Why April 2027 is the month to book
Try this today
- Saturday April 10 has about three void hours in the UTC day. Use the planner below to see them in your time zone and set the vows outside that window.
- Can't do April 8? April 15 and April 19 score nearly as high.
- Venus moves into Aries on April 20, which our score counts as a weaker placement. The best run ends with April 19.
If you are still choosing a month, here is the short version: April 2027. Nothing else in the year lines up this well.
Start with Venus, the planet of love and of marriage in the old texts. From March 26 to April 20 Venus sits in Pisces, its sign of exaltation. Mars turns direct on April 1 at 20°56′ Leo, ending its long retrograde, and Mercury has been direct since March 3. There is no eclipse within weeks.
Then the Moon does the rest. After the new moon on April 6 at 16°57′ Aries, a fresh crescent in Taurus on Thursday, April 8 makes its next aspect a sextile to Venus. That day scores 85, the highest of the year. Thursday, April 15 has the Moon in Leo heading for a conjunction with Jupiter, and Monday, April 19 has a Libra Moon, nearly full, sextile Jupiter. Both score 80.
And for the people who need a Saturday: April 10 (Moon in Gemini, sextile Jupiter) and April 17 (Moon in Virgo) both rate Best.
The sky behind it
6 of April's 30 days make Good or better; Apr 8 carries none of void Moon. How the scoring works.
| Date | Rating | Score | Moon | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thu, Apr 8 | Best | 85 | Taurus 3% waxing | + waxing crescent Moon, Moon in Taurus (exaltation), Venus in Pisces (exaltation) |
| Thu, Apr 15 | Best | 80 | Leo 67% waxing | + waxing gibbous Moon, Venus in Pisces (exaltation), Moon applies by conjunction to Jupiter |
| Mon, Apr 19 | Best | 80 | Libra 97% waxing | + waxing gibbous Moon, Venus in Pisces (exaltation), Moon applies by sextile to Jupiter |
| Sat, Apr 10 | Best | 74 | Gemini 15% waxing | + waxing crescent Moon, Venus in Pisces (exaltation), Moon applies by sextile to Jupiter |
| Sat, Apr 17 | Best | 70 | Virgo 86% waxing | + waxing gibbous Moon, Venus in Pisces (exaltation) |
| Mon, Apr 12 | Good | 71 | Cancer 34% waxing | + waxing crescent Moon, Moon in Cancer (domicile), Venus in Pisces (exaltation) · - Moon void for 7 h of the day |
The sky this month
Jupiter stations direct and the full moon lands in Scorpio
Jupiter, the traditional greater benefic, ends its own retrograde on April 13 at 17°00′ Leo. Two days later the waxing Moon passes over it. In electional practice a Moon heading for Jupiter or Venus is one of the classic signs of a kind beginning, and our score adds ten points for it.
The full moon comes on April 20 at 0°37′ Scorpio, the same day Venus leaves Pisces. After that the Moon wanes through the rest of the month, and the late-April days drop to Fair.
One practical note: a sky this good is not a secret, and April weekends book early. If your venue is already full on the 10th and 17th, the Thursday and Monday picks are just as strong, often cheaper, and your guests will remember the light.
