Superstitions and Old Wives’ Tales: Haircuts and Full Moon Fishing

Why is it considered unlucky to get a haircut at the beginning of the month?

A haircut is a way of grooming oneself, and as hair greatly affects one’s appearance, it can lead to a change in identification.

However, getting a haircut involves removing something valuable from your body. The first day of the lunar month is considered the start of one’s luck for the entire month. Therefore, cutting hair is thought to cut off that luck. Any actions involving breakage, removal, abandonment, or separation are avoided at the beginning of the month. Thus, people refrain from getting haircuts at the start of the lunar month.

Getting a haircut at the beginning of the month is associated with abandonment and separation, which could lead to a month of bad luck in business and finances. Additionally, people tend to avoid spending money on the first day of the month, and getting a haircut involves spending money.

Moreover, the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month are when the moon’s cycle changes, affecting the Earth. During these days, our ancestors avoided actions that could impact their physical well-being, including sexual relations, and even childbirth, to maintain health.

The ancients also believed that the first day of the month was when the gods kept a close eye on one’s fortune, and a haircut could change one’s appearance, leading to bad luck.

Thus, out of respect for tradition, whether rich or poor, it is best to avoid haircuts at the beginning of the lunar month, even with promotions or discounts. Since getting a haircut is not an urgent matter, postponing it by a day or two should not cause any harm. So, if you’re planning to get a haircut, schedule it a few days later to avoid the first day of the lunar month.

Why is it considered unlucky to go fishing on a full moon night?

Fishing is a leisurely pastime for many, but it’s important not to overindulge and deplete one’s blessings. Full moon nights are when fish feed, so fishing at night often results in catching larger fish. Especially on full moon nights, fish tend to swim in schools, making it an ideal time for a bountiful catch. However, this also means we end up taking more lives, and doing so on a full moon night is considered inauspicious.

Additionally, according to ancient legends, full moon nights are when strange phenomena and evil spirits may appear, so going fishing on a full moon night could invite bad luck and danger. Full moon nights also tend to have more geomagnetic fluctuations, which can lead to health issues like catching a cold or experiencing a water-related accident. With more giant fish present during a full moon, there’s also a chance of encountering mythical creatures.

However, from an economic perspective, full moon nights can be lucrative for fishermen, as they often result in a more substantial catch.

So, if you enjoy fishing as a hobby, it’s advisable to avoid full moon nights to prevent bad luck and excessive killing.
