Helpful tables at the back of the report that will make it easy to find Mercury and Venus retrograde and other key periods. Videos to demonstrate stuff thats a little hard to explain with words. General Guidelines There are no astrologically perfect wedding dates, because there are no perfect marriages. There are no perfect marriages because there are no perfect people. ABANDON THE DREAM OF PERFECTION! Your marriage begins at the moment when you exchange vows not at the beginning or ending of the ceremony or when the officiant announces I now pronounce you husband and wife. If you have more than one wedding, the first legally binding ceremony in which you exchange vows is considered the astrologically meaningful one. Aspects: In electional astrology, separating aspects symbolize events in the past. Only approaching aspects are considered significant. Aspects are considered in orb from the moment the faster-moving planet enters the sign in which it will make the aspects. Example: Saturn is at 17 Libra. From the moment the Moon enters Libra, its considered to be approaching a conjunction with Saturn, even though a 17- Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 4 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com degree orb is normally considered much too wide to be signficant. When the Moon has reached 18 degrees of Libra, the aspect is separating (past). Dont try to find a date when the planets have perfect aspects with your birth charts. Your first priority is to choose a date thats astrologically sound, irrespective of your birth charts. Its like building a house; there are certain structural requirements to be met before you start picking out tile for the countertops. Finding a date that stands alone as a strong and harmonious chart dramatically narrows the field of available dates. Simply, its unlikely youll be able to find a date that is both astrologically sound AND that matches up with both birth charts point by point. Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 5 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Step 1: Define Your Search Its your wedding; certain things are non-negotiable. Jewish couples probably wont be getting married on Friday evening or Saturday before sundown. If youre a Christian, you might have trouble getting your church for a Sunday ceremony. Maybe you feel strongly against getting married on your birthday, on September 11, or on April Fools Day. All this is fine. But take a moment right now to get clear, in your own mind, exactly what youre looking for nonastrologically speaking. Narrow it Down 1. In which YEAR(S) are you willing to get married? 2. In which MONTHS of the year? 3. On which DAYS OF THE WEEK are you willing to hold your ceremony? 4. At which HOURS OF THE DAY? (cross out any that just wont do) 10:00 a.m. 12:00 p.m. 12:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m. In the middle of the night, crack of dawn, whatever it takes Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 6 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com 5. Holidays: How do you feel about getting married on holiday weekends? Any particular ones that youd like to avoid? Or would a holiday weekend wedding actually make your life easier? 6. Special occasions: How about birthdays, anniversaries, the date of someones death, 9/11, Pearl Harbor day, the day John Lennon was shot, or whatever other occasion whose joyous or grim associations might overshadow Your Big Day?

Tip: If youre looking at dates beyond the current year, you can create and print out a calendar for any year (see a sample below) by going to: http://timeanddate.com/calendar/basic.html Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 7 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Step 2: Avoid Wedding Tricksters Mercury Retrograde If possible, avoid dates when Mercury is retrograde. Mercury, the planetary ruler of, among other things, contracts (including marriage), is retrograde or appears to be moving backward in its orbit several times each year, for about three weeks at a time. The symbolism of Mercury retrograde suggests that one may not be seeing the whole picture and that in time, new information may come to light that makes you rethink what you started under its influence. One exception might be a second marriage, when Mercury retrograde's symbolism of "re-doing" might actually be appropriate. Still, its better to marry when Mercury is direct, so take advantage of this exception only when you really have no alternative.
When will Mercury be retrograde?
See TABLE A to find the dates, if any, when Mercury is retrograde during the period youre considering for your wedding. List them below and be sure to put a big red X through these dates on your calendar! Mercury Retrograde Dates Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 8 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Venus Retrograde I beg you: Avoid dates when Venus is retrograde. Being an ornery type, I was skeptical about this rule when I first started electing wedding dates. Then I did a research project and found that the marriages that began with Venus retrograde were a lot more likely to have ended in divorce than those that began when Venus was direct. That made a believer out of me. Of course, Venus retrograde didnt make those marriages fail. Astrology reflects our circumstances it doesnt cause them! Venus retrograde periods send a message, though, that its time to reflect upon relationships, not to initiate action. If you find yourself planning your wedding for a time when Venus is retrograde, heed the wisdom of the retrograde, which urges you to take a second look at your reasons for choosing to marry this person, at this time, and in this way. Venus is retrograde for only forty days every eighteen months; you can almost always wait for it to turn direct.
