Folk note: 戊申 Earth Monkey year (2028-01-26 – 2029-02-12) contains two 立春 (Start of Spring) dates. This “double spring” year (双春年) is traditionally considered especially lucky for weddings, so popular dates and venues book up early.

How to use these dates
Start from the table, drop any day that clashes with your or your partner’s zodiac animal, then check the practical things: venue, travel, the family calendar. Many families also ask an elder or a 择日 master to check against each person’s bazi (八字). You can check a single day in our auspicious-date finder or read the full 宜/忌 for any day in the calendar.
