On May 17 at 12:00 pm the Moon will be in the Waning Crescent phase in the zodiacal constellation of Aries ♈, according to the calendar it is the 28 lunar day. The percentage of lunar illumination on this day is about 6%. Moonrise will occur at 3:09 am and sunset at 5:25 pm.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so the couple who wed on this day will be the first in everything. There is a downside to being the first, however - you will often find yourself wondering who is in charge in the family.
For inexperienced couples, getting married on this day means constant dependence on parents, while for more independent partners it is a good time to get married.
This is not a good time for lavish wedding celebrations. On this day, it is advisable to marry only those couples who are prepared to spend a minimum of money and have a modest registration at the registry office.
Wednesday is under the power of Mercury, which is not known for its consistency. The union made on this day can be bright, but not long lasting.
