Auspicious Wedding Dates in May 2027 2027年5月结婚吉日
There are 14 auspicious wedding days in May 2027 according to the Chinese almanac (黄历). The best are Friday, May 28, 2027, Monday, May 31, 2027, Monday, May 3, 2027. Weekend options: Sat May 15, Sun May 9.
Computed from the traditional Chinese almanac (黄历 / 通书). May 2027 spans the 3rd and 4th lunar months of the 丁未 Fire Goat year. Solar terms this month: 立夏 (Start of Summer) on May 6 and 小满 (Grain Buds) on May 21.
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.
