|---|
| Venus | About 6 July to 17 September | A long Shukra Asta; wedding muhurats are scarce |
| Jupiter | About 16 August to 15 September | Guru Asta overlaps with Venus combustion |
With both Venus and Jupiter combust from mid-August to mid-September, late summer 2027 is traditionally one of the quietest periods for weddings.
