Japanese lucky days

Five kinds of lucky days from the Japanese calendar. Tap any date for that day's almanac.

Tenshanichi

Japan's luckiest day in the traditional calendar, only five or six a year: heaven forgives all, so it suits new beginnings.

The day one grain becomes ten thousand: good for starting things, opening accounts or a new wallet, but avoid borrowing.

Every twelve days. In Japanese custom, money spent comes back, so it suits a new wallet or travel.

Every twelve days, tied to the goddess Benzaiten: in Japanese custom, good for money matters and the arts.

The best of the six-day rokuyo cycle; weddings and moves in Japan often pick a Taian day.

This is the general reading. On your own chart it shifts with the stars' brightness, the San Fang Si Zheng and the year you are in.
