Should Astrology Influence Your Wedding Planning? -
By published
Astrology is experiencing a resurgence, particularly in the realm of wedding planning, as couples increasingly turn to celestial guidance for their special day. Alice Bell, an astrologer, advised her partner Jesse Zannino to propose by May 2023, citing favorable astrological conditions for marriage in 2024 but not in 2025. Their relationship began under astrological auspices, with their first date intentionally scheduled during a new moon in February 2021, a suggestion that Mr. Zannino embraced.
Ms. Bell, 30, who resides in New York and authored “Trust Your Timing: How to Use Astrology to Navigate Your Love Life and Find Your Authentic Self,” had a premonition about significant relationship developments in 2021 based on her astrological insights. Mr. Zannino, 32, a business development director, consulted his birth chart before their initial meeting and was initially apprehensive about his Scorpio moon traits. However, Ms. Bell found them intriguing.
After Mr. Zannino met the proposal deadline on April 28, Ms. Bell set about determining the most auspicious wedding date. She identified June 8, 2024, as the optimal choice, aligning favorably with both of their astrological charts. A birth chart captures the celestial positions at an individual's birth, revealing how these alignments can shape their personality and life journey.
Wedding charts serve a similar purpose, providing insights into the energies surrounding the marriage ceremony. Ms. Bell aimed for a wedding chart that would not only be beneficial on its own but also enhance the positive aspects of their individual charts. She expressed a desire to avoid previous experiences with weddings that had unfavorable astrological conditions, such as planetary retrogrades.
