How we chose these dates

Choosing a date by the sky is an old branch of astrology called electional astrology. We used its most common rules for weddings and checked every day of 2027 at 3 PM US Eastern time, a usual time for a ceremony:

  • No retrograde of Mercury, Venus or Mars. Mercury rules agreements, Venus love, Mars drive; a retrograde is read as a time to review rather than to begin.
  • Not within three days of an eclipse. Eclipses are read as sudden turning points, not a calm start.
  • A growing Moon, from the day after the New Moon up to the Full Moon, read as support for something that should grow.
  • The Moon in Taurus, Cancer, Libra or Pisces: the Moon's strongest signs and two signs of Venus.

These are general rules for everyone. A date that also suits both partners' birth charts needs a personal look; the compatibility reading compares two charts. For your own year, see your 2027 horoscope.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What are the best wedding dates in 2027 by astrology?

By the classic rules of astrology, 31 days in 2027 suit a wedding best, 4 of them on a Saturday. They fall in April, May, June, July, August, September, November and December. The rules avoid every retrograde of Mercury, Venus and Mars and the days around an eclipse, and ask for a growing Moon in Taurus, Cancer, Libra or Pisces. In all, 16 Saturdays at least avoid the retrogrades and eclipses.

Is 2027 a good year to get married, astrologically?

Yes, with some planning. Venus does not turn retrograde in 2027, which astrologers count as a plus for love. The weeks to avoid are the retrogrades (Mars January 10 to April 1; Mercury February 9 to March 3; Mercury June 10 to July 4; Mercury October 7 to October 28) and the days around the five eclipses.

Why avoid Mercury retrograde for a wedding?

Mercury is linked with agreements, travel and communication. Astrologers traditionally avoid signing contracts during its retrograde, and a wedding is a contract, so the weeks are read as better for planning than for the ceremony itself.

Why does the Moon matter for a wedding date?

In electional astrology, the art of choosing a date, a growing Moon is read as support for something that should grow. Taurus and Cancer are the Moon's strongest signs, Libra and Pisces are signs of Venus, the planet of love.

What if our date is not on the list?

Then it simply misses one or more of these traditional rules. Many happy couples marry on other days. A personal reading can check a date against both partners' charts, which matters more than any general list.

Which time of day did you check?

Each day was checked at 3 PM US Eastern time, a usual time for a ceremony. On a few days the Moon changes sign during the day, so a morning or evening ceremony can give a different result.
