How to Choose Astrological Time for Getting Married

In astrology, each day has its unique qualities. It means, 11th of March is different from 12th of the same month, even though they both are weekdays and you are likely to follow the same routine! An astrologer can quantify time to its minute particle and tell which fragment of time is being influenced by which Celestial body. Or in simple terms, the astrologer tells you what energy each fragment of time holds. If you are fortunate to have your birth-chart perfectly prepared, an astrological expert can also tell you whether the influence of planets favors the energies or vibrations that you hold.

Electional astrology: Each moment of time is infused with certain combination of energies that has the potential of making an activity or event auspicious or inauspicious. Incidence of an event at an auspicious time holds the potential of making it successful. It is the technique to find the appropriate time when the favorable planetary energies will be supportive of maximum benefit and satisfaction of an occasion in one’s life. It is also known as event astrology.
