Auspicious Dates for Engagement — Singapore 2026
The next auspicious date for engagement in Singapore is 18 August 2026 (Tuesday), a Stable-officer Yellow Path day, according to the traditional Chinese almanac (Tong Sheng 通胜). 29 qualifying dates fall in the next four months; the full list is below. Dates are computed daily by Yixin Academy's almanac engine following the Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu (協紀辨方書) Twelve Day Officers tradition. One caution applies to everyone: if a date's clashed zodiac (冲) is your birth year animal, avoid it even if it is otherwise favourable.

How these dates are chosen
定 (Stable) is the engagement officer — its classical associations are betrothals and the sealing of agreements. 执 (Initiate) days govern betrothal gifts (纳采), making them equally traditional for proposal and gift-exchange rites. The wedding itself follows different rules — see the wedding page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best day for an engagement or betrothal (订婚纳采) in Singapore?
The nearest qualifying date is 18 August 2026, a 定 (Stable) day — the classical engagement officer, associated with betrothals and the sealing of agreements.
What's the difference between the engagement date and the wedding date?
定 governs betrothal energy; the wedding itself follows different officer rules (成 is the wedding officer) — see the wedding page for that election.
Should we also check both families' BaZi compatibility before the engagement?
It's worth doing early — compatibility factors can shape how the wedding itself is planned. Start with the free calculator, then consult for a full reading.
Core annotations only. A complete tongshu layers further star systems; personal date selection for major events requires a full BaZi reading.
