Best Wedding Dates 2027
The best day in each month of 2027 to marry, by Western electional astrology: the waxing Moon applying to Venus or Jupiter, clear of the void and of Mercury retrograde. Computed with the Swiss Ephemeris. One piece of good news up front: Venus, the planet of love, never turns retrograde in 2027, so every month carries clean love energy.
| Month | Best day | Score | Why this one |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Fri, Jan 8 | 5 | Waxing Moon in Aquarius, applying to a sextile to Venus. |
| February | Sun, Feb 7 | 5 | Waxing Moon in Pisces, sextile Venus, but boxed in by the Feb 6 eclipse and the Feb 10 Mercury retrograde. A weak month; consider another. |
| March | Sat, Mar 13 | 5 | Waxing Moon in Gemini, applying to a trine to Venus. |
| April | Wed, Apr 7 | 6 | Waxing Moon in Taurus, her sign of exaltation, applying to a sextile to Venus. One of the year's strongest. |
| May | Tue, May 11 | 5 | Waxing Moon in Leo, applying to a conjunction with Jupiter. |
| June | Sat, Jun 5 | 5 | Waxing Moon in Cancer, her home sign, applying to a sextile to Venus. |
| July | Sun, Jul 11 | 5 | Waxing Moon in Scorpio, applying to a trine to Venus, just clear of the Jun to Jul retrograde. |
| August | Thu, Aug 12 | 5 | Waxing Moon in Capricorn, trine Jupiter, but bracketed by the Aug 2 and Aug 17 eclipses. Handle with care. |
| September | Wed, Sep 8 | 5 | Waxing Moon in Capricorn, applying to a trine to Jupiter. |
| October | Sun, Oct 3 | 5 | Waxing Moon in Sagittarius, sextile Venus, just before the Oct 8 retrograde. |
| November | Fri, Nov 12 | 6 | Waxing Moon in Taurus, exalted, applying to a trine to Jupiter. Among the best of the year. |
| December | Thu, Dec 9 | 6 | Waxing Moon in Taurus, exalted, applying to a trine to Venus. A lovely close to the year. |

How these dates are chosen
In electional astrology you choose the birth chart of the marriage, and the Moon leads every election. For a wedding she should be waxing, so the union grows in light, and not void of course, the coasting gap where beginnings drift. She should be applying to a benefic, moving toward a trine, sextile, or conjunction with Venus (love) or Jupiter (blessing and abundance), and away from Mars (strife) and Saturn (coldness). Venus and Mercury should be direct, Venus because she rules the marriage and Mercury because he rules the vows and the paperwork. The strongest days of the year add one more grace: a Moon in Taurus, her sign of exaltation, which is why April 7, November 12, and December 9 rise above the rest.
What to avoid in 2027
The three Mercury retrogrades: Feb 10 to Mar 4, Jun 11 to Jul 5, and Oct 8 to 29. Signing vows and contracts under a backward Mercury invites revisited terms and crossed wires, so the dates above steer clear of all three. See the full Mercury retrograde 2027 guide.
The eclipse seasons: a solar eclipse on Feb 6 and lunar on Feb 20, then a cluster around Jul 18, Aug 2, and Aug 17. Astrologers keep weddings a good several days clear of eclipses, whose energy is abrupt and fated. That makes February and the back half of summer the year's weakest windows for a wedding, even where the Moon's best available day looks fine on paper.
Your exact time, and your own charts
These dates rank the sky itself, and the sky is the same for everyone. Two things make a date truly yours. First, the exact time of day: the Ascendant and Midheaven and the planetary hours shift with your location, so the finder tuned to your city gives the hour, not just the day. Second, and deepest, is how the date speaks to your and your partner's own birth charts. The single best date is the one whose sky also makes warm contact with the two of you, and that is the personalized electional reading, done by hand.

What are the best wedding dates in 2027 by astrology?
The strongest fall on a Taurus Moon, the Moon's sign of exaltation: April 7, November 12, and December 9. Each has the waxing Moon applying to Venus or Jupiter and clear of Mercury retrograde. The table above gives the best day in every month.
How are these dates chosen?
By Western electional astrology. The Moon leads: waxing, not void of course, and applying to a benefic (Venus or Jupiter) rather than to Mars or Saturn, with Venus and Mercury direct. Computed with the Swiss Ephemeris. The exact best time depends on your location.
Is there a Venus retrograde in 2027?
No. Venus, the planet of love and marriage, does not turn retrograde at all in 2027, which is unusual and favorable. Every month carries clean, stable Venus energy, so the limiting factors are the Moon, the Mercury retrogrades, and the eclipses.
What months should I avoid for a 2027 wedding?
Sidestep the three Mercury retrogrades (Feb 10 to Mar 4, Jun 11 to Jul 5, Oct 8 to 29) and the eclipse seasons around Feb 6 and 20 and around Jul 18, Aug 2, and Aug 17. That makes February and the back half of summer the weakest windows, even where the Moon cooperates.
Do these dates work for my location and my chart?
The dates rank the sky itself, which is the same everywhere. The exact best time shifts by location, and the single strongest date is the one that also speaks well to you and your partner's own charts, which is the personalized electional reading.
