Industrialist Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani are set to get their son and billionaire heir, Anant Ambani, married to his longtime girlfriend Radhika Merchant on 12 July. The occasions, including the pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar in March 2024, leading up to the gala event have created a lot of buzz. Now, a star-studded wedding reception at Mumbai’s Jio World Convention Centre will follow the nuptial ceremony. If you are wondering why this day has been specifically chosen for this high-profile couple, here are all the details about the astrological significance of the wedding date of Radhika Merchant — Anant Ambani.
But first, how is an auspicious date chosen for a wedding?
Primarily, the birth charts of the bride and groom are analysed to decide upon a suitable date based on their Sun, Moon and rising sign. Besides this, several other aspects are taken into account while deciding upon this important date.
Planetary positions are looked into for relevant details between the Moon and Venus. The reason is that while the Moon controls one’s emotional world, Venus rules love and money matters.
Numerology also plays an important role in deciding the wedding date. Couples often choose a number close to them or relevant to their relationship. A powerful number like a seven is often considered because it indicates compatibility, spiritual awakening and prosperity.

There is an influence of the number seven here, as 12 July falls on the seventh day of the lunar fortnight and is known as ‘Saptami Tithi’. This is a favourable day to start a new venture, or project or get into a new relationship. This is a perfect start to a new life for Anant Ambani and Radhika.
The Moon, its orbit and the constellations occurring in this path are the recurring elements that are looked into while deciding a marriage date. Anant Ambani’s wedding falls on the day when the lunar mansion is positioned in Hasta Nakshatra. This is a great period to delve into art projects or start a new chapter in life. It is believed that couples who marry under this Nakshatra seek spiritual awakening and happiness. This also indicates that they will collaborate to start new profitable ventures.
According to the traditional Hindu Vedic calendar or the Panchang, 12 July is also marked by the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra up to 4.30 pm, which indicates that the couple will form a strong bond with each other and will devote their lives to the welfare of others. It also means that they will accumulate a considerable amount of wealth upon the fruition of this union.
If one looks at the waxing moon, this date falls in the Shukla Paksha, which is considered auspicious to start new things in life, including marriage.
Additionally, 12 July is considered to be a positive day full of brilliant possibilities because it falls on Ravi Yoga according to the Hindu calendar. The couple is said to be blessed with the power of good energies on this day.
Not to forget, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding is on a Friday, which is said to be ruled by Venus, guaranteeing them a lifetime of romance, love and good fortune.
