Leap Day Meaning

Everyone knows what a leap year is: a year with 366 days. But did you know that a leap day is special not only because it appears every four years but due to its unique spiritual powers?

A leap year. Time to find out what it means, spiritually!

Numerology of the leap day

Due to the leap day’s numerological significance, it was considered to be extremely powerful and influential for centuries. It creates energy that allows us to move forward and change ourselves.

According to numerology, the universe is a large system that can be broken down into simpler, smaller elements, such as numbers. They can be used to read the Universe, your life, and us.

Here’s how to analyze February 29 from the point of view of numerology: you just need to sum.

2 + 9 = 11

11 is a master number that has its own very special essence – that’s why it shouldn’t be broken down to 1+1. Under the energy of this number, we grow, feel inspired, creative, and brave.

2 (because February is the second month of the year) has a different energy. It goes right after 1, the number of leadership, and contains the meaning of pursuing your goals and dreams. It has some feminine vibes and is often associated with wisdom and a deep understanding of life. Due to its energy, we feel love, peace, and harmony.

Both these numbers, 2 and 11, represent the energy of the leap year. They make us feel loved, protected, and calm; they activate our healing powers and make us stronger. It’s a great year to find a soulmate and move forward in your projects.

To take advantage of the leap year, you need to be extremely careful and attentive. Make sure to notice signs around you – these little clues will help you achieve your goals.

What to do?

So, how to feel these energies and notice signs?

It’s pretty easy, actually. Meditation will help you feel calmer and closer to Mother Earth. Get into a comfortable position (choose the position that suits you – the lotus pose is not necessary if it’s too extreme for you). Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and imagine bright green roots coming from your feet and being connected to the earth. Imagine that our planet nourishes you. Feel its energy.

Be mindful. Do everything slower than usual (if it’s possible without missing deadlines and irritating the hell out of your co-workers). Pay attention to the present moment. Be aware of your surroundings. Make sure to spend more time in nature and feel the peaceful energy of trees and flowers. Take deep breaths while walking in your nearest park and notice how beautiful nature is!

More ideas

Since your first chakra’s energy is based on the earth element, make sure to pay more attention to it. Learn how to balance it: spending some time in nature will help you with that but there are some additional things to be done. Buy a red crystal (red jasper, red carnelian, etc.) and carry it with you in your pocket or your purse.

Eat more root vegetables, wear red and orange clothes (if you look terrible in red, try getting a red case for your smartphone), and practice yoga (try, for example, Uttanasana and Malasana: they are easier than they sound). Listening to relaxing music will help as well.

And one more thing... Ask the Universe to help you, be specific in what you want, and your dearest, wildest dreams will come true this year!
