How To Choose the Date of Your Wedding With Astrology

Astrology can help you start your relationship off on the right note. Each planet's position on your wedding day offers a glimpse into your future marriage. The sun's position shows the shared goal you and your spouse are working toward; Venus describes how you show affection to one another; the moon is the window into your emotional intimacy; Saturn provides the structure and discipline you need to build a life together; and so on. You can find a wedding date that complements your relationship using this information.

When selecting a wedding date with astrology, experts suggest starting with Venus, the planet of love, romance, and marriage. Experts agree that a strong wedding chart should feature a well-supported Venus, ideally with a positive connection to the moon. Venus thrives in the signs of her rulership and exaltation (Taurus, Libra, and Pisces), and you'll want to avoid getting married during Venus retrograde. 

Speaking of retrogrades, Mercury retrograde is another no-go for your dream wedding. When the planet of communication takes a cosmic backspin, anything can go wrong. Not only is this retrograde famous for miscommunication and mishaps, but it can also cause problems with your legal paperwork. Mercury stations retrograde three to four times a year, so this one can be tricky to avoid. If you do get married during Mercury retrograde, do yourself a favor and wait until after the retrograde ends to file your marriage license.

Finally, you'll want to keep a close eye on the moon during your big day. In astrology, your moon sign shows what you need to feel emotionally satisfied and fulfilled by your partner. It reveals how you seek comfort in love and how you nurture others. Choosing a wedding day where the moon is positively supported by the sun and/or Venus is an excellent way to strengthen the bond between the happy couple. The different moon phases each bring a unique energy to each day. So, pay attention to the position of la luna when choosing a wedding date.
