However, some of the luckiest wedding dates for 2022 are still to come!" Inbaal said. Two dates in September 2022 are considered lucky Couples who have scheduled their big day for 10 September should rejoice, as that is considered the luckiest wedding date this year. Pisces is a very romantic zodiac sign, while Virgo is a very sensible sign, which makes for a perfect concoction in marriage! Inbaal explained that the full moon in Pisces, which comes just once a year, is on this date, at the same time that the sun is in Virgo. "The sun being opposite the moon isn't exactly harmonious, but it does mean that each partner will be able to keep their own identity in the marriage, so it's a great date for unique personalities to tie the knot," she added. There are also another two dates that got the thumbs up from Inbaal – 25 September and 23 December. In the afternoon of the September date, both the sun and the new moon are in Libra – a star sign with a great balancing influence that can help smooth conflict. This means couples will find it easy to compromise in their marriage. Psychic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman revealed when not to tie the knot Meanwhile, the late December date may be close to Christmas celebrations, but it will supposedly encourage an abundant marriage. This is because the new moon and the sun are in Capricorn, a star sign that is meant to be good with business and finances.
