When should I get married according to astrology?

According to astrologers, a new moon, full moon, supermoon, blue moon, or the summer solstice are good times for anyone to get married. If you want to get married based on your specific birth chart, schedule your big day for when Jupiter is in your 7th house or during your Saturn return.

When to Get Married Based on Your Birth Chart

  1. 1
    Plan your wedding for a date when Jupiter is in your 7th house. Jupiter is the planet of luck and expansion, and the 7th house is the house of marriage and partnerships. When these two energies team up, you get the perfect time for a wedding! You can use an astrology website or app to make a birth chart and figure out when Jupiter will be transiting your 7th house, then plan from there! [1]
  2. 2
    Consider getting married around the time of your Saturn return. Your Saturn return occurs when the planet Saturn returns to the same sign it was in on the day you were born. It takes Saturn about 29 years to cycle through all 12 zodiac signs, so your Saturn return will occur when you are around 29 years old. This period is filled with self-discovery, greater responsibility, and laying the foundations for the future you want. As a result, many astrologists consider the period of your Saturn return to be a good time for life changes like getting married or having children. [2]

Best Planetary Transits for Weddings

  1. 1
    The Sun The zodiac sign or astrological house that the sun is in can have a big effect on the energy of your nuptials. For example, if the sun is in Libra (an air sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty) you can expect an aesthetically pleasing, harmonious, and uber romantic wedding. Or, if the sun is in the 4th house (the house of home life, family, and close relationships) on your big day, your wedding will likely feel like a beautiful gathering of all the people closest to you. [3] Here are some favorable transits of the sun to look out for:
    • Zodiac signs: Sun in Cancer, Sun in Libra, Sun in Taurus, Sun in Leo, Sun in Capricorn
    • Houses: Sun in the 4th house, Sun in the 7th House, Sun in the 5th house, Sun in the 10th house.
  2. 2
    Venus “Venus represents art, love, beauty, and aesthetics,” says astrologist Angel Eyedealism. With this in mind, it makes sense that the position of Venus would have a big effect on a wedding! In particular, Venus in Taurus and Venus in Libra have wonderful energies for nuptials. Both of these signs are already ruled by Venus, so the planet of love is in its full glory during these transits. Venus in the 7th house is also a favorable transit, since this house is “the marriage house,” according to Eyedealism. Favorable transits include:
    • Zodiac signs: Venus in Taurus, Venus in Libra, Venus in Pisces
    • Houses: Venus in the 7th house, Venus in the 1st house, Venus in the 5th house, Venus in the 2nd house. [4]
  3. 3
    Jupiter In astrology, Jupiter is considered one of the “benefic,” or “lucky” planets. Eyedealism explains that Jupiter is the planet of wealth and expansion, and calls it “Santa Claus” because “it’s big, it’s bountiful, and it brings gifts wherever it goes.” If you’re hoping to bring lots of luck and fortune to your big day, pay close attention to Jupiter’s position! [5] Here are some favorable transits for Jupiter:
    • Zodiac signs: Jupiter transiting the same sign as your Sun, Venus, or Jupiter sign on your birth chart.
    • Houses: Jupiter in the 7th house, Jupiter in the 9th house. [6]

Best Wedding Dates According to Numerology

  1. 1
    Choose a date that reduces to a favorable number in numerology. According to numerology, the numbers 1-9 carry special significance and unique energies, so they can influence the vibes of your wedding day. First, you’ll want to reduce the digits of your wedding day down to one number. For example, to reduce the potential wedding date of October 2, 2025, you’d add up all its digits until you’re left with one (1+0+2+2+0+2+5=12, then 1+2=3). [7]
    • This wedding date carries the energy of the number 3, which is associated with communication, creativity, and expression in numerology. These positive energies would make for a fun, vibrant celebration!
    • Dates that reduce down to 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 9 are considered favorable for weddings. [8]
  2. 2
    Pick a date that’s compatible with you and your partner’s life path numbers. To calculate your life path number , add up all the digits of your birth date and reduce them down to a single digit, then do the same for your partner. Say, for example, that your life path number is 3, and your partner’s is 5. In this case, you’d want to pick a wedding date that reduces down to 3, 5, or the sum of both, which would be 8. [9]
  3. 3
    Plan your wedding for a date that’s an angel number. In numerology, angel numbers are sequences of repeating numbers that carry special significance and blessings. [10] Planning your wedding on a date that corresponds with an angel number can therefore bring positive energy and luck to your union.
    • For example, January 11th carries the energy of 111, an angel number associated with manifestation and intuition, which can be great energies for a wedding. [11]

