Here’s an excerpt from our interview:
Empowering Astrology: Can you walk me through a simplified process of selecting a time [to get married]?
April Elliott Kent: [Laughs] There are a number of things you can narrow it down to pretty quickly. First you have to eliminate every day in the year when Venus is retrograde because Venus is the big marriage planet. It’s not the only important marriage planet, but it is vitally important. And you just don’t get married when Venus is retrograde. And that’s once every 18 months. So you take out those dates.
And then I eliminate all the days that Mercury is retrograde because Mercury is just aggravating when it’s retrograde. It’s not going to ruin the marriage, but why would you . . . the logistical complications of weddings are maddeningly enough without bring Mercury retrograde into the picture. I can think off the top of my head three couples who got married with Mercury retrograde. Their marriage is fine. They are happy. But their whole marriage has been very Mercury retrograde. Every time they try to go away together the weather is terrible, they have transportation problems, it’s crazy. So take those dates out. Read more
