According to folk signs and superstitions, the month of May is considered the most dangerous and unstable month of the year. Our ancestors never played weddings in May, built houses or started serious business. Why did this happen, and is May really a difficult month?
Wedding in May - the couple will have to suffer all their lives
It is believed that a wedding cannot be held in May, otherwise the newlyweds will not be happy in marriage. This superstition comes from the very name of the month - May, that is, to suffer, to suffer.
However, there is another version of the origin of the May wedding sign. This month was considered one of the most difficult periods of the year. The peasants needed to plow the land and plant vegetables, and in May the livestock walking season began. There was a lot to do, so people simply had no time for weddings.
Why you can’t baptize a child in May
It was also impossible to perform the baptism ceremony in May. May is the month of sowing, and baptism is a holiday on which it is forbidden to work. That is why the child's baptism was postponed until next month.
Those born in May will suffer all their lives
According to folk signs and superstitions, people born in May will suffer throughout their lives. Their fate will be filled with a large number of trials and difficulties. Why? Again, because May is considered a period for physical work. Previously, women deliberately caused premature labor just to avoid giving birth in May. They tried to give birth in March or April so that they could devote May to field work.
And those children who were born this month did not receive proper attention and care, since their mothers had to immediately go to the field. It turns out that from the first days the May child faced difficulties, which then affected his entire future life.
Should you believe bad omens and superstitions?
Astrologers have found an explanation for why May is a difficult and even dangerous month of the year. In May, the period of patronage of Gemini and Taurus begins. This is the most unstable and contradictory tandem of two Zodiac Signs. Geminis do not know how to listen and understand. Taurus are stubborn and persistent. It turns out that in May two completely opposite constellations collide, which find it very difficult to come to an agreement with each other and live in peace.
It turns out that by celebrating a wedding in May, newlyweds risk attracting misunderstandings into their family life. Difficulties also arise in your career. Things at work and communication with clients or partners may not go according to plan, since this month it is difficult to negotiate with people at all.
It turns out that May is a really difficult month in terms of relationships with people. Astrologers do not recommend making serious decisions, scheduling negotiations or playing weddings at this time. Take care of your health, family responsibilities, recreation, creativity or hobbies. This way you can make May a good month of the year. We wish you good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

May is the last month of spring, which corresponds to two completely opposite zodiac signs: Taurus and Gemini. Those born in May are also different, just like these zodiac signs. Representatives of the first half of May are more stable, balanced and grounded, but the second half are more like the wind, which is present everywhere and nowhere. This month is considered not the most successful for births and marriages. Thus, an ancient Slavic proverb says that you will have to suffer all your life.
Basic character traits
People born in May are successful in many areas, but most of all they achieve high results in politics, creativity and business. The main traits that are characteristic of May people are:
- sociability;
- sentimentality;
- emotionality;
- uncompromisingness;
- demandingness;
- integrity;
- determination;
- stubbornness;
- independence;
- kindness;

- love of freedom;
- unpredictability;
- optimism.
People born in May are incredibly sociable, they make acquaintances easily, love to travel, visit theaters, exhibitions, and participate in competitions. They are successful in financial matters and know how to increase their money. Endless kindness can often play a cruel joke on them, turning into imposed intentions that push people away. They do not make decisions easily, often consult with others or seek time alone to think things through.
May people are very inquisitive, they are capable of science, strive to learn new things and have excellent intellectual abilities. Despite his innate sociability, a May person can rarely open his soul to anyone. He always has his own opinion and rarely stays away. With any manifestation of kindness, people born in May are ready to forgive any wrongdoing.
Health of people born in May
People born in May enjoy good health and, if they manage to maintain peace of mind, they almost never get sick. The body of these people is significantly influenced by their mental state. The most common diseases among people in May are:
- respiratory diseases;
- kidney problems;
- cardiovascular diseases.
To stay healthy, May people need to use the energy given by nature in the right way, for the benefit of other people, without overloading themselves.
