Auspicious Wedding Dates in April 2027 2027年4月结婚吉日
There are 8 auspicious wedding days in April 2027 according to the Chinese almanac (黄历). The best are Saturday, April 17, 2027, Thursday, April 29, 2027, Monday, April 5, 2027. Weekend options: Sat Apr 17, Sat Apr 3.
Computed from the traditional Chinese almanac (黄历 / 通书). April 2027 spans the 2nd and 3rd lunar months of the 丁未 Fire Goat year. Solar terms this month: 清明 (Pure Brightness) on Apr 5 and 谷雨 (Grain Rain) on Apr 20.
Folk note: 丁未 Fire Goat year (2027-02-06 – 2028-01-25) has no 立春 (Start of Spring). Traditionally called a “blind year” or “widow year” (无春年 / 寡妇年), some older relatives prefer not to hold weddings in it. Most modern couples ignore this; if your family cares, look at dates before 2027-02-06 or after 2028-01-25.
