How to choose the best auspicious date for a wedding?

Introduction: It is a traditional custom of the Chinese people to choose an auspicious day to hold a wedding. This deeply rooted concept has been maintained to this day. However, the lives of modern people are different from those in ancient times, and the pace of life is also different, so the method of choosing an auspicious day for marriage also needs to keep pace with the times. Below, please see the relevant introduction of this article. Mr. Shui Mo’s Feng Shui special topic contains more articles about Feng Shui, allowing you to understand Feng Shui knowledge more quickly.

"Selecting a date", which is commonly known as "looking at the date" or "picking a date", is one of the important customs in our traditional Chinese folk culture. Therefore, the Chinese people attach great importance to the date and time of marriage. Therefore, choosing a wedding date before marriage plays an important role in the marriage of newlyweds. As the saying goes, "Everything is difficult at the beginning", choosing an auspicious day means choosing a good start for the newlyweds' marriage. Only if the beginning is smooth will everything go smoothly in the rest of their married life. Therefore, “choosing a date for marriage” should not be taken lightly. So can the issue of choosing a wedding date be solved by just looking at the almanac? Of course not. The correct way is to combine the birth dates of the two newlyweds to determine the auspicious month, day and time for the wedding. Below I will briefly introduce the relevant precautions for your reference, and I hope it will be inspiring and helpful to you.

first step

Based on the eight characters of both people's destiny (that is, the specific year, month, day and time of birth of the man and woman), avoid unfavorable months. As the saying goes, "Boys depend on the year they are born, and girls depend on the year they get married." When choosing a date for a wedding, in addition to considering the horoscopes of the two newlyweds, the bride's date of birth should also be the main consideration. It is best to avoid unfavorable marriage months for the woman and choose favorable months for her. There is a saying here: "The first seven months are for rooster and rabbit, the twenty-eighth months are for tiger and monkey, the thirty-nine days are for snake and pig, the forty days are for dragon and dog, the fifty-one days are for ox and sheep, and the sixty-two days are for rat and horse." That is to say, if the woman's zodiac sign is rooster or rabbit, then it is appropriate to get married in the first or seventh month, while that of tiger and monkey is appropriate to get married in the second or eighth month, and so on.

Step 2

Choose an auspicious day and time. After choosing the month for the wedding, the next step is to choose an auspicious day and time. There are a few things to note here, namely, you must avoid the three evil days, which are the third, seventh, thirteenth, eighteenth, twenty-second and twenty-seventh days of the lunar calendar each month. According to legend, Sanniang likes to go against Yue Lao and specifically ruin the marriages of newlyweds. At the same time, we should also avoid festivals such as "Qingming", "Yulan" and "Chonggong", because they are all traditional "ghost festivals" and it is not appropriate to hold weddings during them. At the same time, the auspicious day chosen should also avoid the anniversary of the death of immediate relatives.

Step 3

Avoid days and times that conflict with your zodiac sign. The so-called clashes are: Rat and Horse, Ox and Sheep, Tiger and Monkey, Rabbit and Rooster, Dragon and Dog, Snake and Pig. There are six groups of conflicts in total. People born in the Year of the Rat should avoid the month and day of noon, and so on. Because conflict means separation, the wedding date should avoid the day that conflicts with the zodiac signs of both newlyweds.

Step 4

Holidays are a good choice. Anyone who has had this experience knows that if the day chosen is a weekday, there will be many inconveniences, such as many relatives and friends not being able to attend. Therefore, choosing traditional holidays can avoid the possibility that friends may not be able to attend. For example, May Day, National Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc. are all holidays celebrated by the whole country. Choosing these special days is more commemorative. At the same time, through the auspiciousness of the festival, you can also add some luck and interest to your marriage.

Mr. Shui Mo's warm reminder: Modern people generally choose holidays to hold weddings, but one thing that should be noted is that in addition to making it convenient for relatives and friends to attend, the holiday chosen should also take into account the fate of both the newlyweds and be compatible with their fate.
