How to pick an auspicious wedding
date?
The Chinese has been using auspicious
dates for marriage for a long time.
The Chinese believes that marriage
is an important event, it should have
the support of an auspicious day.
In olden days, marriage was a one
day affair. It consisted of customary
wedding and wedding feast which were
held on the same day. Customary wedding
was the equivalent of modern day ROM
(registry of marriage) and customary
wedding together.
Today, marriage is no longer a one
day affair. It consists of ROM, customary
wedding and wedding feast. Often ROM
is held on a different day from the
customary wedding and wedding feast.
Sometime all three marriage events
are held on different days. Despite
how marriage has evolved over the
years, the belief that marriage should
be held on auspicious day still hold.
As such all marriage events, i.e.
ROM, customary wedding and wedding
feast, should be held on auspicious
days.
To understand what it means for a
date to be auspicious for marriage,
one has to understand it from a Chinese
metaphysical prospective. According
to Chinese metaphysics, a date is
considered auspicious for marriage
if the cosmic energies of the date
are auspicious for marriage.
The common and easy way to know whether
a date is auspicious for marriage
is to look up the Tong Shu, a Chinese
almanac. By using the Tong Shu one
can find out which dates are auspicious
for marriage. Relying on Tong Shu
to know which dates are auspicious
for marriage has its limitations.
One limitation is that Tong Shu only
gives auspicious dates for marriage
for the current calendar year. If
you need to know auspicious dates
for marriage for the next calendar
year, you would have to wait for the
new Tong Shu. The second limitation
is that different Tong Shu by different
publishers may show different auspicious
dates for marriage. There is no way
to know if a date is truly auspicious
for marriage.
The only way to know the auspicious
dates for marriage beyond the current
calendar year is to use date selection
techniques, such as The 12 Day Officers
Method and Dong Gong Date Selection,
to identify the auspicious dates for
marriage. Using date selection techniques,
one can identify auspicious dates
for marriage in any year.
Knowing that a date is auspicious
for marriage is only a step in the
process of identifying an auspicious
date for your marriage. You still
need to check whether the auspicious
date is compatible with the groom's
and bride's birth data (bazi) to make
sure that the auspicious date is truly
your personal auspicious date for
marriage. It is inauspicious to use
a day that is auspicious for marriage
but it is not compatible with the
groom's and bride's birth data (bazi).
Marrying on an auspicious date is
not being superstitious. It is about
marrying on a day that has the support
of auspicious cosmic energies which
bring good blessing and good start
to a marriage.
