When should you start using your wallet? Lucky days and how long you should let it sit for a while
Rather than buying a new wallet and starting to use it right away, it's recommended that you keep it for a few days before using it.
It is said that if you start using a new wallet on an auspicious day, your luck will improve.
In this article, we will introduce you to recommended auspicious days to start using your wallet, days you should avoid, and the period of time you should let it sit before starting to use it.
What is an auspicious day to start using a wallet?
It is said that if you start using a newly purchased wallet on an auspicious day, it will bring good luck and improve your fortune.
Here we will explain each of the auspicious days to start using a wallet.
Heavenly forgiveness day
Tensha-nichi is considered the most auspicious day among all the auspicious days in Japan.
It is said to be the day when heaven forgives all sins, and anything started on Tensha Day will go well.
This is said to be an especially good day for starting new things or trying new things you've never done before, so it's also a great day to start using a new wallet.
Tensha Day is determined by the season and the Chinese zodiac sign, and only occurs about five or six times a year. Therefore, if you want to spend money on this day, it is recommended that you check it well in advance in your schedule.
One Grain Manbai Day
Ichiryuu Manbai-bi is an auspicious day whose origin is that "a single grain of rice bears ten thousand times the fruit."
Since ancient times, this has been considered an auspicious day for sowing seeds, but nowadays it is said that "the money you put into your wallet will come back ten thousand times over," so it is also said to be a good day to start using a new wallet.
It is said that it is good to start anything related to financial luck on this day.
Tiger Day
Tiger Day is the day that corresponds to the tiger in the Chinese zodiac, and occurs once every 12 days.
This is an auspicious day also known as the day for bringing good fortune in money.
The tiger's yellow stripes are said to symbolize financial luck, so this day is considered a good one to do anything related to money.
Also, as the proverb goes, "A tiger travels a thousand miles and returns a thousand miles," the tiger is said to be an animal that can travel a thousand miles in a day, and has long been passed down as an analogy for something that is full of energy and drive.
Based on this saying, there is a theory that if you take out your wallet on a tiger day, the money you take out will be returned to you straight away.
Snake Day
Like Tiger Day, Snake Day (Minohi) is a day that corresponds to the snake in the Chinese zodiac and occurs once every 12 days.
Since ancient times, the snake has been considered the messenger or incarnation of Benzaiten, the goddess of wealth. Therefore, it is said that if you do something related to money on a snake day, you will receive the god's help.
Among all the snake days, the one that is considered to be particularly auspicious is the Tsuchinotomi day, which comes around once every 60 days. Why not consider this as a good time to clear out your wallet?
Taian
Among the six lucky days of the year - Sensho, Tomobiki, Senbu, Butsumetsu, Taian, and Shakko - Taian is considered the most auspicious day.
Taian is said to be a day when everything goes well, so it is recommended not only for starting to use your wallet, but also for celebrating and making wishes.
Taian comes around once every six days, so it's easier to time it to withdraw money than other auspicious days such as Tensha Day. It's also a recommended auspicious day if you want to withdraw your new wallet early.
When auspicious days overlap, your luck will improve even more.
Although it is rare, there are days when all of the above lucky days overlap. These days are said to be the "best luck days," and are especially recommended for starting to use your wallet.
The rare days when these lucky days coincide are often featured in the news. It's a good idea to check the lucky days of the year in advance and then decide on the day to spend your money.
Are there any days I should avoid when starting to use my wallet?
While there are auspicious days to start using your wallet, there are also days when you should avoid putting it down.
It is a day of misfortune that comes around every eight days. It is believed that no matter what you do on this day, it will not go well.
It is said that an unlucky day can overlap with an auspicious day, and in that case, the luck of the auspicious day will be halved. Therefore, when checking the auspicious day to start using a wallet, it is a good idea to check whether it overlaps with an unlucky day.
Is it okay if the purchase day is not an auspicious day?
Some people may be wondering whether it is best to purchase a new wallet on an auspicious day.
Basically, it is considered more important to start using a wallet than to buy it on the day. Therefore, even if the day you bought it is an unlucky day, there will be no problem in terms of luck as long as you start using it on an auspicious day.
However, there are of course also people who are particular about the purchase date and choose to buy on an auspicious day.
However, if you try to choose an auspicious day for both purchasing the wallet and starting to use it, you may find it difficult to find the right timing.
It would be counterproductive if you were unable to change your wallet smoothly and ended up stressing out, so if it's difficult to match both to an auspicious day, we recommend just focusing on the day you start using it.
Other than auspicious days, what is the best time of year to start using your wallet?
In addition to auspicious days, there are other times during the year when your financial luck is more likely to improve.
It is said that financial matters are more likely to go well in the spring and autumn, so it is especially recommended to start using your wallet on an auspicious day during these times.
Here we will explain why spring and autumn are good times to start using your wallet.
spring
The word "spring" is said to be a season associated with financial luck, as it evokes the image of a wallet full of money and feeling "full."
Please note that spring in this case refers to the period from the beginning of spring around February 4th to around March 4th in the lunar calendar.
autumn
As the saying goes, "Autumn is a fruitful season," autumn is the season when there is a plentiful harvest of grains, fruits, and other crops.
Since autumn is a time reminiscent of abundance, it is also thought to bring in a lot of money.
Specifically, it refers to the period from the autumn equinox around September 23rd to around November 24th.
When should you start using your wallet?
When starting to use a new wallet, it is said to be more auspicious if you consider not only the auspicious day but also the time of day.
The recommended time to start using it is from 5 pm to 11 pm. In Feng Shui, this time is believed to increase your luck with money.
Therefore, it's a good idea to organize and replace the contents of your wallet during the evening on the day you decide to start using it.
It is said that when you replace the contents of your wallet or start using it, your luck will improve if you keep the following things in mind.
Things to keep in mind to improve your luck
-Keep the inside and outside of your wallet clean at all times
- Carefully select and store credit cards and other cards
- Store receipts and other paper items separately instead of piling them up in your wallet
How many days should I leave my new wallet before using it?
When you buy a new wallet, it is said that it is best to let it sit for a while before starting to use it right away.
This is because in Feng Shui, it is said that "by letting your wallet rest in advance, you can store good fortune in it."
Specifically, it is said that it is best to let it sit for nine days and then start using it on the tenth day.
However, depending on the auspicious day you want to withdraw your money, it may be difficult to start using it exactly 10 days after purchase.
This number is just a guideline, so in reality, it's fine to let it sit for about two weeks. It's a good idea to count backwards from the date you plan to purchase the wallet so that the day you start using it is an auspicious day.
It is also said that when you lay your new wallet down, wrapping it in a clean handkerchief, Japanese paper, or washi paper will bring you even more luck.
How much money should I put in my new wallet when I first start using it?
When you start using a new wallet, it is considered a good idea to put more money in it than usual.
This is because it is said that a wallet remembers the amount of money that was first put in it. Therefore, it is a good idea to put about 2 to 3 times the amount of money you normally put in your wallet when you take out a new one.
It is also said that for a while after you start using the wallet, it is a good idea to try not to increase the amount of money coming in and out too much.
The key is to maintain a state in which you have more money than usual for a long period of time.
However, since you will be carrying a lot of money for a while after you start using it, you need to be careful not to drop your wallet or have it stolen.
