Influence and characteristics of the Moon on May 19, 2026

At midday, the Moon is in the Cancer ♋ (+).

The Moon in Cancer is one of the most auspicious periods for a marriage. Such a family will be very strong, inseparable and friendly for life.

The middle of the day falls on the 4 lunar day ().

Not a good day for a wedding. The newlyweds will be characterised by categorical and constant clarification of rights rather than mutual understanding and respect.

Current phase – Waxing Crescent (+).

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 – Tuesday ().

Tuesday is patronised by warlike Mars, so it is better not to get married on this day. There is a high risk of conflicts and quarrels between the newlyweds.
