Wedding - When is the best time?

If you want your marriage to be successful and happy, read this article. Check when is the best time to choose a wedding date.

When it comes to planning your wedding date, there are many superstitions and common habits. One of the most popular is the rule to avoid months without the letter "r". Another thing is that traditionally a bad month for a wedding is May, and sometimes November. When deciding to marry, couples who promise "fidelity to the grave" usually focus on the practical side of this choice, less often they ask if it has any magical or esoteric meaning. Statistics show that the most visited dates fall on holidays (Christmas, Wielkanoc, feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary), spring and summer months.

Late autumn and Advent are traditionally avoided, although according to a recent interpretation, the Catholic Church does not view Advent as a so-called forbidden (fast) period. Weddings during the Lenten period are rare, although permission can be obtained during the Lenten season by organizing romps.

What does astrology have to say about planning a wedding date? Well, almost since the dawn of the history of astrology, people involved in the great art of reading the stars have been worried about the issue of planning important events. This stream of royal knowledge is called elective astrology. The question of choosing the right date and time (horoscope) for an important event (coronation, outbreak of war, expedition, treaties) was one of the main activities of astrologers at court. Once these actions were carried out exclusively by astrologers in relation to large magnates: kings, emperors, bishops, popes, high officials and leaders.

No less important were the moments of the wedding at the royal courts. The royal wedding ceremony was an event of great public policy importance. Usually these were political alliances, trade deals or religious breakthroughs (the wedding of Jadwiga Andegavenskaya and Vladislav Jagiello, the wedding of Henry VIII). Thus, astrologers performed an extremely important, politically strategic function. They organized and directed key political, social and economic processes.

Nowadays, when astrology has gone under the roof, it is no longer reserved for the elite. There used to be very few astrologers. Sometimes only one in the court of a king, magnate or bishop. Now the basics of astrology can be mastered without any problems, although it is not easy to penetrate deep into its secrets and this is still relatively elite knowledge. These days, astrologers also choose the best time for important events and their clients are not like the kings of the past, but ordinary, normal people who want to help their happiness.

Optional astrology has evolved over the centuries into numerous and complex rules by which it chooses the best moment of an important event. Otherwise, the horoscope for buying an apartment will look perfect from the point of view of astrology, the horoscope for sending on a trip will be different, the horoscope for a wedding will be different ... You can look at the choice of such an event “positively” and “negatively”. A positive approach involves the search for the most favorable astrological systems. On the negative side - the avoidance of sinister and pernicious, as astrologers say, configurations. 'Cause we'll never find the perfect moment. It will always consist in choosing the most optimal moment in a given period of time, i.e. the wedding horoscope will contain some unfavorable configurations. But what kind of relationship and marriage is this, where there would be no shadows and gloomy moments ...

From an astrological point of view, the superstition about unlucky May can be partly explained by the fact that in this month the Sun enters a change of sign. Twinswhich in folk descriptions symbolizes inconstancy, betrayal, inconstancy. However, the Sun doesn't enter Gemini until around May 21st, so May isn't actually particularly unlucky astrologically. We may look for potentially adverse effects earlier in November. This is a month (its first three weeks) ruled by the dark and gloomy Scorpio and is not associated with optimism, joy and happiness. But almost every astrologer will object to this. For in the horoscope there are much more important patterns that affect success or failure, marriage and future marriage than the sign of the rule of the sun.

One of the best known and most important techniques in optional astrology is the so-called empty moon course. The Void of Finitude is the point in his journey when he will no longer form any important (Ptolemaic) aspect with other planets by the exit sign of his location. The moon is in this sign for about 2,5 days, so it enters the neutral course relatively often. Usually the idling does not last long, sometimes only a few minutes, and sometimes it can even last around the clock. Already in antiquity it was believed that the lunar course of the moon is an ominous moment. The moon, which in astrology is the sign of life, growth, development, flow, life energy and spiritual forces wasted, symbolizes weakness, deficiency, loss, suffering, which, as astrologers say, is "damaged".

Astrological tradition says that when the Moon is idle, one should refrain from very important undertakings, deeds, decisions and actions, especially those that may have long-term consequences. Wedding, that is, relationships and marriage, of course, refers to such important decisions.

The attentive reader will guess that it would be useful to know when this empty lunar course begins and ends. And although this is definitely not enough to accurately establish the date (and time) of the wedding, at least you can try to exclude those dates that account for an empty run. In practice, the astrologer, setting the date and time, also sets the horoscope of the event, which takes into account other equally important systems and configurations: the ascendant (rising sign), the position of the Sun and Moon in the corners (houses) of the horoscope, taking into account the aspects and strengths of the planets, and much other.

However, we can analyze a few of the most popular terms for the needs of our readers, checking, among other things, for the potential presence of an empty moon. And here we are in for a not necessarily pleasant surprise. The two potentially most attractive wedding days this semester - April 24 (Easter Sunday) and Saturday June 25 - are the days when the moon is empty almost around the clock! A rare occurrence when an empty run lasts almost a day, moreover, it falls on the best calendar days for a wedding. Thus, it would seem that Easter and the Saturday before the holidays, around the night of St. John on June 25.06, June XNUMX, should be ideal. Unfortunately they are not...
