This is a guesstimate chart anyway. One of the guests had problems parking and it kicked off late. I wasn't wearing a watch at the time and it wasn't the first thing I thought to ask when I was in the bridal suite later.

As I lived with him for several years before this point I'm not convinced the Magi are onto a winner with this one.

It was just a legal nicety, useful as we have different nationalities.

lol, thanks to astrology, I've gotten so time-conscious. I can see myself saying, "I do," then yelling, "THE TIME? I NEED THE TIME!"

Look at geo, helio and declinations. Look for any aspects under 3 degrees and declinations under 1.2 in geo and 0.3 in helio, especially saturn to chiron aspects and venus/neptune and chiron.

Jupiter/Chiron in 1st marriage is not so amazing... and again, would be interesting to see your transits.

I totally trust Magi - l have been married twice and both the marriage CAC's AND the transits showed up a NO NO when l analysed them. Same for friends and my family.

You also had atomic Pluto squaring the sun, mars, and Neptune. Not good.

Also, the moon was opposing Chiron.

Venus was opposing the true node.

Earlier I looked at the chart, and I was surprised at how much the chart makes sense for us. Things that aren't necessarily good or bad, but are very "us."

As far as l know (and i've done quite a bit of Magi research plus l am a member) you look for declinations in both. I would look it up for you but sadly my PC that my Magi software is on has died!

actually in the geo you look at declination, but in the heliocentric zodiac you look at the latitude with an orb of 0.3.
Atleast this is what I Found on the Magi website.

Choosing a wedding date

The basics

Plan the union for an easygoing day. We all know that there are days when everyone seems to be in an easy mood (kiss), and there are days when folks are more tightly wound (quack). As above, so below— these “kisses and quacks1“ show up in the heavens, and we can look ahead to see what the planets will be doing on a potential wedding day. You need some kind of astrological calendar to find this. I have a list of transits for 2007 that you can download and use, or you can purchase an astrological calendar. Here’s 2008 as well.
We have individual kiss and quack days as well. As the planets move around the skies, they “zing” areas that are sensitive just for you— shown by your birth chart. Some of these transits are easy, and others are difficult. Maximize easy, peaceful transits, and minimize harsh ones for both partners.
The strongest planets flavor the chart most powerfully. Make sure the benefics, Venus and Jupiter, are well-placed and in good shape in the wedding chart.

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.

I am planning on getting married, getting ready to, if I decide it's a good idea. I am not engaged. I haven't accepted any proposals (two), but I am mulling over things.
