Is it good to get married on the Great Heat?

General Overview

The Great Heat on July 22, 2017 happens to be the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and according to the taboos on choosing auspicious dates for marriages, it is not suitable to hold weddings in the sixth month of the lunar calendar. Because June is half of the whole year, a June bride is equal to half a bride, which is equivalent to having a front but no back, and couples are more likely to divorce after marriage. Therefore, getting married in June is a sign of being married for half a year. An auspicious day for marriage is what people often call an auspicious day or a good day. It means choosing a good day that is beneficial to the newlyweds in all aspects to hold the wedding. Of course, many people nowadays no longer pay as much attention to taboos in this regard as the older generation did, but the mentality of "it's better to believe it" still exists. However, the lunar calendar shows that the day of Great Heat in 2017 is suitable for marriage.
