Choosing the right wedding time is essential in Vedic astrology for ensuring a harmonious and prosperous married life. Muhurat, or auspicious timing, is determined by aligning planetary positions, lunar days (tithis), nakshatras (lunar constellations), weekdays, and doshas to bring happiness and longevity to the marriage.

Auspicious Muhurat Details and Why They Matter
Tithis (Lunar Days):
Muhurats like Dwitiya (2nd), Tritiya (3rd), Panchami (5th), Dashami (10th), and Ekadashi (11th) are deemed auspicious for marriage as they promote longevity and happiness.
Avoid Amavasya (new moon) and Krishna Paksha (waning phase) peak days as they are considered inauspicious.
Nakshatras (Lunar Mansions):
Favorable nakshatras include Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, and Revati.
These nakshatras bring harmony, prosperity, and emotional balance.
Nakshatras like Ashwini, Chitra, and Dhanishta are neutral or moderately auspicious; others should be avoided.
Weekdays:
Thursday (ruled by Jupiter) and Friday (ruled by Venus) are considered the most favorable days due to their relation to wisdom, growth, love, and harmony.
Monday (Moon) and Wednesday (Mercury) are also good but slightly less auspicious.
Avoid Tuesdays (Mars) and Saturdays (Saturn) unless personal charts confirm their positivity.
Planetary Positions:
Venus (Shukra) and Jupiter (Guru) must be strong and unafflicted in the charts and the muhurat for love and prosperity.
Avoid dates when these planets are combust or retrograde.
Lagna (Ascendant):
A strong and supportive ascendant during the muhurat, especially in Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, or Pisces, is a positive indicator.
The 7th house (marriage house) should be free from malefic influences.
