How to choose an auspicious date for marriage?

Can I get married in 2022, my zodiac year?

In ancient times, people may have paid more attention to this issue, and therefore believed that the twelve zodiac signs could not get married in their birth year. But nowadays, people have relaxed the restrictions on this. It is generally believed that among the twelve zodiac signs, only four attributes "Zodiac Pig, Zodiac Dragon, Zodiac Rooster, and Zodiac Horse" are not suitable for marriage, because these four zodiac signs are self-inflicted, and their fortunes are already very bad after entering their birth year. If the influence of the punishment of Tai Sui is added, it is like adding fuel to the fire. Therefore, it is not recommended for these four attributes to get married in their birth year, otherwise it will be easy for the couple to quarrel after marriage, and even an emotional crisis may occur.
Except for the zodiac signs of pig, dragon, rooster and horse, other zodiac signs can get married in their birth year. They just need to choose an auspicious day.

How to choose an auspicious date for marriage?

Wedding month selection:
The formula for the "lucky months" for marriage is: "The first and seventh months are for chickens and rabbits, the second and eighth months are for tigers and monkeys, the third and ninth months are for snakes and pigs, the fourth and tenth months are for dragons and dogs, the fifth and eleventh months are for cattle and sheep, and the sixth and eleventh months are for rats and horses."
The formula for the "slightly favorable months" for marriage is: "January and July are for dragon and dog, February and August are for cattle and sheep, March and September are for rat and horse, April and October are for chicken and rabbit, May and November are for tiger and monkey, June and December are for snake and pig."
Wedding date selection:
(1) In folk culture, weddings, full moons, and other happy events are held on even-numbered days rather than odd-numbered days, as this means good things come in pairs. Odd-numbered days are considered unlucky. Even numbers are preferred for gifts or cash gifts.
(2) The homophone of “three” is “scatter”, which is why some places avoid celebrating birthdays and getting married on this day. Also, this number is taboo when celebrating birthdays, congratulating people, and giving gifts. Businessmen are particularly averse to the number “San Yuan San”.
(3) Four sounds the same as “death” (si), and people in China are superstitious about this number, just as foreigners are superstitious about thirteen. Generally, the number 4 will not appear in hotel numbers.
(4) We like the numbers six and eight. Six means good luck, and eight means prosperity. It makes us happy just hearing the words “six and six”. Mobile phone numbers and license plate numbers with the numbers six and eight are many times more expensive than ordinary numbers, which shows the mentality of seeking good luck.
(5) “Don’t go out on the seventh day, and don’t come back on the eighth day.” In some places, it is believed that seven means “to go out together” and eight means “to crawl.” “Go out together” implies a funeral, and “crawl back home” means it is not good to be away from home on time, so the numbers seven and eight are both taboos.
(6) “On July 7, people welcome new brides and marry off their daughters, but avoid festivals.” In some areas of the Han ethnic group, people are particularly taboo about getting married on July 7, because this day is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet each other every year. The taboo on getting married on this day reflects people’s hope that their children will never be separated after marriage and will live happily ever after.
(7) After the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, people believe that the gods have gone to heaven and that nothing is taboo. There is no need to choose a date to marry a wife or a daughter, and there are many weddings until the end of the year.
