Wedding Astrology 101:

So, you said yes.

The ring is sparkling, your heart’s doing cartwheels, and before the happy buzz has even worn off… someone inevitably asks:
“So when’s the wedding?”

Cue the spreadsheets, Pinterest boards, and guest list debates. But before you dive into cake tastings or dress fittings, let’s zoom out…way out!
Because in astrology, the moment you say your vows becomes the birth chart of your marriage!
And that means choosing your wedding date is more powerful than you might think.

Welcome to wedding electional astrology, the art of choosing a wedding date that’s written in the stars!

Bit of history:

In countries like India, China, and Japan, the practice of selecting auspicious wedding dates based on astrology is deeply rooted in tradition and culture.

• In India, the chosen auspicious time for the wedding is known as the “muhurat.” It is believed that getting married during a favorable muhurat can bring blessings and happiness to the couple. Each couple’s Muhurat is unique, tailored to their specific astrological configurations. The astrological chart, or kundali, of the bride and groom plays a pivotal role in determining the ideal timing for their union. Factors such as the positions of the moon, sun, and planets are meticulously analyzed to identify auspicious periods.

• In China, the lunar calendar is often consulted for selecting wedding dates. Certain dates are considered more auspicious based on lunar phases and astrological significance. Feng Shui principles may also influence the choice of wedding dates to ensure positive energy flow and harmony in the marriage. Another important point is the “Emperor’s Star” (Regulus). Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation Leo, is associated with power, authority, and leadership. When it comes to marriage predictions, the Emperor’s Star is believed to influence the quality and longevity of the relationship. The Bazi, “Four Pillars of Destiny”, which is derived from a person’s birth year, month, day, and time, is another important component. This system provides insights into personality traits, strengths, weaknesses, and compatibility.

• In Japan, one common practice is to consult the Rokuyo calendar, which divides the days into six categories. (sensho, tomobiki, senbu, butsumetsu, taian, and shakko). Couples aim to avoid inauspicious times like butsumetsu (Buddha’s Day) and choose a day with positive energy, such as taian (best day) or shakko (good luck). The season and timing of the wedding are also important factors. Different seasons are associated with specific meanings and symbolism. Couples may choose a date that aligns with their preferences or cultural significance.
  
  

In these countries, the practice of selecting auspicious wedding dates based on astrology is deeply intertwined with cultural beliefs, traditions, and the desire for a harmonious and prosperous union. Many couples follow these traditional customs in order to receive blessings and ensure a positive beginning to their marriage.

In Western astrology, a wedding election is about choosing a date and time where the energy of the day works in harmony with both partners’ natal charts. Here are a few key things we look at:

Some of the key points:

• The positions of the Sun and Moon are crucial factors. A harmonious aspect between the Sun and the Moon is often desired, symbolizing the union of the masculine and feminine energies.
• The position of the Benefic planets; Venus, Jupiter and The Malefics: Mars, Saturn.
• Favorable aspects between planets, such as trines (120 degrees), sextiles (60 degrees), and conjunctions (0 degrees), are sought after. These aspects signify harmony, cooperation, and alignment of energies.
• It is advisable to avoid scheduling the wedding during a void of course Moon period, which occurs when the Moon makes no major aspects before leaving its current sign. This time is considered unfavorable for beginning something new, and marriage signifies a new chapter in the couple’s lives.
• Full Moon: the intense energy of a full moon can create discordant vibrations that may not be conducive to a harmonious and peaceful wedding ceremony.
• New Moon is considered lucky for new beginnings.
• Retrograde planets may indicate delays or the need to revisit certain issues in the marriage. (Venus retrograde should be avoided)
