The Zodiac and Marriage

Aries, Aries rising, Mars dominant, or strong 1st House

This is typically a decision which must be carefully thought over. You are absolutely able to rush to the altar on impulse. One may wonder if the Las Vegas-style concept has not been invented for you.

Furthermore, you are the all or nothing type. For instance, you may vilify this institution for years and suddenly become an apostle of marriage.

Having said this, you deem that the ceremony should be limited to the basics: two witnesses, a registrar, maybe a few friends or, in any case, just the family you have created for yourself.

You do not want anything fancy. You may choose a very simple dress, and even the bare minimum demanded by social conventions if you are a male. You are not too interested in feasts either. However, you are likely to dance the whole night away!

Taurus, Taurus rising, Venus dominant, or strong 2nd House

Do you visualise correctly the country-style party? The bride wears in her hair a garland of roses, fresh ones of course, in addition to a magnificent bouquet. The groom looks great, seemingly relaxed and dressed like a gentleman farmer. This is, in your head, what the beautiful pair you form for your wedding must look like. Indeed, it is true that you think of it quite a long time before going to the registry office.

Once you are certain your commitment can last your lifetime, you insist that everything is organised according to the tradition. Besides, you are delighted at the prospect of experiencing a festive and warm moment, sharing emotions, eating fine food, listening to music, and singing. Is it necessary to add that elaborating the menu will be the object of your loving care?

Gemini, Gemini rising, Mercury dominant, or strong 3rd House

A perpetual adolescent, regardless of your real age, you are ready to get married in jeans. Nonconformism is in any case a key condition to accept to tie the knot.

You used to believe a priori that this commitment was rather for your parents, or even your ancestors. But it happens that, under the spell of a burst of romanticism – after all, you are looking for your soul mate – you too decide to get married.

However, it is out of the question to go through a host of constraints and their inherent risks. You are unwilling to invite your nagging aunt or your doting father-in-law. The ceremony is likely to be an informal gathering with friends, with DJ, and with drinks in abundance.

As for the wedding banquet, it is probably pot luck... It is just to share a nice moment, and perhaps to make offbeat speeches, with your legendary humour...

Cancer, Cancer rising, the Moon dominant, or strong 4th House

If you were not shy, you would advocate the cause of marriage. In a soft voice, you sometimes enumerate the one thousand and one delights of this institution which has proved its worth. You definitely believe in it, and publicly declaring your faith in the other one moves you deeply.

Your dream is to answer "I do" in an American movie-style, at home. The bride would arrive holding her father’s arm. She would wear the good luck charms required by the tradition: something new, something ancient – often lent by Mummy – and something blue. Just to give yourself the best chances. As for the groom, there is no danger that he changes his mind before taking the oath.

Let’s not forget that a Cancer marriage always involves floods of tears. Therefore, tell your friends and relatives to bring their supplies of handkerchiefs. And to finish, throw your bouquet to your female guests...

Leo, Leo rising, the Sun dominant, or strong 5th House

To find a model of wedding, you look at what is practiced by the Windsors or the Monacos. They give you interesting ideas...

The ceremony must impress. Carefully selected guests are warned that the dress code is to be fully respected. Your witnesses must look elegant... but less that the bride – incomparable, please – or the groom. Their attire is designed by posh couturiers. Above all, there is a diamond as big as the Ritz.

The setting matches your megalomania in this special day. Depending on your budget, choose a palace or an estate having something magic. Ideally, your wedding would take place in a sunny place (your element), in a park or even on a beach. The banquet would be sumptuous, and the table seating plan, as formal as the etiquette in force at the court of Louis XIV.

With an address book and with references that you have carefully selected, you can rest assured that every detail is meticulously addressed and that you avoid last minute surprises, your major concern on D-Day.

You are cautious regarding the budget (oh yes!). You check the quality-price ratio like for any ordinary contract, you who are so reasonable.

