Choosing the wedding date from the chart, not the venue calendar
Two charts, one narrow window. The date they took was not the one they had booked.
A couple planning a wedding eight months out, with a venue deposit already paid for a date in early June.
What the charts showed
Individually, both charts were steady. Together, they produced a specific and narrow activation window — a three-week period in which the Spouse Palaces formed a favourable combination. It fell in late August, not June.
The conversation
We were clear that this was a preference, not a requirement, and that a wedding is a good thing on any date. They asked what the cost of ignoring it was. Honest answer: probably nothing measurable — but they had asked, so we told them.
What happened
They moved the wedding and lost the original deposit. Their own account, two years on: “We would have had a fine marriage either way. But we asked a question and then ignored the answer, and neither of us wanted that on the record.”
