Say "I Do" to Wedding Date Astrology

by Judi Vitale

Are you recently engaged? Congratulations! Here, let us help you choose a wedding date! Did you know Astrology can offer clues to what the big day -- and the marriage itself -- will be like? Look at which horoscope sign the Sun will be in at the time of your wedding for cosmic insight that can put you on the path toward "happily ever after."

Aries marriages (March 21 - April 19)

The fiery energy of Aries is the force that pushes life out of the dormancy of winter. It's an excellent time to get married, because love thrives in the fresh atmosphere of springtime. Making a pledge to be with one other person for the rest of your life is a big, bold step, and Aries supports the kind of courage that it takes to do this. Once this marriage gets off the ground, though, it's important to keep the relationship fresh and exciting. Anniversary getaways to spots that show spring blooming in all its glory will keep the sexy side of this union sizzling.

Taurus marriages (April 20 - May 20)

For those who look at marriage as the next logical step in their relationship, the slow, steady and protective energy of Taurus makes it the perfect time of year to tie the knot. It is quite compatible with the concept of allowing no one to "set asunder" the bonds that are created during the ceremony, yet it also allows for a festive, indulgent spirit to prevail at the reception. As they go through life together, couples married under Taurus will be secure and happy. However, they'll always have to be wary of getting stuck in a rut. Sensuality will thrive when they take short, impromptu trips together and introduce an element of variety into their sex life.

Gemini marriages (May 21 - June 20)

The busy-busy buzz that occurs during the Sun's visit to Gemini is totally perfect for weddings. The wedding preparations will probably come together all at once, but people can often be of two minds about their choices regarding wedding colors, flowers, food and transportation logistics. The Gemini marriage will be characterized by strong communication between the partners on both the verbal and physical levels.

Cancer marriages (June 21 - July 22)

The spirit of the beginning of summer comes from the enjoyment of Earth's bounty, so Cancer weddings are always about the food, desserts and the love of the couple, their families and friends. As two become one, the spirit of this domestically-oriented horoscope sign will emphasize the meaning of joining hands and hearts to create a new entity. Cancer couples often find themselves concerned more about their home, children and the way they interact with relatives than many of their peers. The trick to preserving passion is to demand time that's dedicated to just the two of them.
