Auspicious Days to Change Your Wallet
It is said that the **day you start using your wallet is more important than the timing of replacing it**.
Also, rather than waiting for an auspicious day, the best day is one that feels right to you in the near future.
It's important that you feel joy and happiness when using your newly purchased wallet.
That said, you probably still want to learn more about auspicious days and find a day that feels even more fortunate.
Let's take a look at the lucky days that lead to improved financial luck.
▲Uses rare snake leather commissioned from a Japanese tanner who also makes leather for high-end European brands. Craftsmen apply gold leaf by hand, one by one.
Ichiryū Manbai Bi (Day of Ten Thousandfold Return)
This day is said to be good for starting things you want to grow significantly, likening it to "a single grain of rice growing into a rice plant that bears many ears," meaning something small can grow into something large.
Applying this analogy to money, it's considered a day when money inflates (increases) many times over, making it an ideal day for improving financial luck.
Furthermore, because an Ichiryū Manbai Bi means things return ten thousandfold, it's said to be the strongest when it coincides with other auspicious days.
It seems good to start things that involve steady effort or growing something small into something large!
Why not take this opportunity to start something yourself?
Please be careful, as hardships might also increase many times over!
Tora no Hi (Day of the Tiger)
This auspicious day comes from the zodiac sign of the Tiger (tora) and recurs every 12 days.
Because tigers have golden striped bodies, they have long been considered a "symbol of financial luck."
Likening it to a tiger that "travels a thousand li and returns a thousand li," it is said to be a good day for departures, where you can travel safely and return. By applying the meaning that money that goes out will return, it is also called "Kin'un Shōrai Bi" (Day of Inviting Financial Luck).
It is said that spending money is good, so big purchases are recommended.
From the meaning of "returning," it is generally advised to avoid things that come back quickly.
Tensha Nichi (Day of Heavenly Forgiveness)
This day is believed to be when "heaven forgives all things and sins," and is considered the best auspicious day for everything to go well. It is a good day to start things you've been hesitant about, or to embark on new endeavors.
It is said that if it coincides with other inauspicious days (such as Butsumetsu or Fujōjūbi), its power is halved, but it remains one of the best days.
Since it's the best day to start something new, why not begin something you want to develop or succeed in?
Just because it's a day when anything is forgiven doesn't mean you can do anything! Of course, things that are socially unacceptable or break the law should not be done.
Tsuchinoe-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 day.
Among these "Mi no Hi," the day that coincides with the Jikkan (Ten Heavenly Stems) "Tsuchinoe" (earth-elder brother) is called "Tsuchinoe-Mi no Hi." Because Tsuchinoe and Mi overlap, it is a particularly auspicious day. Since Tsuchinoe-Mi no Hi occurs only once every 60 days, or about 6 times a year, it is considered a very lucky day, especially for improving financial fortune.
It is said that how you act on Mi no Hi or Tsuchinoe-Mi no Hi can change how you attract financial luck.
Rokuyō (Six-Day Cycle)
It consists of six days: "Senshō, Tomobiki, Senbu, Butsumetsu, Taian, Shakku," and is used to predict good and bad fortune.
It is so common that it is listed on calendars and is used to decide dates for celebrations and funerals. Although it contains words that suggest religion, it is said to have no relation to it whatsoever.
▲Uses carefully selected Italian genuine leather. It features a soft, moist texture and foil processing that is resistant to peeling, with an elegant sheen that is very popular among adult women for a mini-wallet. **Auspicious color "Champagne Green" currently on sale**
What is the best season to start using a wallet?
If you couldn't start using your wallet on one of the auspicious days mentioned earlier, how about considering the season? The seasons considered good for starting a new wallet are spring, autumn, and the end of the year.
Spring
Spring is associated with good luck, using a pun "haru" (spring) also meaning "to swell" or "to be full," suggesting the wallet will be filled with money.
Autumn
Autumn, with its image of harvest, is associated with the wallet bearing fruit, meaning it will become a wallet that can save money.
Year-end
From the pun of a wallet started at the end of the year ("shime" meaning both "end" and "tighten"), it is said that the wallet will tighten and prevent wasteful spending.
Moonbathing on a Full Moon Night?
Wallets (money) and the moon have a deep connection, and "moonbathing" 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 be even greater when a full moon coincides with a Tensha Nichi or an Ichiryū Manbai Bi.
Method and Tips
(1) Empty Your Wallet
Remove everything from your wallet and discard unnecessary items.
(2) Express Gratitude, Make No Wishes
Simply shake your empty wallet towards the moon, but express your daily gratitude. And definitely don't say, "Give me money!" (laughs)
(3) Let It Rest Overnight After Moonbathing
By letting it rest overnight, the power permeates. Also, when returning money, align the bills. Facing the heads downwards makes it harder for bills to leave, making it easier to save money.
(4) How long should I shake my wallet?
It's fine to do it for as long as you don't feel uncomfortable. Remember that it's easier to accumulate power if you feel a sense of gratitude and ease by saying "thank you" rather than shaking it for a long time and feeling distressed just because you want a lot of power.
(5) Does one moonbath have an effect?
The duration of the power is said to be the same as the lunar cycle. Whether you felt an effect from one time or not, it's said to be good to continue moonbathing on full moon nights.
Please refer to the calendar below for full moon dates.
Beware! Be careful on this day! "Fujōjūbi" (Day of Non-Achievement)
This day is said to be one where nothing goes well and no good results are obtained. It seems that the dates are selected using the same method as Tensha Nichi.
On this day, it's best to avoid major turning points and instead take a relaxing break.
However, if you worry too much about the dates, you might miss your timing, which would be counterproductive. Don't worry too much, and try to make your plans.
▲Uses Italian genuine leather characterized by its vibrant colors and soft, moist texture. The grain on the leather surface makes scratches less noticeable, and the leather is also highly water-repellent. **Auspicious color "Green Gold" currently on sale**
