Auspicious wedding dates in Shanghai, China

May 2026 · Asia/Shanghai · ranked by panchānga (no birth chart needed)

Marriage muhūrtas: benefic waxing tithis, a Jupiter/Venus/Mercury weekday, an auspicious nakshatra and a benefic-owned rising sign. Each day below is scored purely on chart-independent factors — tithi, vāra, nakshatra, yoga and karana — with a good lagna window for Shanghai. See today's full panchāṅga for Shanghai →

These dates ignore your birth chart.

The classical method also weighs your janma nakshatra (tāra bala), Moon sign (chandra bala) and the muhūrta chart against your horoscope. Rank these same days for your chart — free, deterministic, no AI.
