Should I use my chart or my partner’s?

Yours, since you are the one choosing the moment and asking. A reading that finds days favourable for both charts at once is a genuinely different calculation — it is on the list of things to build, and is not what this does today.

Does it matter what time of day I propose?

It is one of the strongest signals available for this occasion, because the Moon can shift character within a single day and you almost always control the hour. Every result names the best window it found.

What if the best day is months away?

A pass searches a range and ranks every day in it, so you can see a whole season at once rather than checking one day at a time. The one-year pass and the date report both cover more than six months per search.

Can I get something to keep or show someone?

The date report tier includes a typeset PDF with your chart drawn, the ranked days and the reasoning written out — the version you can send to a partner, a planner or your parents.

Best day for

The best day to propose

A proposal is one moment that you only get to hold once. This ranks the days ahead against your own chart, gives you the strongest hour of each, and is direct about the days tradition says to leave alone.

Check a day, free

A single moment, not a process

Unlike a negotiation or an interview, a proposal is not something you work through — it is a moment that either lands or does not. That changes what matters. The Moon carries far more weight here than it does for anything professional, because the Moon is the mood of the hour rather than the shape of the day.

Venus leads, as you would expect, and is weighted almost at the top of its range. What Venus is doing against your own chart is the difference between a day that is generally pleasant and a day that is pleasant for you specifically.

The hour matters more than usual

Six hours of each day are scored and the best is reported. For a proposal this is the most useful output on the page: you are almost certainly free to choose the hour, and the Moon can move enough within a single day to change the character of the evening.

The hours are the unequal planetary hours of tradition, measured from local sunrise, which is why they shift with the season and why the place is worth setting if you are proposing somewhere far from home.

It will tell you to wait

If the coming weeks are poor, you are told plainly rather than handed the least-bad evening described as a good one. For a proposal that is the whole value of asking — there is usually no deadline, and waiting three weeks costs nothing.

And the obvious limit, said once: this is about timing. Whether they say yes is a matter between the two of you, and no arrangement of planets has an opinion worth acting on there.

What the scoring weighs for marriage proposal

A single emotional moment. The Moon and Venus carry it; Venus retrograde is the classic warning against proposing.

Planets that matter most

♀ Venus×1.6
☽ Moon×1.3
♃ Jupiter×1.1
☉ Sun×0.9
♄ Saturn×0.7

Points in your chart

♀ Venus×1.6
☽ Moon×1.3
AC Ascendant×1
☉ Sun×1

A favoured day or planetary hour ruled by ♀ Venus, ♃ Jupiter, ☽ Moon adds a little more. The numbers are multipliers on each aspect found, not a score out of ten — they decide what counts, not what the answer is.

What it warns you about

Venus retrograde
The classic warning against proposing, and the single heaviest penalty in the scoring for this occasion. Traditionally a period for reconsidering what you value rather than committing to it.
A void-of-course Moon
The Moon has finished its last aspect before changing sign, and is held to be barren for beginnings. Penalised harder here than for professional occasions.
A waning Moon
A modest factor rather than a veto, but it counts for more here than at work: a commitment meant to grow is traditionally begun while the Moon is filling.

Check a day for marriage proposal

One day at a time is free and holds nothing back. Your birth details are used to calculate your chart and are never stored. A pass searches a range and ranks every day in it.

About you

Used to build your birth chart. Calculated, returned, and never stored.

Date of birth

Time of birth

Local clock time where you were born. If unknown, 12:00 is the usual stand-in — the Moon and the angles lose precision.

Place of birth

Needed for your Ascendant and Midheaven.

When might it happen?

Which day are you considering?

Where will it happen? (optional)

Only worth setting if the event is in a different time zone from your birth place — it decides which local hours are scored, and the planetary hours from local sunrise.

Checking one day is free, in full — every aspect, the best hour, any warnings. A pass searches up to a full year and ranks every day.
