Choosing your wedding date is the first decision you make as a couple — and in Chinese tradition, one of the most consequential. A date chosen in harmony with the Tung Shu (通勝), the thousand-year-old Chinese Almanac, is believed to bless a marriage with harmony, prosperity, and enduring love. In this guide you will find all 130 auspicious wedding dates in 2027 — the Year of the Fire Goat (丁未) — calculated month by month from the almanac, the periods every couple should avoid, and how to find the one date that is truly right for you and your partner.
What Makes a Wedding Date Auspicious?
For centuries, more than 80% of Chinese families have consulted the Tung Shu to pick lucky days for engagements and weddings. A genuinely auspicious wedding date must satisfy two conditions:
- The day itself is marked “suitable for marriage” (宜嫁娶) in the almanac. Each day carries its own energy; only some favour beginning a lifelong union. The 130 dates below all pass this first test.
- The day does not “clash” (沖) with the bride, the groom, or their parents. Every day in the Chinese calendar clashes with one of the twelve zodiac animals. A day that is lucky in general is unlucky for you if it clashes with your birth sign — which is why the table below names the clashing animal for every date.
2027: The Year of the Fire Goat
The Chinese year of the Goat begins on 6 February 2027. The Goat is a gentle, artistic, family-loving sign, and its year favours tenderness and partnership — fitting energy for a wedding. 2027 is an especially harmonious year to marry for those born in the years of the Goat, Rabbit, Pig, and Horse, whose signs are natural allies of the Goat. Couples born under the Ox (牛) — the Goat’s direct opposite — should choose their date with extra care and lean on a personalised reading.
Across the full year there are 130 almanac-approved wedding days. The most generous months are May (14 days), July (14 days), March (13 days) — helpful if you are still choosing a season.
How to Read the Dates Below
Each table lists every auspicious wedding day for that month. The third column shows the zodiac sign that clashes with that day — if you, your partner, or your parents were born in that sign, skip that date and pick another. Weekend dates are shaded, since most couples prefer a Saturday or Sunday celebration.

Dates & Periods to Avoid in 2027
Some periods are traditionally avoided for weddings regardless of your personal chart:
- The Ghost Month (农历七月 — roughly early August to early September 2027) — spirits are said to roam; weddings are traditionally postponed.
- Around Qingming (清明, early April) — a tomb-sweeping and mourning festival.
- Break Days (破日) and other 十二建除 destruction days — already excluded from the list above.
- Your own clash day. Even a listed date becomes inauspicious if its clashing animal (third column) matches your sign or your partner’s.
Why the “Universal” Lucky Day May Be Wrong for You
Here is what most wedding-date lists never tell you: a date can be lucky for the calendar and still clash with your personal BaZi (八字). The strongest wedding date is favourable in the Tung Shu and free of conflict with the birth charts of both partners — ideally both sets of parents too. That is why a traditional master always asks for both birthdays and birth times before naming a day. The list above is your shortlist; your perfect date is personal.
How to Find YOUR Perfect Wedding Date
Start with your own chart. Our free BaZi calculator reveals your Day Master, your favourable elements, and the exact zodiac signs your chart clashes with — in under a minute, from your birth date and time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the luckiest month to get married in 2027?
By sheer number of almanac-approved days, May and July lead the year. But the “luckiest” month for you depends on which dates avoid clashing with your and your partner’s signs.
Do we really need both of our birth dates?
Yes. A date is only fully auspicious when it clashes with neither partner (and ideally neither set of parents). A shared date from the general list is a good start; a personalised date is the gold standard.
Is it true you cannot marry during the Ghost Month?
Tradition strongly discourages it. Most Chinese families avoid weddings during the seventh lunar month entirely.
What if our only possible date clashes with one of us?
A skilled master can often apply remedies — adjusting the ceremony time, direction, or ritual details. This is exactly the fine-tuning a personalised reading provides.
May your chosen day open a lifetime of harmony. 白头偕老,永结同心。
