Choosing your wedding date - does the stars agree?

May brides and grooms now are getting more and more concerned about how the stars will affect their marriage, and many are asking help from Feng Shui masters to choose the date of their marriage.

Here are some general tips that may be of help:

Selecting a year, month, and date begins with determining the animal signs of both the bride and groom.

• It is extremely lucky if you choose a year that matches either the bride or groom's animal sign- whoever is the major breadwinner will be favored by choosing his/her year;

• You should avoid getting married in a Conflict Animal year for both the bride and the groom's animal signs.

Base on the Chinese Calendar, here are the auspicious dates in 2007 that you should avoid:

JANUARY: 2,9,11,15,27
FEBRUARY: 1,5,6,11,14,17,27
MARCH: 1,7,11,17
