Marriage is a sanskar, not just a ritual—the arrival of Lakshmi in the house, the blessings of the Kuldevta, and the union of two families. Therefore, while choosing the marriage muhurat, everything from Panchang, Nakshatra, Tithi, Yoga-Karan to the rise and set of Venus–Jupiter stars is considered, so that the new married life can begin in auspicious moments.
In terms of the year: Which months are considered more auspicious?
January, February, March, May, June, November, and December—these months are said to have sufficient marriage muhurats available in 2025.
July, August, September, and October—these months generally do not have marriage muhurats available for 2025; this time is also considered due to the rainy season/Chaturmas, so it is better to postpone the marriage.
Post-Kartika period—Traditionally, the wedding season in northern India begins after Kartika and continues till Magha–Phalguna, and in some places, weddings are also held during Vaishakh–Jyeshtha when more auspicious dates are available.
Panchang Shuddhi (almanac purification) removes days when Venus and Jupiter are set/burnt; similarly, Adhik maas days are also excluded—only then are the real “auspicious” windows clearly visible.
Understand month-by-month (2025 context)
January–February: Wedding muhurats start from Makar Sankranti onwards; February has many dates that are favorable in terms of weather and logistics.
March: Spring weather, open skies—many places have comfortable muhurats for outdoor functions.
April–May: Despite the onset of summer, auspicious dates are available in good numbers; there is the merriment of Sayyad baraats around urban venues and festivals of deities.
June: Limited but workable shubh muhurats are available; weather is manageable in hilly/northern belts even then.
July–October: Usually marriage breaks—dates do not come up due to rains/Chaturmas and Venus–Jupiter star considerations; hence it is better to postpone the start of married life.
November: The most golden month—confluence of Kartik–Margashirsha, coolness, festive fervour; in 2025, especially, November has many Sayya dates available.
December: Winter sunshine, guest flow, destination planning—good muhurats are generally available.
Why are these months called shubh?
Astrological reasons: Favorable combination of Tithi–Nakshatra–Yog–Karan and the rise of Venus/Jupiter star—these together provide a gentle, peaceful, and growth-giving period for the marriage ceremony.
Season–Culture: Marriage festivals–traditions (marriages after Kartik Deepdaan, Gaunas of Magh–Phagun), ease of weather, convenience of hospitality—everything becomes favorable together.
Which months/times should be avoided?
Chaturmas and Adhikmas: There is a tradition of postponing the marriage ceremony during these periods; such dates are not taken out ilog karn Panchang Shuddhi.
Venus/Jupiter Set-Dasha: When the Venus star (beauty, marriage) and Jupiter star (religion, blessings) are considered burnt/set, marriage is not performed.
Practical suggestion: Also look at the convenience of home and family
Check the Muhurta only after deciding the city/place, because the auspicious date–time is location-based.
Venue, Pandit, Band–Baaja—the availability of all gets full in a short time in November–December; make bookings in advance.
Families who want destination or open-air should keep a special eye on February–March and November–December.
Simple, but profound
The real key to marriage is not just “a good month,” but the selection of date–lagna–nakshatra “according to both your horoscopes”; the same planetary force decides the direction of your married life. Therefore, before finalizing the date by looking at the newspaper list, it is wise to get a personal muhurat according to your horoscopes.
Conclusion: Now is the time to decide
If the question that is going on in your heart—“Which month is the most auspicious for our wedding?”—then the general rule is clear: In 2025, January–June and then November–December are considered most suitable, while July–October should be avoided. But the real victory is when that auspicious month matches the best Lagna–Nakshatra of your combined horoscopes—only then does the flow of happiness and prosperity in married life become sustainable.
