Influence and characteristics of the Moon on May 17, 2026
At midday, the Moon is in the Gemini ♊ (±).
Gemini is the patron saint of active fidgety people who are constantly exploring new horizons. If you are one of them, you can play your wedding on this day.

Taking a break will be the most sensible decision on this day. If the feelings are strong and the decision to marry comes from the heart, a short break will not be a hindrance.

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.

A great day for a wedding ceremony. Sunday is under the guidance of the sun, which means that in such a family there will be warmth of heart, care for each other and mutual understanding.