When will Venus be retrograde? See TABLE B for the dates, if any, when Venus are retrograde during the period youre considering for your wedding. List them below, and be sure to put a big red X through these dates on your calendar! Venus Retrograde Dates Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 9 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Step 3: Plant in Hospitable Soil Avoiding the Suns square to Saturn For some reason, marriages that begin when the transiting Sun is approaching a square aspect to transiting Saturn really struggle. I suppose its like planting a seed in compacted soil and then watering and feeding it like mad it tries like hell to grow, but it just doesnt get anywhere. So unless youre a glutton for punishment, Id avoid marrying on days when the Sun is approaching a square with Saturn. THIS IS IMPORTANT Dont skip it! In electional astrology, aspect is considered within orb from the moment the faster-moving planet enters the sign where the aspect will complete. Eliminate all the days between the Sun entering the sign and the day it makes the exact square to Saturn.
Avoid Sun square Saturn!
See TABLE C to find the dates in your wedding date period, if any, when the Sun will be approaching a square aspect to Saturn. List them below and mark those dates on your calendar with a big red X! Sun square Saturn (Table C) Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 10 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Step 4: Humor the Goddess of Marriage Each planet contributes in its own way to a happy, spiffy wedding date chart. But in particular Venus, the ruling planet of marriage itself, should be as healthy as possible on your wedding date. This means placing her in a strong sign (if possible) and definitely making sure shes in good aspect to other planets. Venus by Sign Ideally you would like to see Venus in a sign in which its strong and happy; say, Taurus, Libra, or Pisces. Likewise, you would avoid dates when Venus is in signs that make her cranky, such as Aries, Scorpio, or Virgo. HOWEVER this is a secondary consideration to Venus in good aspect with other planets! Better a Venus in Aries with lots of good aspects than Venus in Libra with horrible ones!
A Good Sign for Venus
See TABLE E in back of this report to find the Venus signs during your wedding date period. Here, list the dates you found with VENUS in a good sign. Venus in Taurus Venus in Libra Venus in Pisces Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 11 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Venus in aspect AVOID Venus approaching a conjunction, square, or opposition to Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto. AVOID Venus square or opposed Mars. SEEK Venus approaching at least one conjunction, sextile, or trine to another planet, or receiving one of these aspects from the Moon or Mercury. What I like to do is find Venus very nicest aspects of the year to Mars and Jupiter and try to build wedding dates around those. See Table D for a handy list of these! Evaluating Venus: Watch the Video! A Well-aspected Venus is a Happy Venus See TABLE D in back of this report to find a list of some especially favorable Venus aspects during your wedding date period. List them here: ALSO: This list does NOT take into account other, more difficult aspects Venus might be making to other planets at the same time. Be sure to check all aspects to Venus before settling on a date! Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 12 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Step 5: Find compatibility The Sun and Moon Venus and Mars get all the sexy press but its the relationship between the Sun and Moon in your wedding chart that tells whether youve got the compatibility and shared vision it takes to make a strong, happy marriage. A difficult aspect between the Sun and Moon (square, opposition) indicates a couple who are at cross purposes, while a harmonious aspect (conjunction, sextile, trine) suggests youre able to enjoy each others company without a lot of drama. In my own research, couples with a good Sun/Moon aspect in their wedding chart seemed to find it easier to stay together and to be happy doing so! Watch the video or follow the instructions on the next page! Good Sun/Moon Aspect Here, list the dates you found with a good Sun/Moon aspect. Mark those dates on your calendar with a big green circle! Sun/Moon conjunct, sextile, or trine Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 13 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Get a good aspect between the Sun and Moon If you have an astrological calendar such as Jim Maynards (awesome) Pocket Astrologer, this is a snap. The Moons aspects are listed for each day of the year, right on the calendar! Just look for stuff like this: , , You can also find these aspects online at astro.com. If youre not used to reading an ephemeris, this might be a little overwhelming. Suck it up; I know you can figure this out, because I did and believe me, Im no Einstein. 