The right date also depends on the couple's charts 命 — zodiac, Day Master, and Four Pillars. A day the almanac marks as generally good may still conflict with one partner's clash day.
The Tung Shing 通勝 lists days where the favoured activities 宜 include 嫁娶. The day officer, heavenly stems, and earthly branches all contribute to the verdict.
Do these dates work for everyone?
These are general almanac days — a good starting point. Whether a specific date suits you personally also depends on your birth chart and zodiac. The tradition recommends checking that neither person's clash zodiac falls on the chosen day.
