She's thinking of getting married in early May. We advised her to consider getting married at the end of February -she'll be 6 months pregnant in early May :S - but she feels that, that would be too stressful for her. Too many things to arrange and too little time. They can't get married during March or April because our church doesn't allow weddings during lent.

Sooo I'm giving you their birth data and two possible dates so that we could maybe help her choose the best possible date?

Sister's birthdata: 7 march 1976, 00:25 AM, Heraklion, Crete, Greece
Sister's Fiance: 3 June 1978, 17:35 PM, Heraklion, Crete, Greece

The two possible dates we're looking into is

2 March 2008 16:00 PM Crete

OR

3 May 2008 17:00 Crete

I checked into the first date, March 2nd, and it's a good date for both of them, according to Magi astrology. Lots of favorable aspects for a lasting marriage. I didn't check into the synastry of the couple.

Congratulations on your sister's marriage and on your new addition to be!

You check what aspects the transiting planets make to eachother, as well as the aspects that the transits make to each person's natal chart.

You can create a "birth chart" for the wedding date at Astro.com. Check those aspects, then create the natals for the 2 people. Check the synastry of each person with the transits.

Here are a few things to look for:

"Good:
Waxing Moon trine or sextile Sun, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, or Neptune. Moon conjunct Sun, Venus, Jupiter, Neptune.
Venus is strongest in the signs of her rulership and exaltation: Taurus, Libra, Cancer and Pisces.
One of the easiest ways to strengthen the chart is to pick a time when Venus or Jupiter is close to the Midheaven or 7th house cusp of the chart. The Midheaven is especially important.
Venus (love) trine or sextile Saturn (stability, endurance and tradition). Other planets in easy aspect to Saturn are also good. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter.
Venus, Sun, Moon, Mercury, or Saturn trine, sextile, conjunct, or opposite Jupiter is lucky, optimistic and bounces back from trouble easily. Mars with Jupiter is especially lucky.
Venus conjunct, trine, sextile or opposite Mars supports a healthy sex life.
Venus, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, or Saturn in easy aspect to Neptune supports compassion and spiritual growth.

Avoid:
Venus retrograde
Waning or void of course Moon
Venus conjunct, square or opposite Saturn. Saturn stabilizes but can be like a wet blanket on Venus. It may work if there are other planets in supportive aspects (trine, sextile) to the conjunction or opposition. You definitely don’t want anything else squaring it.
Moon conjunct or square Mars, Saturn, or Pluto.
Venus in the signs of her detriment and fall: Scorpio, Aries, Capricorn and Virgo. These signs may work if Venus is very well aspected, strongly placed, and in harmony with both natal charts.
Mars under stress (squares, oppositions, some conjunctions) is passionate and sexual, but can also indicate fighting and arguments.
Saturn, Uranus, or Mars in an angular house (unless Mars is conjunct Venus).
Finer points
Having the rulers of the 1st and 7th houses in a favorable aspect is good.
If you can’t put Venus or Jupiter on an angle, see if you can put the Venus/Jupiter midpoint there.
Unfortunately, we can’t arrange the planets to our liking. We have to work with the planets and what they are doing, and there is no perfect chart. A few klunkers are unavoidable. In fact, a chart without klunkers tends to be weak and lacks focus. Imagine how boring life would be if there were only sweet, and no bitter.

But you don’t want the klunkers driving the bus in your marriage chart. Let’s say in your chart the Moon trines Venus— good! But she squares Uranus— hmmm… The thing to do here is look for a time when Venus is in an angular house and Uranus is not. Remember, the angular houses are much more powerful. Planets in angular houses “have the microphone” in the chart. In a harmonious wedding chart, the happier planets hold the mike. In a discordant chart, planets under stress hold the mike."
