Most families will consult with an astrologer who will give them an accurate idea of the astrological convergences during the next six months. They are also consulted to advise on a wedding date. As a result, almost all inauspicious dates are already noted well before hand by the family astrologer and both families. But apart from that here are a few dates you should avoid as they are considered bad luck all over the world.
Friday the 13th is one such date that almost everyone is aware of. Future days that fall on a Friday include May 13, 2011, January 13, 2012, April 13, 2012 and July 13, 2012
