Influence and characteristics of the Moon on December 18, 2026

At midday, the Moon is in the Aries ♈ (±).

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.

The middle of the day falls on the 10 lunar day (+).

This is the best time of the lunar cycle to get married. Couples who marry on this day will enjoy mutual understanding, cohesion and respect for each other.

Current phase – Waxing Gibbous (+).

This is a favourable time for marriages based on love rather than self-interest and calculation. If you have confidence in your partner, if your feelings have been tested by time and trials, then go ahead and marry.

Influence of the day of the week – Friday (+).

Friday is under the patronage of Venus and is therefore the best time to enter into a marriage. The family will be strong and happy for many decades.