1. Go to http://www.astro.com 2. On the left menu, select Ephemeris > 6000 Years Ephemeris 3. Find the link to the YEAR when you plan to get married. To the right of that link, there should be a link labeled A. Click that link. 4. You: Gah!! 5. Me: Calm down. 6. Youll be looking for stuff that looks like this: , , Remember, the ephemeris is calculated for Greenwich Mean Time. Thats Greenwich England. So unless thats where you live, youll need to do some adjusting: U.S. Eastern Time Zone subtract 5 hours from times given U.S. Central Time Zone subtract 6 hours from times given U.S. Mountain Time Zone subtract 7 hours from times given U.S. Pacific Time Zone subtract 8 hours from times given U.S. Alaskan Time Zone subtract 9 hours from times given U.S. Hawaii Time Zone subtract 10 hours from times given If youre from another time zone, convert times here: www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html Notes: Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 14 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Step 6: Give us this day our daily Moon. The Moons Sign Astrologically, the Moon in strongest in Taurus and Cancer. For a wedding chart, its also nicely placed in Libra, the sign of marriage. The Moon is less happy in Aries, Scorpio, and Capricorn. So all things being equal, give deference to days when the Moon is in Taurus, Cancer, or Libra. But MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE SUNS SIGN is its aspects to other planets, especially the Sun, whether its Void of Course, and its last aspect. THINK YOURE DONE with the Moon? THINK AGAIN! DONT just look for dates when the Moon in Taurus or Cancer! Theres more to a good Moon than its sign! Good Moon Signs Here, list the dates you found with a good Sun/Moon aspect. Mark those dates on your calendar with a big green circle! Moon in Taurus Moon in Cancer Moon in Libra Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 15 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com The Void-of-Course Moon Next we need to eliminate times when the Moon is Void-of-Course (VOC). When the Moon has made its last major aspect in its sign, it is VOC until it enters the next sign. The symbolism of a VOC moon is that "the matter comes to nothing;" this might mean unforeseen circumstances prevent the wedding from taking place as planned. If it does take place the couple may have a sense of being ineffectual and unable to formulate or reach mutual goals. The Moon's Last Aspect The next factor for you to consider is the aspects the Moon will make before it leaves its sign. Why is this important? Because a wedding chart will symbolically continue to unfold (as we follow progressions in a natal chart) as long as the marriage lasts...and often afterward! The moon, as the fastest moving body in the wedding chart, symbolizes how things will progress on a day to day level in the marriage. If the moon will make a number of fractious aspects between the time of the wedding and the time the moon enters a new sign, what we end up with is a marriage full of day to day disruption that can be quite hard on the nerves, and subsequently undermine the relationship. Most important of all is the Moons last aspect before leaving the sign, which absolutely must be a positive one. DONT SKIP THIS STEP because you think its too difficult! Its easy Ill show you how: Finding the Moons last aspect and Void of Course periods: Watch the video! Notes: Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 16 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Step 7n: Other Considerations AVOID when possible days when: the Sun, Moon, or Venus are conjunct, square, or opposed Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto. AVOID eclipse days. Eclipses are just too intense for a wedding chart. AVOID days when planets (other than the Moon) are changing sign. If the planet has already moved into the new sign and is sitting at 0 degrees, thats not so bad. But planets at 29 degrees have a sense of urgency and unbearable suspense about them. Tension abounds. Avoid them if you can! Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 17 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Recap: The Rules for Choosing Your Wedding Date The Essentials: NO VENUS Rx! AVOID the Sun approaching a square to Saturn INCLUDE a good approaching aspect from the Moon to the Sun AVOID void-of-course (VOC) Moon (this takes care of itself if you have a date with the Moon approaching a good aspect to the Sun). Still Pretty Darned Important: AVOID Mercury Rx INCLUDE a good final aspect from the Moon before it is VOC. INCLUDE good aspect from Venus to another planet, or to Venus from the Moon or Mercury. AVOID Venus conjunct, square, or opposed Mars (conjunction okay), Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto. Nice if you can get them, but not deal-breakers if you cant: AVOID Moon in Aries, Scorpio, or Capricorn unless very well aspected. AVOID Venus in Aries, Virgo, or Scorpio if possible, unless very well aspected. INCLUDE a good aspect between Venus and Mars for physical compatibility. INCLUDE a waxing Moon (between New and Full) if possible, but its not as important as a good Moon/Sun aspect. Many people choose a date with a waxing Taurus or Cancer Moon and think theyve done their job. They havent. INCLUDE a good approaching aspect to or from Saturn. Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 18 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Step 8: Time the Ceremony When the Marriage Begins The marriage begins at the moment you exchange vows. Not when the ceremony begins or ends, not when the officiant pronounces you husband and wife. Work carefully with your officiant to time your ceremony so that you exchange vows at the moment the chart is at its best. Resources for Calculating the Chart For this step, you really need to have access to software that will help you adjust the timing on a chart easily, or at least to calculate a lot of charts until you get the result that you want. This is do-able for free at astro.com (see video for details): Free: If youre just planning to choose your own wedding date, you can get by with Astro.coms free chart calculation service at www.astro.com. See the Timing the Chart video for a demonstration. Full-Service: If you plan to do a lot of this kind of work, its worth your while to purchase a full- service calculation program. As youll see in the video, it can make your life a little easier. These are two I use: Solar Fire is very popular and easy to use, but quite pricey. http://alabe.com/solargold.html Matrix Softwares Win*Star Express (a light version of its chart calculation program), is a little less user-friendly but quite reasonably priced. http://astrologysoftware.com/software/calculation/express/index.asp See the Timing the Chart Video for a demonstration Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 19 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Checklist: Choosing the Time AVOID Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto in the 7 th house or square/ opposed Venus or the ruler of the 7 th house. AVOID Sun, Moon, or Venus in the 6 th or 12 th houses. INCLUDE the Moon in 7 th , 10 th , 4 th , or 1 st houses; or, Moon applying to a good aspect with a happy planet in the 7 th house AVOID placing Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto within about 10 degrees from the cusps of the 1 st , 4 th , 7 th , and 10 th houses if at all possible. INCLUDE Ascendant: no fewer than 3, no more than 27 degrees rising. A fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) on the Ascendant is desirable. INCLUDE, if possible, the Moon in good aspect to the planetary rulers of the signs on the 4th and 10th house cusps. This symbolizes a good relationship with and between the couples families. Tips for Timing the Chart Avoid the two-hour periods AFTER sunrise and sunset. These are the hours when the Sun is likely to be in the sixth and twelfth houses, which are not favored for marriage. If the Sun is very close to a conjunction with Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto on the day of your wedding (not a great idea anyway), youll probably need to avoid the two hours BEFORE sunset, to avoid placing these planets in the 7 th house. Avoid a difficult aspect between the planetary rulers of the signs on the first and seventh houses. Electional astrology relies on traditional rulerships, so Scorpio is ruled by Mars, Aquarius by Saturn, and Pisces by Jupiter. Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 20 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com If you can avoid days when Venus is in difficult aspect to Mars, and when Mercury is in difficult aspect to Jupiter, your job will be easier: between them, these planetary pairs typically rule the 1 st and 7 th houses for about 16 hours out of each day! A good tip to handle this is to find the days best aspect and try to make those planets the rulers of the 1 st and/or 7 th houses. So if theres a nice Moon/Saturn trine on the day, make Cancer/Capricorn the signs on the 1 st /7 th houses.

Friend, welcome to the electional astrologers nightmarish world! If youve followed this tutorial carefully, its doubtful youve found any dates without a couple of flaws so heinous that you believe they spell certain doom for your marriage. But if there arent any that are even close to being good astrologically as well as fitting with what you need logistically, it may be time to expand your search to include additional months, years, or days of the week. If youve found a couple of dates that you feel are pretty good, but youre a little nervous and would like a second opinion? I can do that for you. Youll find details here: http://weddingastrology.com Completely freaked out and ready to put the whole thing in someone elses hands? Hey, no worries I can do that for you too. But unless youre an absolute beginner at astrology, it youve followed this tutorial carefully its highly unlikely Ill be able to find anything better in the same time period. At the end of the day Dont tell anyone I said this, but plenty of people get married on astrologically horrible dates and do just fine. Yes, even some who marry when Venus is retrograde. Whats more important than anything else is the desire you both have to make your marriage a success. If youre both determined to do whatever it takes to have a successful marriage, I feel confident that you will. Big Sky Astrology Workshop Choosing a Wedding Date With Astrology 23 | P a g e April Elliott Kent for bigskyastrology.com Helpful Tables to make this whole process a lot easier for you A note about these tables: All the dates in these tables are based on Greenwich Mean Time. Depending on what hour of the day the planets are doing their thing turning retrograde or direct, aspecting something, entering or leaving a sign and how far you live from Greenwich, England, some dates might be off by one day in either direction. Youll figure that out when you go to cast your individual charts.