You are most unlikely to splurge on a wedding gown, worn once only, or on a rapidly swallowed feast, in your opinion. What is important to you is to legalise a commitment, to spend a moment when your faith and your trust are shared with a small group of friends and relatives who are close to you.

Although your approach may be too rational, it has the virtue of being a lasting one, because it will not be difficult for you to get back to your daily routine, once you have said "I do".

You need a venue with a history, such as an exclusive residence having an inspiring name. It bears the mark of your both glamorous and elegant style.

Why are you getting married? With your taste for mystery, it is possible that even your friends and relatives had suspected nothing, and that you secretly enjoy keeping the reasons unexplained. They are yours exclusively, but it is most likely that you have decided to commit yourself stirred by passion and not by reason.

Given your strong personality, your marriage must be an outstanding one. You may opt for provocation, wear gothic attire or even forget the usual ceremony and get a guru who can bring in some mystical dimension.

Regarding the meal, you do not want a banquet with endless dishes served. On the other hand, alcohol can flow freely, this is not a problem.

And you wait until all the guests are very busy to slip away discreetly.

Sagittarius, Sagittarius rising, Jupiter dominant, or strong 9th House

Although you love freedom, you are not necessarily against certain bourgeois codes. Among them, marriage is something you like.

If it is about being with the people you appreciate, celebrating, feasting, and dancing, then, you are ready to take the plunge.

At times, influenced by a dash of vanity, you get carried away, and you look at everything on a large scale. Ideally, you would welcome your guests in a palace, and you would spend lavishly, including for your own attire. Moreover, you try to give the ceremony a spiritual meaning, whether it is in a church or in a Buddhist temple.

The honeymoon is what you appreciate most in a wedding. Your guests do not have to think a lot to find what makes you happy. The most important thing is that you can travel to the other end of the world using this perfect excuse.

Capricorn, Capricorn rising, Saturn dominant, or strong 10th House

Serious, faithful, and respectful of traditions, it is obvious that you have nothing against marriage. However, you avoid it for years, saying that you need to be sure that you have found the right person.

Because you are quite a loner, and your career is your main concern, you may take your time. But once you make up your mind, you carefully organise a ceremony which reflects your decision.

You often prefer some sort of formalism, such as going to the registry office wearing an elegant but discreet suit. The friends and relatives you invite belong to your inner circle. You do not need much to have an enjoyable wedding.

You are very likely to seize this opportunity to pay tribute to your respective parents.

The only concession you may consider would be to include your professional entourage, just to show that, here also, you observe the proprieties, and you are trustworthy.

Aquarius, Aquarius rising, Uranus dominant, or strong 11th House

Since you are a partisan of common-law relationships, why would you get married? Well, this can nonetheless happen, and to explain why, you may find excellent arguments which have nothing to do with social traditions.

For instance, you may get married as a reaction to a boho family which has upset you by criticizing your commitment. You may also say “I do” to a much older or younger person, from a different religion or skin colour.

One might as well say that you are militantly in favour of gay marriage, and that nothing shocks you as good or bad reasons. On the contrary, it is conformism which scandalises you.

After having done strictly what is necessary on the formal point of view, you revel in an improvised party, with frenzy and music through the night.

Pisces, Pisces rising, Neptune dominant, or strong 12th House

A little romantic mermaid or a 21st century troubadour, poetry is a must for your wedding.

It may be advisable to delegate administrative formalities to someone else, as this is not your forte.

You are very fond of the symbolism of the gesture, and you focus on the crucial moment when the groom turns his head to see the bride stepping in. You may be even more excited if there is a religious ceremony instead of a civil one only, because you are engaging in a spiritual and symbiotic relationship.

In everyday life, trivial things bring tears in your eyes. Therefore, imagine the impact of such a special day! An aesthete, you are willing to give it a magic meaning. Music, beautiful pictures reflecting the ambiance, the participation of everyone, all this is important to you. It is in such timeless moments that you draw the strength to put up with burdensome routine.
