Auspicious Wedding Dates 
Hi – it’s me again. You previously advised that 12 January 2013 was a good day for the bride and groom. But if the bride’s parents are born in 1956 (Pig), is 12 January 2013 no longer a good day? Does the birthdates of the parents matter that much?
I have the details now:
Bride: 1979 (Goat)
Groom: 1978 (Horse)
Bride’s parents both: 1956 (Pig)
Groom’s mum: 1948 (Rat)
Groom’s dad: 1939 (Rabbit)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi H,
12 Jan 2013 is only incompatible to Monkey pple. It doesn’t affect any of you so it is perfectly fine to use it 🙂
Sorry, I meant to say that 1956 is the year of the Monkey! 😀 Does it matter?
Hi H,
Ah I see. From our point of view, the main criteria is the couple involved. Parents not clashing with the day is a good practice to have but not imperial.
So, if you are open to more choices, you can consider finding another day so you can save on the explanation and spare them the thoughts about the day “clashes with them”.
But, if the Bride’s parents are open-minded about date selection in the first place, and if you have a limit on what days you can conduct it on and the auspicious dates are limited within that criteria….then, stick to the original plan.
Hi I am planning on having my wedding in 2013 possibly in March on a Saturday or Sunday.
Bride – 1985 Ox
Groom – 1985 Ox
What is the best date in March? I was looking at the 9th of March 2013, as i heard the Year of the Dragon is not a good year for Ox to be married, hence i didnt choose a february date.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Caz Lee,
Bride: Wood Ox
Groom: Wood Ox
You will find the dates in the month of March more relevant:
There are only five truly auspicious dates in that month. Fortunately, four are compatible with Ox.
9 March 2013 is an above average date. But, it is still not good enough to be qualified as auspicious under my standards. If you want to use it, just avoid scheduling important ceremonies during the Horse hour.
The year of the Dragon is over after 4 Feb 2013. Perhaps you can consider dates that are after that day.
Hi, are these auspicious dates based on the Tong Shu? Thanks.
No they are not exactly based on the Tong Shu. But, the Tong Shu concepts used to qualify them as good wedding dates are used. Therefore, a number of the dates here might coincide with the Tong Shu dates.
If you need Tong Shu dates, you can just buy one and refer to it.
Certain good dates in Tong Shu fail my standards. Also, certain really good dates are omitted by the Tong Shu. In short, there is no point for me to replicate market stuff.
So, if in doubt, you can always find a date that coincides here and in the Tong Shu.
Hi
We are planning our wedding for 4th January 2013
My partner is a tiger (1974) & I am a snake (1977)
What does this date behold?
Hi KM,
KM: Fire Snake
Partner: Wood Tiger
It an inauspicious date that is in conflict with the ruling month.
May I recommend you to consider another date that does not mention incompatibility to Snake and Tiger
