Auspicious Days in August 2026: Remaining Dates This Month

The remaining Auspicious Days in August 2026 on this almanac are 28 August (Jiaxu), marked Yi Jiaqu for marriage, and 30 August (Bingzi), marked Yi Jiaqu, Yi Chuxing, and Yi Xi for marriage, travel, and moving. 27 August is not for travel or weddings. If the ceremony, the trip, or the house keys still have to land this month, those two dates are the candidates left.

Put Friday the 28th on the wedding shortlist and Sunday the 30th on the wedding, travel, and moving shortlist. Leave Thursday the 27th off travel and wedding plans.

What is still open after 27 August

August 2026 is down to its last few days, and the Chinese Calendar does not treat every leftover square as interchangeable. Yi Jiaqu, Yi Chuxing, and Yi Xi are three separate marks. A day that carries marriage does not automatically carry travel, and a travel mark does not automatically cover a move-in.

Read the table for one act at a time. A wedding still has Friday the 28th and Sunday the 30th. A departure or a move-in has only Sunday the 30th. Family chats collapse those three acts into “late August”; the almanac keeps them on different lines, which is why this remaining list has two dates for marriage and one date for travel or moving.

Friday 28 August is the first of the two remaining candidates, a Jiaxu day marked Yi Jiaqu. Couples who still need a late-August ceremony can put this Friday on the shortlist, then call the venue, the registrar, and the guests. Relatives who want a honeymoon flight or a house handover on the same square will not find Yi Chuxing or Yi Xi here; those two marks wait until Bingzi on the 30th. The first listed jishi is Yin, 03:00–04:59, Siming, a window before dawn when banquet halls are closed, so book the clock the venue can staff.

Sunday 30 August is the last auspicious day in August 2026 this page will name, and the only remaining date marked Yi Jiaqu, Yi Chuxing, and Yi Xi together. A family that still has to marry, leave town, and hand over keys this month will feel the pull to stack all three on Bingzi, because the almanac finally prints all three on one line. One civil day still has one set of flights, one set of movers, and one set of relatives. The marks say the day is open for each act; they do not require the three acts to share the same morning. The first listed jishi is Zi, 00:00–00:59, Jinkui, midnight, when the civil date flips, so schedule against tickets, hotel check-in, and the management office.

27 August is the date people keep trying to use

27 August, a Thursday, is still on the wall calendar, and it is the day many readers open this page. It is not for travel or weddings. A couple hoping to squeeze the ceremony into this week while relatives are already in town, or a traveler staring at a fare for today, will want the page to yield. If the act is a wedding, look at Friday the 28th and Sunday the 30th. If the act is a departure, wait for Sunday the 30th.

The usual misread is to treat remaining days this month as a pool of equally good leftovers. The 27th is remaining in the sense that August has not ended. It is not remaining as an auspicious travel day or an auspicious wedding day. Another misread is to borrow Yi Jiaqu from the 28th and slide it one day earlier because the banquet is already paid. The marks do not slide. If Thursday is the only day the hall is free, the hall decides the date and the almanac is set aside, which is a scheduling choice you make with your eyes open. Guests already in the air on the 27th are on their own itinerary; a guest’s Thursday arrival does not become Yi Jiaqu or Yi Chuxing for the hosts.

People also try to rescue Thursday by renaming the act. A “quick dinner with both families” that is in fact the wedding banquet, or a “short hop” that is in fact the honeymoon departure, still sits under marriage or travel. Changing the nickname on the group chat does not change the mark. If the event is a wedding or a trip, Thursday stays off the remaining candidate list unless the ticket is already locked and the choice has left the page.

Where Friday and Sunday get swapped

The next error is to copy Friday’s marriage mark onto Sunday and assume every leftover weekend day works the same way. Sunday does carry Yi Jiaqu, so a wedding on the 30th is still on the remaining list. Friday is the earlier marriage day; Sunday is the only remaining day that also opens travel and moving. Choose by the act you still have to finish this month, not by which row looks busier. Days that do not appear here as Yi Jiaqu, Yi Chuxing, or Yi Xi are not secret candidates.

Yin on Friday and Zi on Sunday are the first named windows, and both fall while the city is asleep. Readers who think an auspicious day is unusable because they cannot hold a banquet at 03:00 or collect keys at midnight are mixing the day mark with the first jishi. The day can still be used at the hour the vendor works. This page does not add extra hours beyond those two opening windows.

Tickets, hotels, and building management

Tickets, hotels, and building management outrank the almanac. A locked-in fare, a non-refundable room, or a move-in slot the property office will only staff on a weekday morning is a harder constraint than a stem-branch on the page. Use the remaining dates when you still have a choice. When the choice is already gone, keep the booking. If the property will only hand over keys on Friday morning, that Friday is not Yi Xi on this list, and the office still wins.

Later months if August is already too tight

If the remaining two days cannot take the event, the marriage shortlist for a later spring sits on Auspicious Wedding Dates in May 2027, and the travel shortlist on Auspicious Dates for Travel in May 2027. Those pages are for people who can wait, and they do not replace 28 and 30 August when the event is this month.

This list is a reading of the remaining August 2026 marks for marriage, travel, and moving. It does not promise a smooth wedding, a safe journey, or a fortunate house. Schools of almanac selection differ on clashes, hour tables, and personal charts. When those readings disagree, keep the date that the tickets, the hotel, and the building office can actually honour.