  1. 1
    New moon In astrology, a new moon symbolizes a fresh start. This energy goes along nicely with a wedding, since the date represents the end of one chapter (your life as an unmarried person) and the start of another (your life as a married couple). [12] New moons are also great times for manifesting and planting seeds that will later come to fruition, so they can help amplify any positive intentions you set for your marriage on your wedding day. [13]
    • One thing to keep in mind is that new moons have more of a subdued and cozy energy than other moon phases, so they might not be the right choice if you want your wedding to feel like a super high-energy rager. However, if you’re going for a more low-key, chill vibe, a new moon could be perfect! [14]
    • New moons occur once per month, but the timing can vary slightly. If you want to have your wedding on a new moon, just look up the monthly new moon dates for the year you want to get married in, and pick a date accordingly. [15]
  2. 2
    Full moon Full moons are high-energy astrological events that bring a lot of heightened emotion and excitement with them. “A full moon is in opposition to the sun and has the strongest gravitational pull on Earth, making everything—including the tide, emotions, desires, and attractions—the strongest,” explains astrologer Stina Garbis. If you want your wedding to feel super fast-paced, exciting, and intense, a full moon could be the perfect backdrop to your special day! [16]
    • Just be aware that full moons can bring both positive and negative feelings to the surface. If you and your partner are in a good place, the full moon will likely heighten all your love and affection for each other, which is a beautiful thing for a wedding.
    • On the flip side, if you and your partner have any unresolved issues, it could bring these more complicated emotions to the forefront. So just make sure you and your partner are solid if you’re going with a full moon wedding date!
    • Full moons occur once per month, approximately every 29.5 days. If you want to get married on a full moon, look up the monthly full moon dates around the time you want to plan your nuptials.
  3. 3
    Supermoon A supermoon occurs when a full moon gets unusually close to Earth, which makes it appear super large in the sky. In astrology, supermoons bring heightened emotion and energy like full moons do, but even more amplified. [17] This makes them a great choice if you want your wedding to feel like a major celebration with a lot of social connection and excitement. The huge appearance of the moon in the sky also serves as a beautiful backdrop for outdoor weddings!
    • Supermoons occur 3-4 times per year. [18] If you want to have your wedding on a supermoon, look up supermoon dates for the year you want to get married in, and plan your date accordingly.
  4. 4
    Blue Moon A lunar month (the time it takes for a moon to cycle through all its phases) lasts 29.5 days, which means there’s usually only one full moon per calendar month. However, sometimes it works out that there are two full moons within one calendar month, with one being at the start of the month and one at the very end. [19] This super rare occurrence is called a “blue moon,” and it’s a beautiful time for a wedding. This rare, exceptional lunar event can symbolize your rare, exceptional connection to your partner!
    • The phrase “once in a blue moon,” which is used to describe things that are super rare or unusual, comes from this lunar event.
    • Blue moons only occur once every 2-3 years, so if you want to have your wedding on a blue moon, it will require some advance planning. Just look up when the next blue moon is online, and plan accordingly!
  5. 5
    Summer Solstice The summer solstice, which occurs around June 20th or June 21st, is the longest day of the year. Historically, this event has been the focus of festivals and celebrations across many cultures, and it’s often considered a lucky day to get married. The summer solstice also kicks off Cancer season, which brings a very loving, sentimental, and partnership-focused energy—perfect for a wedding! [20]
    • Because the daylight lasts so long on the summer solstice, this date is also perfect for an outdoor wedding. You and your guests will be able to enjoy sunlight until late into the evening, and then watch a gorgeous sunset together.
    • The summer solstice occurs on either June 20 or June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, so be sure to look up the correct date for the year you’re planning to get married in. [21]

When Not to Get Married According to Astrology

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Venus retrograde “One rule of thumb with astrology is that Venus retrograde is a terrible time to get married,” says Eyedealism. In fact, Eyedealism goes so far as to call Venus retrograde “the kiss of death” for a wedding. She explains that this period often makes you reevaluate the things you thought you loved, and it can also bring unexpected tensions to the surface. “Values you thought you shared [with your partner] end up being different values than they actually have,” she says.
    • “Venus retrogrades happen every year and a half, and they go on for six weeks at a time,” says Eyedealism. So, if you want to make sure the planet of love is in a good position on your wedding day, make sure to look up the next time Venus will be in retrograde and avoid that date!
  2. 2
    Mercury retrograde Astrologists also recommend that you avoid getting married when Mercury is in retrograde. “This period lasts about three weeks and often brings disruptions in communication,” so “people might experience misunderstandings, broken promises, or issues with signing agreements,” explains astrologer Mechila Blake. This type of energy can bring big problems for weddings, so it’s best to avoid this period for your big day.
    • Eyedealism also recommends to avoid planning your wedding for a date right before or right after Mercury retrograde.
    • Eyedealism explains that the energy of Mercury retrograde can bring hurtful things to the surface. “A wife might go through her husband’s phone and find out he’s been messing around, or a husband may find out that his spouse-to-be is a gold digger, and he’ll wish he had a prenup,” she says.
    • On this point, Eyedealism is emphatic: “If anybody gets married during Mercury retrograde, a prenup is essential.”
  3. 3
    Mars retrograde According to Blake, “Mars is the planet of action and direction, so when the energy responsible for getting you up in the morning takes a vacation, you may have all these plans but no energy to execute them. You might even question whether you feel passionate about them anymore.” Since a wedding requires a ton of energy, planning, and passion, it’s usually best to avoid scheduling one during a Mars retrograde.