Taurus in May - characteristics of the zodiac sign
Those who appeared from May 1-10 are distinguished by a great desire to achieve the goal. Moreover, this turns into real mania. As children they are very gentle and affectionate. They love to sit on your arms and be hugged and kissed. True, girls can boast of male hobbies, such as climbing trees and playing football. But with age they blossom into beautiful and sophisticated ladies. Stubbornness manifests itself early when a child refuses to try on this or that wardrobe item. He can stand in the corner all night, but he won’t give up his position. This tendency does not disappear with age, but Taurus becomes more careful. He feels responsible for everything and therefore will never scratch his father’s car or break his mother’s set. His health may deteriorate due to the habit of working to the limit of his capabilities. This applies to literally everything he does. Therefore, Taurus often bring themselves to exhaustion, overeat and go too far with doses of alcohol. He simply cannot stop, and it is almost impossible to influence him. A sedentary lifestyle also interferes. Therefore, diet and exercise are beneficial for them.
Love, friendship and family
People born in May have a keen sense of others, know how to empathize and sympathize, they are reliable and loyal friends who will always come to the rescue and will not leave you in trouble. Thanks to his innate intuition, a May person can easily distinguish a sincere person from an envious person. You can always have an interesting and fun time with him; these optimists know how to charge with their energy. But if it happened that a friend of the May man betrayed him, he will remember this betrayal for a long time and will not miss the opportunity to take revenge if necessary.
Those born in the first half of May are more stable in relationships, they create strong families and are not too emotional, which, in turn, affects family relationships. They love luxury very much and prefer to live with an unloved person, but in abundance, than with a loved one in a hut. Those born in the second half of May have a hard time building stable relationships; if something doesn’t suit them, they can quickly break off any connection, no matter how long it lasts. Even if the action was committed out of emotion, and the May person regrets it, he will never admit it.
Non-conflict, the ability to find compromises, a balanced character - all this characterizes May people as excellent diplomats in literally all areas: in the family, among friends, at work. And although such people do not become the life of the party, marriages with them turn out to be stable and strong, and cases of divorce are extremely rare. In addition, it has long been noted that almost all those born in May are most often monogamous. The main task of parents of May children can be called caring for their health.
This need is due to the fact that such babies are much more likely than March or April babies to develop diseases associated with the respiratory tract (allergies, asthma).
Frequent colds do not bypass them either, so it is better to start hardening the child almost from the first days of life. May babies are not at risk of obesity; They are more likely than other people their age to enjoy outdoor games and active recreation. By the way, their leadership can be perfectly demonstrated in sports.
Children born in May have an excellent chance of longevity. And this will be guaranteed by their prudence, which is combined with hard work (not to be confused with workaholism!), balanced character and prudence.
Raising such kids will not be difficult: parents only need to guide their child in the right direction, and everything else - thoughtfulness, diligence and faith in success - is already inherent in the children of May.
They usually immediately find a common language with others and rarely enter into conflicts, trying to resolve all disputes peacefully. Little “diplomats” strive for knowledge, learn from their mistakes, admit defeat, and quickly draw conclusions from the lessons learned.
But the most important qualities that nature has endowed with May children are patience and unhurriedness. We can say that their birth is directly related to the saying: “If you hurry, you make people laugh!”
True, this slowness is often hidden from the eyes of others and is mistaken for uncertainty, which sometimes burdens the child himself. In this case, the main thing that parents need to do is to be able to convince their child that he is able to achieve everything on his own.
But here it is important not to overdo it: those children who always strive for leadership may delay the implementation of their ideas, since they will analyze situations too often and think for a long time about ways to achieve goals.
And if the goals remain on the margins of current events, in a “suspended” state, this may serve a disservice in the future. However, the character of the May child is stable in itself.
And since it is impossible to exert external influence on him, then it is better to choose a name for such a baby that is “calm” and neutral. For boys, Gleb, Victor, Alexander, Ivan, Kirill, Georgy, Maxim, Roman, Dmitry are suitable. For girls - Christina, Alexandra, Elena, Elizaveta, Tamara, Maria, Claudia, Irina.

