Days that overlap with other lucky days
Jun 19 (Tsuchinoto-mi day + Ichiryū-manbai-bi)
Days that fall on Fujōju-bi or Jushi-bi are left out. When Tenshabi and Fujōju-bi coincide, some schools say Tenshabi cancels the bad luck and others give Fujōju-bi priority.
How to use Snake days
Visit a Benzaiten shrine and pray for money and progress in the arts. Snake days also suit a new wallet or starting a musical instrument. The Tsuchinoto-mi day, once every 60 days, is luckier still.
The meaning of these days is explained in Lucky days and festivals of the eto, and the calculation in How the calendar is calculated. Almanac notes can differ between traditions.
