birthday person arranges the celebration ahead of time (or later), the good spirits cannot appear, because no one informs them about the postponement of the celebration. The souls of the deceased relatives, looking after the living descendants, take offense when they cannot attend the celebration, and stop helping the person.
But the forces of evil are right there, and no one bothers them to do whatever they want. An impatient birthday boy begins to get sick, weakens, troubles and troubles fall on him – these are dark entities that draw out vital energy from his body.
Such a coveted 'Mistress Fortune' also turns away from the one who cheats. On his birthday, the Higher Forces send good luck to a person, but if it is noted in advance, it turns out that the hero of the occasion wants to receive the coveted gift of fate twice. But luck leaves the 'deceiver'.
What can happen if you celebrate your birthday in advance?
Everyone understands that birth and death are inextricably linked. Each passed year mercilessly brings the date of death closer. When a person celebrates a birthday ahead of time, he seems to say to the Higher Forces: I am not able to mark the date on time. Thus, he may not live to see his next birthday.
In ancient times, it was believed that on the eve of the next anniversary of the birth, the negative, negative emotions accumulated over the year are dumped, the soul is cleansed and renewed. If a birthday is celebrated earlier, evil will not disappear, but will smoothly pass into the next year of life. Deprivation and misfortune will attack a person with tripled energy.
Popular wisdom says: on the eve of a person's birthday, guardian angels temporarily leave. In addition, the body has cellular memory. The body accumulates a 'sea' of information. About the time of birth, the body stores heavy memories of stress, huge loads.
It is believed that it is because of these memories that a person subconsciously prepares for something terrible – and it happens. On the eve of a birthday, people often experience accidents of varying severity.
Happy birthday in advance, and you can give a gift
Why can't you congratulate in advance?
Birthday in the life of a particular person is more important than New Year, Christmas, wedding anniversaries. On this day, guests raise glasses in honor of the birthday man, celebrate his birth. And what to congratulate a person with if the celebration takes place ahead of schedule? Happy future childbirth? In general, the meaning of the holiday is lost.
Pragmatic people find it absurd to congratulate the birthday person in advance if it can be done on time. Accepting congratulations, the person is in euphoria. At this moment, good wishes acquire special power, they are able to influence the fate of the birthday person. Why deprive the hero of the triumph of this pleasure?
Those who congratulate ahead of time 'steal' from the hero of the occasion good luck, happiness, health, well-being – everything that they want.
Do not forget that at the end of his annual cycle a person is weakened (after all, it is on his birthday that he receives a 'new portion' of energy from the Higher Forces for his future life). Anyone who congratulates in advance starts a new life cycle when the birthday person is not yet ready for it, so the whole next year will be unsuccessful.
Why you can't give a gift in advance
It is not always possible to personally attend a birthday party. What if you need to congratulate the birthday boy? In order not to fall into the category of ill-wishers, do not make gifts in advance. Today there are many ways to congratulate a person on time from anywhere in the world (gift certificates, courier delivery, money orders, and the like).
But there is an opinion that you cannot congratulate on your birthday in advance, but you can give a gift. At the same time, you need to say: 'I do not congratulate'. Premature gifts are of particular importance. For example, if a person is not doing well in one area or another, your gift will symbolize goodbye to failure. It matters what day before the birthday date to present the gift – it will drive away failures in a certain area of life:
- 12 – on this day it is worth giving items that help to establish peace of mind to a person who has often been in solitude lately.
- 11 is a gift that will help you avoid hobby-related failures.
- 10 – career, social status.
- 9 – travel, education.
- 8 – turning points, a gift that hints at what a person needs to refuse.
- 7 – partnership (if it is known that the birthday person is in a quarrel with someone, you need to give a symbol of peace).
- 6 – health, everyday life (items that facilitate daily work).
- 5 – creativity.
- 4 – home, family.
- 3 – intelligence.
- 2 – values (jewelry, accessories, etc.).
And on a birthday, you need to give everything that will help a person to advance in the future.

What if you were given a gift in advance?
A gift presented ahead of time by an ill-wisher can harm the birthday person, even if the donor did not do it on purpose. Such a gift needs to be mentally baptized, and say: 'I take only what I see, and what is invisible leave to yourself.'
When to celebrate a birthday for those born on February 29?
People find leap years to be difficult. Hardships, grief, obstacles on the way to the goal – all these problems accompany a year in which one day is missing. Superstitious people do not plan weddings or other important events.
It is already clear why it is impossible to celebrate a birthday in advance, but when to arrange a holiday for those born on February 29? Which date to choose: March 1 or February 28? It seems that the answer is obvious: it's better later than in advance, and even more so, it's uncomfortable to celebrate a birthday once every four years.
There is a scientifically based theory by German scientist Heinrich Hemme about when to have a holiday. Check your time of birth in a leap year:
- 00.00–06.00. Celebrate February 28th.
- 18.00–00.00. Reschedule the celebration until March 1st.
- 06.00-18.00. For the two years following the leap year, celebrate March 1, and your third birthday on February 28.
There is an interesting idea for those who absolutely need to arrange a celebration the day before the correct date. Announce to the invitees that you are not celebrating a birthday, but the last day, for example, the twenty-eighth year (if you are 28, but you must turn 29 tomorrow).
