How these dates are chosen
The Moon leads every wedding election. She should be waxing, so the marriage grows in light, not void of course, and applying to a benefic, Venus (love) or Jupiter (blessing), and away from Mars (strife) and Saturn (coldness). Venus and Mercury should be direct. The loveliest days add a Moon in Taurus, her sign of exaltation, which lifts March 27 and January 6 above the rest.
What to avoid
The three Mercury retrogrades of 2028: Jan 25 to Feb 15, May 22 to Jun 15, and Sep 20 to Oct 12. Eclipse seasons cluster around Jan 12 and 26, around Jul 6 and 22, and on Dec 31. Astrologers keep weddings several days clear of eclipses, so early January and both eclipse windows are the year's most delicate ground, even where the Moon's best available day looks fine.
