💡 How This Works

Our calculator evaluates dates based on traditional Chinese almanac (黄历) principles:

  • • Days marked for marriage (嫁娶吉日)
  • • Zodiac compatibility with both partners
  • • Day officers (建除十二神) favorable for ceremonies
  • • Star mansions (28宿) auspicious energy
  • • Five elements balance

Results are based on authentic almanac data. For complex family situations, consider consulting a professional fortune teller for personalized analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this calculator as accurate as consulting a fortune teller?

For basic date selection, yes! Both use the same Chinese almanac (黄历) as the source. Fortune tellers add personalized BaZi analysis (八字) which requires exact birth times. For 95% of couples, this calculator provides everything needed.

Do I need to know my exact birth time?

No! For wedding date selection, only your birth year is needed (which determines your zodiac animal). Birth time is only required for detailed BaZi (八字四柱) fortune-telling analysis.

What if there are no "highly auspicious" dates in my preferred months?

This is common! Try: (1) Expanding to adjacent months, (2) Using "auspicious" or "good" rated dates (7-8/10 is perfectly fine), (3) Optimizing ceremony time (11am-1pm or 5-7pm are traditionally best), or (4) Considering weekday weddings which have more date availability and lower costs.

Can I use this if my partner and I are not Chinese?

Absolutely! Many multicultural couples appreciate the cultural wisdom of lunar calendar traditions. The calculator works the same regardless of ethnicity. It's a beautiful way to honor tradition or simply add an extra blessing to your special day.
