General Overview

The autumnal equinox in 2017 is Saturday, September 23. According to the almanac table for that day, we can know that this day is a good day for marriage. However, an auspicious date for marriage is not just determined by the lunar calendar. We also need to analyze the birth dates of both the man and the woman (mainly the woman), as well as the birth dates of their parents. Of course, we also need to avoid some days that are not suitable for marriage. It is best to avoid the third, seventh and ninth months of the lunar calendar as these three months have the traditional Ghost Festival, which was the month for sacrifices in ancient times and is generally not suitable for weddings.

About the Autumnal Equinox

The Autumnal Equinox, the sixteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, usually falls on September 22 or 23 every year.

Things like getting married and moving should not be done at this time. It is said that at that time, the universe's aura was in a chaotic state, and it was unlucky to get married at that time.
