We all dream of the perfect wedding day, but what if the stars helped make that dream come true? Astrology provides interesting insights into how the cosmic energies around us can either give your marriage a boost or throw a wrench into your big day; knowing when to say “I do” according to the stars can make all the difference. If you want to synchronize your life stages with the universe, here are some key celestial events in 2025 that you may want to avoid when choosing your wedding date!
Venus Retrograde: March 1 – April 12, 2025 : Unlucky days for marriage
Venus, the planet that rules love, relationships and beauty, plays a central role in romance. When Venus goes retrograde, her energy is directed inward, leading to possible disruptions in love and commitment. During this period, couples may revisit past issues or question their current relationship. Although not necessarily disastrous, marriage during Venus retrograde can bring emotional complications to the composition, and it can seem like a rocky start to your married life.
Retrograde also tends to disrupt wedding plans, causing delays and misunderstandings with vendors or guests. If you want to avoid marriage during a turbulent period, it is better to postpone the wedding until Venus returns to direct motion after April 12.
Mercury Retrograde: March 15 – April 7, July 18 – August 11, November 9 – November 29, 2025.
Mercury retrograde is notorious for its ability to cause confusion, delays and disruptions, especially in communication and travel. Since Mercury rules contracts, travel logistics, and day-to-day communication, tying the knot during one of its retrograde periods can lead to a cascade of problems, such as a misunderstanding with an official, misplaced paperwork, or even problems with travel arrangements for guests.
Although many couples manage their weddings during Mercury retrograde, they should prepare for potential challenges. If you want to avoid a stressful wedding planning experience, consider rescheduling your wedding to a more convenient date.
Eclipses: March 14, March 29, September 7, and September 21, 2025.
Eclipses are among the most powerful astrological events, often bringing significant change or transformation. They hint at powerful times that can bring unexpected shifts in energy, making it difficult to predict what will happen next. Eclipses are also often associated with endings, beginnings, and the revelation of hidden truths—none of which are ideal themes for beginning life.
Because eclipses are known for their unpredictable energy, wedding planning can feel chaotic or abrupt during this time. Darkened light symbolizes a hidden aspect of reality and you may find that your wedding day is not going as planned. Eclipses can also disrupt wedding ceremonies, creating a sense of uncertainty or unexpected shifts in your relationship dynamics.
While your love may be written in the stars, when choosing the best wedding date, it’s important to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all “perfect” wedding day. Whether you choose to listen to the stars or follow your heart, the most important thing is to make sure your wedding reflects the love and commitment you share with your partner. However, if you are looking for the most harmonious start to your married life, consider avoiding these challenging astrological events in 2025.