Birthday horoscope
General astrological characteristics of May
The zodiac sign Taurus, which rules the month of May, begins its influence on April 19, however, during the first seven days it acts together with the previous sign, and gains full strength only on April 26. From this day until May 20, this sign is at the zenith of its power. Then, over the course of seven days, it gradually loses its power as the next sign, Gemini, ruled by Mercury (high), begins to exert increasing influence. People born during this period are under the influence of the sign of Taurus, which is also called the House of Venus (high). This is one of the fixed signs of the Zodiac, the first House of Triton of the Earth. “Taurus” is characterized, as follows from the association with the name itself, perseverance in achieving goals, perseverance and obsession. However, people born under this sign after May 21 lose a significant part of their strong-willed qualities and stubbornness, since they begin to be influenced by the incoming sign of Gemini, the first House of the trine of Air. As a result, people in the first half of May have more favorable character traits and life prognosis than people at the end of this month. In some aspects of the character he shapes, Taurus is one of the most controversial signs of the Zodiac. People born during this period, namely from April 19 to May 20, as well as during the transition period until May 27, have traits that are usually based on perseverance and patience, unless anger or complete injustice sets them off. They are very stubborn in their determination and are often said to have bullish stubbornness and obsession. And yet, when, for example, love enters their lives, they are influenced more easily than anyone else, provided that this influence comes only from the one person who managed to awaken affection in them. They are known for their endurance, both physical and mental, so long as their determination remains intact they can withstand any challenge. They are highly sociable, and there is nothing greater for them than to entertain and entertain friends or loved ones. They are excellent hosts and housewives who show sophistication in preparing meals and, if necessary, become excellent cooks. They have an artistic sense of home decor, can arrange furniture beautifully, and know how to make even the most ordinary household items look attractive. They have an innate art of dramatic exits and appearances, “feel the role” and perform excellently in any role in the play called life. As a rule, they are considered richer than they actually are, but they themselves give reason for this, because in general they sometimes tend to “fluff their peacock tail.” In relationships with people, they are largely guided by momentary emotions and sensations, but deep affection plays a greater role than passion. Men of this sign usually have broad shoulders, a thick neck and large eyebrows. Women have full breasts and tend to have small arms and legs. In love and sexual relationships, they give and give without reserve. If they love, then no sacrifice is too much for them, but if they hate, then they are ready to fight with bullish obsession until death. As a rule, they fight honestly and openly, and therefore it is difficult for them at first, but once their blood boils, they no longer know what concession or submission is. They are very sensitive to their surroundings and often fall into a painful melancholic state if they lead a meager existence in unfavorable conditions. Neither men nor women born under this sign should marry early: their first love and marriage union, as a rule, , is a mistake, and yet they are for the most part precocious and marry early. “Taurus” of both sexes in their affections are prone to manifestations of jealousy, which can push them to cruel, rash acts, which they will bitterly regret when the passion passes. They are ready to forgive at the slightest manifestation of the best feelings and kindness, and this side of nature forces them to do things that are quite stupid from a philistine point of view. As leaders, they inspire love and devotion and often take on great responsibility. They have an innate sense of harmony of rhythm and color and often achieve success in the pursuit of music, poetry, art, but (curiously) they, as a rule, lack the desire for personal gain, and this prevents them from using their talents to maximum advantage, except for those , who were born on certain dates, which will be discussed below. Persons born under this sign become loyal, devoted friends, excellent public figures, officials, government officials, and occupy positions in the army and navy. They make kind and patient nurses, nurses, doctors, and almost all of them have a clear love of gardening, floriculture and life in the open air. If the birth occurs after May 21, a decent part of the strong-willed qualities and perseverance is lost, under the influence of the sign of Gemini, which is gradually coming into force. As a result, birth in the first half of the month is more favorable in terms of prospects for predicting life success. The most harmonious relationships among Taurus people will develop with partners born under the same sign, in the period from April 19 to May 20, under the sign of Virgo (from August 21 to September 20), under the sign of Capricorn (from December 21 to 20 January), as well as in the seven transition days at the beginning and end of each of the mentioned signs. Relationships are also favorable with people born at the opposite time of year, i.e. from October 21 to November 20-27.
