Auspicious Days to Change Your Wallet
It is said that the day you start using your wallet is more important than when you buy it.
Also, rather than waiting for a lucky day, it's best to choose a day that feels right to you, even if it's sooner.
It's important to feel happy and joyful about using your new wallet.
However, you probably want to know more about auspicious days to choose an even better day that resonates with you.
Let's look at the auspicious days that are said to improve your financial luck.
▲Uses rare snake leather from a domestic tannery that also produces leather for high-end European brands. Gold leaf is then applied by hand, piece by piece, by craftsmen.
Ichiryu Manbai Day
This day is likened to an ear of rice that produces a bountiful harvest from a single grain, meaning that something small can grow into something large. It is considered a good day to start things you want to grow many times over.
Applying this analogy to money, it is said to be a day when money can multiply (increase) many times over, making it an ideal day to improve financial fortune.
Furthermore, since Ichiryu Manbai Day is when things return manifold, a day that overlaps with other auspicious days is considered the strongest.
It seems like a good idea to start things that involve steady effort or growing small things into big ones!
Why not take this opportunity to start something new?
Please be careful, as hardships might multiply many times over!
Tora no Hi (Day of the Tiger)
This auspicious day comes from the zodiac sign Tiger (Tora) and occurs every 12 days.
Because tigers have golden stripes, they have been considered a "symbol of financial luck."
Likened to a tiger that "travels a thousand li and returns a thousand li," it is said to be a good day for journeys, ensuring a safe return. By applying the meaning of money returning after being spent, it is also called "Kin'un Shorai Day" (Day of Financial Fortune Bringing).
It is said that spending money is good on this day, so big purchases are recommended.
Due to the meaning of "returning," it is advised to avoid things that would return immediately.
Tensha Nichi (Tensha-bi)
This day is considered "the day when heaven forgives all things and sins," making it the best auspicious day for everything to go well. It is a good day to start things you've been hesitant to begin or new endeavors.
It is said that if it overlaps with other inauspicious days (such as Butsumetsu or Fujoju-bi), its power is halved, but it still remains the best day.
Since it's the best day to start something, why not begin things you want to develop or succeed in?
Just because it's a day when everything is forgiven doesn't mean anything goes! You should absolutely not do anything socially unacceptable or against the law.
Tsuchinoto-Mi no Hi (Day of the Earth Snake)
Mi no Hi (Day of the Snake) is one of the days assigned every 12 days in the Chinese zodiac. Mi = Snake.
Among the "Mi no Hi," the day that overlaps with the Jikkan (Ten Heavenly Stems) "Tsuchinoto" (Earth) is called "Tsuchinoto-Mi no Hi." Since "Tsuchinoto" and "Mi" overlap, it is a particularly auspicious day. As Tsuchinoto-Mi no Hi only occurs once every 60 days, about 6 times a year, it is considered very lucky and especially good for improving financial fortune.
It is said that how you act on Mi no Hi or Tsuchinoto-Mi no Hi changes how you attract financial luck.
Rokuyo
Rokuyo consists of six days: "Sensho, Tomobiki, Senbu, Butsumetsu, Taian, and Shakku," and is used to predict good and bad fortune.
It is so common that it is even listed on calendars and used to decide dates for auspicious and inauspicious events. Although it contains words that evoke religion, it is said to have no connection to religion whatsoever.
▲Uses carefully selected Italian genuine leather. Characterized by a soft, moist texture and foil processing that resists peeling, its elegant luster makes it very popular among adult women. Lucky color "Champagne Green" is now on sale
What Season is Recommended for Starting to Use a Wallet?
If you weren't able to start using your wallet on one of the auspicious days mentioned earlier, how about considering the season? The seasons considered good for starting to use a wallet are spring, autumn, and year-end.
Spring
Spring (Haru) is considered auspicious due to the wordplay with "Haru" (張る), meaning to swell or be full, implying that the wallet will be filled with money.
Autumn
Autumn is associated with harvest, suggesting that the wallet will "bear fruit," meaning it will accumulate money.
Year-end
From the wordplay of starting to use a wallet at the end (shime) of the year, it is said that the wallet will "tighten" (shimeru), preventing wasteful spending.
Moon Bathing on a Full Moon Night?
Wallets (and money) have a deep connection with the moon, and "moon bathing," where you shake your wallet towards the moon on a full moon night, has become popular.
This is a type of charm, and its effect is said to increase further when a full moon coincides with Tensha Nichi or Ichiryu Manbai Day.
Method and Tips
(1) Empty your wallet
Remove everything from your wallet and discard unnecessary items.
(2) Express gratitude and don't make wishes
Simply shake your empty wallet towards the moon, but remember to express your daily gratitude. Please, whatever you do, don't say, "Give me money!" (laughs)
(3) Let it rest overnight after moon bathing
Allowing it to rest overnight allows the power to permeate. Also, when returning money, arrange the bills in the same direction. Facing the bills downwards makes it harder for them to leave, thus helping money accumulate.
(4) How much should you shake your wallet?
You should shake it for as long as you feel comfortable. It's better to feel grateful and say "Thank you" with a relaxed mind than to shake it for a long time in discomfort just to get more power. Remember that it's easier to accumulate power when you feel grateful.
(5) Is one moon bath effective?
The duration of the power is said to be the same as the moon's cycle. Whether you felt the effect after one time or not, it's said to be good to continue moon bathing on full moon nights.
Please refer to the calendar below, which also includes the full moon dates, if you wish.
Danger! Be Careful on This Day! "Fujoju-bi" (Day of No Accomplishment)
This day is considered one where nothing goes well and good results cannot be achieved. The method for selecting this day is said to be the same as for Tensha Nichi.
On this day, it's best to avoid major turning points and take it easy.
However, worrying too much about dates can lead to missing opportunities, which would be counterproductive. Don't worry too much, and try to make your plans.
▲Uses Italian genuine leather known for its vibrant colors and soft, moist texture. The leather's grain pattern makes scratches less noticeable and offers high water repellency. Lucky color "Green Gold" is now on sale
When are the Strongest Lucky Days in the Second Half of 2026?
December 16th is truly the strongest lucky day, combining Ichiryu Manbai Day, Tensha Nichi, Ten'on Nichi, and Kōshi.
December 16 (Wednesday)
Ichiryu Manbai Day × Tensha Nichi × Ten'on Nichi × Kōshi
"Ten'on Nichi" (Day of Heavenly Grace) is considered a good day to start new things, as it is a day when one can receive blessings from heaven.
In 2026, there's another major lucky day at the end of the year. In the first half of 2027, April 29th will be a day when "Tensha Nichi" and "Tora no Hi" (Day of the Tiger), which brings financial luck, overlap. Something good might happen, so let's look at each in more detail.
