Thursday, December 26, Today is the Day of Amnesty. the last good day of the year 2024.
Hey everyone! Did you enjoy Christmas? I had fried chicken. In Japan, it’s common to eat cake and chicken during Christmas due to marketing influence. Recently, eating salmon has also become popular.
Putting that aside, let's return to our main topic.
What is "Tensha-bi" (天赦日)?
Tensha-bi is considered the most auspicious day in the Japanese calendar, a special day on which anything is believed to bring good fortune. It is interpreted as "the day when the heavens forgive all sins," and it is believed that negative energies and obstacles are removed by divine intervention. This makes it the perfect day to start something new or make significant decisions.
Actions considered especially favorable:
- Marriage or registration of marriage
Tensha-bi is considered the perfect day to mark the beginning of a new life together. It is believed to be highly auspicious, and the couple can receive even stronger blessings from family and friends.
- Opening a business or store
This is an ideal day to start a new business. It is considered a good time to wish for prosperity and success in one’s endeavors.
- Moving or signing contracts
Tensha-bi is the best day for moving into a new home or signing important contracts. It is said to help avoid bad luck and foster good relationships and connections.
- Purchasing or beginning to use a new wallet
For those wishing to enhance their financial fortune, Tensha-bi is an excellent day to buy a new wallet or start using one.
- Confessing love or proposing marriage
It is the best day to express love or propose to someone, as the chances of success are believed to increase.
- Starting new lessons or hobbies
Beginning a new skill or hobby on Tensha-bi is thought to boost personal growth and bring favorable results.
And also December 26 is not only a "Tensha-bi", the most auspicious day in the Japanese calendar, but also a "Ichiryū Manbaibi" (One Grain Ten Thousandfold Day), a day when actions taken are believed to bear fruit a thousand or even ten thousand times over in the future. Moreover, the "Jūni-shoku" (an annotation in calendars indicating the fortune and significance of the day) for this date is "Tatsu", a symbol of great luck.
Additionally, this day is a "Kinoe-ne" (甲子) day. The "Kinoe-ne" is considered a fortuitous day, as actions initiated on this day are believed to lead to long-lasting prosperity.
Today is a very auspicious day, but in Japan, it’s almost over. Are there similar days to Tensha-bi in countries outside Japan? I tried looking it up but couldn’t find anything. See you later!
