Auspicious Wedding Dates in September 2028 2028年9月结婚吉日
There are 11 auspicious wedding days in September 2028 according to the Chinese almanac (黄历). The best are Friday, September 29, 2028, Friday, September 22, 2028, Monday, September 25, 2028. Weekend options: Sat Sep 30.
Computed from the traditional Chinese almanac (黄历 / 通书). September 2028 spans the 7th and 8th lunar months of the 戊申 Earth Monkey year. Solar terms this month: 白露 (White Dew) on Sep 7 and 秋分 (Autumn Equinox) on Sep 22.
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.
Part of this month falls in the 7th lunar month (Ghost Month, 鬼月), when many families avoid weddings. Dates in it are marked “Ghost Month” below and left out of our top picks.
