Summer is in full swing, and with it comes wedding season—cue the scent of self-tanning on white satin, wilted magnolia blooms, cupcake towers, open bars and extortionate food bills.
While astrology can help you choose a partner, a sex toy, a sandwich, a university degree, an ice cream and a holiday destination, it can also help you choose the right date – for your big day.
Ready to help discern your ideal date for partner destiny is Iva Naskova, a psychic at Nebula – a platform that delivers astrology and psychic readings for relationship guidance.
Naskova tells The Post: “By aligning your wedding date with favorable planetary positions and astrological aspects; you have the opportunity to choose a day that beautifully captures the essence of your love story, strengthening the bond and promising a lasting union.”
It is elementary
In general, Naskova explains, choosing a date within the zodiac season that you or your partner were born or met is a favorable choice. This selection supports the belief that astrological influences are most beneficial during a period of solar return.
Naskova also recommends considering the elements of the zodiac when choosing a wedding date.
Fire signs: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are known for their energetic and passionate nature. Their fiery energy makes the summer months ideal for them to consider marriage. The warmth and vitality of the summer season matches their lively personality, making it a perfect setting for their celebrations.”
Naskova claims that earth signs Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are more likely to find harmonious events if they celebrate their weddings during the spring (March 21 to June 20) and autumn (September 23 to December 21) seasons.
She advises the air signs of the zodiac, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius to say yes in the months of June, September and January, respectively.
Naskova recommends that those born under the stars of water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, choose a summer or winter hitchhiking. “The allure of water and the magic of snow make these signs feel truly content and at home in their element.”
Moon and marriage
The moody moon sign changes roughly every 2.5 days, and some moon signs are more beneficial to tenants of long-lasting love and happy marriages than others.
Astrologer April Elliott Kent of Big Sky Astrology explains, “The Moon sign on your wedding day symbolizes the soul of your marriage—the home you make together, the pace and rhythm of your daily domestic life. What comforts you as a couple and nourishes your relationship?”
Exchanging vows under a Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Leo, Capricorn, or Pisces moon is considered a real boon for stability, education, compromise, fun, investment, and soul flooding, respectively.
In general, Aries, Gemini and Scorpio moons are considered less favorable for marriage ceremonies, but if you are brave enough to discuss foreplay, suspicion, polyamory and poetry (or polyamory poetry), go ahead. unfair stars, you do you.
Moon phases are also important to consider when making wedding plans.
The Moon represents our emotional inner self and each phase carries a different type of energy.
Full moons are culminations, when the light is bright, earthly matters are illuminated, emotions are most powerful, and screaming is most encouraged. It’s a symbolically beautiful time to hitch your wagon to another wanderer in the desert of love.
New moons mark the beginning of a lunar cycle and represent new beginnings, new life and pure potential. If you see marriage as a powerful point of opportunity and departure, the new moon is your bag.
Bonus: if you decide on an outdoor wedding, the stars will be more prominent under a new moon.
Planets in the game
As far as planets go, Jupiter is the great gas giant of good fortune, extraordinary luck, and riotous joy. Naskova recommends that engaged couples look in their natal chart to spot when Jupiter is transiting their natal sun, Venus or Jupiter, as these days are exceptional times to bond.
Venus – our planet of love and connection – is another important luminary to consider when setting a wedding date.
Naskova tells The Post: “For a favorable marriage chart, Venus must be strong and happy, which is usually the case when Venus is in the signs of Taurus, Libra or Pisces.”
8 days a week
Naskova also advises wedding planners to take it a step further and consider not just the date, but the day of the week that their wedding will take place.
“It is worth noting that the ancient Babylonians organized their calendar around 7 days of the week, with each day corresponding to one of the seven classical planets.”
“According to this tradition, Venus rules Friday, signifying the qualities of love and generosity. Therefore, Friday is considered an auspicious day for romantic and loving events such as weddings.”
Moreover, Saturday, ruled by Saturn, represents hard work, seriousness and responsibility, making it an auspicious day for solemnizing marriage. Finally, Sunday, associated with the Sun, is known for its wise, warm and powerful energy, making it an attractive choice for a lively and meaningful wedding ceremony.”
Moreover, Thursday belongs to the lucky planet Jupiter, which expands, blesses and gilds everything it touches, making it an excellent day to formalize the marriage and also an economical choice as midweek days are usually cheaper when you reserve seats.
When absolutely necessary NO have your wedding
Getting married when the moon is invalid is certainly forbidden. Astrologer Estelle Daniels describes this time period as the “off the clock” moon. The Moon is our emotional epicenter and needs the support of other planets to do its bidding, to create, to preserve, etc. When La Luna goes off the rails, she lacks the momentum and support needed to make things happen or marriages last.
Daniels explains, “This is not the time to do something that would have tangible results. Don’t sign a contract, make a commitment (unless you intend to keep it), or buy anything large or long-term (groceries are fine, but expect to forget something).
It is also not advisable to get legally married while Mercury is causing all the measures of retrograde horror. This doesn’t mean your marriage is doomed if you exchange vows during this transit, but complications and logistical mishaps are more likely to occur, putting a serious damper on your relationship.
For proof, see this honeymoon review.
When planning, remember that the pre- and post-retrograde shadow periods fall two weeks before and after the main event, so look for wedding dates beyond these boundaries.
The same goes for marriage during a Venus retrograde.
Retrogrades force us to slow down, re-examine and renegotiate topics related to the planet. In the case of Venus, our light of love, attraction and connection, this can translate to a case of cold feet, ennui or altar dancing.
Fortunately, Venus only goes retrograde once every 18 months for about six weeks, so it’s a short window of avoidance.
However, even if your wedding date falls directly into one of these difficult times, you can be sure that your union will be blessed and strengthened by the fires of adversity.
No matter when you plan your wedding, there are no mistakes, only opportunities. There are no failures, only enriching experiences and chilling anecdotes.
Here’s to letting love rule and the good times roll.
