What is engagement and marriage date numerology?
Engagement and marriage date numerology is a way of choosing the day you formally begin your life together using numbers. Every date carries a numerical vibration, and so does each partner, through numbers such as the life path number worked out from the date of birth.
The aim is to find a date whose number works well with both partners' numbers. Ashishh L Vyas, Occultist and Life Coach and founder of TEAM9, gives personalised numerology advice based on your dates of birth to help you shortlist such dates.
How it differs from an astrological muhurat
Numerology date selection looks only at numbers: the couple's date-of-birth numbers and the number of each candidate date. It does not need a birth chart or the time of birth.
The astrological approach is different. It studies each partner's Kundali, the positions of planets such as Venus and Jupiter, the Moon's transit and the Nakshatras to find a Shubh Muhurat. If you would like that method, see engagement/marriage dates calculation based on astrology.
- Numerology: date-of-birth numbers and the number of the chosen date
- Astrology: Kundali, planetary positions, Moon transit, Nakshatras and Shubh Muhurat
Practical needs come first too
Ashishh L Vyas highlights that numbers are only one part of choosing a date. He advises couples to also consider their families' schedules, cultural customs and personal preferences.
In his view, the couple's comfort and happiness should come first.
Why the date is worth considering
Many couples choose an engagement or wedding date without looking at numerology. Numerology suggests that a date out of tune with the couple's numbers may be linked with problems later, such as persistent misunderstandings, financial difficulties or a general sense of discontent.
Choosing the date with care is one way to help your married life begin on a strong footing. A date alone cannot guarantee a happy marriage, but numerology is believed to make the start more supportive.
